 What's up everybody takedown here welcome back to the channel today I'm gonna be sharing with you the top rappers that I listen to these aren't necessarily the top rappers in the world They're just the top rappers that I listen to on a regular basis. So let's just get right into it Okay, so I'm gonna start off strong with Dr. J In my opinion anybody who listens to rap music probably heard of Dr. J Dr. J is an amazing artist on his own He's also the person who discovered Eminem who is in my opinion one of the greatest rappers of all time a few years ago, he was also inducted into the Hall of Fame with the rap group NWA and he has also had some success on His own with songs like still Dre forgot about Dre and I need a doctor. He is one of my favorite rappers of all time That's why I had to include him on this list Next up is somebody that maybe not everybody will agree with me here But it is a con the reason he's on my list is because he can go from really soft and sweet to a hardcore rap Really quick a lot of his songs. I'm a huge fan of I can honestly relate with a lot of stuff He says in his songs a lot of his songs in my opinion are genius and they are a good vibe To me that makes for a good artist right there. He also has a very unique accent which makes his voice Really interesting. It makes me honestly want to listen to more sadly though. He doesn't do much music anymore He is mainly a producer right now and he's finding a lot more talent So a con is the one that discovered Lady Gaga and to me that is pretty interesting Even though I'm not into her type of music It is pretty cool when an artist can discover another great artists next up We have proof honestly, I've always been a huge fan of proof sadly He died years ago if it wasn't for that one night. I honestly believe that proof Probably would have been the next big artist. He was really good in his songs He really knew how to tell a story. He could rhyme two words that don't usually rhyme together He could put them in a verse make it make sense and make them rhyme. It was really interesting what he did He had a lot of genius wraps a lot of things He said were really really cool and it made you stop and think of what he just said I strongly believe if it wasn't for his death He either on his own as a single rapper. He would have probably separated from D12 He could have done his own thing and been really successful at that or him and Eminem could have probably teamed up And they would have had a great success there But he is on my list because he is one of my favorite rappers, you know, he did die years ago He is an amazing rapper and I think he would have done amazing in today's day and age Next we have machine gun Kelly MGK honestly I used to not like his music back in the day, but it honestly grew on me I'm a huge fan of MGK right now. He's an amazing rapper a lot of his songs I can also relate to a lot of the messages and a lot of things he tries to say So that's why I'm a huge fan of his a lot of his songs are meaningful They can go from really cool interesting almost like a pop vibe But then it can go right back into the rapping and he is an amazing rapper He knows how to put out the verses So that's why I had to include him on my list as well an amazing artist somebody that I honestly look up to And it's really interesting the stuff he can come up with on his own. It's really cool in my opinion Okay, so next up this one here I know a lot of people probably won't agree with and that is Mike Shinoda You might be unaware that Mike Shinoda was Fort Minor That was kind of his persona for his rapper name back whenever he was doing the rap gimmick and with producing rap songs But he still did a lot of his rapping in that in Lincoln Park And as I've already mentioned before Lincoln Park is one of my favorite bands because they were very diverse They could go from a really catchy pop song to a really meaningful rap song and literally everything in between and Mike Shinoda did a great job when in Lincoln Park I think it's pretty interesting that he can go from really soft in his songs to Wrapping full out rapping which is amazing. It's great to have somebody that can transition into that in the same song And it's really meaningful So of course he's one of my favorite rappers of all time a lot of people probably don't agree with me But he's somebody that I can listen to on end song after song and it's really amazing for me Next up I have a Canadian artist which a lot of fans of rap music probably never heard of and that is up first is Mercurly's Mercurly's has quite a few cover songs where he'll take a nice beat of a song that has already come out And he will rap over it and he'll kind of put his thoughts and opinions Into whatever scenario of rap it was or whatever kind of scenario the song was It's really interesting. He did a cover for Ed Sheeran's Shape of You Which is one of my favorite covers that Mercurly's has ever done. It is a really good vibe I recommend listening to it, but he's also done stuff on his own He has his own original raps and it is amazing. He's a great artist I recommend checking him out if you have not heard of him next up. We have another Canadian artist Classified I can be honest when I say his newest album. I am not a fan of as of right now I hope to really listen to it in fall whenever the whole thing comes out But some of the songs on it so far are not a vibe with me They do not sound like him, but a lot of his music is amazing. He knows how to rap He knows how to put things together and he is very interesting. So I recommend checking him out Like I said, he is Canadian. He knows what he is doing and he's an artist who I've always looked up to I've always started purchasing his music a couple years ago. I actually discovered him a couple years ago when in high school He's very very talented He knows kind of what he is doing and it's really amazing that another Canadian is doing it Next up is a another Canadian Snacks the Ripper. I know a lot of people probably just hear the name and they do not want to listen to him But I do recommend checking them out He is honestly genius when it comes to his raps and his verses He has a very unique and raspy voice Which makes me really want to come back and listen to more just because of how unique it is a lot of stuff He says in his songs are really cool and unique messages. His father passed away I believe it was last year and he made a song called Ash is about it And it brings out a lot of emotions of what he was going through at the time Recently he had his first child and he made a rap song about everything that was going on at the time So a lot of his raps are meaningful and I do recommend checking them out They're pretty interesting and I'm a huge fan of Snack the Ripper Next up is literally the only female rapper that I listen to and it is Nova Rockefeller She is an amazing Talented woman. She knows how to rap and she's really good at it Nova does it in such a way that everything makes sense and honestly she can honestly out wrap quite a few rappers She is an amazing talented woman. She is an amazing artist. I do love listening to her I do have a lot of her stuff on iTunes. So I recommend if you never heard of her Checking her out. She is drop-dead gorgeous. So that is a bonus But her music makes a lot of sense to me and I can resonate with it because of that So last up in my opinion is the greatest rapper of all freaking time a lot of people already know because I've already said this before and that is Eminem Eminem in my opinion is the greatest rapper of all time. He always will be he always has been I know a lot of people would rather see other people ahead of him, but in my opinion, I don't think he's going anywhere I know a revival was a little bit of a touchy album whenever he released it last year, but I think he's doing a really good job I think he's not done with rap. I hope he's not done with rap. I hope he continues for years He's had so many hits. He's had so many albums I don't know why he would stop now But it might because of the money because he has a lot of money in my opinion He doesn't need to continue with the rap, but he does such a freaking good job He was the first white rapper to really make such a huge impact and make people want to listen in my opinion He's the best white rapper out there Hands down and he's also the best rapper out there hands down in my opinion. These are all my opinions I am entitled to them. However, I do want to hear what you guys think down in the comments Let me know have you guys heard of everybody I just mentioned is there somebody that you guys think I haven't heard of that you guys think I should check out Recommend them down in the comments as well, but these are the top artists I listened to there was so many I could have put on this list But that would have literally been an hour long video and I did not want to do that to you guys, so I Am leaving this video here. I hope you guys did enjoy like I said, let me know down in the comments What you guys think did you like this style of video should I do another one with other artists? Let me know and I'll see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace
