Lately everybody has been coming out with a list of their top fifty rappers. Who deserves to be at the top? This has been the biggest question the past couple of months. Here is my top ten rappers:
-
Andre3000
-
Andre3000 is my all-time favorite artist. He is part of the group OutKast. I grew up listening to his music. My dad is from Georgia just like Andre3000. His lyrics and music are superb. Speakerboxx / The Love Below is my favorite album.
- Kanye West
-
I am a big Kanye West fan. I like his older albums more, like the Late Registration album. His Graduation album is my favorite. I love every song of that album.
- Big Boi
-
Big Boi is the other half of OutKast. One again Speakerboxx / The Love Below is a great album to listen to. Just like Andre3000 I grew up listening to him. Big Boi still makes music to this day.
-
Lil Wayne
-
Lil Wayne has been around for a while now. He has so many albums and song features. The Carter II and I Am Not a Human Being II are some of my favorite albums.
- Kendrick Lamar
-
My favorite album is the DAMN album. His old music is very good as well. He is a great lyricist. His songs are really deep.
- Jay-Z
-
I like more of his older albums like The Black Album and The Dynasty. Also the Watch the Throne album which he made with Kanye West.
- Nicki Minaj
-
Nicki Minaj has so many good songs. She is definitely the greatest female rapper out right now. (Even though she “retired”). She raps and sings. All her music is great.
- Lauryn Hill
-
Lauryn Hill was the best female rapper back in the day. She was one of the female artists that paved the way for female artists now. She was in a group called the Fugees and then decided to go off on her own. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is my favorite album.
- Twista
-
Twista was one of the fastest rappers back in the day. He won a Guinness World Records in 1992. He is a great rapper and producer.
- Missy Elliott
-
Missy Elliott is the first female rap artist to enter the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
