Anytime you're throwing out a superlative, it helps to have comparative measures. Ready to Die came out in 1994 and was an instant classic. Lauded critically and went multi-platinum. To me, to be the best rapper ever, you have to have tasted some form of commercial success and only a few rappers have the actual chart numbers to match their skill level.

What do you mean by "the production is whack"?

It's got to be the best rags to riches rap ever, though. "We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us. No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us. Birthdays was the worst days; now we sip champagne when we thirsty."

I listened to about three quarters of the music on this thread today so I could better appreciate the artists. What I figured out is that the Beastie Boys had more talent than any of these jokers.
