Good thread I use to hate meek voice till I realize he actually wasn't yelling it's his energy .


Anyway joe burden voice is awful to me I can't get through any of his music .

Lil boosie voice I got use to but it took a long time !!!


Don q does have a nice rap voice .

Lil Kim has a nice rap voice as well love her vocal inflections especially when she gets into her lower registry .

Think Ross might be my fav :patrice:

Ex. of good voices. IMO.

Then you got guys, who IMO, doesnt necessarily have outstanding voices. But still great vocal delivery.

Chinx had a great voice, epitomized the cool fresh NYC cat

Juelz and Bleek are other examples of being able to capture the same thing

Love Big L, he is a legend....top 20 but his voice was bad

He sounded like someone's 14 yr old brother who snuck into tha studio

Voice hi pitched with that NY nasal tone...he sounded like a lil kid.

I love his material in spite of his voice tho

MC Ren had a great voice, early Cube, Snoop, Scarface, Big, Meth, Juvenile, Trick Daddy, Common, Chuck D when he wasnt too bombastic

Clarity, good bass tone are key.

Some hi pitches can work tho

I learned there ain't no such thing as a good or bad voice in hiphop.

It's a preference

U either like the voice or you don't

Some people love B Real from Cypress Hill's voice some people hate it

I agree.

Like for instance, RBX got 1 of the best voices in Hip Hop to me, but I could also see someone saying, "Naw, bruh".

Some of my other favorite voices in Hip Hop: Fatlip, Method Man, Biggie, Warcloud (before he started just rambling on records), and a few others I'm forgetting.

What are some examples of or good and bad voices to y'all?

I used to think Meek, Freeway, and Predi had bad voices til I got used to them..

I can't think of any great voices...I guess Biggie's is the most iconic one

Him and old dude from Empire sound alot alike...

Freddie Gibbs' voice sucks. Or maybe it's his cadence that sucks. I agree that his voice is more unique than most of these new nikkas but his shyt lacks poetry.

Don Q got a great voice to me.

And my OP is supposed to say *Peedi not Predi

can you please post one example? the best example? Thanks breh

Ghost Face too, as much as I love his raps. His voice is thin and whiney sometimes. He that passioante and emotional in raps.

I also hated Gucci Mane's rap voice and used to find it annoying.


How is he a culture Thief?



Ol' school Mase is easily one of the smoothest voices in rap, pause. Fab modeled his style after his imo.
Good Voice: A$AP Rocky, Drake, N.O.R.E., Nas, prime Lil Wayne, Lloyd Banks circa '04, AZ, Prodigy '95-'00, Young Chris, Dave East, Don Q, Snoop, B.I.G., Rick Ross, Eazy-E, Q-Tip, Dr. Dre, Fabolous, Memphis Bleek, Styles P, Consequence, Mase, Big L, French Montana, T.I. Method Man, Chinx Drugz

Bad Voice: Big Sean, Chance The Rapper, Young Thug, Smoke DZA, Wale, Amil, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, Gucci Mane, Danny Brown, Lil Boosie
Why has drake got a good voice and big Sean got a bad voice these dudes sound the same?
