Top 5 dead or alive

- Start date
Like i said, i give eazy credit for putting NWA 2gether and THATS IT. His raps were weak, always written by dre or cube. And they way dre and snoop killed his already fading career?? If u or anybody tryna say eazy is in the top 5 rappers of all time, ill say it again...put the crack pipe down and get @ me when u sleep it off
Are you kidding me? Eazy-E was the pre-Suge Knight gangsta rap mastermind. He wasn't one of the greatest rappers, no...but he was and is one of the greats just because of his contributions to the music we all love today. Just think, without Eazy, there may have never been a Death Row, which means there probably wouldn't be a Dr. Dre, an old Snoop Dogg, 2Pac how he was after signing to Death Row, Eminem.
Eazy wasn't a "gimmick" rapper...a gimmick rapper is somebody who has an image made for them by the label. Eazy was Eazy, he wasn't told to act like something opposite himself. He might not have had the dopest delivery, but remember it was the late 80's/early 90's...nobody had dope delivery compared to a lot of cats today...by todays standard. Fact is, Eazy is responsible for a lot of cats success...and whether you like it or not, he put out hit records and brought in some of the best in the business.
Oh, and Dre didn't make Eazy's career disappear...if anybody did, it was Snoop Dogg, because Snoop was writing Dre's shit back then. But no, Eazy wasn't put out of business by Dre or Snoop...he was still smashin' on Tha Row's roster but he died before the shit came out. Remember Eazy E's answer to Dogg Pounds' WHAT WOULD U DO? Shit was hot.

It depends on what each person sees as GREAT! Nelly has a unique style and sound...and he's not afraid to cross boundaries. Cee-Lo, again...very creative and unique! Big L was sick, would have done a lot had he not died so soon. Kanye, I dug his first album but dude is too fuckin arrogant for his own good, so I agree he shouldn't be on that list.
My personal favorites are...
1. 2Pac
2. Biggie
3. Digital Underground
4. The Pharcyde
5. Scarface

See what im sayin?? niggaz be handin out the title "legend" or "great" to any rapper they hear a few times and think is hard, or to a rapper who dies at a young age. RIP to them niggaz but damn, big l, big pun and soulja slim were not "great" rappers, maybe good at best.
Dre was already blowin up in cali before he hooked up with eazy. Him and cube were the "masterminds" behind NWA, eazy just financed it, then had dre write him a few verses so he could shine too. Eazy's first cd was written by cube and produced by dre. And lets be real homie, after the chronic dropped(which btw, WAS dre's album, not snoop's) wasnt nobody tryna hear eazy. Without dre's beats and cube's verses eazy was finished.
Ay homie, u must not have listened to much lynch, cuz i think he only mentions baby guts in like 3 maybe 4 tracks. And luni better than lynch? Im done with this bullshit.
Will smith?? This thread is officialy now a joke

BIg L - platinum rapper. The only competition JayZ had and jayz said fuck it ill sign this dood to the roc. Best out of Harlem
Big Pun - Platinum rapper. No one in history could ever touch his lung control when it came to spittin which is known worldwide. The biggest puerto rican lyricist in history.
If you dont know who styles P is that means you dont know jadakiss, you dont know dmx. How can anyone say they dont know who the Lox are.
