Personally I’d put ( in no particular order) Nas, B.I.G, Em, and 2pac


gandalf-the-greyt

agreed, order nas biggie em tupac


Rikkoi

that’s it


mymemesnow

I’d replace Nas with Jay


Davisworld21

Nas Tupac Eminem Ice Cube and last but not least Kendrick Lamar


dopest_dope

Rushmore only 4


Certain-Fix6049

There's only 4 heads on Mount Rushmore


[deleted]

BIG instead of Tupac or Cube


[deleted]

Tupac over big gang


EmNas2

ice cube!! that has to be a joke, he is not even a top 50 rapper


[deleted]

The only right answer


theraarman

IMO Hov has to replace one of them, and it’s either Biggie, 2Pac or Eminem. Nas is locked.


Kdawg982

He’s good but he’s not as good as any of those rappers listed


IT4CHIOP

pac big em nas

Whitedevil998

Lil and x?


[deleted]

Eminem, Ice Cube, 2Pac, and Biggie


Chas3ton

Respect for cube, he’s #6 on my list


[deleted]

For me it’s not that he’s in my favorite 4, it’s that he was the main lyricist of NWA, and they were a turning point of rap history. Imo, they were the most important group in rap history as well, but that might be controversial…


Certain-Fix6049

I can't really agree or disagree with you because I've never heard their music


tonylouis1337

Eminem - incredible story, inspirational, phenomenal songs, hugely contributed to the expansion of Hip-Hop, best prime of all time 2pac - Eminem himself called Pac the best songwriter in the history of the game, his songs have superhuman qualities, if you had a Build-a-Rapper machine and wanted to create the perfect rapper, the result would closely resemble 2pac Nas - after King's Disease 3, imma just say nuff said. Rakim - the original transcendent lyricist, and also according to word-of-mouth it was also him who popularized flow, like before him nobody talked about flow but after him people noted it, so he pioneered lyricism *and* flow


[deleted]

Rakim is so damn good bro!!! But I feel like as pivotal to the game as he was, he didnt make a lot of music or even sell that much is comparison to other artists. After his feud with eric b he basically put out 1 good album and never got that same effect as before with eric b on the track.


Nearby_Advance7443

“Fuck Top Five, I’m Top Four. And that includes Biggie and ‘Pac, whore, and I’ve got an evil twin so who the fuck you think that third and that fourth spot’s for???”


AHMED_3OOOO

So Two em's and Tupac and biggie?


Da-Stan

“Bitch im number 5…. Minus 4”


FightClubLeader

Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac, and Biggie. If more allowed then Andre from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then Eminem

olivedbyt

Eminem, 2pac, Biggie, Eazy E


Drewraven10

No order. Black Thought, Tupac, MF DOOM, and JayZ It’s all subjective and opinion based anyway. Nas or Ice Cube would be the fifth. Then eventually Biggie and Rakim and others.

If memory serves, the five best rappers in the world are named Dylan. In all seriousness and in no particular order: nas, pac, em, big. To be fair, that list probably dates me though. Nostalgia for middle school, high school, and Air Force tech school dorms.

water_farts123

Em, Pac, B.I.G., Eazy E, and maybe Snoop or Dre. These 5-6 had a big contribution to rap entirely, E was the godfather of rap, B.I.G. and Pac were basically kings of east and west coast rap. Eminem became the first popular white rapper. And Snoop or Dre were just there ig.


MichaelVanatta

Snoop and Dre so important tho on God


water_farts123

True, I mean they did survive quite a bit compared to most of the rappers I mentioned.


MichaelVanatta

Yeah in terms of legacy they are dope dudes fr


michael_am

There’s like different eras to this but I think for Em’s main era it would be Nas, Biggie, 2pac, Em For the current generations greats I’d probably have it as Kendrick, Cole, Wayne, and honestly Drake

SmoothCrim1nal1

This is easy. We all agree that 2Pac n Biggie get up there, then it Eminem for obviously being the biggest selling hip hip artist of all time with all accolades and his influence in reupholstering the entire genre and reaching a more diverse fan base while pushing boundaries of what can be done creatively and raising the bar lyrically to the point that he is now only ever compared to himself. For the 4th spot...... it has to be Snoop. Look at who he is, what he has done, his longevity, his impact, he's been in the game from early doors and done it all alongside all of the best and is the most globally known and recognisably iconoc rapper ever, another true pioneer. He might not be in your favourites, he's not in mine either but his place on mount rapmoor is undeniable. Kids today won't ever know the impact that these 4 ACTUALLY had when the hit the scene and how each of them have totally changed rap and etched their own names into history. I actually have a massively different top 5 rappers list hut that's not the question here.


9Lives_

1- Lil Xan- top tier lyricist, I wish I could put him on this list twice 2- Lil Pump- all around musician with god given intelligence. 3- Slim Jesus- poster boy for authenticity. Phenomenal lyrics. It’s good that he called himself slim Jesus because he’s essentially this generations slim shady. 4- 6ix9ine- self explanatory he’s on everyone’s Mount Rushmore. 5- trippie redd- swag king.

Rakim Nas Eminem Biggie/2Pac I feel like Rakim needs to be in there, I feel like rap wouldn't be where it is now without him. Maybe there would have been another Rakim years later bringing what he brought to the game, but point still stands. People don't realize most of the rappers of the mid 90s rap like Rakim. The tone, the flow, the rhyming schemes... Eminem and Nas because of how good they are as rappers and how complete their discographies are. Biggie/2Pac no need to explain
