The greatest rap artists of all time are still surprisingly young, which makes sense given how young the genre is itself. But don't let their age fool you. These rap artists changed the music world forever with their rhymes and beats and made the world take notice of the rising art form of rap. Here's a list recognizing the top ten rap artists of all time.
Number Ten: Dr. Dre
If you haven't seen Straight Outta Compton then you need to. This movie goes on to show the genius that is Dr. Dre when it comes to rap and creating beats that fans and artists alike fall in love with. His talent is unparalleled when it comes to laying down a beat you won't want to stop hearing and he helped mentor some other rappers on this list to get them where they …show more content…
This Chi-town native broke onto the rap scene years ago and is still making hits that top the charts. His ability to constantly push himself and create new art in the rap world is impressive.

Number Seven: Kendrick Lamar
He may be young and new to the rapping scene, but you can't deny Kendrick's talent when it comes to writing, rapping, and performing.

I may be a bit biased as a Bed-Stuy native, but Biggie is by far the greatest rapper of all time. Not only did he make hit after hit early on in his short-lived career, but he never dropped a bad song or verse. Biggie Smalls was always on point.
