The Top Ten

1Eminem
he's unstoppable once he puts his mind 2 it he says the most amazing things that sound crazy but it makes sence not 1 rapper would go head up with him with out getten there feelings hurt eminem will get on you about anything hair shoes anything
Hes the best rapper out there, has so many top songs its crazy,
his best song is either No love ft. lil wayne or when im gone!
check him out, the best there is by far!
k bye.
Eminem is the Best he always does what ever he can to stay on top Hes "" THE KING OF RAP "" not only the 21st century but forever

2Kanye West

Kanye West is not just able to give exciting and mainstream music but is able to interchge his voice making each song different and every other album better than its predeccesor

Kanye had some of the best rap albums of the 21st century, MBDTF was groundbreaking, graduation and college dropout was great as well.

3Jay-Z
He's really good with rhymes and can really put messages behind each rap. The best is Run This Town ft. Rihanna and Kanye West
This list is absolutely hilarious. The only person that is anywhere Jay as of the last 12 years is Nas and Eminem. No one else in the 21st Century compare. Jigga for number ONE!
Every rap is a story and comes from Jays heart. His rhymes have meanings and they make sense. He's sold the most albums, put out the most songs, and has a collection of awards to show it. By far the best rapper ALIVE, and its not even close!

4Lil Wayne
He's just great, enough said
He's everything about the modern rap industry
Lil wayne is epic, a rap genius not just a great rapper but one of the best artist ever.
Lil Wayne in 7th are you kidding me he is the best rapper in the world by a million miles :) Dr dre 2nd and eminem 3rd

5T.I.

T.I. is the sexiest rapper alive and he keeps it real in all of his songs he is the best. I love all of his songs. but I don't think that kanye west is better then him they should have put him in 5 and T.I. in 3

T.I.P. is not only the hottest mc today. But he's the best lyrically since 2pac. He's one of the greatest ever.

HE REPPIN DA SOUTH STR88 UP and T.I DA SEXIEST HOTTEST RAPPER ALIVE G.H BABY...

650 Cent
50 should Be in The top 10 because he been running hip hop from 02-07 and has arguably 2 classic albums with one of them being the highest debut in hip hop. He also has sold like over 30 million records worldwide and has accoplished what jay and diddy have in a shorter period with less material and last but not least he has won almost every beef he has been in if 50 cent ain't a hip hop legend I don't know who is!
50 made a huge impact on hip-hop. he destroyed more careers than any other rapper and made others succesful such as The Game. He maybe isn't the most talented rapper, but the most successful one. And theres a reason why he's so successful, its cuz he's really good.
waidy from MIA!
50 cent is one of the best rappers of the 21st century because he's invented he've won every beef that he's been in. he said it himself, he "I want them to love me like they loved pac". 2pac was an instinct killer, and nobody has come closer to that than 50 cent!

7Tinie Tempah

8Chipmunk

9Florida
He should be in the third place
Flo rida has a rare voice
Flo ride should be at least over kanye west and lil wayne. Flo ride is awesome

10Drake

Really not sure why he's this low and Akon doesn't rap!

The Contenders

11Dr. Dre

12Mike Shinoda
What the hell mike shinoda at 20. No way he is the rapper of the century. No one can beat him except eminem and jayz. He is the rocking rapper. Listen place for my head by linkin park, he raps crazily. He should be on top3.
Mike Shinoda is extremely underrated but his contribution to Linkin Park is invaluable, not to mention his sick 'Styles of Beyond' project; think 'Remember the Name'.
Best rapper in the world.. Not only Linkin Park fans love him, but also all the people in the world.. He should be at least be in the top 5

The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night, at at at night. On some real

Really a champion whose raps are easy to chill too, yet he also has deep songs. Some of everything but its all great. Disappointed to see him this low. He's definitely top 5 quality.
