Who is the greatest rapper from Philly? : Uzi,Meek,Beans,Will,Gillie?

[Duke Dixon]

I know he a cac but OT The Real is the real deal Holyfield

This is the best I ever heard him spit over the Victory beat. Rewind it a little RJ Payne does good on his verse before too.

 

[Money Be Green]

 

[Soylent Greenz]

I would say beans and thought are the best lyrically.
I never found wtf the appeal was with meek,his bars are average at best and yelling nonsense at they worst.
And I have never even heard a fukking Uzi song and hopefully never will.

 

[Ty-Fife]

Tariq cleaning everybody from Philly up

 

[kevin arnold]

Meek

Off topic…just saw this dude from Philly on twitter

RIP

 

[Sad Bunny]

Beans but I like Uzi a lot too. We’ll i used to. He fell off very quickly.

 

[BK The Great]

Beanie & Youbg Chris then Meek. Gillie could’ve if he kept rapping. I was a fan of Cyssero. And they now have guys like Ohdatsrida & Kur.

 

[BlackMajik]

Prime Kurupt

 

[King Poetic]

Beanz

 

[Kliq_Souf]

Sigel
Meek
Thought
Eve
from a mainstream standpoint

Dutch, Spade and MF started that early 2000's street spit wave which evolved into the DVD era - Reed, NH, Vodka, Ness, Hollowman, Haddy, etc
so they have to be mentioned at least

 

[Guvnor]

Ar Ab and Dark Lo got left off this how?

I'll vote for Uzi though, he sold the most.


Just playing, Beans.

 

[BK The Great]

Forgot to add Black Thought

 

[Shahcronz]

for me.... Beans, Thought, Liva.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Black thought is one of the best lyricist of all time literally. The Roots is one of the best groups of all time.

Thought is better than Hov lyrically (personal opinion as a Brooklyn nıgga) so I dunno how nıggas even entertaining the rest of the list.

If we talking from Philly specifically:

1. Black thought
2. Kurupt
3. Beans
4. Eve/Will Smith 4a.,4b.
5. Freeway

Black Thought and it's not even close.

Beans, Kurupt, Freeway are all great choices too.
