Whos the #1 Hip Hop artist of all time???

[813Cholo]

In your opinion whos the best

I have to say Outkast

[thereturnofdark]

Before this turns into a "I only listen to underground hip hop because hip hop is dead" thread. If we go on overall popularity, album sales and longevity in the rap industry then it would be a close call between LL Cool J and Jay-Z. Both artist have been in the game 15+ years and have stayed at the top of the charts with hits and both are still just as popular now as they were a decade ago.

I think Outkast had some of the most unique and off the wall sounds. Since 'hip hop' is mostly junk, I feel they should get the gold medal for at least being original in how they went about it.

Real hip hop is golden, rap sucks.

Not really. They both kinda suck. Everything is generic nowadays. Its all been done. Its a rarity that an artist actually comes out with something interesting wth a hint of originality to it. In the case of rap and hip hop, where their fans are a bunch of morons who are happy as long as they can jump around like monkeys, its worse than many of the other genres. A lot of these 'artists' doing rap and hip hop have no talent at all; all they have is MTV whoring them around and commanding their loyal idiots - err - fans, to love them.

That's true I guess, but so many 'hip hop' artists now might be considered other genre by the type of beat.. still new shit coming out. You just need to quit relying on 98.7
