2. Tupac
Don't even need to continue the list after that. Nobody else even comes close.

Biggie, Method Man, Big Boi & Andre? You're silly.
-
Why be a king when you can be a god.
-
Bullshjt. Tupac is not that good.
-
Says someone who doesn't understand black culture or the positive influence pac had.
-
Black culture. Like selling drugs, hitting women, and stealing shit? What a wonderful lifestyle.
-
Oh look another ignorant fool.
-
I've listened to a lot of rap in my years, so I speak from experience. The things I mentioned are what 80% or more of rappers talk about. No amount of name calling will change that fact.
-
But the fact that you think it's what black culture is about or even that it's what pac promoted is ridiculous. It's what modern rappers do to get famous. That's all.
-
Bullshjt. His impact has nothing to do with whether or not he's the best rapper. Dude was a backup dancer who played a thug in a movie and then convinced himself it was true. He definitely had some skill, but there are plenty of better rappers.
-
Actually it has everything to do with it. The title of "best rapper" doesn't only include technical skills. There's so much more to rap and you're ignorant if you think otherwise.
-
Again, more opinion. According to you, it's all about popularity in the black community. It's a big popularity contest. Claiming there's "so much more to rap" doesn't make your weak argument right. There are plenty of better rappers than Tupac.
-
You're just proving that you don't know anything about the black community.
-
Don't be a moron. Your entire argument is that he's the best because of his impact on the black community, and when I tell you that's not the only factor for judging someone, you come back and try to tell me that there's so much more to hip-hop, while still arguing solely based on that one factor. You're contradicting yourself. Impact on the black.community can be considered, but like you're saying half the time, there's more to rap than that. If we rate rappers based ONLY on that, you might win this one. But there's more to it than that, which has been my point this whole time.
-
Obviously his impact is the biggest reason but it's not the only reason.
-
You can make that argument, sure. That's your opinion. But there's technical ability and several other factors we could consider here, and hip-hop culture doesn't belong to black people, so I can argue just as well that his impact on black culture doesn't make him the best rapper.
-
Lol. You know who made hip hop accessible to more than just black people? Eminem.
-
You've now disqualified yourself from this whole conversation. Hip-hop culture has always been multicultural. Since before day 1. The first writer to go all-city in New York, graffiti Mecca, was Taki183, a Greek kid. Go rent Style Wars for the first time ever, that will be a good start for your education.
