Took me quite some time to check all these artists out since I work and barely have the time to go to these forums nowadays.

These suggestions took me to a different level on rap-music.

My conclusion:

Nas, Tupac, Biggie in no particular order are by far, the best rappers in the game to have ever existed in the history of humanity, they have claimed their rights to their throne. Personally, if I would rank them, it would be :

Nas > Tupac > Biggie

(tupac fans, pls dun rape me, it's just my opinion, also keep in mind that I love tupac, why else would he be in that top 3?)

Honorable mention of this generation goes to

Joey BadA$$, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar

Drake fans gonna be mad

Yes, I stand corrected. Eminem can not even be placed on this list. Why you ask? Simple. He lacks heart. These artists mentioned above have powerful lyricism, rhythmic rhyming, wordplay, I mean sure he raps very fast and everything sounds so powerful when he shouts them lyrics, but yo, he lost his touch way back. He's still good tho, I consider him one of the best, but not one of the best of all time.

Best album by far is Illmatic.
