From an American standpoint, Stogie T is the clear cut winner, with a tie for second with Blaqbonez and Navio. In my humble opinion, Stogie T is the best in Africa hands down with no close second. If I had to rank them: 1. Stogie T 2. Khaligraph Jones 3. Kao Denero 4. Mode 9 5. Manifest 6. MI Abaga 7. Cassper Nyovest 8. Sarkodie 9. Lyrical Joe 10. Nasty C 11. Vector 12. Jesse Jagz 13. Kwesta 14. Blaqbonez 15. AQ - There are a lot of honorable mentions like Falz, Ice Prince, Jovi, Navio, AKA, Shane Eagle, A-Reece and Emtee. Proverb could easy be on this list, he's one of the greatest lyricist of all-time, however he's been inactive for a few years and only been doing only features and cyphers. But nobody can touch Stogie T aka Tumi Molekane, he is the king of Africa hip hop.
I'm sure you'll rearrange your list by the time you listen to Shadow Boxxer (from Sierra Leone). That cat is a lyrical beast on a whole different level. By the way, I'm a Nigerian and I live in Nigeria! So you know I ain't biased at all. After him, we can start talking bout MI, Stogie T, Payper Corleone, Sarkodie, Boogie, Manifest etc. Take time to listen to his MI diss: "MI was"
Don't campare Stogie to these kids...Am a Manifan(M.anifest Fan)... But Stogie As at now is the rapper in Africa after M.anifest He's an OG compare him to Proverbs den HHP dems
I'm a South African. I was gonna go 4 Navio. Maar yo Stogie T damn. I'm in South Africa, I don't know him. His level is higher than I know know human high. Let me run and go search him. Wow...!!!
Chack out his latest Album, "empire of sheep" i am really really suprised that you dont know stogie t though. Maybe you knew him as tumi and the volume back in the early 2000s.
This was not a fair comparison, I count at least 7 real rappers in Africa. There's Stogie t, proverb, golden shavel, Neoto C, M.I, sakodie, and manifest. Don't put Stogie in the same category with rappers like these. Especially the one with shades. His definitely very far from being even close to African best rapper. He needs to improve his pen game by 100%
The the best African rappers are in Ghana,these are students and needs to schooled in the rape game,they may confront Lyrical Joe who is an underground rapper in Ghana.
The only rappers I respect from Ghana are Sarkodie, M.anifest and Lyrical Joe. Anyone else is not to the level. Am a Kenyan and i can attest to you that we have underground rappers who are fire. I know you only know Khaligraph Jones there are tens of underground rappers who can spit.. Watch "Khali cartel 1,2 and 3" and you can understand what I mean.
Bro bro..I respectfully appreciate what you doing its dope ...rappers are fire but all I heard was me this , me that, ...f.. you ....slap that... , full stop. Go back listen to STOGIE T. All bars are facts , actually very line is a bar pure history lesson people are sleeping on. "Who sayn I can't hang on camera "sadam hanged on camera" Elon musk charge the whip "South African born inventor TELSA CARS " write above their heads" Anne frank wrote her diary above the enemy heads hidden on ceiling top above the enemy, three months without moving or talking.. I can say a lot bra ...from line to line.... anyway Never put an O.G with with students period.
You just chose to use one of Navio's weakest songs to compare him to these kids!...you should choose from songs like Ngalo, Keep moving, rakus, up down, ayaya...
