Thanks for labeling my question as great after 10.000 years... dear GAG Team... now afterwards ignore me for the next 10.000 years

My favorite rapper from the 90s was 2Pac. Out of every rapper alive during the time, I believed that 2Pac was the best, mainly because of his ability to rap about several different subjects. Many of the subjects that he rapped about are still relevant until this day despite 2Pac being dead for 26 years. 2Pac definitely had the voice for rap and the delivery of his bars were perfect. While 2Pac might didn't have the most complex punchlines, fastest speed, or super intricate rhyme schemes, 2Pac never needed to rap in such a way because his purpose on tracks was always to relay an important message in the most clear and concrete way possible so that everybody listening and those that needed the message could understand it clearly. It's the same reason many people still play 2Pac's music today and consider him the best to ever do it during his time at least.

WOORDD!!! Enjoy the MHO Sweetheart

[DenizLikesTennis]

And in the end, he got caught up in Gangbangin activities which cost him his life😢

[melanieeeB]

50 cent for sure followed by eminem
but yeah to that time there were a few other good ones like LL cool, dmx, tupac, dr. Dre, snoop, jay z etc

[DenizLikesTennis]

R. I. P DMX Big dawg
R. I. P To the greatest and no one matchable off all time 2PAC❤

50 Cent - in da club, outta control, disco inferno, realist killaz ft 2pac, P I M P

[MysteriousDarkness]

@melanieeeB
50 Cent first album did not come out until 2003.

[MuddyMole]

None really. There were loads of really great rap songs, but they were all by one-hit-wonders (I don't care if their other songs sold well - they were still shit).
For example:
Coolio -> Gangster's Paradise, and nothing else.
2pac -> Changes, and nothing else.
Mark Morrison -> Return of the Mack, and nothing else.
Jurassic Five -> Concrete Schoolyard, and nothing else.
Public Enemy -> Harder Than You Think, and nothing else.
And so on...

The only rap/hip-hop where I'd actually listen to a whole album, is Aussie stuff from 2000s onwards (Hilltop Hoods, Pez, 360, Bliss n Eso, etc).

[Chazmatazz269]

Eminem, i would argue is the greatest of all time.

[DenizLikesTennis]

10.000% 1 billion %

The real slim shady and Godzilla will let you know why... this guy did the same what 2pac was doing

"Dear Mama" - Mockingbird

[Datboi65]

This question is for me :)

Has to be Big L. Less mainstream, more underground. Not a lot of people know him unfortunately, but he was the king when it comes to delivery and punchlines.

Just watch this for reference:

Big L was cool, Jay Z came up under him. I liked him in Da Graveyard lol

[Datboi65]

@Fuentes Yeah, that's some hardcore shit. Only had one verse, but absolutely killed it. His 98 freestyle tho was 🔥🔥

[Fuentes]

Yeah I got most his music in my phone. Their was Hella greats in the 90s that dropped dead. But they was the best and now we got abuncha fuck niggas now

[Datboi65]

@Fuentes Yeah, I don't mess with todays hip hop. Most of it is autotune and repetitive lines like "aye" and "skrrr" which are just super cringe. Back in the days we had Rakim, Ice Cube, Pac and Big, Dr Dre, Eazy E and many more that were far superior in lyrics and delivery, and they actually used to write their own lines as well. This new generation has no taste in music.

[AmandaYVR]

Marshall Mathers aka Eminem. He's an ass, but man that boy has rhythm. No one has better musicality in rap. But he sounds like quite a nasty person.

[exitseven]

do they have rap music in Canada?

[AmandaYVR]

@exitseven Not as much but some, yes.
(I can't stand Drake, and I don't know any of these others except The Weeknd.)

[LaBokaChula]

I can't decide between Pac and Easy. :/

But either way, one of those two.

[DenizLikesTennis]

Sick... no one has mentioned eazy-e before and I was actually waiting for it for somebody to mention... Eazy-E would be the REAL and BEST protection/option for 2pac. He is protected and affiliated with soo many crip sets in different neighborhoods.

He would be alive. Death Row Records led him to his demise. He was affiliating. Chose the wrong side.

[LaBokaChula]

I agree with you because he had so much respect and love in Compton. I don't personally believe that the drama between him and Dre, snoop, etc.. would've continued I think eventually they would've squashed everything.

[MystiKaL]

Great question. There were so many... Pac, Biggie, LL Cool J, Busta, Dre, KRS One, Nate, Snoop, Warren G, Smoothe Da Hustla, Nas...

I'd go with Biggie. The Big man was just amazing.

[UnknownSwede]

I like it when they call me big papa!

[Anonymous]

Eminem debuted in 1999. So Eminem.
Second, Tupac.
Third, maybe LL Cool J or someone? I dunno.

[DenizLikesTennis]

Eminem, my brother... is insane... after 2pac died... eminem be vibing the nr.1 of alm time... and he white in the hip hop industry... no attention and love from the blacks/homies.

Man this is so emotional and deep meaningful😢😢

[jshm2]

Snoop, Ice T, Ice Cube, Easy E, Dr Dre, Bone Thugs, Tupac, ODB, Method Man...

80's and 90's was when rap was something to behold. Nowadays it's mostly just punk shit.

[Haha456]

i used to think rap sounded cool when i was a kid. but now that im grown, its for losers. sorry.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Eminem (Lose Yourself; Mockingbird, if the lines about murdering a bird would get excluded) but He ain’t my favourite. I just don’t listen to other rappers and the ones I do listen to didn’t rap in the 90s.

[TroyDT2]

Not really a Rap fan but this 1990's Rap song busts me up:

[coachTanthony]

That update bahahahahaha

My favorite has to be 2pac

[Filthy_Immigrant]

I never actually had a favorite rapper but I always had favorite rap groups/label.

I liked Bad Boy Records, Wu Tang Clan, Ruff Ryders, Def Row, and Cash Money

[Steamnir]

Id say all of them, my favorite era of music was the 90s

[OlderAndWiser]

James Taylor, the original rapper.

https://youtu.be/EtnJhGupgnA

[UnknownSwede]

From someone that was active in the 90's I would say Eazy-E or Nas. Although, most rappers I listen to were active in the 90's.

[tfan1]

Hate all of it. Rap is Crap only someone dropped the C

[misfittoy]

LL Cool J
