the fundamental problem with this "article" (in the spirit of "bleacher report" i reckon) is that the greatest rapper alive doesn't change every year.

when i really wanna milk a cheap laugh i call tupac the greatest rapper alive. and i'm not even lying.

In the 2002 Eminem blurb:

Quote:

Yet, thanks to his songwriting skills it was also a massive pop hit and had middle Americans who would otherwise never interact with rap chanting along. There may be unwelcome side effects to that (as seen by the burgeoning number of white rappers), but Em still spread the gospel of hip-hop and did it in the most authentic way possible.

Interesting...

Perhaps they should have Taken two, KD

2000 should have been Ghostface. Nothing was better than Supreme Clientele that year.

Chas, they wrote this about Public Enemy

1988 was Public Enemy's year. There is no way around it. It Takes A Nation Of Millions exploded louder than a bomb and changed the direction of rap for at least three full years after its release. But it wasn't all about Chuck D. It was about the idea. It was about the group. It was about the message. It was about the noise. And yes, Chuck brought all of the above. Chuck has one of the greatest voices in rap history. But still, despite all of the accolades you can give him during that period, he just wasn't the top lyricist.

Sounds about right.

No Wu Tang love either, which is insane because they ran shit from 93-97

So I think Public Enemy, Wu, and Beasties got screwed out of this contest.

not to mention The Roots, Pharcyde, EPMD, Black Sheep, Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, Blackstar - no Mos Def or Talib Kweli or Pharorahe Monch on there either? Rawkus did have a golden era itself around 2000....

but yet they listed Treach like 3 times ??? I like the 1st Naughty By Nature album and he was an OK rapper but c'mon
and they did list Q-Tip and a few others that were in groups

Macklemore is a lock for 2014 right? I guess 2013 is already over. Did a Cubs fan write this article?

They would have been better off saying best rap solo artist

Groups are almost always prevelant in rap.

Run DMC
EPMD
WU
Beasties

Even now with Odd Future.

And how was Tyler not a top 4 rapper in 2011-12?

You couldnt get away from him those years

Andre 3000 mentioned for Stankonia. Always cursed by releasing material at the same time as Biggie and Jay-Z's best stuff. Should have received a mention in 1995...
