I have Tupac and M&M ahead of him, but still think he was good.

What Shockem said. No Too Short, eazy, lynch mob?

Dre, snoop, big, all unoriginal. So many cover tracks.

Biggie is/was/will be the GOAT.

Lots of great ones on this thread (glad to see Rakim mentioned, even if late), but there can be no legitimate debate about the greatest of the greatest.

I'm surprised Eminem gets so much love on this board.

I skimmed this thread and didn't see Chuck D mentioned anywhere. Ergo, this thread sucks and has no credibility. Ninja, I kept waiting for him to pop up on your list(s). For someone as versed in rap/hip hop as you, that's a pretty egregious oversight.

Embarrassing oversight. Chuck D is a top ten rapper ever. His voice is arguably one of the five best and his delivery is bested only by Ice Cube's. His vocal style was the equivalent of pressing a detonation button.

I brought up Chuck D/Public Enemy last year... Head Ninja owned his mistake.

Biggie died on my birthday. I still remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first heard of his death.

I was really hoping to see more of a debate on why you think (insert here) is the greatest. As a lyricist? As a master of beats? The message? Arguments could be made for and against a lot of people mentioned here...

Lyrics, flow, persona, delivery, punchlines....BIG had it all. He is the GOAT.

Followed closely by 3000. Damn you Ericka Badu!

I grew up on the East Coast for a good portion of my life (Philly). Accordingly, I was pro-East Coast hip-hop (Biggie, Nas, etc.). When the beef with the East-West coast became what it was back in the 90s, I hated anything west coast, including one of the most outspoken artists, Tupac.

It took me a while to be able to start listening to Tupac's music again (mainly from growing up and being less of a teenage piss ant and learning to respect all music).

Needless to say, based off of my experience, Tupac has had the largest impact on my life with respect to music. I acknowledged him at first before he moved to the West coast. Then, I hated him and his music. Finally, I started to really listen to his music and gained a true respect for most of his tracks.

Im surprised about all the love for Eminem too.

You cannot argue about his influence on the culture but I haven't been able to listen to any of his albums since High School. I just can't relate to his music.

Anyone check out the 64-rapper bracket on ESPN.com? Scott Van Pelt and Ryan Rusillo came up with it on their show and tried to get a good group. They've already admitted they missed a few guys, but it's intriguing nonetheless.
