So this thread is simple but what are your top five favorite rappers either group or solo. This was the first thread I created one GAF and I love seeing people's opinions and finding new artist so I'm doing the same here :)
1. Kendrick Lamar
Damn... This guy can fucking rap. He is a beast and all 4 of his studio albums have been great to masterpiece, with damn having a lot of bangers. The way he switches his voice and flow so effortlessly is a thing of beauty that I respect. Whether it be funky TPAB or gangster Mad city, he is a beast. In discussion for best rap alive as far as I'm concerned.
2. Kanye west
Dude may be nuts but god damn can he make a beat. He may not have the best lyricism but his flow and the way he creates his beats highly make up for it. Hell he created a whole sub genre of rap with 808's. The only album I don't like is Yeezus but even that album has some good songs. This guy just is consistently great.
3. Run the jeweled
These guys are straight fire. While I feel killer mike is the better rapper, el-p makes the best beats in the game. RTJ 3 really cemented them as greats with the way the whole album played off every songs beats and made it seem continuous. They are the definition of bangers.
4. Danny brown
Now this guy use to be a lot higher but I'm not the biggest fan of his new album, aka I really don't like it. Also Old is amazing but the other side isn't my favorite for the album. But holy shit is XXX not the best rap album ever made. It tells such a good story about what it's like to live in Detroit and I just love it. Plus his methepores are the best. Stank puss smellin like cool ranch Doritos.
5. Migos
Allrifht so last time for my trap artist I had ASAP Ferg but now I have seen the light. I still like him but holy shit the migos are what I love about rap. Now I just found out about them so that is why they are so low but culture is an amazing album. They just have so much bangers and have perfected trap. If Hannah Montana or visage don't make you bang your head well then I'm sorry...
So Era as you can tell I'm into new school, but I want to know who you guys are into. Please don't just list tho tell us why :) thank you
