Not a god damned thing by Kanye West should be on any hip-hop GOAT list. Kanye is a pop star masquerading as "hard." Drake is better than Kanye just for owning the fact that he's just about the money. Frankly Eminem should get 10x the level of respect Kanye deserves, and neither is even close to Nas, him being in the league of Jay-Z, Tupac, Biggie, and all the other 80's/90's legends, who themselves sometimes have tiers of their own (Pac, Biggie, etc.).
You should not post about things you know nothing about. Sorry to be harsh but this is just completely false.
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree, I'd put Graduation and MBDTF up there pretty high. Dude is a trash human, but I cant deny the man is absolutely a top 15-top 10 rapper, or I guess better described as one of the best at being able to produce fully fleshed out, end-to-end albums.
.... this is a horrendous take. It's so bad on so many levels I don't even want to specifically address each horrible point.
I never got why everyone is such a fan of Kanye's rapping in particular. I guess it's because in more recent times he's still had a more regular flow and delivery compared to more modern "mumble" type rappers, though are still a lot of good modern ones (Kendrick, Cole, etc.).
However, he's a very gifted producer and I like his music for the whole musical performance, rather than single out his rapping as being particularly good, which it's par at best. I think a lot of people confuse the fact that just because they like someone does not make them a good rapper, specifically wordplay or whatever. I still like him though, catchy as shit music.
lol wut have you listened to Street Lights before?
Did not every rapper past 2010 model their game after kanye?
Agreed on Ultralight Beam, that's the only one on that list I've heard and it's top-notch.
I'll throw in two lowkey songs that I doubt many have heard but make my all-time list. They're more musical than the typical rap song, but they're so unique I had to include em.
Heaven Only Knows - Towkio ft. Chance
Tap Dance - Chance
This is a very very good list, I am genuinely impressed. Would get rid of Azealia banks, add a few other tracks (I Got a Story to Tell by Biggie comes to mind, One Day by UGK, Mind Playin' Tricks by Geto Boys, Spottieottiedopaliscious by Outkast, D'Evils by Jay Z, '93 til Infinity by Souls of Mischief), and replace both Kanye tracks with "Crack Music" by Kanye.
Ah man, I completely slept on adding Biggie. Good call.
The Best and the Baddest: Eric B. & Rakim - Paid in Full
Honorable Mention: Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force - Planet Rock
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-elzq4IaOk
+1 for Eric B. & Rakim
My soundtrack if I'm ever pulling off a heist
+1 for Afrika Bambaataa. I just posted about that above. Good to see it's known.
+1 for Monster by Kanye, although Nicki really stole that song
Yeah, without a doubt. Nicki's career since has been uninspiring. She went from being the next Nas to being the next Britney Spears...
She was never going to be the next MC Lyte not to even speak of the next Nas. lol.
Decatur Psalm, West Savannah, Mr. Scarface, Dead Presidents, SpottieOttie Dopalicious, or Element/DNA (Kendrick, just to throw something new in), It was a Good Day.. so many good ones, but these jump out at me.
"Juicy" by The Notorious B.I.G.
Not that I think these guys are greatest of all time, but does anyone here know Army of the Pharaohs / Jedi Mind Tricks? Been listening to that quite a bit recently. Underground stuff with an old-school style and a few modern elements mixed in. This what put me on:
Why are you all like 45 years old
underrated comment. SB'ed
JUICY by BIG. NOW WE DRINK CHAMPAGNE WHEN WE THIRSTAYYY.
Unbelievable - Notorious BIG
or Gimme the Loot - Notorious BIG

ok, I'm tired already, I could go on forever. Might add more later.
+1 for this
You don't have a single song off the Get Rich or Die Tryin' album, or any songs from Jadakiss? Are you joking?
No Jadakiss.. the fuck? He was better as part of The Lox.
edit: added Patiently Waiting
No Black Star / Mos Def?
Black Star/ Mos Def was mentioned above. I am sticking to what was not.
If you understand the time it was published in:
Straight Outta Compton
Game changing on many, many levels. If you are in your twenties, thirties, or younger, you may not understand. It changed everything.
eh. Geto Boys were saying the same shit at the same time and didn't get the attention/ recognition they deserve.
Houston resident detected
MC Eiht - All for the Money
betrayed by lil xan is definitely up there
also that song RONDO by that guy 6ix9ine
Protect ya neck by Wu Tang Clan. Nothing better than hearing everyone go in on their own verse. The song bumps and the Wu redefined rap.
Other top songs IMO include: CREAM-Wu Tang Juice - Eric B and Rakim Dear Mama/Ambitionz az a Ridah (spelling?) - 2pac Streiht Up Menace - MC Eiht The entire Str8 Outta Compton album - NWA
Def some songs im forgetting (likely several by BIG, Geto Boys, Cube) but these are just a few that come to mind. Kendrick has been consistently putting out great stuff too and deserves a mention.
But my favorite song is easily Who I Am (Whats my Name) by Snoop. I love this song and will always consider it an all time great. A lot of people don't like that album and think Snoop is overrated, but I will not hear it. I'm dug in, and I'll never change
So many great tunes already mentioned! Don’t know about GOAT rap tune of all time, but I know what I like, even if a big part of my heart belongs to metal, I am a Boogie Down girl and love my hip-hop and rap…
As for “is there any that you’ve patterned your life after?”… there’s a few lines from HoP’s “Fed Up” that’s always spoken to me…
"And mine'll still be the intellect that plays ya Cause when the mike check I'm high tech skills are apparent You can play the child, kid, I'll play the parent Cause I'm a be responsible for your schoolin’ But I won't change your diapers or do your car poolin’ "
These Wu-Tang mentions reminded me of...
Love this sketch!
Top 5 for me are:
You See Me - Childish Gambino
On Fire - Eminem
Dollaz & Sense - DJ Quik
Chin Check - NWA Ft. Snoop Dogg
No Vaseline - Ice Cube (Just because it's a pretty good diss track)
from the ones I've heard:
these walls/sing about me.../sherane aka... by kendrick lamar
stan/marshall mathers by eminem
changes/I aint mad at cha/life goes on by tupac
next episode/still dre by dr dre
gorgeous/devil in a new dress by kanye
victory by diddy, biggie, busta rhymes
Doja Cat - Mooo!

I'm not really going to comment on what the greatest rap song of all time is because it's kind of a ridiculous question. It completely depends on what my mood and mindset is on a particular day/month/year. In fact some days my mind is in a place where I'd rather listen to metal or classic rock or not terrible country or even cheesy 80s music. And this is the golden age of listening to music. Practically all music is at our fingertips instantly. We are extremely lucky in that regard.
I will instead give a completely random thought on my favorite musical group. When I was a sophomore in college I discovered the album ATLiens. I was in a dark place that year and practically listened to that album through every single day. I was a rap fan in early high school but then got into playing guitar and so mostly stopped listening to it. But when I randomly started listening to ATLiens I basically couldn't believe the level of rapping and production. I had only vague knowledge of OutKast in my youth. Some memories from elementary school of the music video for Ms. Jackson and of course I remember the Hey Ya craze from high school but that's about it. But ATLiens really blew me away. I was convinced this was the pinnacle of rap. But then later on in college I began a similar fixation on Aquemini. And soon after college I really got into Southernplayalisticcadillacfunkymusik. But it was only very recently that I began TRULY realizing the pure fucking genius of Stankonia. Now I take a step back and realize that if you listen to each of these albums in order it really boggles the mind how Andre 3000 somehow got better at rapping over. That somehow he went from the seemingly perfect rapper to an even better rapper. I just don't know how he kept doing it. So now I think it makes complete sense that he essentially stopped rapping (on full albums) after Stankonia. I simply CANNOT think of how he could've improved more after that album. It's just completely flawless rapping from start to finish. And that's my random thought for this thread.
Bankers and consultants Generally neither add much value. I suppose ibankers could add some value, if they bring unique perspective or help you get your deal done. But those are often exceptions these days. Consultants - no way.
My top 3, not in order:
"But uhh, a thug changes, and love changes and best friends become strangers, word up"
"Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die Horoscopes often lie, and sometimes "y" Nothin' is for sure, nothin' is for certain, nothin' lasts forever But until they close the curtain (y'all know), it's him and I: Aquemini"
"There's numerous ways you can choose to earn funds"
Just to add to the mess.
Int'l Players Anthem - UGK ft. Outkast Foe tha Love of $ - Bone Thugs Sacrilegious - Schoolboy Q
Fall - Eminem
On a side note, RIP Mac Miller
Nas - "I Can"
Anything Epic Rap Battles takes the cake
Best Rap Song Ever: Swagger Wagon (Originally Posted: 05/21/2010)
Can't wait to hear this in the clubs this summer.
I'd argue that this is the best rap song ever:

Swagger Wagon just made me sad.
Are you rocking a mini van Edmundo?
I hope your wife looks like that mom in the video because she has some great jugs and can definitely get it, lol.

I deed it...
I don't just talk the talk, I walk the walk. I bought a 2004 Kia Sedona on eBay for $5,600 - still under warranty. It got some cosmetic damage in transit to France and the insurance paid off $2,800. So I'm into this whip for a total of $2,800 and I cruise around the French countryside like I'm in the Griswold family truckster.
Seriously, in a town like Paris I'm lucky if I drive once a month. Why would I drop a bunch of dough on a vehicle I never use?
