In this article, I am going to discuss some of the greatest rappers of all time. The list will include such people as Kanye West, LL Cool J, Pusha T and Eminem. But if you want to see who truly made a difference in the music industry, you will need to explore many other artists. I have included more than 100 artists on this list so there’s something for everyone.

Kanye West

Kanye West is a hip hop artist, and he is considered one of the most influential rappers of all time. Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, West first gained recognition as a producer with Roc-A-Fella Records, producing hit singles for other artists. In 2004, he released his debut album, The College Dropout. A few years later, he launched his own record label, GOOD Music.

As of this writing, West has sold over 21 million albums and has six platinum albums. He has also racked up over 100 million digital downloads. While his sales do not rival the sales of some other artists, his success is enough to qualify him as one of the greatest rappers of all time.

The Grammy-winning rap artist has a long list of awards and honors. His latest album, “Watch the Throne,” features a collaboration with JAY-Z. He has won 21 Grammys in all, tying him with JAY-Z as the most-nominated hip-hop artist in Grammy history.

LL Cool J

Many people believe that LL Cool J is one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. However, it is important to keep in mind that he wasn’t always the most sophisticated lyricist. His music was primarily aimed at the ladies, and he was inconsistent at times. That said, he is still regarded as a pioneer in the field of Hip Hop.

The key to understanding LL’s artistic style is to examine his early work. His earliest songs were based on radio rap, and his passion for music was evident. His later hits are technical triumphs. However, many critics criticized his style for being too “commercial” and too focused on love ballads.

Many critics have also praised his work as a vocalist and producer. His AABB rhyme scheme was used often, and his production often incorporated pop stylings. His discography offers a unique perspective on hip-hop culture.

Pusha T

Pusha T has been a prominent figure in hip-hop for many years. He was once the head of the influential label G.O.O.D. Music, and he pleaded with the NME to keep listing the label’s seminal rappers. Pusha T grew up listening to many of these artists and was fascinated by their cadence, production, flow, and rhyme schemes.

Pusha T is one of the most underrated rappers of the past two decades. He consistently produces high-quality rap music for far longer than any other artist, a feat that few other artists can claim. Many consider him a pioneer of the “Coke Rap” subgenre, a dark and harsh style of music that is marked by lyricism about buying and selling coke.

On his new album, ‘It’s Almost Dry,’ Pusha T has once again collaborated with Jay-Z. This is the first time the two have collaborated since 2016’s “Drug Dealer’s Anonymous.” Pusha T praised the rapper in an interview with SiriusXM’s Swaggy Sie. “Jigga listened to my verses and reacted differently to them,” he explained.

Eminem

Eminem’s tongue-twisting flow and ability to put together complex rhymes has made him one of the most famous rappers of all time. He has even been compared to Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan. His rapping ability has separated him from rivals such as Canibus and Ras Kass. In addition to his skillful rhyming, Em also has a strong sense of songwriting.

Aside from making some of the most successful music of all time, Eminem also published a book, Angry Blonde, in 2000. It is a non-fiction book that features commentary on Eminem’s songs and includes previously unpublished photographs.

His first two albums, Tha Carter and Revival, became hits and received widespread airplay. His third album, Tha Carter III, sold over a million copies in the U.S. in a single week and earned him the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. His music has since gone on to sell more than 120 million albums worldwide.

2Pac

2Pac is regarded as one of the best rappers of all time. His albums were widely popular and he was nominated for numerous Grammy Awards. He also holds the record for the most number one albums for a solo artist on the Billboard 200. His music continues to influence today, and he has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Often referred to by stage names such as Tupac, 2Pac brought a raw and poetic energy to hip-hop. His music addressed racism and poverty. He also spoke about social and political equality. His music influenced people of all backgrounds, including white men.

2Pac’s songs inspired many other rappers. His popularity has made him one of the most influential rappers of all time. He recorded more songs than any other Hip-Hop artist. While some songs failed to hit the top spot, Tupac Shakur’s music never disappointed his fans. Each of his songs was a potential hit and carried its own weight.

Mos Def

The reason Mos Def is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time is his versatility. He is able to use a variety of styles to tell his story, including humor and violence. His deep voice and irregular flow make him a one-of-a-kind artist. He is also one of the most thought-provoking MCs of all time.

Before becoming a solo artist, Mos Def was part of the Brooklyn duo Black Star. He rapped on several albums in the late nineties, before releasing his first solo album in October 1999. This album reached the top 25 on the Billboard Top 200. Mos Def is known for experimenting with various musical styles, from jazz grooves to blues-inspired jam sessions. His style is both creative and technically impressive.

In the mid-2000s, Mos Def shifted his focus to acting. After releasing True Magic, he legally changed his name to Yasiin Bey. He has also used his platform to support social causes, including the torture of prisoners in the US. He also announced a new Black Star project.

Ice Cube

One of the greatest rappers of the 1990s was Ice Cube. His debut album, “The Predator,” debuted at number one on both the hip hop and pop charts, which was unprecedented for the time. Songs from the album included “It Was a Good Day,” “Check Yo Self,” and “Fly Like an Eagle.” This album is still one of Ice Cube’s biggest commercial successes. It sold over three million copies in the US alone. However, his hip hop following waned after this album and his fourth album, “The Man Who Wasn’t Born Yesterday,” was not received well by critics.

In addition to his music, Ice Cube had a life outside of the music industry. He began acting in 1992 in the John Singleton film Boyz n the Hood, where he played the role of “Doughboy.” In addition to acting, he starred in the film “Trespass” alongside Ice-T. He married Kimberly Woodruff in 1992 and they had four children.

Biggie Smalls

Biggie Smalls’s charisma and flow have not changed. Even after 20 years, the rapper’s style has remained remarkably the same. This is largely due to his distinctive rhyme scheme. Unlike most rappers, he ends his lines before the bass of the next bar. This leaves less space between lyrical lines and makes it easier for listeners to follow his words.

Biggie Smalls, born Christopher Wallace, is one of the most well-known and influential rappers of all time. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1964, he was surrounded by drug culture and poverty. His family needed money and Biggie often turned to rap to find solace. He is still considered one of the greatest rappers of all time.

Life After Death, the rapper’s third studio album, was released posthumously after his death in 1996. It became a massive success and received high critical and commercial acclaim. His album was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America. His legacy continues to inspire with his music.

Nas

When it comes to rapping, few are as prolific, influential, and talented as Nas. He has released 9 albums since 1994, all of which have gone gold or platinum. Nas’s lyricists are legendary, and few other rappers in the world can claim to be better.

His style has undergone a number of changes through the years. His early years saw him as a young street disciple, and later as a vain all-knowing sage. His matured style made each album an occasion, and it has helped to prolong his illustrious career.

Nas’ personal life became complicated in 2001 when he lost his mother to cancer. At that time, his relationship with his daughter was in crisis. Jay-Z, meanwhile, dissed Nas in his song “Takeover” from the Blueprint album. Jay-Z had accused Nas of not putting out a “hot” album since his debut album, Illmatic. He also hinted that Nas may have been sleeping with the mother of his daughter.
