Finally, at the end, there are still more rappers who have what it takes but need a bit more time for refinement and maturity. We’ll start with the top 10 best rappers of all time, then we’ll move on to the runners-up who are real close to breaking into the list. That means we’re analyzing advanced rhyme schemes, multisyllabic rhyming, keeping the lyrics sensible while dancing through these technicalities, and also being genuine and authentic in their messaging. They need to have been on the scene long enough to prove they can stay consistent, too. All we care about is pure, technical skill levels, regardless of whether they’re on a major label or an independent outfit. It doesn’t matter who calls themselves the G.O.A.T.

It doesn’t give bonus respect points to those who are old school. This list doesn’t care about who’s popular.

“Who makes the list of the best rappers of all time?” Everyone has an opinion and it’s usually based on popularity instead of skill. Every rap fan has had this conversation… heck, it’s probably exploded into a full-blown argument.
