1.
Jay Z (10)-A big lift for arguably the greatest
to ever do it. 4:44 is the reason he’s up here. But Jigga has long been one of
my favorites.
2.
The Game (1)- I hear he’s only gonna make one more
album. Well don’t rush it. I rated his last 3 albums really high. He’s got a
case for best rapper of all time so far….
3.
Kanye West (2)-I’m a giant Kanye stan I admit.
But he’s not my favorite as of right now….Still top 3 tho.
4.
Drake (3)-Drizzy, I like some Drizzy songs mane.
More Life grew on me, and Views was also great….he needs to let his works
breathe before dropping another project.
5.
Logic (18)-A HUGE jump for Logic. I consider him
one of the best rappers of today’s new elite.
6.
J. Cole (5)-Cole world seems to do no wrong
since 2013. I loved 4YEO and well I have been big on the last 2 projects as
well before that.
7.
Kendrick Lamar (4)-Kung Fu Kenny is an all time
great in the making….but DAMN wasn’t as good as his first 2 albums. Despite
that tho, I’m a huge supporter of Kdot.
8.
Eminem (7)-I think Em would be higher had he
dropped his new album already. Look for him to be higher next time.(in 2018)
9.
Nas (9)-I’m a real fan of Nasir Jones.
Ironically he was 9 last year too lol.
10.
N.W.A. (13)-Dr. Dre and Ice Cube are 2 of my
favorite artists. I like Eazy E and Mc Ren too.
11.
T.I. (8)-I know T.I. is apparently the best
dirty south rapper of all time by my eyes, but that last album wasn’t enough to
propel him into the top 10 for me.
12.
Lupe Fiasco (6)-Lupe Lupe Lupe. That last album,
Drogas Light…was very polarizing. I like most of it tho. He’s dropped 6 spots.
Not bad tho.
13.
Kid Cudi (new)-Cudder has made my lists before…but
he was absent last time…and probably the time before that too. That last album
PP&DS was amazing.
14.
Big Boi (new)-Big Boi is dope af. He’s left
3stacks in the dust as far as solo work goes.(You cannot dispute me on that).
15.
Common (new)-Again he’s been on my lists before,
but not last time. Chi town’s Nas is amazing. Black America Again was lit af
last year.
16.
Vince Staples (new)-I’m a big fan of Vince. I
think when all is said and done he’ll be an all time great west coast rapper up
there with The Game and Kendrick….
17.
Young Jeezy (15)-Jeezy is really good. He’s
really improved from his old days. However I feel he’s running out of ad libs
hahahha.
18.
Rick Ross (14)-Ross just dropped a great album
this year…but he’s not one of my all time favorites. Great right now tho.
19.
Tyler the Creator(new)-I don’t think this is the
first list he’s been on but he wasn’t up here last time. He always makes better
albums every time he comes out.
20.
Run the Jewels (new)-Killer Mike & El-P are
dope and hard hitting rappers. RTJ3 was awesome!
