IMHO there is no alltime list in anything. Sports, Music or whatever.
Reason is because its bigger then so many artist having different styles. The fact u can't compare artist & groups from different eras.
U can't compare Doug E. Fresh of the mid 80's to Point Blank of the mid 90's. Beastie Boys of the late 80's to Hot Boys of the late 90's. Ice Cube of early 90's to 50 Cent of today. Hell, u can't compare Cube of the early 90's to Cube of today. Completely different times. Different eras, different sounds in music & most artist lose there fire as time goes on. Rakim was ahead of his time when he first hit the scene & was the first rapper to throw complicated rhymes into his raps & either though he still got spits he aint ahead of his time anymore & nowhere close to where he was lyrically 20 years ago. Like I said before. Different eras.
Any person IMO who has an alltime list like this either doesn't know hip hop, is a kid or has the mind of a kid. This is the reason I don't say "alltime". I compare artist from certain eras.
But of course this is just my opinion.
@ Johnny K..... I see u got Big Daddy Kane on ur list. He was @ his hardest in the late 80's beginning of the 90's. U trying to say he was better then KRS-1 in the 80's & better lyrically better then Cube in the early 90's? Ome on now.
Crooked I has never dropped an album so he's not an established rapper IMO.
Big Pun dropped 2 albums in the late 90's. Lyrically he was not fucking with Face, Lynch, Jayo Felony, X-Raided,Sicx, AZ, Soulja Slim, E-40 & a lot of other rappers I could name.
Fabulous? He's not close to being the best MC from Brooklyn let alone an alltime great.
I could pick most ur list apart so easy but I just decided to pick a few.

sounds like your hatin my dude. this is MY OPINION of who i feel was/are the best spitters(not rap artists) of all time...so far.
the mentality of a kid? nah im grown homie. and if you really wanna get technical, this whole forum is young shit. niggas aint havin intelletual convos on here, we aint talkin politics, economic growth, relationships and money. thats grown shit. we talkin rap n hip hop shit-overall just mindless chop about hood shit, culture and music. fall back or fall back.
and im not talkin or breakin down diff. eras n shit. each era/decade got they own niggas who had/has they signifigance so that aint what it's about. im talkin since about 1978 til now, who been spittin. thats all! cot damn haters!
and pick me list apart? woooow. Fab? i never said he was the illest from BK. but he does spit. Pun is better than all them dudes u named after him(just LYRICALLY-if ucks wit Face over him in a heart beat). Dont matter if big Crook aint dropp'd an ablum yet tha boy is still the illest-nuff said.
n Mayo Felony? u serious? if u was from DaGo then u would understand why that shit is funny.haha.LOL
p.s-Tech's still boo boo. la cha cha!
Blue= Big Jon talking about how he's grown.
Green= What Big Jon thinks grown people talk about which would include him. However am I the only one that doesn't think this dude is capable of carrying on a conversation about either one of those topics?
Magenta= What he says we don't talk about on siccness but I seem to remember contributing in about 5875 threads about just these very topics.
Orange= So what you're saying is a rap artist can't have good spits? I don't really know the difference between a "rap artist" and a "hip-hop artist" but I also really don't care. To me it's all the same.
@ Johnny K..... I just expressed my opinion & u call me a hater? But @ the end of ur post u say Tech N9ne is boo boo. And for what? Who was even talking about Tech? U sound like the real hater.
And To say Pun was better lyrically then Soulja Slim, Lynch, Jayo & the other artist I named is ur own opinion but I highly dissagree.
And just cuz its a lot of youngstas in this forum don't mean grown ups with intelligence can't voice there opinions. U trying to say that hood shit, & culture aint grown man shit?
Homie do what u do & say what u say. Fab is from Brooklyn & AZ would chop Fab lyrically.
