Top 5: Worst Rappers Of All Time
by: Talib Nelson on Apr 15 2009
A considerable amount of time has gone into numerous debates about who is the greatest rapper of all time. Is it Biggie? Is it Pac? Rakim? KRS? No general consensus has yet been attained, so instead of joining the fray of emotions, discographies, longevity and impact on the culture, I've decided to direct all of my research, time and energy in the opposite direction. I pored over lyrics, videos and discographies for a whopping 1.5 hours to come up with this list, that has only one requirement to be eligible for consideration. You must have released at least two full length albums at the time of this writing (Sorry Magoo, you would have been a shoe in.). Without further ado here it is....my list of the 5 worst rappers of all time, based on lyrical prowess, flow, cleverness and overall wackness.
 | 5. Mike Jones Why is Mike Jones even on this list? They were plenty of unintelligible contenders for this spot, but I decided it to give it to MJ. Mostly because he spent so much time drilling his name into our memories but was so wack nobody remembered anything he ever said besides his name. I bet you $2 you can't find anybody that can actually recite a complete Mike Jones verse. |
 | 4. Puff Daddy How do you spend so much time with someone who's a contender for the title of the greatest to ever do it and learn nothing? The man uses ghostwriters but still ends up with verses like this: "It's ridiculous, how you put your lips on this |
 | 3. Jermaine Dupri This dude once said that if he put his mind to it he could be up there with Jay Z and Nas lyrically. I guess his mind has been elsewhere ever since then. "I'm the M.B.P., Most Ballin-ist Player |
 | 2. Shaquille O'Neal In case you missed it Shaq has released no less than 5 full length albums, (I stopped counting at 5) not including the all important best of album. I guess having millions of dollars from playing basketball will do that for you. There were a lot of other wack ball players turned rappers.....Kobe, C Webb, Dana Barros etc. but Shaq was the godfather of them all. "you better than Shaq-tack, fool, shut up liar, He did earn some cool points from me though for his recent freestyle about Kobe |
 | 1. Vanilla Ice Don't even pretend to be surprised by this. As the pendant on his necklace confirms, he has the number 1 spot locked down, in fact I'm not sure he can ever be dethroned. Do I really even need to explain his presence here? Go ninja, go ninja, go... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFLGRidfFo4 This guy was so horrible every white rapper since has had to prove he isn't Vanilla Ice before they are allowed into the game. The best part? He feels so guilty about his wackness that he has officially apologized to the world for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbAUi7savsk |
