So here's 25 great songs by 25 rappers who are otherwise not so great. Some of these rappers were/are fine in groups or guesting on other people's records, but as solo artists they're hacks of the highest order whose recording careers deserve to be flushed down the toilet rather than go down in the history books.

ReplyDeleteMaestro Fresh Wes's first 2 albums are the exception to the Canadian rap rule. But that was eons ago haha
ReplyDeleteIf it's any consolation, British rappers are nearly as bad as Canadian rappers.
ReplyDeleteI think the Lupe + Stack Bundles song is from 2001/2002.
ReplyDeleteThanx.

I've still got a bit of love for Father Time by Saukrates. Still.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to zip these up.
ReplyDeleteDisrespectful. "Ghetto Jam" isn't even Domino's best record ("Sweet Potato Pie")
ReplyDelete"Bugatti" by Ace Hood is the most obvious one.
ReplyDeleteFair play, dismiss UK Hip Hop but that Canadia place gots some great rap music.
ReplyDeleteShit rappers/groups good in a group/good for the odd song:
ReplyDeleteCoolio
RBX
Bizarre
Lord Have Mercy
Hard 2 Obtain
Rumpletilskinz
Great list.
ReplyDeletepls don't tell any1 about my love 4 mood muzik 2
ReplyDeleteThe Tyga "Bitch Betta Have My Money" remake is pretty good, but I've also been a proud YG fan since "AIM Me", so my opinions could never be trusted.
ReplyDeleteYG has a whole bunch of jams even if he is a bit of a nebulous personality at times.
ReplyDelete7 years since 2014 my god but... "lost" is so good i find it pretty hard to believe gorilla zoe doesnt have any other good songs...?
ReplyDeleteI should probably re-check one day.
ReplyDeleteRevised my opinion on a few of these guys since this post dropped: Consequence, Loon, and Lil' Chris who went on a very nice little run shortly after.
it is pretty crazy how no matter how bad a rapper is there is always still a slight chance they might stop sucking at some point for seemingly no reason
ReplyDeleteThat's the beauty of Rap - anybody can fluke one Legit Jam™.
ReplyDeleteWell, anyone except Sage Francis and Drake.
lmao i will go to bat for "crack pipes" by sage francis...it might not be rational... the 00s great white underground rap wave got me when i was in junior high and my brain was still mushy
ReplyDeletenever drake tho
