5.) If you like rap music that's all about just having fun and living a pleasurable life, check out the music of Mase. He's a little old school, but he recently had an album back in 2005 that was a feel good summer anthem. This rapper gave up his unruly ways and became a preacher in the 90's. His music followed him and he began to make songs about just enjoying life instead of partying and what not.
4.) Although all of his songs may not live up to genuinity, T.I. has a smooth southern style with some meaningful lyrics. His songs give listeners a firsthand view of the "hood" as he sees it and all of the struggles he's gone through. Sometimes he does resort to stereotypical rap to fill up spot on his albums, so he'll hold the position of number 4.
3.) Kanye West may be one of the best rappers of all time. He integrates so many styles of music with rap to create his unique sound. He also remixes old school beats to his fresh new words and makes a sound identifiable with only him.
2.) Common has been in the game as long as I can remember. He's had such a strong influence on rap music as a whole. As "gangsta rap" was gaining popularity, he brought genuine lyrics of hope back into the scene.
1.) Who's the greatest rapper of genuinity? He's the best rapper for creative lyrics, and he may also be the best rapper to ever take the mic. Andre 3000 began his career as the hip hop duo OutKast along with friend Big Boi. He's covered nearly every topic of interest in his songs, ranging from Hollywood divorces to Bombs in Iraq. If you just listen to one of his songs, you'll know for sure, Andre 3000 is one of the best rappers alive- and he's got a real message.
