I respectively disagree. I prefer Tupac as the greatest rapper ever.

The lack of appreaciation for Ghostface Killah here is criminal It's back-and-forth with Ghostface. A lot of people like him because he was pretty much the loudest after ODB. To me, sometimes he gets it right, sometimes he doesn't. While he's not my least favorite of the Wu (that goes to U-God), I never thought he was as good as Deck, Masta, Raekwon and the others.

I'd say the whole package of music+lyrics+etc etc of a more abstract rapper like MF Doom or Kool Keith beats what a lot of guys are doing.
As for pure MCing, Pun can't even come close to Rakim or Nas circa Illmatic.
Q-Tip had a nice smooth flow, but it was proven that he couldn't be as good solo. People always though A Tribe Called Quest WAS Q-Tip, but he needs Phife and Ali BAD!!

My personal favourite rapper ever, I don't know if I'd call him the BEST ever, but my personal favourite has to be Weerd Science. But I'm pretty sure none of you listen to him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebHExqYx5uYIf you wanna check him out, be my guest. Great stuff.

I always thought the GZA aka the Genius was the best Wu Tang rapper. Liquid Swords is possibly my favorite Wu Tang solo album.

only bad part about big pun is fat joe :/ Fat Joe's a joke. I hate it when these so-called "hard rappers" chase the cash and work with Paris Hilton or some other pop-diva wannabe. Talib Kweli and Mos Def (aka Black Star) were doing the political thing pretty good for awhile there. I do like conscious rap. One political rap group that may never sell out - Dead Prez

Dead Prez won't ever sell out, they make great music, but they still openly hate white people :/

all due respect to Pun hes not the best just one of but let me say this real quick.2 points i want to make how come people always mention someone dead as being the best and just completely forgot about those living such as rakim,ll cool j (early stuff)krs-one,redman,eminem,nas,jay-z,kool g rap,big daddy kane,ice cube,dmx,or either member of outkast(once again early stuff and continued longevity)point 2 how come no1 ever mentions any1 from wu-tang as being the best.is it that they are too strong as a group to be broken down individually.oh and by the way eminem is the greatest of all time especially when u consider his multiple flows,wordplay,multi-syllables,storytelling ability,complexity,and off the wall style.as a matter of fact ill give u my unofficial top 10 right now
10.DMX
9.Redman
8.LL
7.KRS-One
6.Tupac
5.Rakim
4.Nas
3.Jay-z
2.Biggie
1.Eminem(give that white boy his due)
