He always talks about his own real-life problem. Hard for some people to admit, but compared to most rappers, he is real in the sense that he doesn't exaggerate about "bitches" that he has and all the money that he makes even though he has more than most rappers. He always raps about what he wants and not what anyone wants him to. Also hard to argue with the fact that he's sold the most albums of any other rapper. Smart move on his part too about not bragging about money because he's the original white rapper and people could've taken that the wrong way really fast FIRE The Best Rapper Ever Deserve to be at no. 1

J. Cole Jermaine Lamarr Cole, better known by his stage name J. Cole, is an American hip hop recording artist and record producer. He's third here, but way lower on the best rappers list! What?! Underrated on this cite. He raps about experience, is down to earth and is one of the best lyricist with Kendrick and Drizzy! He does his stuff and raps about expierence and real problems in society J Cole has a point to prove and he's not shy about it. He is so, so personal and deep and shows such beautiful emotions in his songs which give you chills down your spine, I love it!. He comes better and better with each track. His lyrical play is as sharp as needlepoint. Its an art form! He addresses real life problems especially with black people and their struggles. He is the best rapper alive and he ain't tryin' to be be everything like some rappers nowadays. Great rapper he speaks about real life situations that he has witnessed and emotions that re inside him and expresses it in his music. Real rapper. He gonna be a great one

Hopsin Marcus Jamal Hopson, better known by his stage name Hopsin, is an American rapper, record producer, director and actor from Los Angeles, California. Hopsin was born on July 18, 1985. His first album was called Emurge but he's best known for his album titled Raw. One of the realest rapper alive. He raps about the society and stuff that happens in daily life and he's fight against his record label. Should be number 1. He's been getting a lot bigger for the last 3 years and he deserves to gain more attention. He is the realist rapper there is. He speaks his mind and calls out all the fake rappers. He acknowledges his mistakes, and the whole music industries mistakes. He changes lives through his lyrics. He spits raw. Hopsin talks about heavy topics and gets deep with his lyrics, has crazy wordplays and isn't always talking about getting money, smoking weed, and having sex with billions of women. He stays humble and does his own thing. Hopsin is real to me his flow is top 5 in the game right now, his ill mind of hopsin saga is some of the realest material ever put out he stays true to his personality and I think he's top 10 for sure, but he did kind of do the Joker dirty when he made it big

NAS Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones, better known by his stage name Nas, is an American rapper and entrepreneur born on September 14, 1973 in New York City. His album, Illmatic, is considered to be one of the best rap albums of all time. He is also considered to be one of the best rappers of all time. Nas & 2pac & Prodigy & Big are the realists to be honest Very real Nas is the realest, on his day he would destroy Pac and any other rapper. You can't get realer then NAS. Listen to his very first LP Illmatic which is probably the best LP ever all the way to his most recent album life is good. His lyrics have always stayed real even though the game is changing direction. HIP HOP IS DEAD Nas>Pac

Kid Cudi Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, better known by his stage name Kid Cudi, is an American recording artist and actor from Cleveland, Ohio. He keeps it real, doesn't blow himself up above what he is Realest rapper One of the realist of all time should be at least top 10 Few rapper admit his emotions like this dude. Definitely needs a higher listing

Raised in Compton, California, Lamar embarked on his musical career as a teenager under the stage name K-Dot, releasing a mixtape that garnered local attention and led to his signing with indie record label Top Dawg ...read more. To Pimp A Butterfly is pretty real or I've been wrong about everything since I was born. He is hands down realist rapper of this generation. Him and J. Cole he deserves higher than 15 on the list. He will forever be the best better than Eni men as rather than constantly writing about himself he write philosophies and writes about common problems and music isn't just about the beat but the stories the lyrics tell and if you really listen to his music you will understand why he's the best and always will be his lyrics are the best out there The absolute best, he needs to be in the top 10. Definitely the realest of this generation.

Immortal Technique Felipe Andres Coronel, better known by the stage name Immortal Technique, is an American rapper and urban activist from Lima, Peru. He was born on February 19, 1978 Dance With The Devil goes hard. One on the realest rappers of all time, should be higher up on the list. He addresses real issues all the time, the only reason he isn't mainstream is because he won't become a sellout puppet, he is the GOAT of underground rap, he could probably beat most mainstream rappers, except maybe Eminem and Tupac. Should definitely be higher than Hop and Eminem. Hop is good where he is, But Tech should be way farther than Eminem. This dude gets real about politics, social issues and just goes off blatantly about how he feels. He don't sugar coat. Plus he intelligent as hell, poverty of philosophy, dance with the devil, caught in a hustle, the martyr, the 3rd world, the 4th branch, any of his interviews. It goes on and on

DMX Earl Simmons, known professionally as DMX and Dark Man X, is an American rapper and actor. He was born on December 18, 1970. He's the real G.O.A.T DMX FOR LIFE, His Word His Voice His Life His Messages EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS REAL, DOGZ FOR LIFE, RUF RYDERZZ My opinion, should be #1 or 2 MAX. Maybe behind Nas. He lets it all out on the mic and his music is way more relatable. Pure emotion, raw passion, and true toughness that no other mc has. Drugs sorta messed him up but he uses all his struggles, anger, and experiences as inspiration for his music. His debut album was the greatest in my opinion. Only album that can give it competition is Nas' Illmatic. Definitely a true Hip Hop poet. Genius on the mic EASY... dmx been through more than any other rapper and still keeps it real, he isn't a fake trying to act gangster, he's a gangster trying to stay true to god, as real as it gets, I'm SLIPPIN, I'm FALLIN, I can't GET UP! After listnen to one of x's songs I want to mess someone up. this gets you pumped up man. my favorites-lord give me a sign, ruff ryders anthem, party up, shot down and many more - southie187

Biggie 10 How can your favorite songs be warning dead wrong and the 10 crack commandments, those are some of his mediocre songs, you gotta put like gimme the loot, grab my gun, everyday struggle and bleed as pretty much like everyone's favorite biggie songs BROOKLYN this guy was ill. favorite songs-10 crack commandments, warning and dead wrong How is this fat in the top 5 he talk trash when pax died never responded to disses lol Biggie has had a vary hard life I mean he was literally selling drugs at the age of 12.

The Contenders

50 Cent Curtis James Jackson III, better known by his stage name 50 Cent, is an American rapper, actor, entrepreneur, investor, record, film, and television producer. 11 I'm talkin bout his old stuff. the power of the dollar album was amazin. and get rich or die tryin was good 2. my favorites- lifes on the line, ghetto quoran, you ain't gangsta, peace god and the corner bodega - southie187 If you mean his older stuff, then he gets my vote

If you mean his newer stuff, he does not get my vote, even if his new stuff is still good. - AliciaMae I love his old music. Now, he is a little too pop. But his old stuff like Power of the dollar, guess whose back, GRODT, and the massacre were all really good. His songs on all of those were unreal because he had an amazing flow to his songs which I don't think he has anymore. Lyrically wack, and, for the last few years, just gains attention through talking trash about others. But nonetheless, he had great songs, his (workout)book formula 50 is great and inspiring, and you just can't doubt that he wasn't a real hustler!

Game 12 Game Is definitely one of the realest rappers alive, grew up in Compton with his dad being a nutty drug addict gang banging blood like the rest of his family, all he seen from birth was drug, guns, his parents going out to do drive by's, Was then put into a foster care at a young age to when he got older moved back in with his mother and attended Compton high school, when the majority of students were part crip and his fam was huge into the bloods. Watch his family and friends die after getting shot at, got a scholarship to college which then he lost due to drugs, got back into gang banging hard after that, selling drive by's etc to where he was home alone one night and shot 5 times. He should be no.2 because he is the best and realest Rapper after Tupac he was is and will be the best rapper there is no One to replace him NO ONE 2PAC 4LIFE He reminds me of girls beefing over Facebook and then reuniting, posting pics of their bff and all the white girls . Sorry, he ain't that bad lyrically, but too much attention seeking from his side. His raps would've been much shorter if he'd let out all the names he's dropping. He looks like a gangsta, but if he opens his mouth, he's just a little white teen girl with a 'obey' cap Very real, his lyrics are not just about killing, they mean something. Hence he is now bigger than 50.

Chance the Rapper Chancelor Jonathan Bennett, known professionally as Chance the Rapper, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer from the West Chatham neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. 13 Why is he even here? - DaWyteNight Everything chance puts out is goat Realest rapper ever

Snoop Dogg Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr., (born, October 20, 1971) known professionally as Snoop Dogg, is an American rapper, actor, record producer, and television personality from Long Beach, California. 14 I don't even understand how in the world he is below lil Wayne on here should be at least in the top 10 How is he not no 2 I think 18 is to low for snoop. A true inspiration You can't doubt his words. Word

After leaving N.W.A in December 1989, ...read more. 15 I like ice cube Sorry, but Cube was just a great actor. Eazy-E was the only gangsta in the group, Ice Cube never did the things he rapped about. He just put on a fabricated image because that's what he was told to do. - DaWyteNight He's the grand wizard of gangsta rap and the westcoast war lord! He never switched to pop or mainstream music! He's still rocking Chucks & Dickies like back in the day.

Real Rappers don't wear skinny jeans nor they do pop music!

Real Hip Hop Ain't Dead! Ice cube has gotta be higher he has always stayed true to himself,never changed and great story teller with some of the best messages

He also performs as the frontman of rock band Japanese Cartoon ...read more. 16 Doesn't need to talk about money drugs women or anything negative in his music. Always had a positive message that people need to hear. He should be higher on the list. People should give him more credit then he has. Genuine artistry with his work. His content stems from such heart, dedication, and real-life issues. Doesn't rap about menial and materialistic. Using his platform to spread messages and education. Doesn't get credit because the general consensus isn't intelligent enough to understand his music. Everything he says is real and about the real world. He is political and is not afraid to speak the truth. He raps about the struggles of the streets of Chicago and even raps about the crime struggles of America. His song Battle Scars is unbelievable and powerful than most rap songs about depression. In my opinion he is one of the top 3 most genuine artists ever. I don't understand how artists like Hopsin, J cole, and Lil Boozie got ahead of him Should be in the top 15 for sure. Always speaks the truth about things that matter

Z-ro Joseph Wayne McVey IV, better known by his stage names Z-Ro and The Mo City Don, is an American rapper from Houston, Texas. 20 Z-ro should be number 1 on this list. He constantly calls out the music industry for being fake and how everybody selling their soul for fame.

Everybody in Texas knows him but you got people on this list voting for hopsin over z-ro? Jesus Christ.



Go ahead and try and find me one rap fan in Texas who can't sing along with Mo City Don. You won't be able to.

He is still one of the most talented rappers of all time. In my opinion L in his prime could have ruined anyone on the mic. Should really be number 1, lyrically tops Pac to me at least the way he broke down words was genius his rhymes were unheard of, the kid was truly ahead of his time
