Rakim was more pivotal than the rest. He changed the game into what it is today. He made it to where MC’s would go back and put thought into their rhymes, also he sounded totally different than what they sounded like back then. Rappers after Rakim weren’t scared anymore to come out with different styles because rakim broke that mold. Listen to anyone in 1986. Then listen to rakim in 1986. They all had that rundmc/melle Mel/koolmoedee/llcoolj type of flow. Rakim in one day made them sound old school. He was maybe still is the freshest one to ever come out.

My personal 5 no order Pac, Em, Kendrick, Jay, Wayne. Those 5 I can listen to just about any tape or album from them and love it. In 2022 I STILL listen to the 5 names I mentioned. Honestly I believe Rakims fire died out a bit too fast. He was heading into Pacs level 100% but he dropped off way faster than Jay, Em or Wayne. You can say KRS, meth, Redman, Biggie etc but I personally never really bumped them besides Biggie and some Wutang joints.

Being from Ireland 🇮🇪. I love these videos because I get to search for people I’ve never heard of. Rakim was a great shout out. My first taste of the music was a cassette tape of NWA when I was 10. Hooked. Music is the best way to share culture. Check out traditional Irish music, different but some amazing stuff. The great thing is a top 5 is nearly impossible because there are so many greats. So my humble top 5 not set in stone to be fair: 1. Tupac 2. Dmx 3. Chuck D 4.Eminem 5. Ice Cube And a shoutout to biggie, methodman and red man

[@D00MTR33]

My top 5 would be 2Pac, Biggie, Nas, Jay and Em for the effect and influence they had on hip hop. My favorite 5 would be El-p, Slug of Atmosphere, MF DOOM, 2Pac and Brotha Lynch since they're the artists I like the most and enjoyed in all my time listening to hip hop. Honorable mentions to everyone in the Wu, Outcast, Kanye, Mos Def, Kweli, P Monch, Black Thought and the Roots, Sean Price and BCC crew, Little Brother and Justus League, Jean Grae, Brother Ali, Aesop rock, Evidence, all of Doomtree, Common. Too many other greats to mention.

[@FallaciesofRelevance]

black thought, andre 3000, rakim, MF DOOM, jean grae are my personal 5 favorites. i won't say "greatest" because that's hard to quantify, but those are the 5 who are very skilled and i enjoy listening to them.

[@Murmurrr]

You just said it. “Skilled.” You have to factor in impact and influence. “Skilled” or technical rap is niche, and will generally never be super popular unless you make things catchy. People aren’t alway trying to be analytical with their music. Music that affects your emotions will always be more popular and influential. Simplicity with the complexity. All your picks are classic nerdy hip hop choices.

[@FallaciesofRelevance]
