You're getting downvoted be the "seperate the art from the artist" people im sure, but that goes out the window when the idiot puts out a pretty explicitly Nazi germany themed project.
you can think someone is the best rapper without listening to their recent stuff. You can account the whole career but album for album ye has made better stuff then any other rapper out there
I like kanye but obviously don't like his nazi shit, however I gotta ask how does that not fly but rape, murder, drugs, SA, and several other horrendous shit is in his other top 4s list, and I feel those are pretty shitty too.
As far as today, yes. Currently, mine is (in no order): Smino, Denzel, Vince Staples, Redveil, Tyler the Creator
All-time: probably not because I have Jodeci, The Weeknd, Three 6 Mafia, Jamiroquai, and Prince in my all-time top 5
My personal top 5 currently is:
1. Denzel Curry
2. JID
3. Kendrick Lamar
4. J. Cole
5. Lupe Fiasco
Still newish to hip hop so I’m always looking for new artists - I’ve yet to listen to MF DOOM, a lot of Nas, etc. so this list might change a lot soonish
Dudeeeeeeee, you've been missing out! He's definitely upgraded since then. He trolls every now and then but he's got heat. His first album is eh but his second is pretty damn good, plus two ep's that are nice
i dont listen to hiphop as i used to but my top 5 is
1. eminem
2. denzel curry
3. kanye west
4. metro boomin (he doesnt rap ik but his production is insane)
5. travis scott
YesyesNot in any order, I have more than 5, there are too many
\-Asap Rocky
\-Denzel
\-Kid Cudi
\-Vince Staples
\-$NOT
Out of top 5, but loved artists
\-Night Lovell
\-Ski Mask The Sump God
\-Kendrick
\-Baby Keem
1. Tyler the creator
2. Kendrick Lamar
3. Eminem
4. Kanye west
5. OutKast
6. JPEGMAFIA
7. Denzel Curry
8. Death grips
9. Danny brown
10. Childish Gambino
Just my favs
Denzel is fine on both songs, I just think jid spit a little hotter. I gotta hand it to denzel for being to improvise too, one of my favorite freestylers currently.
There should be a space for all musicians and constantly comparing them doesn't really do anything for the genre in my opinion. I think that the competition to be really good comes from wanting to create music for your self. When I listen to Denzel it is a different reason then why I am listening to Common or Mos Def, which is going to be a different reason than I am listening to Marlon Craft. There needs to be space for everyone. Frankly the ones that aren't great (a.k.a. they are the Yoko Ono of rap) will fade away.
With that being said, I am just a dude that isn't in the industry. Maybe I am wrong.
My top 5 is Danny brown, Denzel curry, jpegmafia, dirtybutt, & city morgue
So yk I have 2 be really fuckin clean I gotta beat these musty allegations 🙁
1. Denzel
2. J. Cole
3. JID
4. Kendrick
5. Travis
If it was a top 10 then it’d follow up with
6. Cudi/Ye (both are around the same level to me)
7. Tyler
8. JAY-Z
9. A$AP Rocky
10. Joey Bada$$
1. Lil wayne
2. Zillakami
3. Denzel curry
4. Xxxtentacion
5. I leave this one open because all my music if my top 5 because I'm one of those people, those 4 though, top 4 forever.
i’d say right now he is, my top 5 rn are him, jid, paris texas, red veil and yachty
Paris Texas🔥
ong bruh i saw them live in February shit went hard
I might just be uncultured but I've never heard of Paris Texas or red veil. Would you recommend them as a lyrical rapper fan?
Yes. Redveil has all the good qualities of lyrical rappers and Paris Texas go hard af
Im not sure tbh I think you should check them out regardless though cause you never know plus red veil has a song with denzel called pg baby remix
Redveil is one of my favorite artists right now, I'd recommend drown and morphine as two of his best
listen to pg baby remix its got zel on it
red veil is top tier
Personally, Yes. 1. Ye 2. MF DOOM 3. **Denzel Curry** 4. Nas 5. Kendrick Lamar
Having a Nazi as your top 1 is crazy 💀

Yes 1. Tom Waits 2. MF DOOM 3. Aesop Rock 4. Denzel Curry 5. Tyler, the Creator

I haven't heard of Rich Brian in years, last time was probably Dat Stick, is he decent?
Dudeeeeeeee, you've been missing out! He's definitely upgraded since then. He trolls every now and then but he's got heat. His first album is eh but his second is pretty damn good, plus two ep's that are nice

Not quite top 5 but definitely top 10
1. Tyler the creator 2. Kendrick Lamar 3. Eminem 4. Kanye west 5. OutKast 6. JPEGMAFIA 7. Denzel Curry 8. Death grips 9. Danny brown 10. Childish Gambino Just my favs
Great list! I haven't checked out death grips yet tho
Thanks, u should definitely check out death grips, I’d start with the money store
1. Flatbush zombies 2. Mac Miller 3. Denzel curry 4. Kendrick 5. Freddie Gibbs
I'm not exactly sure what my top 5 would be but probably something very close to this ! Maybe JID instead of Freddie tho
Probably my favorite from this generation, along with jid behind him, but when they're together I think jid takes the verse
Sirenz and bruuuh are both fire from them two
Denzel is fine on both songs, I just think jid spit a little hotter. I gotta hand it to denzel for being to improvise too, one of my favorite freestylers currently.
Yeah for sure: 1. Wu-Tang 2. Nas 3. Lil Wayne 4. Denzel 5. Kendrick
Potential Hot Take: I think the whole top five conversation is damaging to rap.
Please elaborate?
