Who is your favorite rapper?
I have been on a Kevin Gates tear in 2024.
Middle school was all Eminem High school Ace Hood, Meek Mill, Rick Ross, French Montana College was Kevin Gates, Dolph, Migos
Future been on repeat since I was a young toddler. Dirty Sprite runs through my veins and I will fight anyone who says Purple Reign is not a Top 5 Mixtape all time
Project Pat
In High School, when someone got new subs in their car, this was the test song to see how loud it bumps:
Pat is the goat. Feel like he doesn’t get enough credit for how much he’s been sampled
NOW EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER I BEEN POPPIN MY COLLAR
Veeze by a longshot
It has to be Nas for me. Although my favorite rap album of all time is Liquid Swords, Nas' discography from 1994 to now is top tier and includes many many classics with a ton of variety of beats and flows throughout the years. It's crazy how its pretty hard to nail down with period is actually his peak, especially after this latest KD and Magic 1-3 run.
Big L
People in here the type to think rap isn’t music for sure
its not
You know his a rap artist right?
.
Love all old NY rappers. Jay Z, Nas, Biggie, Big Punisher, Cam, Freeway. There’s the hustler culture I just love. Yes I know I sit in an air conditioned office all day.
When I’m feeling degenerate (often), Atlanta takes over. Thug, Gucci, Lil Baby, Carti
Lil baby and all the other degenerates
Lil baby in 2024 lol
Carti and YB
Young Buck?
guessing he's talking about Youngboy
Kanye, but the answer I usually tell people when they ask is Asap Rocky
I keep an eye on what's trending but I'm a sucker for old school gangsta rap
C.R.E.A.M.
I saw Wu Tang at the Observatory in OC California. Good times.
Lil Nas X
2pac
Key Glock kinda ripping rn
Can't lie, some Key Glock smacks. Yellow Tape is one of my favorite modern-day hip-hop records, and was a big fan of PRE5L as well. It's a shame that I was only just starting to get into Dolph when he was killed, I've been liking his stuff too.
I’ve never been a playlist guy, so my Spotify is just 4,000 songs I’ve liked. I have a pretty good idea where songs are and it’s interesting to see that “hey this group of songs is what I listened to junior year college”.
Dolph and Glock and Moneybagg Yo have a string of like 50 songs, and yes, I was a menace to society at that time lol. Gonna bump these songs while I model today
I grew up in Queens, first started listening to hip-hop in the early 2000s. From there alone, I grew to love 50, Big Pun, Method, Busta, Nas, and of course... Jay Z. From a musical perspective alone, still think that my 'all-time' hip-hop artists are Lil Wayne and Kanye. Tha Carter III had such a profound impact on me during high school, and I'm instantly transported back when I hear a track come on. Good times.
I'm pretty evenly split towards alternative and hip-hop, so naturally today I'm more a fan of 'alternative-ish' rappers if that's a thing. Personal current favorites are Joey Badass, Jay Critch, Flatbush Zombies / The Underachievers, Aaron May, Kota, and that crowd. Key Glock and BigXThaPlug are also some southern rappers that I think are awesome... Memphis and Dallas I believe.
Lots of good music out, even from today's standard. Just gotta keep playing Spotify radios until you find 'em.
21 Savage
Jay Z is my favourite
I love the dough, imaginary players, ride or die, poppin tags and feelin it are my favourite Jay Z songs
Eminem
His new music is dope too, check out
The Marshall Mathers LP2 Expanded Edition from about a month ago:

I used to listen to rap a lot more during high-school - from old-school hip-hop to niche (think Joey Badass, Isaiah Rashad, or even Swedish rappers). College was all about hard techno, gabber and other types of electronic music but now whenever I bump raps I usually go for Kanye, Lil Wayne and Memphis stuff.
Some of my favorites since I was younger include Eminem, Lil Wayne, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, T.I., Drake, Odd Future, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar
Only answer should be Lil Baby.
Lil Baby, Moneybagg Yo, and Finnese2Tymes
Only answer should be Lil Baby.
Only answer should be Lil Baby.
Post your favorite song.
Some really great music comes from
Eminem
Nas
Lil Wayne
Drake
Kendrick
Jay-Z
Royce Da 5 9
Many others as well
How is Kanye not listed here by anyone? Forget about him as a person for a second, dude is the absolute goat. He touches realms that other hip hop musicians don’t know even exist. Has arguably 4 Top 15 albums in MBDTF (arguably #1 but would hear a case for Illmatic, SSLP, Chronic, Reasonable Doubt or Black) and the College Series. Which is even more impressive when you consider that at almost half of his top ten songs in his catalogue aren’t even on those albums. He’s not the best MC, but he’s high enough that his MC skills + unprecedented producing abilities put him in a total league of his own.
Honorable Mention: Jay, Nas, Em, BIG, L, Pac, Wayne, Andre, Chuck, Immortal, Kendrick, Pun, 90s Dre, and Eazy
Totally depends on the mood, but here are some:
Just generally most talented that I myself enjoy: Lil Wayne, Kanye, Eminem
What gets me the most hyped / car music: Future (I would almost put Future in category 1 but I think he's a half step below those guys talent wise), old Gucci Mane, old Jeezy
The one that everyone forgets and one of my all time favorites: Mac Miller (Faces mixtape is top all time)
Others that tend to make my playlists pretty often: Moneybagg Yo, Lil Baby, Drake, Thug
Strip Club: Young Dolph
Also, can never forget 50 cent
