most of you are showing the RICHEST rappers or most successful. the greatest that i know are
Sick Sick (the greatest freestyling ever and also very witty)
Mike Skinner (sheer poetry mixed with comedy)
Eminem (very talented but unfortunately has become too commercialised)
Beastie Boys (revolutionised rap/hip-hop)
Phi Life Cypher (a very rare denomination of The Gorillaz)
Wu-Tang Clan (commercialised the rap industry)
Grand Master Flash (created the "rap" genre of music)
"Lesson one: linguistics...alright, your rhymes are quite tight but hold no characteristics
Lesson two: true you do have a clue but you were too busy biggin' yourself to pull through, to battle is to put me on the spot, rather than lie to try to make yourself look hot.
Lesson three: i hide behind a smile, because I see that you are on trial, 'cause i've been rapping for a while, rather than since 8 mile.
Lesson four: sure, you want to rap but what for? You obviously can't so you should hit the door, you want to rap because your black but are becomming a whore, and any racial shit you wana spit, i'm on toppa ya, you were always a white-boy until black became popular"
A freestyle before a battle rap from Sick Sick. He then went on to easily win the competition after most of the other contestants dropped out

10 rappers that are absolutely unlistenable. Rappers with CDs that shouldn't even be used as frisbees. Can't flow, can barely rhyme, prone to repeat themselves in bars and get rich by pretending to be rich. Or even worse the MCs that just choose slow beats and babble to themselves about nonsense. God knows there are at least a thousand more that deserve to be on this list, so I've tried to pick out the absolute worst. In no particular order:
Project Pat
Silk the Shocker
Master P
Mike Jones
Dem Franchise Boys (take your pick)
Jermaine Dupree
U-God
Praz
Freeway
Young Jeezy
Those are the top 10 worst rappers. I know your favorite rapper is probably on there which just makes you a lame. Tell you what. Get your favorite rapper to challenge my favorite rapper to a freestyle battle or a battle on wax and see what happens.
