Complex: The 10 best rappers from 2000-2009

[MegaTronBomb!]

You know they put Andre 3000 at #10 just to fukk with everybody...cause of how polarizing he is...and it wouldn't be a Complex list without fukkery.

You might want to take another listen to Carter II and III.

I could listen to Carter III straight through. Mainstream to streets agree on that.

I like c2 & c3, they are amongst my most played albums of all time but objectively, c2 and c3 aren't great, they are just good album and that's where it stops.

 

[atlbound]

worst decade of hip hop, makes sense that nas is in the top 10

I dont know what you consider a great album, but being the most played alums of all time would constitute greatness, oh and the fact that carter III went platinum in the mp3 era would too. *cough*

a great album is an album you can play straight through, and listen to multiple times. you know how many artists strive for that sort of perfection? ALL OF THEM. only 1% can achieve that.

TMMLP and TES are amongst the very best hip hop albums of all time.

Stillmatic & Untitled >>>> both of those albums and Nas released quality material and a classic mixtape throughout the decade.

 

[Real]

Should've been Wayne then Jay z.

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

lets be real, none of them nikkas have an album like Stillmatic-Godson-The Lost Tapes- Life is Good - Distant Relatives.

Carter 3? The Massarcre? Blueprint 3? Encore? really?

 

[BrothaZay]

wayne should be number 1..

Exactly. If this list is purely quality, Nas got this in a landslide (though LIG and Distant Relatives came out after '09).

He does have a point tho.

Waynes run in the 2000's>>>>

you COULD make a Case for Jay, cause it's the safe pick....but you can't really argue against Wayne being the best rapper of the 2000's.

there are people out there, who still have no clue that people rap after wayne on beat without bass.

Wayne kinda missing out on the first half of the decade though. Jay held you down 10 summers

Plus fukk lil wayne

yup

Weezy should be NO. 1

C1 dropped in 2004 and No Ceilings in 2009

at everything in between those 5 years

and now...every rapper under 26 is Weezy inspired...no question about it

 

[MoneyBags]

lmao, Cam ahead of Nas? AHHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAH
