5 best rap/MC/hip hop artists alive in your opinion????

ok i will begin my list

5. Ice Cube

4. Dmx

3. Jay-z

2. Nas

1. Eminem (controversial decision but eminem has survived the stain of time and sold, hes obviously better than jay-z, but i had to decide, em or Nas, both are good and still are good though both fell off. Jay-z became more of a pop artist since he has been with beyonce, eminem still put out emotional and good records, nas, made you look and hip hop is dead were good records).

In my opinion eminem is the best rapper/MC/ hip hop artist alive.

LOL What a list. I wouldn't put NAS in my top 10 because he is so hypocritical if you listen carefully to his lyrics, DMX was okay but now he can't remember his own rhymes at shows, after flesh of my flesh blood of my blood he was done. Now don't get me wrong NAS has had classics that I listen too, but he is just a hypocrite. But heres my list lol.

In no Particular Order.

1. GZA

2. Immortal Technique

3. Kool G Rap

4. Dre 3000

5. Mos Def
5. Jay-z

4. Juelz Santana

3. Eminem

2. t.i.

1. Lil Wayne or Chamillionare

all of these have something in common they freestyle songs and use those ideas in songs to make a ridiculously crazy flow and beasy lyrics. Each can appeal to different parts of rap: gangsta, comedy, disses, girls, and materials
1.Eminem

2.Dr.Dre

3.Snoop Dogg

4.Ice Cube

5.The Game is doin it more then everyone right now.He is greatest rapper alive material.
KRS-One

Ice Cube

Chuck D

E-40

Kurupt
5.DMX

4.Biggie

3.Nas

2.Pac

1.JIGGA
1~ Tupac

2~ Biggie

3~ Lil Wayne

4~ Lil Kim

5~Busta
1. Nas

This one is a no-brainer - If not, then I got a question: has your @ss ever heard Illmatic? He Single-Handedly built the foundation that modern hip-hop stands on (WITH ONE REALEASE!!!!)

2. GZA / Genius

By far the best out of the Wu-Tang clique. Unbelievably articulate, intelligent, creative and funny - Exhibit A: Liquid Swords

3. Immortal Technique

Has gotten alot of buzz from hip-hop fans. VERY political message coupled with unreal lyricism

4. Jay-Z

The only "commercial" MC i like. No amazing lyrics or strong message here, his music is just so plasant to listen to (isn't that what it's all about?) + He's a legend

5. Raekwon

This one was hard but Raekwon gets the final spot for creating an absolute jewl of an album with Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. If you listen to this CD all the way through you'll experience an almost cinematic experience - it's just so utterly entertaining...
5. Snoop Doggy Dogg

4. Eminem

3. Jay Z

2. Nas

1. Ice Cube

How DMX made your top 5 i'll neva know.
