Fantano Best Rapper Bracket 

XD

ah yes, the classic case of "unstoppable force meets very, very movable object"

@@BenHagenhoffThis actually made me laugh out loud

“I’m like Biggy, you’re like Drake” - Dunkey

Imagine if he put Ice Cube at the top on both and at the end he had to choose between Ice Cube and Ice Cube

It’s a bracket they all are lol

​@@nicholassimon1419 no dummy it was Nas vs Ice at the end of the round of 16

@@ranjeetkhoutinay4856 Stick up your ass much?

@@ranjeetkhoutinay4856 well in my defence, I’m a dummy like you said 😔

You have to admit the breakout diss track he had went hard. "Why not Whitestar?"

😂

Yeah but Rakim is black so I gotta go Tom Macdonald

@@NoahBrixProductions fair

It's like harder to say than to be honest actually

@Val Not a nuanced enough take.

its a short not how he acts "irl"

okay dredlord

@@dannylight7022 well i made that shit when i was 8 sooooo. Also i cant flame your name cuz danny brown too good

Nas should’ve won in the end, and i might put Jay and Ghost over Big

@@KuraiCelestial Exactly what I was gonna say lol

@@KuraiCelestial ? No

​@@KuraiCelestial Ghost? Maybe, but freaking Jay over Biggie??? Hell naw

@@itslvc5588 why is that far fetched?

honestly both probably top 3 for me

Biggie overrated cos he died

@@olblue3478I wonder what biggie or pacs fall off would look like. Would they be like snoop, doing commercials and live-streaming? Would they be producing people like Diddy or Kanye? It’s genuinely an interesting thought.

Nas

​@@jasonhemphill8525I mean, Nas has kept at it, so I'd have that Biggie would find his sound and keep that consistent. Pac too, but also feel that he could slide into some acting or activism work on top of that.

it’s not a bad take, you really can put those 2 neck and neck there’s no problem with either of them being number 1

RTD and LAD are just that timeless man.

3 years vs 3 decades imagine if biggie was still alive he would have way more classics than nas

I don't think i would be able to put one over the other. They both have classics and Nas dropped some fantastic albums recently but Ready To Die is probably my favorite album of all time. It's tough

@@sahajsidhu9739 but he isn’t and has not got more classics than Nas, which makes Nas the better rapper. Problem?

Cube better than nas imo

and then immediately picked ghostface over ice cube

Man spends 20 seconds deciding between two great artists and you're throwing out caps

yah lmao

@@toxpov3612 Ghostface is amazing, with his contribution to Wu Tang and his insane solo career it's no wonder he deserves that high ranking

True, but I think people are a little too dismissive of him. I think he has one of the best west coast flows and cadence to be honest

@@oklol7799 Nobody arguing that. His flow is set. I'm sure Dre would be the first to say he's more at home producing than rapping. One of the reasons if took so long for a 2001 follow up. He's got the flow I can never argue that.

That is a hot take

@@NRobbi42 i love ready to die, but i think illmatic and it was written were better. bar for bar, i think nas was a bit more profound and insightful (not to say biggie wasnt)

Right like even if it’s biggies first 2 albums vs Nas first 2 it’s still easily Nas

@@NRobbi42not a hot take. Lots of hip hop heads would AT LEAST find it to be a valid take.

Not a hot take since peak Nas is Illmatic and It Was Written, with feature verses like Verbal Intercourse and Eye for an Eye.

the lost tapes is also great. also if bootlegging wasnt a thing, i am wouldve definitely been another classic considering some of the material thats already on there, some songs off nastradamus, and also the songs from the lost tapes that were apparently meant to be in the original i am double album tracklist

Can’t forget magic! And tbh distant relatives

this is the correct take. i often think that if nas died after it was written everyone would regard him as the undisputed goat.

Nas is 1 all time for me. Or kdot

@@handleislolnastradamus and i am we’re cacaaaa

facts

facts

My top 3 is literally Pac, Nas, Big

No..... Just his hate for Cole is showing here

Yup. Just he sounds annoying af

​@@m-series7059cole is average tbf

@@void0350 😂😂😂😂average kdot fans

Dre doesn’t write much of his lyrics and he has a small discography, plus Ghost is a 1000x more of a rapper

@@Max-bm5rs yes your right its clearer if we see it that way thank you

@@Max-bm5rs sure it is!

@@KuraiCelestialI don’t think the discography was the issue because his first 2 albums were incredible classics that many rappers still haven’t reached that level

just waking up in the mornin gotta thank god

You Need More than One Ice Cube in a Drink, Maybe the Filter Felt we Needed Ice Cube Times 2

an even meaner one is ice vs 50. an even more meaner one than that is drake vs biggie. the meanest one is logic vs dmx

@@handleislol Logic v X is wild. Just setting Logic up to be annihilated.

@@andrewgreene4631 exactly. dude doesnt have a single thing on dmx

The ending was an L

Nas is way better than Biggie

@@osubucknut100 way is an overstatement. Theyre both top 3

Full of Ls. Ghostface > Biggie and Nas >>>> Biggie

Nas > Lil Wayne is an L

Future

Ya but Nas fumbled it multiple times, that’s exactly why Big wins

ehh calling Nas unstoppable in the 90s is a stretch. I am was okay, Nastradamus was garbage and the firm album was also kinda dookie. Also I feel like he failed to generate a classic in the 00s, lots of good albums, but non necessarily top class.

Nas came back tho. Literally no one has his longevity.

​@@sagafor11 Most rappers don't make a hip hop classic that will be talked about for decades after their releases. If a rapper manages to make ONE album that people STILL talk about 20-30 years later, then that rapper should consider themselves blessed. He has one definitive classic that always gets brought up when discussing the greatest hip hop albums of all time, and then another two albums that frequently gets brought up (so you could argue they can be considered classics too). If he doesn't end up with another classic in his life, he's still got 1-3 more classic albums than the majority of rappers ever get.

@@christopher399 I didn't mean it as a diss to Nas, I wouldn't even consider Illmatic as A classic, it's THE hip hop classic. The very album all others measure up to. And I believe that IWW is underrated compared to it's contemporaries. I was replying to the guys point saying Nas was "unstoppable" in the 90s and 00s, which is obviously not true, since he had a few underwhelming releases, and really no true blood classic.

Cube was on the bracket 2 times lol

Not above nas ngl but arguably above the others on rap

Not even above x tbh but FnL fire

Lupe has more better albums

He's better than Snoop Dogg.

Is it really?

Here is the thing, go compare his verses and others rappers verse and see who win.

@@leorodrigues9596 still Nas clearly

@@Mcbikey24Nah, nas gonna win in body of work. If you limited the verses by 20 you gonna start picking some not-so-amazing nas verses while the same can't be said for big. Bigge got more sauce than Nas.

@@leorodrigues9596 Nas has hundreds of incredible verses lol, idk what are u on but you clearly ain’t familiar with his music

Biggie had to die for these boys became relevant

​​@@leorodrigues9596 bro has never heard a single nas album nor a song 🎉 (Nas released illmatic 3 years before biggie was murdered, when he died nas was already relevant)

@@swaglordthe1th597 (ma man talking like he gave some exclusive info😂) Nas ain't got the sauce like biggie, but he gonna win in body of work, cuz yk...dead

@@leorodrigues9596 (I was talking like this cuz what you said makes no sense, nas was relevant before biggie's death and he still is 30 years later)

@@leorodrigues9596 if biggie didn't die he wouldn't be relevant today

Listen to Slippin

Ok ? Lmao

What does DMX do better than Lupe Fiasco?

is he not?

I would personally put Nas on a different level with how much quality he has put out throughout the years and the fact that he made one of if not the best hip-hop albums of all time.

Ghostface is the best rapper in Wu-Tang…he can be compared and is on the level of Nas..

@@ThatcherBryan Ghostface has plenty good material too, with Wu Tang and solo as well like Supreme Clientele, not a perfect discography overall but Nas has some real duds too

Nas is obviously better, i will always stand by the fact that i believe Nas is the best rapper of all time. BUT 1. He literally never said that Ghost was of Nas level 2. Ghost is the best Wu Tang member, sure he isn’t Nas level, but he is damn close, a very good case can be made to put him in top 10 rappers oat

Nas vs Ghostface is a much harder call imo. Cube is an incredibly listenable rapper but he falls behind a lot of the east coast rappers on a technical level.
