10. Eminem
Despite critiques of his later work, Eminem started his career with arguably the greatest 3-peat run of albums in all of hip hop. One of our best lyricists who puts across his passion in a way no other can. No one has made an impact like Marshall Mathers. An icon.

9. Scarface
Never the most lyrically crazy, Face says a lot with a little. One of the most consistent of all time, never really dipping in 30 years. His street raps are wrote with such great perspective, and finds it easy to bring tears to eyes. Get well soon legend

8. Kendrick Lamar
King of his generation. Kendrick’s conceptuality and message is something we’ve never seen at a mainstream level. Nothing he’s touched has been less than great. Everything from deep vulnerability to brag raps, Kendrick has done it all in rap in under a decade.

7. Black Thought
The best wordsmith we’ve ever seen. From his iconic 10 minute Flex freestyle to his classics with The Roots, Thought has been maybe the most consistent MC of all time. An alien among aliens, anyone could get bodied by him and he can stick to a concept so well.

6. Ghostface Killah
The greatest member of Wu-Tang. Ghostface has one of the best discographies in hip hop with a huge involvement in an arguable 6 classics. His flow is so crisp and rough yet smooth as he rips through any beat with his iconic delivery. So many legendary verses.

5. Andre 3000
Andre 3000 is an enigma. His lyrical ability is in the absolute highest tier, he is pivotal in the progression of hip hop, a pioneer and was the driving force in 5 classic albums. Andre experimented and toyed with greatness and it worked every time, a true artist.

4. Biggie
Everything Biggie touched was classic material. Biggie was flawless; his flow, ability to put together an album and tell a story all might be the best we’ve ever seen. His smooth delivery, clever humour and the way he embraced his flaws is still unmatched to this day.

3. Tupac
From the thug to the poet, Pac’s aura of greatness was like no other. His ability to convey his infectious passion and emotion is the best we’ve ever seen. With 3 classics at the age of 25, he showed no signs of slowing down. His poetry continues to inspire, even today.

2. Jay-Z
Jay-Z has excelled in every single aspect that we judge a rapper on. From his skill to his growth and consistency to his ability to make a classic. He has no weaknesses. From his gangster mafioso debut to the father of today, Hov really has the blueprint to hip hop.

1. Nas
Nas at his best is the best MC to ever grace hip hop. His debut Illmatic is unrivalled among hip hop’s greatest albums and is one of the greatest music pieces, ever. His storytelling and lyricism is a step above anything in hip hop. Nas is the greatest rapper of all time.
