We just going to forget about NaS? Cool story bro.

Kamikaze and the Ringer are ing dope. Ringer is some of the best rapping I've heard in several years.
91-96 is the golden era in my opinion. Late 90's to early 2000s were pretty bad, save for Em, Jay-Z, NaS, and Outlast.
The pre Kim-ye Kanye was good enough to help carry rap till Cole, Kendrick and Drake took over.
Rakim.

Yup, so much heat. Don't forget the blueprint.
Tupac and DMX were my " s"
I enjoyed Nas and Jay-Z. But in 2000 when Cash Money and bling rap took over I forever lost interest. It seemed my interest and playing Basketball coincided with Rap.
lmao eminem is better than all black rappers... big L says what's up.
Yeah i didn't even go past 2000. Blueprint was fire and so much more albums to add...
no he isn't. Eminem has said on multiple occasions that Nas is better than him. And he admitted that he copied his style on Infinite.
Mentioned those two when I said Em', Jay, Nas and Outkast.
Blackstar, Miseducation, Like Water for Chocolate, Cap. Punishement are all flames but compared to '91-96 that list is less than half of the classics that were dropping.
Nas surpassed Rakim long ago imo
My original post already mentioned Jay, Nas, Em, and Outkast being the best rappers of the 97-04 era. Before Kanye came out. That era was otherwise forgettable in large part because of Ja Rule, and 50. That was when pop rap really became a thing; Jennifer Lopez had a number 1 rap hit with the "I'm Real Remix"
Dont forget about UGK and the Ghetto Boyz...........dem s own.

No. Paid in Full is #1 easily.
Not saying that era of music was all trash. I called rock music trash in that era too, doesn’t mean I’m ting on Kid A.
As a whole, that era of rap is a low point. Master P, Ja Rule, Juvenile, Nelly, etc.
Also, DMX is ing terrible, I know he sounds cool and has street cred, but the dude put out tons of garbage.

His roller coaster work and Rudolph cover are high points.
Eminem has said on many occasions he's the GOAT too. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on what he says, tbh.
To me the only two GOATs candidates are 2pac and Emin3m. When you talk about the GOAT of something people have to know about said GOAT. People that don't even have a clue about the thing that is being discussed but have at least heard the name of the person involved.
People that have never watched a tennis match, have heard the name Federer. People that don't like golf, know who Tiger Woods is. Folks that don't care about soccer recognize the names Maradona and Messi. Not to mention MJ (both MJs), Ali, The Beatles, etc.
Rap is minuscule in Argentina, almost non-existent, yet my 80 years old grandma has heard the names Eminem and Tupac. Same can't be said about guys like Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie or others.
By that logic NSYNC and Taylor Swift are the GOAT music acts
Does Fred Durst count?
It's all about genre.
Willie Nelson is not a rapper. Eminem is not a soul singer.
A cowboy in Wyoming is probably going with country, while a black kid in Detroits inner city......country????
