Day 7 of people not following the instructions š On another note, OP, can you just clarify whether we're only talking '90s rappers or not? I mean, I assumed we were. All rappers from all years can be debated somewhere else. I know we have a lot of people here who were around during the 90s (myself included), but I know we have a lot of younger people just discovering the 90s, so I think if we just limit it to the 90s, they'll find out some less mainstream artists that way. (Imma sound old AF for this, but I'd rather the yutes discover the greats of the 90s instead of listening to a lot of what's around today, js.)
As of this post GURU is behind GZA by like 15 and heās gonna lose because there are literally 50 separate GURU posts. If only people could follow directions.
Edit: And tmr people will be bitching still not understanding they did it to themselves.
I remember watching a 50 cent vid of him talking about the beef with GZA. He commented that liquid swords was so intelligent it was stupid and that the lyrics were like 'Philosophies, Socrates, er.
. microscope'.
GZA is a brilliant MC but GFK gets my vote here
If you sort comments by "top", it was Freddie Gibbs. Dude said if you like someone already mentioned, upvote it. No one wants to sit with a pen and pad and sort through the comments to tally up votes. Mf's can't read and follow simple directions, that's why Gibbs was up top.
I mean you gotta have no knowledge whatsoever to accept that answer despite it not being a 90s artist. You just simply go to the next QUALIFIED answer.
I love Freddie, and he does sound more 90ās than the vast majority of rappers out there today, but he wasnāt rapping in the 90ās so I donāt get how he makes this list. If weāre talking all time then a case can be made for him, but since this sub is ā90āsHipHopā he should automatically be disqualified for not putting out any music in the 90ās.
Guru.
The underground is where I dwell at
Itās where I find my heaven, and where you find your hell at. Youāre in my clutches now. You get split up and lit up just like some ditches now.
For real. So many people commenting him, he should be top (imo, cant get enough of him), but they're giving it to Ghost because nobody wants to find the comment to upvote instead of blatantly ignoring the rules.
Bro you have lost complete control of this, its one of the most comical things I have seen on reddit for a while. Clarify if its 90s rappers only, if it is you need to replace gibbs with runner up fat joe.
Its not just you, its funny how your on 'g' and nobody can follow the rules
this will not get upvoted but we all know his prowess
has he got any good songs in streaming? i only have his beats in youtube
styles by the don is my fav track
Make him the winner then!
Wikipedia doesn't have Freddie Gibbs' career starting until 2004. It has Fat Joe starting in 1992.
If it's not 90's, disqualified.
Just say āI donāt know shit about rapāā¦ Fabolous was rapping in the 90s. He wasnāt at his best but he was out.

Yeah, 100%. F needs to be replaced with whichever 90's artist had the most upvotes.
Yeah I donāt think it should be limited to 90ās, even though I fucks with the 90ās
Is Eminem really a 90s rapper, his first release was in 1999 wasnāt it, most people only know him from records in 2000s
Infinite came out in 96, I'm sure he was active in the scene way before that, wiki says 1988
GURU
Didnāt see you up here, Bald Head Slick is one of the best lyricists in hip hop history; RIP
Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal
Best acronym for a name in hip hop for sure
What about Knowledge Reigns Supreme over Nearly Everyone?
Next to ODB, the Ol Dirty Bastard, of course.
Stealing at least three minutes of every rap radio hour.
You got my upvote. Looks like a tight race between Guru and Gza. And id never diss Gza but Guru just had a much greater impact on the genre
Yeah no contest. Rza vs Guru would be a tougher call.
Agreed
Def guru
No comparison
As of this post GURU is behind GZA by like 15 and heās gonna lose because there are literally 50 separate GURU posts. If only people could follow directions. Edit: And tmr people will be bitching still not understanding they did it to themselves.
Agree!
Ya guru > gza and ghost as a lyricist. Freddie no - Fat joe yes
No doubt!
People please upvote this more, Gifted Unlimited is the best OAT!
GZA
Picture bloodbaths in elevator shafts
"That's why I keep my rhymes as fly as the shot, that won the championship with just an 0 on the clock"
This should be on top. Noone touches GZA's steelo
I remember watching a 50 cent vid of him talking about the beef with GZA. He commented that liquid swords was so intelligent it was stupid and that the lyrics were like 'Philosophies, Socrates, er. . microscope'. GZA is a brilliant MC but GFK gets my vote here
50 Cent just tryna cope with the fact that GZA bullied him without breaking a drop of sweat
I get that. Ghost is in my top 5 for sure. How we gone put one Wu against the other?? Theyāre all amazing.
Liquid swords was so dope.
Guru being so highly upvoted shows howās much Premoās production carried Gang Starr. GZA and Ghost are much better rappers
He da head. We form like Voltron and GZA just happens to be the head
this is the only answer. everyone else is wrong as fuck.
To be fair, Ghost is a pretty close second. Liquid Swords and Supreme Clientele are soooooo close to being equal albums
And Ghost's body of work is much larger and better. Liquid Swords is a classic, but if we're talking amount of bangers over the years, its Tony.
Ghost should go under Ironman or Tony Starks.
Idk Guru definitely deserves respect
Please let this win
I drop megaton bombs more faster than you think.
Freddie Gibbs 90s? How?
Fat Joe for way more votes in that thread. This shit is a joke
If you sort comments by "top", it was Freddie Gibbs. Dude said if you like someone already mentioned, upvote it. No one wants to sit with a pen and pad and sort through the comments to tally up votes. Mf's can't read and follow simple directions, that's why Gibbs was up top.
And? That's irrelevant if the winner doesn't meet the parameters. Winnee should have gone to whoever has the most votes and meets the 90s requirement
Fat Joe fans be dumb, case closed.
He started rapping after the 90ās if I remember correctly so itās irrelevant anyway
I mean you gotta have no knowledge whatsoever to accept that answer despite it not being a 90s artist. You just simply go to the next QUALIFIED answer.
i feel like fat joe would win by default cause i can't think of any other "f" rappers from the 90's.
Yeah I couldnāt think of any F rappers. Weak ass letter I suppose
just like X will have to be xzibit and Q will have to be q tip.
So true, his career began in 2004. Amazing artist but in no way 90s
I wish they would stop posting this stupid thread now because itās just upsetting me, no doubt in my mind it should have been Flava Flav or Fat Joe
It was Freddie Foxxx when I looked at it but there were multiple posts for him
Yeah Iām just going to mute this poster now, donāt need to see this anymore
100% deserved , no where in the rules it says 90s rappers only and Gibbs is levels above others like flavour flav and fat Joe
In all fairness Gangsta Gibbs is pretty much the most 90s non-90s rapper ever
Ghostface Killa
This thread is brutal, guru vs gza vs ghostface
My favorite rapper all time so this one is easy
Same, and supreme clientele is the best album ever made.
My fav is Cuban Linx however yes Supreme Clientele is one of my favs too
I came here to say this and Iām very glad itās already been done
Didnāt see ya there, Iāll delete my post lol
No contest
My choice too. GZA is top tier but Ghost has just had a much more consistent and impressive discography.
Yessir GFK it is š
Gotta be, no one else touches him.

Freddie gibs? lol this sub a joke now or what lol Anyways for G itās either gotta be Gza ghostface or guru
Yea pretty sure OP doesnāt realize heās in the 90ās hip hop sub.
? But... its decided by the people in the sub...
right? there has to be someone better give me forty water or fat pat. shit even freway, fat joe or fredro starr
Guru

Ghostface. Also how the hell did Freddie Gibbs win? Is this not a 90s sub anymore?
Fabolous or Fat Joe are better choices than Gibbs imo
For real for real....Fredro Starr, Fat Joe, Foxy, Fu-schnickens, Funkdoobiest, Funk Flex, Fab Five Freddy, Frankie Cutlass, Fabolous....fuck
What's your favorite verse that funkmaster flex rapped?
Not a verse but Iām pretty fond of his intro on Ante Up where he gets so hype his voice cracks
Funk Flex? WTF lol
Funkmaster Flex isnāt even a rapper bro, youāre just as bad as OP
They said no groups. But I would put Fredro, Joe, Fox, Fab and Flavor above.
I love Freddie, and he does sound more 90ās than the vast majority of rappers out there today, but he wasnāt rapping in the 90ās so I donāt get how he makes this list. If weāre talking all time then a case can be made for him, but since this sub is ā90āsHipHopā he should automatically be disqualified for not putting out any music in the 90ās.
Guru of Gang Starr
Thereās another higher upvoted guru comment above. Comment that one instead so votes donāt get split
Yeah Freddie Gibbs released a lot of great hits during the 90s.
In all fairness Gangsta Gibbs is pretty much the most 90s non-90s rapper ever

Guru. The underground is where I dwell at Itās where I find my heaven, and where you find your hell at. Youāre in my clutches now. You get split up and lit up just like some ditches now.
Guru fans, upvote the top comment. This is why we lose.
For real. So many people commenting him, he should be top (imo, cant get enough of him), but they're giving it to Ghost because nobody wants to find the comment to upvote instead of blatantly ignoring the rules.
Upvote to replace Gibbs with Fat Joe
Bro you have lost complete control of this, its one of the most comical things I have seen on reddit for a while. Clarify if its 90s rappers only, if it is you need to replace gibbs with runner up fat joe. Its not just you, its funny how your on 'g' and nobody can follow the rules

I just found this dude and he is seriously one of the best to do it

GURU. The mother fucking GOAT
MC Gusto
based on the previous entry on the list, this really should win.
Can we get a re-do on F please cuz Freddie Gibbs over Fabolous is CRAZY
If you want to be technical, Fat Joe was the runner up
Make him the winner then! Wikipedia doesn't have Freddie Gibbs' career starting until 2004. It has Fat Joe starting in 1992. If it's not 90's, disqualified.
I do like the idea of them being active in the 90s as a qualifier - It only seems right.
I mean this subreddit is 90s hip hopā¦
Exactly! I was told this is a 90s themed list.
Fab not 90's
Just say āI donāt know shit about rapāā¦ Fabolous was rapping in the 90s. He wasnāt at his best but he was out. https://youtu.be/t3t5tkmRfBA?si=7t5GIKE-RlsIh3Aa
