My top 10:
10. Future - I put future on this list because this dude is clearly only good at making hooks using autotune, he can't rap or sing, even if you judge him based on hookmaking both Kid Cudi and Drake are far superior in that category. I respect his hustle but people put him up on too high a pedestal for having achieved so little.
9. Ja Rule - Despite his success, Ja was never really that nice. I will give him Pain and Love, but in a lot of ways, Irv Gotti was the puppeteer of his success. Ja isn't wack wack but he was average.
8. Kurupt - Kurupt was never the rapper people made him out to be. People put him on a level that he was never able to attain. Put it like this give me a classic Kurupt song or a classic verse. Despite that people think he is an all time West Coast great, which he just isn't, the body of work isn't there. Furthermore his best album was one that no one mentions at his best.
7. Max B - I agree. Max B is a 50 cent clone, and oddly enough dude's existence further shows how 50 Cent is underrated as a pure rapper
6. Lil B - It's weird, Lil B has potential but it's crazy how many people throw shade at Odd Future, despite them growing as artists collectively yet praise Lil B for being anything but just random
5. Styles P - Dude is a glorified mixtape rapper. Jada and Sheek proved they can craft solo albums. Styles is the weak link in D-block though he seems to get the most props at times.
4. Dipset - I like Cam'ron as a rapper but it's crazy how much of a movement dipset became with some hot beats and purile, childish rhymes.
3. NORE - Dude makes a hot club song but Capone made CNN from a rhymes standpoint. NORE does not have a classic album yet some would have him in the top 10.
2. The Lost Boyz - I don't think one of their albums is a classic. They dropped hot songs back in the mod-90's but they were relics of the era.
1. LL Cool J - As amazing as this guy's career was I don't think he is a top 5 rapper, and he would not be in my top 10, don't get me wrong, his run from 1983-1990 was legendary but he never really reached that peak lyrically outside a song or two, and while he is a legend, I would not put him as high as some do. He is top 15 in my book no better.
10. Future - I put future on this list because this dude is clearly only good at making hooks using autotune, he can't rap or sing, even if you judge him based on hookmaking both Kid Cudi and Drake are far superior in that category.

but forreal tho, most of their stuff is blah.
he has legit jams under his belt, so hes slightly better off than Kendrick.
@ niqqas listing niqqas that are actually talented and setting the bar.
....beats are saving him... he is pure trash

...self explanatory
...good hook here and there but he really is awful....how he is getting over as a drowning robot is
