After hearing the carter 2 I think I agree with #7 100%, if u don't know what I'm talking about do yourself a favor and bang that shit for a little, it will blow ur fucking mind. However, this list is biased because rap is not just about flow or persona, if kanye west didn't make beats how would that effect your opinion about almost every great rapper out there who big k has dropped a sick beat for, but besides that my shit is as accurate as a shot from waynes nina. Oh yea, eminem doesn't deserve on any list except one compiling crazy motherfuckers that should be put in an insane asylum

[can_i_live]

4.rakim/krs
5.fab/jadakiss/cam

how the fuck is dr dre mentioned with the greatest rapper? nigga please.

[martin]

after much thougt ive realized we only have favorites, there is no top mc.. sometimes hometown poets are mentioned, so that tells you that it depends on our perspective...what is the difference between effortless beauty and the beauty of effort??it depends on our mood for example..nas...introspective times,jay-z...pseudo-pimpish expression..scarface...streetlife...pac...emotional struggle...chino-xl...wordplay....ras kass...the rappers rapper..biggie smalls....actually unbelieveably gangsta in his raps...unlike most singers, rappers can take you to a different place with each new artist and the beat is like the brain the words are the heart...they all come from God so you know humans talent is infinite, nevertheless the best hip hop mc overall is nas...like a mellower krs1 he is..digging into the words in a cypher that confuses those not in the know in a good way and rubs off on those around him...millenium thug..ghostface....the wu..and those who were inspired by them...kurupt..love mobb deep@ mop's spirit..but nas is the one..jay-z speaks to the pride in us all andre to the weirdness..but nas is the one...loved by few though because the world is becoming more ignorant and wants to justify more evil to forget by partying but no ones perfect.cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
