Who’s the best rapper alive?
June 26th, 2007 · Filed under Sounds by bossladyJay-Z
We’ve been having very heated discussions here in the DrJays.com office over the best rapper alive.
Our college-aged interns are convinced it’s Lil Wayne, whereas those of us in our twenties say that’s blasphemy and Jay-Z is the man.
We want you guys to join in on the debate and let us know who you think it is?

T.I. is the best rapper alive.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:03 pm
Lil Wayne if the best.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:06 pm
Game is the best rapper in the world. & so is eminem
June 26th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
am feelin Lloyd banks and also the game
June 26th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
I know Jay-z and Nas are the best rappers alive ,and I’m a young dude.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
Yall str8 silly. Gucci Mane on top of the game right now **** what you heard. And my man Fabo about to take over this **** real soon 2.

I’m 21, I’ve been listenin to Jigga since he had the fast flow in that video with the hawaiian lookin shirt. On the flipside i’ve been a weezy fan since him and BG were a group (the B.G.’s) So with that being said, Jigga’s first 5 solo albums (since weezy hasn’t released his sixth) I would say Jay’s got him. Vol. 1-3 were classics, Tha Block is Hot, Lights Out were street bangers but Weezy wasnt ready to carry the label on his back when everyone left (500 Degreez??) But Jay came in the game already mature, Weezy grew up listenin to Jay just like the rest of us. Weezy has just hit his prime during the sqad tapes and The Carter I and II. To say Jay is the best rapper alive is arguable, as a weezy fan i am biased. But i will say weezy is well on his way to being remembered well beyond Jay-Z. Weezy is to the south what Biggie was/is to the East. Jay is to the East what Master P was/is to the South.

2Pac! may be dead but he sure has released a lot of albums after that Vegas night keeping it alive. E40, Andre Nickatina (Dre Dog), B-Legit, all good. If you ask me Lil Jon, Ying Yang Twins, Lil Wayne and all those south side rappers are part of hip hops fall. Soon as the song Get Low came out, sounds went all down hill!
June 26th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
Don’t forget eminem and Too Short too. Too Short been kicking albums off since the 80’s and is still releasing. Plus how many heads has he rapped with on others albums.

Jay - Z is the best rapper ever hes done what none other has including pac and biggie…not saying hes better but hes been the man for longer than any other rapper has in there careers…imma weezy fan to the fullest but i no alot of lines and quotes of weezy saying jay is better…”the hottest carter next to shawn, i give my highest respects to homey, whats good HOV baby holla at ur homey”…oh yeah and dont forget “the best rapper alive since the best rapper retired” enough said.
June 26th, 2007 at 8:58 pm
Nas is the best rapper alive but he’s lazy as hell so no one even thinks about him, becuz u rarely see him. but he does has the best music catalogue out of any rapper alive and dead jus off his unreleased stuff alone, Nas is the best alive even though his last album was subpar but not as bad as kingdome come.
truff
June 26th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
T.I easily the best alive… he has sum pretty amazing flow… kills people wit his disses n hes jus basically hella dope ez the best rapper alive…
June 27th, 2007 at 12:53 am

June 27th, 2007 at 12:56 am
TI is KING Of Da South. Snoop is King of da West. NaS is King of NY. Twista is King of da Midwest.
Take note: The new era of Kings contain Plies, Maino, Flo Rida, Bump J, Serius Jones & Ca$his.
If y’all really, really, REALLY know HIP HOP u can’t deny this truth. Real spit.
June 27th, 2007 at 12:58 am

June 27th, 2007 at 1:45 am

June 27th, 2007 at 11:34 am
im feelin its lloyd banks.. mix tape king, lyrical genious
June 27th, 2007 at 11:45 am
i think there´s no best rapper alive,because every rapper have own style,but one of the best is for example NAS,Jigga or The Game too…
June 27th, 2007 at 11:55 am
the best rapper with out the elders such as krs rakim and kain has got to be from the underground yes it is a amazing thing that jay-z dose not put his down on paper but pound for pound word smiths would have to be and under ground cat the list is endless but the first few that think of is vinni paz of the jmt,heltahskeltah of the boot camp,mr.lif,last emp,c rayz walz,tame one even most of canibus stuff is sick i miss the days of layen in front of a boom box hitten stop-rewind-play till each line was understood and thats just a few iv named there is and army of more underground cats that are just verble shoguns but they get no credit cause they dont bounce with it nas was half on when he said hiphop was dead but if thats the case it will rise agen from the underground and when that day comes the radio will never sound the same
June 27th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
i think Wayne is the best rapper alive….but yall sleep on Bump J that boy reppin Chi-town 2 da full (Chi-town L-TOWN ALL DAY)
June 27th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
My vote would be for Mr. Scarface or KRS-One. How many rappers want to collaborate with those guys? Just about everyone.
June 27th, 2007 at 12:19 pm
I think T.I. is the BEST rapper alive!!!!!!!! Point-Blank, Period. Dude has some deep lyrics and he has a swag’a that many rappers these days are trying to immulate but he possesses it naturally!!!!!!!!!! Hand’s Down T.I. it #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 27th, 2007 at 1:02 pm
lil wayne is the greatest rapper alive ladies and gentalmen i mean yall need 2 stop hatin on that dude and he should have won hip hop artist of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lil wayne #1
June 27th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
I Would have to go with VINNIE PAZ (JEDI MIND TRICKS) Check him out!
June 27th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Nobody can top TUPAC
June 28th, 2007 at 8:05 am
To ALL THE YOUNG MASSES!!!
JIGGA MAN IS THE BOSS, CHAIRMAN, REIGNING CEO. LIL WAYNE STUDIED HIS FLOW and HE IS NICE BUT JIGGA MAN, ICEBERG SLIM, HOV HOLDS THE CROWN..
EMBRACE IT.
June 28th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
lil wayne is gay he still kisses his daddy and jayz s ass should be still appy hes alive i would put BANKS 50 AND BUCK BUCK THE WOULD AND **** U HATERS
June 28th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
Real talk, the younger generation needs to pay attention to wat went before them. Weezy is not half the **** he claims to be, didnt u see how dat **** acted on the stage he is a boy wit a cold flow. But on some real **** u dont give a man props, say he is the best alive then turn around couple years later to say naw im da best. Jigga lived through his time as da best and still is. Weezy is straight, crazy flow, but he learned from the best.
July 3rd, 2007 at 12:45 pm
I JUST CROWNED MYSELF THA DAMN KING!!!!!! Nah, forreal. Its a touchy subject, I personally bow down to Notorious BIG, Big Pun, and Tupac. Though many criticize my opinion because they weren’t long lived in the game. Jay Z has been in the game for a minute but I feel Jay Z can be KING sometimes and then he does the usual and puts out a weak as track here and there. I have yet to hear a track that BIGGIE falls off..
July 3rd, 2007 at 3:53 pm
no lil boosie is da best so all yall bow down and take a seat cuz baton rouge cummin duces!!!
July 5th, 2007 at 7:32 pm
B****, Lil Wayne is tha best rapper in tha present, past and tha F***** future, if u think other wise, come see me at 2342 F U Drive, in New Orleans, Louisana. Yall need 2 listen 2 his music cause he kill it on every track. He has tha best punch lines in tha game. Who da F*** is Jay-Z. Who da F*** is Lil Boosie. F*** all dem legends 2, cause they wack. Yall know who um talkin bout(2pac, Biggie, Kool Mo Dee, KRS-1,LL Cool J, everybody!!! Holla at me trick ***s
July 5th, 2007 at 9:37 pm
[...] return has only poured more fuel on the fire (as seen here and here and damn near every other hip hop [...]
July 6th, 2007 at 2:09 am
TOO many mutha****as is sleepin on lil wayne yea jay z is great but he is off the throne and lil wayne is on it
July 7th, 2007 at 12:31 am
lil wayne is the best rapper alive but jay-z is sick to they both should man up and make hit records together
July 11th, 2007 at 11:41 am
I gotta agree with ice lord the new era is serious
July 11th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
tip and lil wayne r da best rappers alive. THEY takin ova.
July 13th, 2007 at 2:15 pm
Cassidy, Serius jones, Papoose, Loaded Lux are the best rappers
July 14th, 2007 at 3:02 am
Jay Z took the crown wit Blueprint and aint gave it back since. All these young rappers wit flow(Wayne,T.I.,Fabolous,Anybody else who mainstream)got it from Jay. Jay is “grown-man BI” and he changed the whole sound of music from Vol.1 on down.
July 14th, 2007 at 3:05 am
Wayne just punhline heavy without the real talk that all the greats got. I guess if u aint lived that life though then ….”couldn’t talk about it if u anit live it”
July 16th, 2007 at 10:30 am
papoose is the best rapper alive.
July 21st, 2007 at 6:22 am
papoose by far the best rapper.
alphabetical slaughter.
just wait for him to get big
July 24th, 2007 at 6:26 am
papoose is the worst rapper alive no one wacker hands down,only slow people like him they think hes smart
July 29th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
Weezy earned it officially with Carter, then he just capitalized. maybe its the dreads…..
August 17th, 2007 at 7:02 am
lil wayne iz
im sorry, but did that n***a BJ say “Gucci Mane”? hahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahaha i laugh at you n***a that was the dumbest thing i ever heard
September 3rd, 2007 at 2:38 am
Y’all ****s are delusional. I listen to everything. Not ‘hear’, listen. Not bop my head to the beat; listen. Not check to make sure what someone is saying on a track rhymes - LISTEN. And no one out there is better than Jay-Z.
**** swag, **** money, **** location, **** everything that isn’t talent and skill. Nobody’s touchin’ S-dot.
October 4th, 2007 at 1:36 pm
I KNOW AND FEEL THAT LIL WAYNE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE KNOW THAT
January 31st, 2008 at 10:27 pm
weezy..
February 8th, 2008 at 4:49 am
As usual the west coast is neglected. Tupac is by far the greatest rapper ever. No one can even touch him. Then it’s Mac Dre and Andre Nickatina. But you’ll never hear their **** on the radio cuz they’d rather play **** ass songs by T-Pain. And unless you’re from the bay, you probly got no idea what I’m talkin bout.

Just to put it in perspective. You probably know of Too Short and E-40. 2 great rappers from the Bay. And no disrespect, but they can’t touch Da Mac or King Nicky.
February 14th, 2008 at 1:02 am
lil wayne da best he got it all an i hate jay z he weak… an lame….to me an he Old an lil wayne da best
February 17th, 2008 at 5:02 pm

March 1st, 2008 at 11:37 pm
2 PAC IS DA BEST RAPPER EVER…..BUT LIL WAYNE IS DA BEST RAPPER ALIVE….YA DIGG
March 2nd, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Jay Z is the best rapper alive point blank period
Lil Wayne sucks in my opinion.
March 7th, 2008 at 1:18 am
lil wayne really sucks. best alive, probably nas, rakim, KRS1.
best right now is either lupe fiasco or immortal technique. im sorry but i would love to see immortal technique make lil wayne **** in his pants over some **** that he cant understand
March 7th, 2008 at 4:22 am
I bet all the fools hating on lil wayne from the East Coast. Lmao New Yorkers hate Weezy! They hate anyone from the south. When talking about hip hop, they be quick to bring up Jayz or Biggie. Real ****…Biggie only gets credit because he died. If he was still around, ppl wouldn’t be on his dick as much as they are now. That’s just being honest. The best rapper alive hands down is Andree 3000. He’s the sickest fool out there man and I don’t care if he’s from MARS! Stop being region haters. lame ****s.
March 7th, 2008 at 7:19 am
i think everybody is entitle to their own opinion. from the things are judge,i think has to do with ur past - present - and the future.and not just the present bcos the present is just 24hrs.so, that means ”weezy” is more of the present and hopefully will still be there in the future(though he is very promising and gifted,its a fact).but JAY ,he is been very relevant in the past and in the present he is still strong and he still looks like his not at all tired.that means he can still be very relivant in the future.remeber this he came up by himself,saying ”i came,i saw,i conquer”.he is a living legend.like we say in my county,he is ”BABA WON”.MEANING HE IS THEIR FATHER.i love weezy no doubt he is tight.but let’s still live the crown where it is.JAY is older and can still rap well. but weezy is still young and fresh(he has a lot to still do).JAY is a legend no doubt cos he took a very post after BIG SAMLL and he did well.JJJJJJJJJAY-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ IS ”BABA WON”. TAKE IT

April 27th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
okey, everyone knows BIGGIE is the best of all time,but all those people saying lil wayne and twista and **** are so wrong, it takes more than two tight songs to be the gretest, jay-z is tight and all, but for my money, its andre nickatina, DRE DOG, KING NICKY, NICKY T, goes by many names, but you cant find one song of his that isnt tight ass ****, and dont blame him for equipto ruining his songs, if your not from the west coast or the bay and dont now dre, then you best check him out
May 7th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
i aint seen nobody put down Wu-Tang, Jurassic 5, Gangstarr. Method Man of the Wu just doggs on everybody. Those dudes are the type of people where you listen to it, sit back, take a deep breath and actually soak in and think about what they are sayin. I do give props to Weezy and jigga, i just don’t think weezy’s metaphors will take him all the way to the top. He’s got some sick flow fo sho though. Busta needs to be thrown in there. This is an argument that will never be solved though cuz there is so many different styles and comparisons to be made. They all some sick poets though
May 7th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
i do agree with immortal technique being brought up earlier. that dude comes with **** dudes wouldn’t even be able to comprehend
May 8th, 2008 at 11:40 am
jigga but t.i. is the next rapper in line

Im from st. louis and there is alot of wayne heads up here i aint go lie i use to be one but den wayne juss started to get boarin with his ****. i luv all his old musik from his old albums. But i think 2pac is the best because he was talkin about some real shyt him and biggie was. But the realist ****s alive out here is webbie boosie matterfact the whole trill fam and jeezy. Jeezy my favorite rapper because i like the way he flows and he on some real shyte even thought he say the same shyte over and over and always be talkin bout food that still my guy no matter what wayne hard tho but he juss changed alot but 2pac and biggie is the best rapper alive

July 16th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
The question is not who is your favorite rapper, its who is the best rapper. This includes style, creativity, lyrics, versatility
Jay Z is good as hell, but when it comes to all the qualities of a good rapper, i’m sorry but waynes got the most, he can remix almost any song and keep the same damn tune, he never sounds the same and you never know whats he’s gonna say next he’s an entertainer. Sure he may be a damn junkie but **** if he’s still that damn smart after all that brain damage this mutha ****a is a genius, and no just cuz u high dont just make u a good rapper **** it helps but lil wayne got a lot more then being high to help his game. This dude has his own style, if you were to read a song of lil waynes that you never heard b4 just by the lyrics you could tell it was wayne, whereas Jay-Z on the other hand you couldn’t.
now maybe im biased cuz my favorite rapper happens to be the person who I think is the best rapper, but **** lets not forget mutha ****as like Nas, nas might be kinda weak now but his old **** was on point and many others underground included that dont get the fame that they’re worth.

not to mention he has done just about every type of a song from, songs talking about love, getting head, killing ****s, etc, he can rap fast slow, freestyle, like In my opinion theres almost no competition until some one can do as much as he can

Nasty Nas, no doubt.
NOBODY could **** wit Nas
“little wayne” AINT SAYIN NOTHIN.
But out of HOV and wayne………Jay-z …no agrument bout dat.
July 17th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
wow.
& that comment about new yorkers hatin lil wayne, NOT TRUE
personally, i like lil wayne, its just that he’s not the best.
(MY OPINION)
his rhymes are mostly about puns.
I think Nas, KRS1, Lupe, Kanye, & Jay-z……okay forget Jay-Z.
the rest of them, got my vote lol
July 18th, 2008 at 1:22 am
Nas, Talib Kweli, Hell Rell, Jay, and Young Buck.
Nas: He has been a mainstay in the game and is truly one of those rappers who can talk a conversation on a song and it will still be good. He thinks outside the box and feeds a need that other mainstream rappers dare not touch.
Talib: He is a serious dude and takes you through a metaphorical roller coaster on every song.
Hell Rell: Dude can rhyme! Although he is mostly underground, his music is something I would choose over “Lollipop” any day simply because he is like a Wayne who grew up in a real project, doesn’t rap while on drugs, speaks coherently enough for me not to have to worry if he might pass out before the end of the song, and he has some SERIOUS punchlines that Lloyd Banks and alot of other freestylers can’t touch. He should have at least been nominated.
Jay-z: When he isn’t talking about how rich he is, he is someone who we as a people can relate to and he leaves us wanting to learn more about him. Basically, he deserves a big throne, and if I were him, I would have slapped Wayne across the mouth, sending him home to Baby to kiss his booboos.
Young Buck: If you only listen to mainstream, you are being fed garbage. Most people who think of Buck think of “Shorty Wanna Ride” and “Get Buck”. Yet if you buy the album, you find a completely different person who can tell a story as good as Pac could. His songs make you think and impress upon your brain feelings, even if you’re not paying attention to the song. He is truly one of the most underrated rappers and deserves to be in T.I.’s place any day. He represents an area that is only known for 3 6 fagia. He skips through their bull**** and paints a true picture of what it is. .
Last of all, you should be ashamed of yourselves for those who follow mainstream and the radio only. The radio repeats the same songs every 3 hours, so its all the same crap that the 14 year old white girls want to listen to. Dig deeper and you will find GOLD, a realm where once you discover it, you will never go back.
1 more thing on my advice to hip-hop: we need two genres of rap: one for the club songs so all the white ****es will be happy while they wait for their moms to pick them up afterschool. THE OTHER, REAL GENRE where no **** with one hit single for ringtone sales can take over. And we need to enforce this so that there is a BET1 and a BET2, each for the specific genres. There should be two radio stations, one playing Soulja Boy crap and the other playiing Nas. Until that day, rap will be on life support, waiting for the embarrassment to go away. NO MORE GAY RAP. NO MORE STUPID TEEN ****S THINKING THEY’RE HARD BECAUSE THEY LISTEN TO V.I.C. AND APPROACH YOU LIKE THEY KNOW WHY RAP WAS CREATED. AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO NEED TO BE EXTINGUISHED FROM WALKING THE EARTH. THEY CAN GO LISTEN TO THEIR ****TY EMO MUSIC OR WATEVER!!!!!!!

Over 2.5 Milli sold. Personal opinions don’t mean **** because everybody has one. You gotta look at the numbers being put up because that is a direct reflection of who the people feel are the best. As much as I hate to say it, Lil Wayne is currently the best rapper alive. If anybody else was better then they would’ve put up better numbers because the people would’ve supported them. Facts are facts, Wayne’s album got bootlegged 2 weeks before it dropped and he still broke records. Personally, I’m a 3 Stack fan but I can’t deny a fact. Call his fans what you want but they are in abundance and they support him. I salute the dude cuz he grinded to get where he’s at and he deserves it.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
street prophet ur an idiot 2. if u talk about albums being sold 50 cent would kill lil wayne. but the fact is they both suk. u can say hes the most popular rapper but his lyrics r **** and wack
