Often described as the &quot;golden age&quot; of hip hop and rap, the 1990s introduced many rappers and rap groups that would go on to become <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-greatest-rappers-of-all-time/first-l" target="_blank">the best rappers of all time</a>.During the beginning of the decade, prominent acts and rappers like Ice Cube, LL Cool J, and Public Enemy led the charts as their fame, first established in the 1980s, continued. Each brought something new and interesting to the rap world, such as Ice Cube's 1991 release of &quot;Death Certificate,&quot; which dealt with real-world issues like racism, Los Angeles gangs, and drugs. As the decade continued, one of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-hip-hop-albums?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best rap albums of all time</a> came along in 1992. Dr. Dre's &quot;The Chronic&quot; made the now-legendary producer and rapper's name, along with the name of another up-and-coming rapper, Snoop Dogg, known around the world. Snoop and Dre represented the West Coast of the United States and alongside the late Tupac Shakur and the rest of the Death Row family, these rappers dominated the genre for the next several years. But there was another coast ready to battle for that top spot on the charts.Enter the Bad Boy family from the East Coast with top names like Sean &quot;Puff Daddy&quot; Combs and Christopher &quot;The Notorious B.I.G.&quot; Wallace. These two sides were crucial in the East Coast-West Coast rap rivalry that not only produced some of the top rap music of the decade but also ultimately ended the lives of 2Pac and Biggie, as both were tragically murdered.All of these rappers and their music influenced and ushered in a new generation of rappers, the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-_00s-rappers/whatevayoulike " target="_blank">best rappers of the 2000s</a>, and put up a good fight for the best decade for rap music ever.

Who Run the World?

Responsible for some of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-rap-songs-2020/music-lover" target="_blank">hottest tracks of 2020</a>,&nbsp;these women rappers and MCs know how to handle a mic. Since the early days of hip-hop, women took&nbsp;part in crafting the genre&#39;s overall tone and sound. Though hip-hop music is commonly associated with a glorification of male-exclusive camaraderie, women MCs help to break that mold, off-setting more men-centric attitudes with a steely, seen-it-all perspective of their own. Some women rappers&nbsp;make up a part of a successful rap group, such as Digable Planets or Salt-N-Pepa. But just as often, the best female rappers&nbsp;pursue their own solo rap careers, sometimes with the assistance or stewardship of an established&nbsp;rap act. (For example, Bahamadia got an early boost in the &#39;90s from Gang Starr&#39;s Guru. Lil&#39; Kim, as well, was mentored in the rap game by none other than the late Biggie Smalls himself.)

Who are the best women rappers out there? As of today, more and more women hip-hop acts generate&nbsp;just as much buzz for new releases as men. So much so, in fact, that acts like Cardi B are now scoring the top-charting singles around. Girl power, indeed.

Update: <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-rap-songs-2020/music-lover" target="_blank">Dive into the best new hip hop with our list of 2020&#39;s top rap songs</a>.

The best &#39;00s rappers include any and all worthy artists who influenced hip-hop music between 2000 and 2010. This decade brought with it some of the most talented rappers the music world has ever seen, including the likes of Lil&#39; Wayne, Rock Ross, Nas, and Nelly. (Head over to the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/top-20-new-school-rappers/ranker-music" target="_blank">best new school rappers</a> if you&#39;re looking for Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and other great 2010s rappers). Some rappers on this list were also fantastic in the 90s, but continued to be extremely relevant during subsequent years and remained top artists of 2000s&nbsp;hip hop. Agree with the choices on this best &#39;00s rappers list? Vote them up! Obviously, you can also vote down those artists you don&#39;t think deserve to be listed.&nbsp;If you have a particular favorite rapper from the &#39;00s that isn&#39;t on this list, by all means, add away!

Rap music skyrocketed to popularity in the 2000s, with artists like Eminem leading the way, as the genre went totally mainstream. In addition, the &#39;00s saw a whole slew of cross-over rap artists charting, including the likes of OutKast and Gnarls Barkley. Some of the biggest selling albums of this decade were rap albums, including Jay-Z&#39;s Blueprint&nbsp;albums, Nelly&#39;s Country Grammer,&nbsp;and 2000&#39;s The Marshall Mathers LP&nbsp;by Eminem (produced by Dr. Dre). Diddy, formerly known as Puff Daddy in the 90s (and formally known as Sean Combs), released the album The Saga Continues... as &quot;P. Diddy&quot; in 2001 and, after changing his stage name (again) to just &quot;Diddy,&quot; he released the wildly popular album Press Play&nbsp;in 2006. And, while Ludacris released his first album in the 90s, his major label debut came in 2000 with Back for the First Time.&nbsp;He followed that up with 2001&#39;s Word of Mouf&nbsp;-- thus, earning a spot on this list of the best rappers of the 2000s.

And of course, no discussion of the best &#39;00 rappers would be complete without a mention of Kanye West. West produced for others during the 90s and early 2000s, but in 2004, with the release of his debut album, The College Dropout,&nbsp;Kanye became a huge commercial success. The College Dropout&nbsp;established West as one of the most talented rappers/hip hop artists of the decade.

Yes, it&#39;s easy to put together a list of the best &#39;00s rappers with names like Eminem, Kanye West and Jay-Z, but digging a little deeper produces some outstanding artists like Talib Kweli and Jadakiss. Who do you think are the best artists of 2000s&nbsp;hip hop? Cast your votes below and be sure to add any rappers who may be missing.

The best dressed rappers are the top names in rap and his hop music who are consistently looking sharp when they&#39;re on the red carpet, being photographed for magazines or performing in their videos. These rappers are rich and famous, but also have some of the best style in all of music today. Just like each of these rappers has their own unique sense of style, we&#39;re all entitled to our own opinion of which rapper is the best dressed of them all. Vote for the rapper&#39;s style you like best or add that rapper below!

While his style is not for everyone, according to Complex magazine, Kanye West leads all other rappers on the best dressed list. The publication, in conjunction with Nah Right, put 64 of the most dapper rappers through a bracket-style competition to determine which was the most stylish. Defeating several other very chic rappers along the way, Kanye West was victorious.

Like Kanye, many of the other elite rappers among the best dressed don&#39;t just make <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-rap-songs-2020/music-lover" target="_blank">great rap songs</a>, but also make their own clothing with clothing lines nearly as successful as their music. Jay-Z&#39;s Rocawear and Diddy&#39;s Sean John are two of the most well known clothing lines and wildly successful as fans of both rappers get the chance to dress like their favorites by purchasing the clothes designed by their icons.

Who are the best dressed rappers? Mainstream celebrities, rappers included, are constantly under the scrutinizing eyes of paparazzi, critics and fans but these stylish rappers have consistently earned praise for their fabulous fashion choices. It shouldn&#39;t be a surprise that these are also some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/wealthiest-rapper-ceos-and-entrepreneurs/whatevayoulike">richest rappers</a> in the world. Wealth, fame and dashing style, sounds like a perfect combination to me. These good looking rappers have their outfit game on lock. Whose looks are your favorite? Vote below!

The number of Asian rappers has grown exponentially over the last few decades, and they&#39;re making some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-korean-hip-hop-songs-2019/ranker-music" target="_blank">best Korean rap songs of 2019</a>.&nbsp;Luckily for us &ndash;Asian hip hop artists, and many <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/all-88rising-members-ranked/ranker-music" target="_blank">popular 88rising artists</a>,&nbsp;are some of the best rappers in the game today.&nbsp;In America, Asian rappers have been virtually ignored by record companies and radio stations even as rap has become a global form of expression spawning unique Japanese, Korean, and Chinese hip hop scenes. However, rappers from Asia were not content to remain silent and &ndash;&nbsp;with the advent of the internet &ndash; took matters into their own hands. (Dumbfoundead, for example, is a Korean American rapper with a huge YouTube following and has been seen on several best lists.)&nbsp;

Thanks to their drive, know-how, and knack for self-promotion, a thriving Asian hip hop culture currently exists. Here are some of the best in Asian Rap. Who is your favorite? Who is the best Asian rapper?

For every decent, innovative rapper out there, there are several copycat artists that bring nothing to the table. Below, you&#39;ll find who many feel&nbsp;are the worst of the worst in the genre. Sure, these&nbsp;best of and worst of lists are subjective, but plenty of us can agree on who the wack rappers are. What some&nbsp;feel is the bottom of the barrel, you might think is pretty great. On the other hand, rappers like Vanilla Ice, Marky Mark, and The Insane Clown Posse have been, for the most part, universally panned over the years. Sales have nothing to do with it either. While researching this list we&rsquo;ve discovered there are some million-selling artists like Iggy Azalea, Drake and Nikki Minaj that are pretty polarizing among hip hop aficionados.

We need your input. Who, to you, is the worst rapper out there? Who is the worst white rapper? Which artist made the stupidest rap ever? Who do you think are the 100 worst rappers, or even the top 10? Take a look at the list of bad rappers below and cast your votes accordingly.&nbsp;And, if you need a chaser after this list, dive into the best new hip hop with our list of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-rap-songs-2020/music-lover" target="_blank">2020&#39;s top rap songs</a>.

Finally, a definitive list of the best rappers of all time, ranked by fans all over the world. From old school&nbsp;to the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-rappers-2022/jared-baly" target="_blank">current top rappers</a> putting out&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/new-rap-songs-2022/jared-baly" target="_blank">today&#39;s biggest hip hop hits</a>, this list counts down rap&#39;s best lyricists and game changers in history. Lil&#39; Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Eminem, Andre 3000, and Tupac&nbsp;are among the top hip-hop artists that appear on this amazing countdown. Famous rappers from all cities, dead or alive, and all races, from white and Black to Asian and Hispanic, are all vying to be crowned the greatest rapper ever.

What makes a rapper great? There are a number of differing good definitions and philosophies. Popular rapper J. Cole (who finds himself on the Ultimate List below) cites consistency as the most important attribute, and says it&#39;s important to look both for the big humorous &quot;punch&quot; lines as well as the underlying message of the rapper&#39;s songs. Nas (another iconic MC featured on the list) focuses as well on the meaning of the songs, as well as the scale and ambition of the rapper&#39;s narratives and storytelling. (He has also gone on the record as saying that there is no such thing as the &quot;best rapper&quot; or &quot;Greatest of All Time&quot; aka &quot;GOAT.&quot; Including influential rappers and best-selling artists, this list features successful MCs who are still considered some of the hottest names in the game today.&nbsp;

Numerous different skills and attributes all must come together to make a truly legendary MC. Obviously, a good rapper must display a sense of rhythm and an ability to compliment the beat in unpredictable and exciting ways. A gift for lyricism and vocabulary is similarly essential - you can have the flow of the century, but if the words don&#39;t come together to tell a compelling story or present a unique point of view, it&#39;s still not going to translate into a great hip-hop song. But of course there&#39;s also an intangible element that elevates some modern rappers into the ranks of the greatest of all time. Who are these&nbsp;rap legends&nbsp;who stand heads above the competition? Do you agree with the top 50 biggest rappers ever?&nbsp;You tell us, by voting for your favorites below or ranking your own list of top rappers of all time.
