Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Best Rap Artist of all Time?

I honestly think that if you take all the categories, lyrical, beats, poetry, and political,

Then Too Short is probably my all time favorite.

He is weak in the political area though he has a few songs that are good, but in straight rhyming poetry, really cool beats, lyrical talent....He's number one. He hasn't put out a [censored] song or album. Some artists put out some great songs that may be better than some of his, but I don't know of any that are consistently that good.
He only got one song that had radio play IIRC so you would have to be a real rap fan to put him on your list and you'd have to like old school to boot. Most people start off with radio play and buy albums, consequently he wasn't as well known. He was too dirty for that. lol
But if you haven't listened to him, do yourself a favor and pick up one of his albums.
