A list of the worst rappers around that some like to torture themselves and others with. Masochists? I don't know.

24 24. Tyga



Tyga's first album accurately outlined his alignment with pop hooks and teenage-angsty do-good rhymes. His second album tried to reinvent him in a "misunderstood gangster" kind of way and it didn't really work. He occasionally had an impressive feature in another artists song, but looking for that creativity in his own music was missing. His stupid hooks and droning lyrics made him fit right in with the worst out there. Go back to wherever Rack City is.

23 23. Wiz Khalifa



I liked what he had. The Kush & OJ tape was a good one. Yea, he smoked a lot, but that's what rappers do! Here we are though, years later, and his incredible weed consumption has caught up with him. He comically reminds us of how much weed he smokes and how rich he is in every song, as if we'd forgotten. His songs have no substance and his rhymes are weak. He offers more of a game to count how many times he says blunt in his songs rather than offer anything substantive or interesting. Boo

22 22. 50 Cent



50 Cent's name is one that goes about a far and wide as Eminem's or Dr. Dre's. He had several hits in the 2000's and his involvement with G-Unit made him even more successful. Unlike Em and Dre though, 50 wasn't really known for his lyrical mastery of any kind, but more so for having a catchy hook and just "being there." His business and entrepreneurial ventures soon went the way of the way of his rhymes: downhill. He filed for bankruptcy in 2015. "So come give me a hug!" No thanks, Fiddy.

21 21. Rick Ross



Can't say I've ever heard a Rick Ross tune or rhyme for that matter and said, "wow that was creative/impressive/etc." I know he's in some popular music but nothing really stands out to me as worthwhile. His trademark grunt and "maybach music" line on every one of this beats is overdone and annoying.

20 20. Flo Rida



Though his rap-gone-pop hybrid is admittedly catchy, it is questionable whether Flo should even be considered a rapper. He often relies on 80's pop hooks to make his songs listenable. Whatever he's doing, it's bad. But he will surely release another boring and formulaic "party" song soon.

19 19. DJ Khaled



Not a rapper by any means, but is active in the rap community which is why he is featured. He isn't a producer, he isn't a beat maker, he isn't a rapper. No one seems to know what he does other than contact his celeb friends to feature on a beat. Also known as "DJ Has a Cell Phone."

18 18. Pitbull



Not really sure I would call what Pitbull does rapping, but it is certainly trash. He often uses the same formula of ripping off another popular song's chorus to fool people into listening to him. His success is attributed to already know knock-offs or convincing production work. His idiotic shouting has never made his songs interesting. One of the biggest hacks in the music industry.

17 17. Future



Future sounds like his auto tune was water damaged. His rhyming sounds just as broken.

16 16. 2 Chainz



"Music to get dumb to." Rap songs to bob your head to and that's it. He'll crack a joke here and there, but his likability falls short. Tolerable as a feature, torturous on his own.

No creativity as far as lyrics go. I feel dumber just hearing you. Keep drinking that cough syrup.

14 14. Lil Wayne



Lil Wayne was the first of these jokers to appear on my radar years ago, back when I first started becoming obsessed with music. Back then, (ie Tha Carter II) his rhymes were at least tolerable. He has been on a rapid decline since, and has showed no signs of improvement. His puns and jokes a laughable in the sense that they make you ask yourself, "is this guy serious?" His speaking voice is comparable in sound to a guitar strung with dental floss, and that is assuming he stays away from his god-awful singing. Sadly, the success of his older albums and stars like Nicki Minaj and Drake have kept him relevant.

13 13. Waka Flocka Flame



I feel stupid even typing his name. Yelling a few phrases over a beat and laying down a horrible verse is something Lil Jon has already perfected, thank you.

12 12. Birdman



The owner of rap conglomerate Cash Money Records. Luckily his business ventures have made him successful because rap career wouldn't have. Can't really expect much from a dude whose vocal signature is a bird "coo." Isn't is sad that he owns a Bugatti?

11 11. iLoveMakonnen



Found fame on a boring bedroom beat featuring his anemic, pubescent singing voice that Drake liked for some reason. Sadly he is still around polluting the airwaves, making songs that sound like The Weeknd if he were a sickly, tone deaf teenager.

Another awkward Drake clone, if Drake sang through a stoma and rapped with a bucket over his head.

A nauseating concoction of Future, Lil Wayne and Fetty Wap blended with stomach bile, manure and dead carcass of some kind. Gross.

8 8. O.T. Genasis



You know, like genesis but spelled wrong. Too long, didn't listen: "I like cocaine and I have baking soda."



Probably to make you shit pies. More tasteful than his music though.

7 7. Soulja Boy



Crank That was a ubiquitous hit in 2007. It was massively popular because of the dance that went along with the song. Everyone remembers the dance, though the lyrics are entirely forgettable. Trying to sing along made everyone around you question if you were sane or rabid. The drool was just part of the appeal though, you didn't even have a dog.

6 6. Dej Loaf



Confused. Are you twelve? You can't rap, you can't sing, and you sound you are trying to imitate a "vocalist" who is already uninteresting and entirely unnecessary. Like say, Willow Smith? Would like to meet the person responsible for putting her on the radio.

5 5. Stitches



The face tattoos say it all. Sounds like an awkward mix between Tech N9ne and Mystikal if they were both retarded (I really use that word sparingly, but it fits here.) About as good at rapping as his face tattoos are at getting him a job. Just the worst.

4 4. Slim Jesus



Dubbed as the "white boy tryna act thug." Your race doesn't matter to me. You apparent obsession with guns and being a gangster is irrelevant. Rap about what you want. I can't say if you are pretending to be tough or not, and frankly I don't care. I can say that trying to keep on beat talking over a cell phone ringtone does not make you a rapper. And stop swaying in interviews, damn.

Well the creative name exemplifies what you are in for here. He is the epitomization if I somehow hated Lil Wayne more.

2 2. Chief Keef



Potentially the worst rapper I have ever heard. If you are able to decipher what he is actually saving you'd wish it remained a mystery.

1 1. Lil B



I love getting into a new craze or genre, but the maniacal following behind Lil B has never been something I could understand. I gave him a shot, thinking maybe his good tunes are hidden in his YouTube account. They aren't. And to anyone that says I 'don't get it,' stop pretending you like this clown.
