The 10 best rappers of the 90s (Complex)/ your thoughts ?

[King Lance]

eminem should be on the list also infinite slim shady ep lp etc

the slim shady lp is not enough to make Eminem one of the best artists of the 90s imo. he would have been on the list if mmlp was also released in the 90's


Btw, you should avoid the double posts, admins don't like that shit

snoop doggy dogg was better then big l big l has no classic album imo

Get the hell outta here. We're talking best rappers. Snoop is the shit...but no. I'd keep Snoop and replace Lauryn Hill with L.

Snoop is a better rapper than Big L..can't believe what I just read..

lol at l being a better rapper then snoop we talking snoopy doggy dog fam not snoop lion or the snoop dogg as of 2013 we talking death row snoop dogg when he was in his prime.

snoop dogg dropped what to alot of people is the greatest hip hop album of all time in doggystyle when big l dropped his first album he had no buzz whatsoever

Agreed. But he said Snoop is a better rapper. Enormous difference. I agree with this statement...but please tell me not you too Lance..

im curious on why u think big l is better then snoop lyrically.

[ronnie56]

Go download Lifestylez and The Big Picture and don't come back until you've learned what you're saying. Snoop was never a great lyricist. I like Snoop. I saw him live twice a while back. I'm not just hating on him.

I'm a snoop fan of course I've heard his debut. Unless that wasn't to me

breh i own lifestylez one of big l's biggest fans but better then death row snoop nah.

yeah he wasn't the most skilled rapper but when people talk about "the best rappers", they usually talk about them as "hip hop artists", they usually talk about skills/albums/impact/influence/

Music/hip hop is about leving an imprint, it's about moving a crowd and a list without snoop isn't a valid list imo

And people tend to forget that snoop was one of the masterminds behind The Chronic

L was more skilled in probably every aspect of Mcing. Flow, delivery, rhymes, metaphors, storytelling...

I don't deny snoop's impact or influence. But this dude said

"lol at l being a better rapper then snoop"

lol l having a better flow then snoop now i know i done heard it all and rhyme schemes
don't mean anything if u not making any sense which alot of L's rhymes did not make.

snoop doggy dogg could do multis along with every other mc in the game.

[ronnie56]

Snoop was like a west coast Slick Rick, minus the storytelling and...everything else.

lmao.

[King Lance]

Pac Should be #1

Lance you a fan of old school mobb deep? And is anyone a fan of lost boyz?

The Infamous is one of my fav albums

[King Lance]

jay tried to sign every single hip hop artist

[ronnie56]

Ronnie, for someone who is seemingly in love with rhyming and rhyme schemes, I'm surprised you aren't a fan of Big L or are calling Snoop a better rapper.

L got taken too early to really show off, it's a shame.

i am a big l fan that's the thing but i can be objective about this though at no point was big l a better rapper.

snoop had multis too.

[ronnie56]

@ staywideawake

ok let's go verse for verse and i will bold the rhyme schemes for you let's debate now big l vs snoop in this thread rhyme for rhyme u down for it or not.
