We all like to name such and such as top this and top that but can you actually name a top 25 rapper list? If you can do it off the top of your head, you havnt listened to enough rap music imo. I think you'd really have to sit and have a few hours of listening to rap music to decipher it otherwise you'd be selling yourself short....especially if you're a 90s/00s baby.....With that said, I gave it a shot...


Not in order outside of the top 5...



Nas
Pac
Jay
Em
3000
Scarface
Big Boi
Ghostface
Ice Cube
Rakim
Masta Ace
Busta Rhymes
Biggie
Royce
Black Thought
TI
