Rakim is the best rapper of all time

[Hatuwkoi]

Just look at these classics, he is the best and he will remain as the best for a very damn long time.




DMX's favourite rapper


He is a real sentence engineer


"Timeless, age dont count in the booth, when your flow submerges in the fountain of youth."
-Rakim the GOAT MC

 

[Peteyandjia]

He was a fiend, before he became a teen.

 

[Threetrees]

You misspelled MF Doom

 

[hohner]

I think this is something everyone can 100% agree on.

 

[SFMMA]

Nah, he really isn't. He got some tight shit though.



RIP Tupac.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

From that era... Big Daddy Kane, IMO.

All time? I'd throw my hat in the Black Thought ring.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

pretty sure Dylan is the best rapper of all time

 

[ScarfaceJr]

Hey look a TS who knows his shit.

Microphone fiend.

 

[JbModest]

pretty sure Dylan is the best rapper of all time

 

[HUGHPHUG]

Can't front on that at all, if I had to choose one it would be Rakim

Dude had it all, the voice, the flow, the lyrics, positivity, street knowledge

I think Black Thought may be better, and there are other emcees I like more, but Rakim Allah is the greatest for me

Skip to 5.45 for Know The Ledge

 

[Dizzy]

 

[RR010V]

I still can't get over how insane his verse in mobb deep - hoodlum is. GOAT

 

[Clear Winner]

He's definitely up there. I'm impressed that of the other suggestions, so far, no Sherbros have thrown any shit MCs names in

I'm kind of impressed and proud of these guys, little bit teary eyed if I'm honest

Where do you stand with UK emcees, who's cream of the crop for you?

 

[WaylonMercy5150]

You spelled Master P wrong.

 

[Threetrees]

Prime Black Thought

[heloder]

Rakim is great, but Nas is the greatest ever.

In terms of hip hop I'd have to say

Chester
Ty
Jehst
Roots Manuva
Mystro
Skinny Man
Kyza


Groups
Mud Fam
London Zoo
Double D Dagger
The IRS

I think some Grime MCs and groups are good though and I'd have a lot of them on my list

 

[I Am Legion]

I grew up with Busta Rhymes and hung around Tribe, De La, LONS.....Thue will all tell you Rakim is the best now and then. Best flow, tone, composition.....the best for sure
