Tier Artists

I've been online for a bit today, and the sites i hit up are all talking about there favorite rappers. People saying "2Pac is the greatest rapper ever!" Yeah, dropping thirty albums in your lifetime doesn't mean your a great rapper. How many hits you got off those albums? Well the point of this post is to tell you my favorite rappers, i'm not saying they're the best, Because i think there is no way to determine that. Is there an equation for that? I'll even tell you why i like them so you can debate this with me when you have the time.

Favorite Hip-Hop Artists (No Real Order, But Ill Try To Keep In Order As Best As I Can. ):

1.I'll Start This Off With [KANYE WEST]. If You Heard College Dropout You Know What Im Talking About. And Even After That His Style Kinda Declined, But You Can Tell He's Not Even Trying Anymore. But As Soon As He Tries To Get A Hitter, Its Golden. If You Want To Say Other Wise, Refer To "Never Let You Down", "All Falls Down" , "Jesus Walks", And "Family Business" And Even In Later Albums, "Good Life", And the Symoblism In "Flashing Lights". If You Can Hit Anything Like Those Hits, Talk To Me.

2. [JAY-Z] Lets Face It, "Girls, Girls, Girls" Was Your Song. "H To The Izzo" Gets You Dancing, Or Singing The Chorus. And There's No Denying 'Collision Course' Hit Harder Then Chris Brown. His Spit In 'Diamonds' Killed It. "Roc Boys (And The Winner Is)" Hits. And Tell Me Why All Good CD Collections Got A Bootleg Of "The Grey Album"?

3. [LUPE FIASCO] A Man Who Needs No Introduction. From His Freestyles To His Albums, Mixtapes, Live Performances. All Golden. He Can Keep It Cool In "Coulda Been" Or Go Hard With His Gadget Flow. He Can Convay A Story Of Characters Like 'The Cool', 'The Street', And 'The Game' Through His Vivid Lyrics. He Deserves The Title As, The Coolest Nigga, What?

4. [NOTORIOUS B.I.G.] Two Albums Got Him As Big As 2pac. Just Two. What You Got On That? Juciy? Notorious Thug? Mo Money Mo Problems? Hypnotize? 1970 Something? Yeah 2pac Got Changes, And That Was A Hitter. But What You Got On Those Hits? Now All We Need To Know Is, Where The Party At? And Can i Bring By Gat?

5. Where The Weezy At? If You Guys Don't Think [LIL' WAYNE] Is Good, You Guys Missed Out On Like 5 Mixtapes, And Two Albums. Yeah He Reuses Lines, But Who Else Can Pull That Off And Make That Much Money? A Million Albums In A Week? What You Got On That? From Songs Like "Tie My Hands" And "Get To Comfortable" To "Rapper Eater" "Ask Them Hoes" And "Best Rapper Alive". Not To Mention His Infinite Amount Of Freestyles. Noone Can Compare To His Clever And Witty Spits Or His Deep, Emotional Songs And Peoms. If You Guys Think Lil' Wayne Killed Hip Hop. Do Your Research.

6. If We're Talking About Hip Hop I Gotta Throw Down The Name That Got Me Into Hip Hop. [SLUG From Atmosphere] Theres Music, Then Theres Good Music, Then Theres Atmosphere. It Takes Music To A New Level For Me. "Overcast!" To "When Life Gives You Lemons..." The Music Is Amazing. Songs Like "God's Bathroom Floor" "God Loves Ugly" "Vampires". Take Your Pick At Any Song On The "GodLovesUgly" CD. Atmosphere Is Pure Gold. And What You Got On The Worlds Longest Freestyle Record. Trying To Freestyle Against Him Is Like Trying To Beat Ann Frank In Hide And Seek.

7. [IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE] Holds Me Down All Day. If Yours Talking About Political Rappers, You Have To Bring This Guy Up. Complex, And Elegent. This Guy Is the Smartest Rapper Alive. Stomping On Anything In His Way. Rap And Hip Hop In Its Raw, True Form.

8. I Actually Never Really Listened To [NAS] Until I Listened To 'Lupe Fiasco's It Was Written', And He Said "It Was Written" Was His Favorite Album. Since Lupe Is One Of My Favorite Rappers, I Took His Advice And Listened To It. And Its Easily One Of The Best Albums I've Ever Heard. "Street Dreams" And "If I Ruled The World" Completely Made The Album For Me. This Guy Is Hotter Then Dylon. And Everyone Knows, Dylon Spits Hot Fire. All Thats Left To Say Is, It Was Written.

I Didnt Think I Would Make It This Far, Seeing As Good Music Is Hard To Find Now-A-Days. Seeing As Im Running Short On Time (This Blog Took Longer Then I Thought.) 9. And 10. Well Be My Honorable Mention Section. Alot Of artist Are Amazing, But I Don't Listen To Them As Much As The Other 8 Mentioned.
