Top 5 rappers of all time?

[Soy]

Okay basically you post who you think the top 5 rap artists are [of all time]
Mine would be:
1. Tupac
2. Jay-Z
3. Biggie
4. Big Pun
5. Nas

[Scouse]

1. Tupac (no doubt about that)
2. Biggie
3. 50 Cent
4. Snoop
5. Dre/Eazy-E

[Bear-Max]

Kanye, Tupac, Nas, Dre, Eminem.

(Not necessarily in that order).

Snoop and Jay-Z come very close though

[FlyingJesus]

Difficult to say who the best rappers are, as so many people as well as groups have been influential. A better question (and the one which I think has been answered) would be who our favourites are.

For me...

1. Jay-Z
2. Ghostface Killah (I like all of WuTang really, but him the best)
3. Nas
4. Rakim
5. Raekwon

not much one for west coast

[-Wolverine]

Tupac
Jay-Z
Snoop
Biggie
Dre

[Energizer]

Eminem
Kanye West
Tupac
Jay-Z
Chamillionaire

Well they're my favourites anywayz.

[Tom H]

Puff Daddy (P Diddy or Sean Combs)
Kanye West
Jay-Z

[YoManGo!]

tupac, method man, biggie, ice cube/eazy e (undecided) and chuck d.

whilst ice cube is probably better than eazy e; eazy never sold out and so gains points.
