There are many factors in determining the best rapper. Examples are the following: "Album sales", "Lyrical Ability", "Role Model to youngsters", "Movies they star in", "Popularity", "Talent", "Beats", "Billboard", "Radio hits", "Music Videos".

I love Lil Wayne and T.I,

so im going wit them. Everybody else is good too,

but those are my main two.

Poetic skill, articulation, substance, delivery, charisma, conceptuality, anunciation (we have to be able to understand what they're saying, right? are all essential qualities of being a great rapper. Commercial profiling aside and dealing purely with the aforementioned, I'll have to go with Jay-Z at no. 1, followed by T.I. The others listed have some of the qualities, but the 2 that i mentioned have them all in my opinion.

My Main Rappper Is Kanye at #1 For His Creativity and Delivery, and His Diversity. Tha Others Have Good Songs 2. But Lil Wayne Can Be Wack In Alot Of His Songs....Drake Is New and Fresh....Jay needs No Description He Jus Great, T.I. Is Tha Best Of Tha South

T.I. is the last true lyricist left in tha game...i love that he raps about real shit and not some bull about his money and cars..but you gotta give it up to weezy...hes got his swagger on a zillion and you cant knock him...eminem is just plain crazy when he rhymes, and you can feel his pain in his songs. i cant rank them, but those three are my top 3

The Game is the best rapper in 09 lolll rest of them r softtttttttt

With the many rap options available to us today its hard to say who is the best of the best... all bring their own unique charisma and style to the table, depending on who you are and how you judge the world around you, you either hate it or love it... IMO #1 is Jay Z he is the greatest and most well rounded rapper alive... #2 goes to lil wayne; although he's a stereotypical rap character and at times comes off a bit incoherent his off-the-wall creative lyricism makes him loved as a lyricist reguardless of his flaws... #3 is Kanye West, even tho his cocky crybaby attitude is sometimes completly ridiculous and out of place in the rap world his style and musical creativity makes him known as a true artist using a mic instead of a brush... and a close #4 has to be T.I. and Eminem; T.I. is the freshest from the south and brings a different new found glory to the south's reputation, however he has to share #4 with Eminem IMO because Em has shown us he hasnt faded into retirement and even tho most of the relapse is the same old shit from em's other albums his shit always has and always will be fire and he's shown us he still has that same lyrical genius... so my list goes #1 Jay, #2 Wayne, #3 Kanye, #4 T.I. & Eminem, and all the new artist like drake, cudi, tyga, wale, roth, etc. should not even be considered in the list seeing as how they just came out and still have a lot to prove! Oh and in response to what Diverse said "The Game is the best rapper in 09 lolll rest of them r softtttttttt" Fuck you! You are an idiot and know shit about music... Im a fucking blood and used to support game to the max I HAD mad hopes for game but now-a-days game has been laggin it, he hasnt done shit, and he's just another gangsta rapper with the same old used gangsta rapper lyrics and gangsta rapper aura... he's old shit... he's not creative and he's doing nothing to further the change and rebirth of hip hop... its not rappers like soulja boy(who is very whack by the way) that's killing hip hop its rappers like game who are killing it by not wanting to evolve or change with the times, he's staying in the 80's & 90's and very few ppl wanna hear the same old song over and over again on a different beat... Hip Hop aint Dead nor is it Dying Hip Hop is Changing into many different sub-genres just like Rock n Roll did with Metal, Grunge, Classic, etc.!!! Fucking accept it!

now to get to the best rapper i think the best rapper of 2009 is Kanye West he has great talent hands down now lil wayne he good but he aint as good as he was when he was wit cash money back in the day. T.I needs to get outta jail n com eout wit more shit b4 he can be the best. Jay-z was better when he first came out rapping fast but once he switched up his style sounding more like jaz o he kinda lame now people just like him cuz he got beyonce.

BC Rap  says:

The Game is by far the best...you people who dont mention him couldnt have heard songs such as money, my life, Dope boys, Startch from Scratch, my bitch, Big Dreams, Red Bandana, C alifornia Vacation, etc...95% of his songs are at least a 8 out of 10...how can u pick Lil Wayne and these soft guys man? They dont do Rap. They only are soft kiss ass hip hopers!

Drake is the most overrated rapper ever. He is such garbage. Just look at the lyrics to the song "the best I've ever had," he repeats the same word over and over again, and the chorus is one fucking line. He can't lay down one good track on his own. He needs Lil Wayne by his side to make his something.

to determine a good rapper,we talk about his rapstyle,awards recieved,rap albums produced,amount of musics and videos he has featured,popularity and rap experience.as far as all this things are concern,lil wayne is the best rapper alive,having many rap awards,nice rapstyle,many albums including freestyles,features in almost every new music,most popular and having experience in rapping since 1999.even too young and will live to be the rap legend.follows jay z,eminem,kanye,ti.weezy is the best and youngest rapper.

From all these rappers you've mentioned above only Jay-Z and Eminem are one of the best rappers. Lil Wayne is a pop artist not a rapper if you ask me. T.I. is cool but Kanye West shouldn't be in the top 5 either.

And why you're mentioning The Game? He hasn't been active in 2009 has he.. Though he's a good rapper.

Of 2009 Fabolous he had the most record sales and is one of the best lyricist ever.Lil Wayne ain't nothing he just did so many songs he can't rhyme like he did before

on the top of anyone slim shady. he is the best rapper with most album sales the rest are all joke's except jay. and ya'll forgat about luda he use to rock our head's but at eminem is the best

Richard Smith II  says:

My pick are simple and to the point. Slim Shady, Drake, and Jay-z. Lil Wayne and T.I have done nothing this year to be even consider to 5 of 2009. The only thing that has worked for Lil Wayne this would be Drake. T.I is in prison he has done nothing musical in 2009. If Lil Wayne comes out with a album this year them just maybe. But he is running out of time.

These are my picks for this year.

1.Drake

2.Slim Shady

3.Jay-Z

Yall are Gay!!!

Of 2009.

Considering lil Waynes ill ass new mixtape (No Ceilings) which i jus copped early. He sits at #1 this year.

# 2. Kanye West. Work Ethic, production skills... smash!

# 3. Jay Z.. only put out a fuckin album, he was out worked in the rap business, but sky rocketed in the clothing business. He is not better than Nas. He is Good though. He did 3rd Best.

Em came back.. but..he didnt do shit really.. His mixes were to bright and annoying.. well see about next year..lol hez gonna murder tha game..

T.I. will alwayz be king of GA. Luda will always be neck to neck wit Jeezy.

THERE IS NO NUMBER 4... everybody else sat on there asses!!!

Although Gucci Mane is well known in every fuckin hood.. I conclude.

I love Weezy and JayZ and 50cent but weezy is the best rapper.

he has shown all the qualities of a good rapper so he deserves the award and anyone who dislike him should go to hell but as long as weezy is alive he still remains the best rapper alive.

for now i think it is lil wayne and t.i cos their best this year,if any body doubt send me an email to this email address:tony.blaze5119@yahoo.com then i wiil prove

Andrew  says:

okay well lil wayne doesnt deserve to be put anywhere near the top 5 best rappers leave it at that. drake does even less because he is just fake. i like how Jay-Z is still keeping the rap we all loved from the 90s alive now. Kanye West is a great rapper and entertainer. but T.I. in my opinion is the greatest. he can make a song about shootin up a hater or even rap about sensitive subjects like death and the cost of fame. Thats my opinion

IDontFlowICeiling  says:

Lupe he can rap about anythin but its usually intellectual he stays on the same subject hes been through a lot but he doesn't brag about it he can kill n e 1s beat better than they can like draks say something or lill way wit firemans yoga flame he can freestyle better than drake can write proven in say something listen 2 him n pay attention 2 the lyrics he challenges u 2 understand his messages and metaphors i swear if u listen 2 a couple of his songs ull make him ur top n u wont even b able 2 compare others 2 him n e more TRY SUM OF HIS SONS PLEASE ems great, nas, asher kinda, luda others but get every1 u no 2 listen 2 5 or more lupe fiasco songs he will be the most famous rapper ever u will like him guarentied if u pay close attention well need a new level after multi platnum

HoodRich206  says:

I like how people are ranking something so subjective. If they're good to you, they're good to you. IMO, almost every MC has SOMETHING to like about them. If you're on a label, respect--you've done something that most rappers dream of and weren't able to do.

man, in my opinion.

lyricly.

Eminem is at #1 then Game, Nas, Pac & Biggie they at my top, they're at the top of the game,(my oppinion)

but atm id have to say in general, kanye, weezy & 50 are at the top, not coz they are great rappers(i aint saying there shit, but cmon, weezy slures everything + auto tune), just because, they out to get money, bitches & radio time, so in my opinion.........FYI, i see all this talk about ti not carring on about money cars and bitches, wtf thats all i hear from him these days, back in the "ASAP" days he was iight, but man... what ever you like, fuck all that shit..

hi123  says:

Top 09 rappers?I laugh at wayne. He is probaly the most overated rapper ever . Jay z not bad , 50 cent decent , Fabs making a come back and ludacris is too. Drake dad alot of sucess.

Paul S  says:

Lil wayne is the best closely followed by eminem. dwayne doeznt even write a word his flow is his mind and when he features he makes the song better for instance "down", gayest song ever but lil waynes verse got that shit 2 number 1. Eminem is the only rapper that can rap quick an u can understand wot the fuk he is sayin an he raps bout real stuff. Jay-Z's new album is gud but only coz he has great people featurin his voice is bland as fuk. Kanye is gud but needs 2 loose the voice changer that makes him sound lyk a robot. T.I. dont make a bad song. the game is gud with wayne: my life, red magic. drake has gotta stop livin off wayne if he wants 2 be considered as great also he needs 2 drop an album.

1.lil wayne

2.eminem

3.kanye west

4.T.I.

5.Drake

6.The Game

7.young jeezy

8.50 cent

9.kid cudi

10.Jay-Z

Drake, Lil Wayne, or T.I.

Drake and T.I write about real stuff.

Not dumb stuff like weezy does sometimes.

But Weezy is good at wordplay.

And rhyming.
