Last week on the Books of Face, I was pulled into an interesting convo about what constitutes the worst rapper of all time. Of course, there are artists that we may dislike for any number of reasons:
I can think of about 17 just from that photo alone.
But to be considered the worst of the worst, it takes a special brand of suck. Whether it’s a maddeningly lazy delivery, awful lyrics or embarrassing content, I’ve found the 10 worst offenders in rap.
Now, I’m not talking about wannabe hip-hop celebrities like Kevin Federline or Macho Man Randy Savage (RIP BROTHA) who dropped one terrible album and bowed out. I’m not even talking about one-hit wonders like OT Genasis and Trinidad James who barely have two singles to rub together. Instead, let’s look at 10 artists who, unfortunately, have made some sort of a career out of their trash bars.
10. Eazy-E
I know half of y’all are running to the comments RIGHT NOW to call this list “garbage” for mentioning the name of the beloved Eazy-E. For the other half who haven’t embarrassed themselves yet, hear your boy out: there’s no question that Eazy is a West Coast rap pioneer who created iconic songs. But that doesn’t mean the man wasn’t awful on the mike, cuz Lord knows he was. Eazy’s flow was really jerky and stilted, like he was reading from one of those malfunctioning teleprompters from the BET Awards. His Jheri curl was on fleek, tho.
9. Master P
Jay Z and the Roc, Eminem and D12, Nas and the Bravehearts — in most cases, the leader of a rap clique is also its best lyricist, the symbol of excellence for the entire crew. But if Master P is the symbol of excellence for the No Limit Soldiers, it’s no wonder most of ’em went AWOL. Apparently someone told P that RAPPING IN CAPS LOCK is the secret to success, so he spent most of the 90s screaming sewage into our ears. But there’s good news for P — he’s not even the worst rapper in his family! That honor belongs to…
8. Silkk da Shocker
Like a bow-legged toddler trying to catch a butterfly in the park, Silkk has been unsuccessfully chasing rap beats since 1995, tripping over his feet and falling on his face EVERY SINGLE TIME. It’s almost like he was intentionally off-beat with every single bar. When it comes to timing his cadence with the track, homie ain’t even on the wrong page, he’s in a different library.
Footage of Silkk in the studio trying to catch the beat:
There’s only one artist who consistently raps off beat as much as this guy:
7. Big Sean
AKA, your 8-year-old sister’s favorite rapper. Big Sean allegedly has been rapping for a decade, so why is the concept of STAYING ON BEAT still foreign policy to him? He has a weird habit of cramming too many syllables in one bar, then not enough in the next, so his verses are like a raggedy game of Jenga — always two seconds from crumbling into the trash heap. And his punchlines? “Still rocking Louis Vuitton condom, cause I’m so f***ing in style.” Playa please.
One of my boys asked if I was planning to review Big Sean’s latest album. I told him I could sum it up in one image:
6. Mike Jones (Who?)
Journey with me back to 2004, when a mixtape rapper gained popularity by repeating his name a bunch of times and giving out his cell-phone number. Sounds like a thirsty chick on Snapchat.
For a brief, dark time in our country’s history, Mike Jones became the hottest rapper by basically repeating one line over and over again. Don’t believe me? Check out his verse from “Still Tippin'”:
Back then hoes didn’t want me, now I’m hot hoes all on me
Back then hoes didn’t want me, now I’m hot hoes all on me
Back then hoes didn’t want me, now I’m hot hoes all on me (I said!)
Back then hoes didn’t want me, now I’m hot hoes all on me
We heard what you said. Four times.
Instead of writing 16 bars, dude would write like 12 and just repeat a bunch of stuff to fill up the extra space. It’s brilliantly lazy, but downright embarrassing.
5. P. Puffy Diddy Daddy Combs
Your least favorite music mogul has been stealing the spotlight of more talented artists for nearly 25 years. You’d think that by sucking the same rarefied air as legends like the Notorious B.I.G. that he’d acquire some semblance of talent by osmosis.
Guess not.
Puff spent a career bragging about how he didn’t have to write rhymes, he wrote checks. He flaunted the fact that he could pay ghostwriters for hits — if that’s the case, why did he spend his money on such terrible lyrics? If you’re an egomaniacal millionaire with pockets as deep as the Mariana Trench, why would you not buy the best lyrics possible? He’s paying Jay Z prices for J-Kwon lyrics.
4. Chief Keef
Y’all sure love making excuses for this dude. “He ain’t supposed to be lyrical”; “He makes hype music”; “He’s not so bad if you give him a chance.”
I just checked my fridge and we’re all out of chances. Are these REALLY the songs y’all are getting hyped off of?
Emojis, emojis, the b**** like to text emojis
Emojis, emojis, so I sent emojis
Emojis, emojis, and now we send emojis
Emojis, emojis, all she send is emojis
Keef’s whole career can be summed up with an emoji too:
3. Young Thug
Lemme lay out a scenario for you Thugga fans: It’s date night and you decide to take bae to the dollar movies to see the latest Tyler Perry disaster. Unfortunately, the audio in Ratchet Cinemas is jacked up, so everyone on screen sounds like Scooby Doo on lean.
I know how y’all do — if that scenario occurred, you’d run to the manager screaming for a refund AND some free popcorn for your troubles.
Yet, y’all turn right around and spend your hard-earned money on this babbling maniac:
Don’t tell me you know what he’s saying. Lies makes baby Jesus cry.
Last time I checked, you’re supposed to be able to comprehend what a rapper says and I’m not fluent in moron.
2. Birdman
Never before has a man made so much money from doing absolutely nothing. Ever since Cash Money took over for the nine-nine and 2000s, Baby has delivered the laziest, lethargic rhymes in rap history.
Went from sitting in the cell,
To sitting on a jet,
From sh*tting in the cell,
To sh*tting on a jet
All delivered with paint-drying enthusiasm. Every time Birdman rubs his hands, another rap career dies. Except his, sadly.
1. Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em
Back in 2007, I thought that “Crank That” was easily one of the worst songs ever recorded in rap history. EVER. The lyrics — the ones you could understand, that is — were abysmal, the cadence was horrendous and the content made no sense. But I chilled on the song, figuring that it was an eyesore that would soon fade away, like neon fanny packs. But NO, Soulja Boy actually became a bonafide rap star, releasing sorry “hit” after sorry “hit” and I still don’t understand how.
Take all the horrible qualities from nine rappers listed above and combine them — Soulja Boy is the Voltron Force of garbage MCs. Terrible flow, terrible lyrics, terrible production (that he usually handles himself, naturally) terrible tattoos, terrible attitude.
In almost a decade, his only contribution has been lying to poorly-dressed young men about how much “swag” they have.
Soulja Boy is THE WORST EVER.
RELATED: The 10 Most Embarrassing Rap Lyrics of All Time
Feel free to share your least favorites (and complain about Eazy-E) below.
U forgot future and Trinidad James
UGod from Wu Tang
Are you crazy? FUTURE is A GREAT, intelligent RAPPER
Future overrated af …
What the fuck do u meen ugod
He had the best lyrics besides inspectah deck in triumph…fuckin idiot…
You all are fucking dumb. You all listen to that mumbling shit. LOl I like my music with words. not someone that sounds like they just woke up with a nap.
Golden arms was nice
PREACHHHH
I agree playa these cats don’t know s#%t about rap. They probably think MC Hammer is the best rapper ever.
Where’s Magoo (from Timberland and Magoo)? That guy was straight garbage.
Lil Wayne is on the worst rapper list and the best rapper list Lil Wayne is the greatest
U-God bad?! Get the fuck out.
Cado, that’s soo true, they think it is cool to rap and do it so you can’t understand them, when in reality, how are we going to sing along, or do videos, where we want to do the karaoke version? Personally I’m with you, I like to understand what they say.
Easy e was ruff in the start and he had his held for a while but he did develop his flow later and made great music master p was a pioneer of hip hop in a region that had none so at least give props and diddy’s style was a little unorthodox but definitely made and produced some of the greatest hits of 90s new York and honestly fuck Mike Jones he and every one else on the list your basically right about.
Your a sinner. You must mean masta killa
Ayooo don’t disrespect wu-tang
Ugod are you crazy, go put yourself in time out….
I thought Kanye West was gonna be number 1 and he’s the Richest Rapper I DNT see how??? Young Thug on that list and Easy E and Big Sean LOL who’s White Honkey NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT RAP IS THIS!!!?????????
your probably 5 just sayin
Lil Wayne is on the worst rapper list and the best rapper list lol
UGod isn’t bad
i wanna be mad u put young thug on here but i can’t because you’re too funny
U forgot about jarule hes my worst of all time WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOU! He sounded like Dmx and tried to look like tupac
He sounded like DMX but they made completely different music; Ja had R&B hits while X had more street-themed hits. People think he tried to be Tupac because he wore bandanas, but so did Nate Dogg and other rappers. Pac wasn’t the only one who dressed like that; it was a popular look. You think any black dude who puts on a bandana and starts rapping is automatically a Tupac wannabe?
“Put It on Me” and “Mesmerize” were Ja Rule’s only bad songs if I remember correctly. Otherwise, Ja is underrated. He was the one who figured out the formula to making a hit record; if you take a male rapper and pair him with a female R&B singer (Ashanti), it’s an instant hit. That formula is what laid the foundation for mainstream rap, and without Ja Rule and Ashanti there would be no Drake and Rihanna.
Bro he did try to be pac, he sounded like someone mixed pac, dmx together and then added some gum drops and butter fly wings and cotton candy to soften it down
U are correct
Actually Mariah Carey is credited as the pioneer of Pop/R&B Hip-Hop crossovers.
That goes back to the early 1990’s when NOONE was doing this, and the record companies all told her she was crazy and that this formula would never work.
People still doing it to this day.
Jarule is not the one who created this formula.
Author is clueless to a true lyricist who can deliver metaphors like U-GOD.
Big Sean’s on this list? You’re trying to convince me Big Sean is a terrible rapper, worst than the other dozens of shit rappers you left off this list, even back in 2015.
Currently(2021), this whole list should be replaced with every mumble rapper on this planet. (#1 is reserved for the douche bag pedophile that has a rainbow dye hairdo, and who looks like a bad tatted clown who snitches on his crew, after paying them to shoot someone he had beef with)
I guarantee Big Sean “Doesn’t give a fuck about you!”
Eazy E and Vanilla Ice were better than Ja Fool(and they used ghostwriters, which was normal back then.)
Eazy had a unique style and distinctive voice that instantly made him recognizable and was his own.
He wasn’t trying to sound like someone else. (I don’t want to mention any names Ja’ll)
So on that note….peace!
Pac was the first rapper to bring the bandana to light
U forgot Future and Playboi Carti
THIS LIST IS GARBAAAGE
fax
Whoeva made this post is one hating ass nigga nocap
Dog, do you even know how many years before ja rule rappers were pairing with RnB singers doing rapping verse/RnB chorus? You don’t know your history for shit homie. You think ja rule pioneered that shit? Lmao, you’re a noob
Both drake and Rihanna suck arse
fuck all yall niggas that think eazy e sucks eazy is the godfather of gangsta rap.all niggas feelin have it
Eazy e was the god father of ice cybes lyrics dont get it twisted homie
Oh no.. you don’t get it twisted.. Ice cube and MC Ren created Eazy-E’s lyrics.. don’t be a fool
What!!! Say no to drugs!!
Yo I don’t disagree about him using Cubes lyrics… AT FIRST! But Cube left real early & if u don’t agree with my next statement then that’s fine but He had several albums & I say several Hood Anthems & Gangsta Rap Classics long after Cube left. It may take away a little him having help from Ice Cube but end of the day that song probably wouldn’t have been better any other way. Eazy-E belongs amongst the other select few Original sounding performers that I’ve never truly heard duplicated…. like E-40, Eminem, Soulja Slim, Mystikal & shit like him or not he’s on this list too…. I never heard anyone else sound like Silkk the Shocker. I know for a fact that Silkk hit off beat on purpose, so had he not intentionally done that I’d agree he was horrible; however, knowing his style & having heard his hits & seen his sales I can’t hardly agree with that either. This list should consist of Garbage motherfuckers that never went platinum. U got multi platinum artist on here with EAZY-E LoL … I almost think he added the talent to muster up more comments. Nobodt woulda said Shit if he was right
Ok sure ice cube left early but after that if you do your research ice cube won the beef battle against them all and after Ice cube left their lyrics didn’t make sense or go together and his career hit a slow decline afterwards and mc ren didn’t write the lyrics ice cube wrote all the lyrics and they play copy and paste in this day if that same situation happened eazy e mc ren and the rest besides Dr Dre would be considered a fall off
Easy E was fuckinnnnn awful!!
Fuck you his a legend, rip eazy e
Eazy E was and still is my favorite NWA member. He was the only real gangsta in the group and i like his unique sounding voice. I do agree hes not Eminem lyrically but here are so many rappers worse then him. Way worse.
It’s co that you like eazy e but Ice cube was the nwa him and Dre created nwa and eazy they just put him in the back seat they slept on the wrong one you guys need to do your research
You dumb as hell thoughtz822 and very misinformed
When is the last time you actually listened to easy?
He’s on my Spotify biiiih
Today nigga plz. Ice cube and eazy shit all of NWA was tha shit still to this day
bruh why eazy that man is the shit and u know it u just dont wanna admit it.i mean man the was smooth on the mic.
Cube and Schooly D would call Eaze out to the flag pole for a throw down at 3pm after school. G Rap would have just pimpslapped him for being a little bitch.
Young thug and Eazy easily should not be on this list THIS IS TISM AT ITS FINEST
sikk da shocker and eazy-e should not be in this list
How is Juicy J not number one on this list???
Your the one that cant rap buttcheeks face you ugly shit head and yeh im hating cause future not bad like your momma and dada.
Nick Cannon takes the number 1 spot.!!!
Sounds like the writer of this garbage needs to let go of the past because it’s hurting ya hands and pass the torch to the next generation of fans and quit hating the south. You ole bitch ass buster ass talking bout East coast hip-hop not dead we still painting on the train…..
And juicy J
Future fye
And yall forgot lil tjay trash ass
KYS
the fuck is this bullshit, eazy is a fucking legend and big sean is dope af, this list is insignificant
Big Sean dope? He is fucking garbage
Detroit 2
Big Sean sucks asshole
HEll yeah who made this list at least big sean is himself and he tries and every album is different everybody is entitled to their opinion bit come on
U know eazy never wrote a hit song, all his hits were written by other people
He got some dope songs tho.
All his hits were written by icecube, ren ,dre ,doc, dresta, bone thugs etc
# Shawty lo
I can agree with a lot of these. Big Sean is fucking trash. I’m from Detroit and we make fun of his ugly ass. Son is washed. Why you gotta put eazy on the list? Fucking Tyga bro. Can’t be disrespectin the greats like that and leave out that alien lookin cat Tyga.
Tyga almost made it. But no one takes him seriously anyway.
I love EAZY but, cmon his lyrics were nursery school level. Extra Basic lines! RIP EAZY
Puffy and easy e… Worst rappers ever!!!
So, where Logic at? The way he use the same flow and rhymes over and over is cringe and awful for real
He wrote part of real muthaphukkin gs, boyz n the hood, and straight outta Compton.
Where is iggy? To me she is the worst of all time!
Dammit I agree but throwing Iggy in would jeopardize the symmetry of the list where we’d mentally play that Sesame Street game where we’d be focusing on how “one of these things are NOT like the other” and who wants that? Besides, we probably shouldn’t mention her because that would be like admitting that she’s an actual rapper and since we didn’t do that with Vanilla Ice or Snow, we probably shouldn’t start tripping up now by giving the “appropriation brigade” what they want! 😉
Kys
Her ass is nice
There is a lot worse out there than diddy
soulja boy is fucking trash
Soulja boy is fire you just haters
Where is Kanye West?
Good point. Perhaps this list should’ve been called “The 25 Worst Rappers of All Time” because you guys are coming up with some great candidates!
Kanye westand sulga boy is an ass un the music world
Kanye West isn’t that bad. I feel like most people don’t put any effort into making their worst rapper lists and just throw in any mainstream rapper they can think of. Not all of them are bad. Kanye is better than Drake, Lil Wayne, etc.
Tupac should be here
tyga is missing
Tyga has better flow than Biggie. Really, worst rapper.
Your medication is calling you. We’ll wait.
u a stupid muthaphuckka biggie is better than tyga.answer me this if tyga so good how is his net worth $2 million?
However garbage he is you can’t deny that young thug is funny
What about Lil Zane? No one was worse than him. Except maybe Krazy from No Limit.
HEll yeah who made this list at least big sean is himself and he tries and every album is different everybody is entitled to their opinion bit come on
No titty Boi aka 2 chainz?
2 Chinz?!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH UR STUPID ASS
Eazy-E is a fuckin legend. Big Sean is a slut bitch. Seroiusly dude who like Big Sean? Big Sean should be No.1 on the most unfamous sluts of the world. Im from Dallas were people make fun of the slut. Big Sean says ass ass ass ass. That is so annoying.
Putting Eazy-E on your list invalidated the entire list. Your list is officially a joke.
Your name is Ice Cube. The hate is expected.
Eazy- E had people write for him.
So u have a fckin problem
T
And so do Drake, lil wayne and they should also be on this list of people and let’s not forget MC Hammer he was GARBAGE
Nailed It‼️ I seriously scrolled back to the top of the page cuz I thought I read the list wrong and was seeing the Best Rappers of All Time, LoL. Not Sure if Most would have him in their top 10 but NWA & Geto Boys were my 1st Tapes … they are my foundation of what Rap has become and what I have chose to listen to. Easy is one of a Kid Original & some of my Personal favs share that Quality . Often Player Hated Never Duplicated like E-40, Soulja Slim, Andre 3000, Eminem, Tech N9ne, etc… but Eazy was the 1st to Have a sound & style so unique yet still Hard than Concrete
Lil John my god , I can’t stand his music.
Eminem a lyricist? Doesn’t even count as a rapper he should be on this list for having 7 studio albums that just consist of songs about mom, Kim, Hailey and Ronnie. Dude adds extra syllables to words just to rhyme. “She screamed bloody murderer/so loud everybody hearded her” he’s a fucking joke.
What do you meant “doesn’t even count as a rapper”?
Does not even count as a rapper bro tf u talking about
I bet 18780 is the author who wrote this article and placed U-God, Eazy and Big Sean on this list
WORST LIST IN HISTORY OF LISTS U MUST BE ON CRACK TO BELIEVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS EAZY-E TRASH REALLY YOU CAN BRING THAT UP BUT YOU CAN’T BRING SOMEONE UP WHO IS UM….. A RAP LEGEND LISt IS DUMB DONE WITH THE WEBSITE P.S. YOU ARE MY BOY
Im from detroit too kash doll is trash
This is bs why would u guys disrespect some1 like this further more a legend…. The person who made this list is probably a hater and doesn’t have a life of their own so they had 2 ruin some1 elses peace smh #disrespect!!!
I’m sure that he’d respond to your comment IF he were able to read IT!!! I’m guessing that he isn’t fluid in “5th grade text” english.
*fluent* Lol!
U forgot slim Jesus
Also EAZY E ain’t no legend cuz ICE CUbe wrote all his s rhymes…….
dis the last time eazy did write some of his lyrics
This must be a newyork lame making this list because you left off every wack ass battle rapper from newyork that rap about kufu an bullshit jadakiss is the only hot nigga from uptop Jay wack fabulous wack want to be a south nigga so bad go back an check your list newyork hate they can’t be the south wack ass…..
Last I checked, Puffy was from NY, you dumbass. Also, you’re smoking some strong shit because NY invented the entire article of rapping. The South didn’t invent shit. The South actually contributed to the endless amount of trash that comes out today. New York has had way more talent than the South has ever had.
*art
west coast better than n.y.c and the south
List already garbage Eazy-E
And Bug Sean so you’re telling me they isn’t any worst rappers not on this list than them.
Only thing bad you can say about Eazy is that he didn’t write his own lyrics, that why it sounds like he’s “reading from a teleprompter”. Big Sean isn’t as terrible as y’all are making him out to be (except that content/substance is not his strong suit). Otherwise, this list is pretty accurate, should’ve been Top 25, though. If it’s the worst rappers of ALL TIME, I would’ve gone back further than the late 90s.
Werd on Eazy and that teleprompter morse code ‘flow’ he had! I often wonder what would’ve happened if that bitch just went dead on him in the middle of his bars……but then he’d just end up babblling like Wayne and be called a genius for it so *shrug*. Anyway, I’m with you on that! Lol!
You aint ever heard of no more questions or real mf Gs cause it ain’t sound like he reading from a teleprompter
Dumbass
If you put eazy e on this list you don’t know rap
thank u lord u the only person that got sense
This list is ass come on now big sean! Eazy e? Young thug understandable, chief keef was ass but he tryna up his game a lil birdman ass soulja boy asss and number 6 ass 8 is ass and p diddy so its kindah accurate except for big sean and eazy u was trippin doin that
Fam, just call this list, “The Worst Rappers Ever” and make it a living document because there are new entries on a daily basis these days, lol.
BTW, I agree with every entry on this list.
This list is on point! I would have lumped No Limit into one so that Kanye could take a well deserved spot on the list. I’m from the Chi and I know it doesn’t get any wacker than Kanye.
A great MC that doesn’t get the credit is Andre 3000. IMO, he’s in the top 5 greatest.
Andre 3000 is the most overrated rapper of all time and he’s a fag
You a whole ass duck for this. 3000 overrated? You must smoke crack and wash cars.
Andre 3000 overrated and a fag? What we have here is a little psychology in play–you think that Andre 3000 is a fag because his name reminds you of the number dicks you’ve had in your mouth! Once you realize that it will be easy to turn that fag pointer finger around and have it pointing in the direction it should. And I don’t know if you have enough taste to be a Wu-Tang fan and I certainly don’t want to ruin it for you if you are but it’s Inspectah Deck, not inspect a dick!
Go fuck yourself bitch. Kanye top 10 DOA.
Its obvious many were entranced by the lyrics of Cube and beats by Dre…b/c Easy was a horrible MC. We love all his songs bc of those 2. Take them out the equation, and what’s left? A wack ass rapper. Same thing with Future…we rockin to those beats…but the lyrics are garbage.
How can you think that Kanye sucks! Just listen to My beautiful dark twisted fantasy. That is the compete opposite of trash
People rocked with real mf Gs and the str8 off the streets Compton album sooooo your point is invalid Jennifer the cunt
channel dissing bad rappers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVTaua2MAu8
This is list is absolutely amazing! And I love see all of the Eazy-E apologists coming out of the woodwork.
So many typos. Sorry.
“This list is absolutely amazing! And I love seeing all of the Eazy-E apologists coming out of the woodwork.”
You Can find worst than Big Sean but he kinda is corny. But if you gone put Thug and Keef on here. You should of saved A nice spot for Future. You not the only person I heard say Eazy E is whack.In these catz dont know hip hop. Just because Eazy E was Iconic dont mean he was A good MC. That goes to Cube,Del the Funky Homosapien or The D.O.C they could of possibly wrote his rhymes.
You’re a dumbass and eazy e is not whack
U guys are probably tranidad James dick riders and put eazy e on here to make tranidad James seem good
when i listen to lifestyle all i hear is “LIVE LIFE LIKE A BAGUETTE AND THIS IS ONLY THE BEGGINNINGGGGGGGG”
Who ever made this list is not current with todays music. Young thug and Big Sean? Gtfoh smh
Lol everyone is butthurt that eazy e is here
Kanye is the worst, hands down.
If you feel otherwise,
then you are the problem.
you obviously dont know anything about rap
ewwwww…..i m sikk of chief keef & young thung,ugliest rappers of all time.also those who assholes who cant rap.you forgot someone else,kanye west,future,mechine gun kelly.
This nigga obviously never heard Detroit style rap before . Big Sean over Future, Flo Rida or Birdman freaking French Montana? Young Thug? NIGGA ALL THESE SUCKY RAPPERS & you bring up big Sean??? Gtfo.
The worse rappers ever are Future, Chief Keef, Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan,Vanilla Ice, Iggy Azalea, Flavor Flav, Souljah Boy, Silk the Shocker, and Snow.
you put EAZY E wtf is your problem ??
ong dis nigga dumb asf ??
because I have heard their music…..I Agree with you some people will listen to ANYTHING
uhhh, I have no idea who half of these people are, I like Classic Rock!
No one cares lmao why are you even here dumbass,to brag?
Laugh out Loud
?????
P.S. where is Kanye one here
Wait..What # was boosie? I must have missed that. Boosie sounds like Trina alter ego! His voice is so f%*king annoying,I would go full Beethoven and chop my damn ears off after 30 seconds of hearing him allegedly rap!! That shit angers me fr!??
fuck eazy or what ever nigga couldnt write his on lyrics without ice motherfucken cube no vaseline without cube no NWA
You’re a dumbass
nigga is you in third grade or sum??
Where’s Drake ….. Very disappointed of you ..
Tony yayo!! Complete garbage
Definately Drake should be on the list! He sounds like a toddler.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Kanye on the list either.
I personally don’t think Mike Jones should be on the top ten worst list. He had Flow. He just didn’t have enough time to do what he could’ve done.
He only had 1 verse and tried to make a whole album out of 1 verse
Lmfao did someone say young thug is dope???? Funniest shit of 2016. Good list but theres worse you could have put instead of eazy and Diddy is actually alot better than most of these clowns!
My all time wack
1.2 chainz- just listen to elchapo junior,
2.Future- all his songs, codeine astronauts (surely they know they are suck)
3.Birdman
4.Meek Mill-shouts like a woman n always on top of his voice instead of on top of his game
5.young thug- No comments
6.Kanye West- A career outta controversies, not talent.
7.Big sean- Fairly good, at least he ain’t topping the list
8.Wiz Khalifa- He knows he wack but he knows his type of beat so he makes nice music
9.Eazy E
10.Puffy 🙂
u niggas make me sick i wish u would just choke on a dick
nigga you gay wtf
Tyga sucks & his is the worst fcuking rapper alive. He make me want to jump out of a moving car & DIE. When it come to being a bad rapper it dont get no worse then him. HE SUCK ASS
man u got life f***** up soulja boy should have never even been on the list i bet he could rap circles around any legitimate rapper u can think of
Lil yachty
Lil uzi vert
Migos
Travis scott
2 Chainz(wannabe different)
Young thug
Big sean(used to be dope but trys to hard now)
Drake
Tyga(possibly not sure)
Niki Minaj(trys to hard)
There are others but they were orginaters of corny..the niggas listed dickeat then try to convince the world their complex like odd future kid cudi pharrell common kanye west lupe fiasco etc. The Im different syndrome
Odd future birthed two of the best rappers in the industry right now, both Earl and Tyler can drop some of the best bars and they’re the one of only ones who still show appreciation to the art and craft of rap. Kanye West has solidified himself as a true rapper with his delivery and unique bars which he has proven over albums like Ye, KSG, MBDTF, and college dropout.
Only one I disagree with is Mike Jones. His hooks sound stupid (WHO? MIKE JONES) but his lyrics are actually on point. Go listen to Back Then and see that the lyrics are pretty dope.
Does Chanel west coast even count?
LOL! Im new to your website but on the strength of the honesty of this list ALONE I’m in your corner for life! #onpoint
You forgot 50 Cent. He’s probably the worst rapper of all time. Every time he raps he sounds like he’s mumbling; I know it’s because he got shot in the tongue, but still. He’s also a shitty lyricist.
What really makes him the worst rapper of all time is that he’s the REASON that every mainstream rapper raps about sex and drugs nowadays. He basically stole Ja Rule’s style of love songs, but he made them more sexualized. Take Candy Shop, for example. 50 Cent raps about sex throughout the whole track. Now every rapper does the same thing.
Timberland as a “rapper”…Magoo
Good citing. Apart from libs, Timbo was tragic in the booth.
[…] Boy, SoulinStereo.com’s official Worst Rapper Alive, liked a picture on Karrauche Tran’s Instagram page. Her ex, my illegitimate Cousin Chris […]
You all obviously haven’t heard of Slug Christ..
This article was great there was only 2 I didn’t agree with you on good job and you didn’t mention Desiiner damn he is trash
bro wat u said is d most insane thing AV ever heard in my lyf
Forgot Shaq lmaooo.
All of these rappers are trash, young thug is the worst, biggie is the best anyone who likes soulja boy or young thug kill yourself for listening to them.
This list is wack af. Eazy E is one of the most iconic rappers of all time, whoever made this list has no respect. He had his own style and flow with an original voice. You ever heard of NWA???? Come on now. Oh and also, you put Big Sean on here???? Wtf I wanna meet the dude who made this list and tell him in person that he has no f*cking sense whatsoever. Wacccckkkkk.
You also forgot the name of yo yo honey singh
Peedi Crakk. Dumb name. Dumb flows.
Just heard Big Sean on Good Morning America. Oh my gosh !!!! Awful !!! I anxiously searched for remote to switch to ANY OTHER CHANNEL.
Young Thug shouldn’t be on the list. The guy’s music is fockin splendid yall
[…] The 10 Absolutely Worst Rappers of All Time […]
Why isn’t Bloody Jay on this? Honestly the worst in the music game. No structure to his song, he used the word “potato” to rhyme with “room”. The fuck out of here
lol!!!!! Nuff said.???
It’s cool that we can all agree to disagree…#Ole School Rap Rules tho
y’all wrong af about young thug. I mean everything after slime season 3 is shit, but for fuck sake, big Sean is 7 and thug is 3. big Sean’s a fuckin chode.
You’re funny, but you ain’t lying.
all I can say is: I can sleep better knowing Big Sean made the list.
dawg big sean is not bad
Yo this list is ass you clearly have no concept of rap or the artists you claim to be so bad. Either that or you are one sarcastic son of a bitch. What Master P did for rap is unbelievable definitely not the most skilled lyricist, but the empire he built, his career is one of crazy success.
So if you dissing master P da last don’t then Fuck you buddy!
Uhhhhhhhh!!!
Clearly you should update your top ten. I understand the sentiment, but rapping is more than lyrics and flow – charisma is essential! That would remove Eazy E and others from list. Some rappers to consider:
Tyga (god awful)
Prince B (PM dawn)
Iggy Azalea (literally imitating black people)
Magoo (really really bad)
Master P (spot on analysis by you)
Soulja boy
Diddy (imagine Biggie never existed – would he? Amazed at how stiff and boring his flow remained)
Lil Yachty
And the worst 3:
Silk
Cheef keef
Birdman
Grab the ski mask, here’s a task, go in broke, come out with cash, we’re you slick? Yeah, you gotta be cunning’ told ice cube to leave the car runnin’, walked in, said this is a robbery, didn’t need the money it’s just a hobby, fill the bag homeboy don’t lag, I want money,beer, and a pack of zig zags!!!! I don’t give a fuck I take travelers checks. Eazy e is one of the greatest before and after cube Fuck all you Eazy haters West Coast!!!!
Yo man, a lot of yáll are actually mad in these comments, can we all take a minuet to actually acknowledge how damn FUNNY this shit is like the way he wrote this had me in tears bruh like on GOD LMFAOOOOO!!!! I love this bruh keep it up I’m DEADDDD lol
You forgot UGod.Golden arms whatever his name is from Wutang Clan
Your list is shit. Young Thug is a new type of music. Chief Keef is turn up music.
This fool must like mumble rappers OG rappers are immune to this list due to the fact they created everyone later on not their fault the rap game turned into sloppy grandma pussy
Young Thug is WHACK. That wouldn’t be a big deal except when people call him a genius.
Reading these comments is like going to the projects lol
Have Riff Raff and Paul Wall not enjoyed 10+ year careers???. Also, I agree with a comment suggesting the inclusion of Future. Future does interesting music but he’s as equally an awful emcee as any listed. Sharp, Detailed, Humorous read. Thanks
The list needs edit.
1. Gucci Mane (totally garbage)
2. Kanye West (very soft & simplified, very overrated)
3. Tyga (completely bad)
4. Soulja Boy
5. 2Chainz
6. Drake (similar to Kanye)
7. O.T. Genasis
8. Big Sean
9. Future
10. Waka Flucka Flame
11. Young Thug
12. Boosie
13. B.G.
14. Meek Mill
15. Wiz Khalifa
16. Chief Keef
17-n – a lot of new pop rappers wit no flow or unique style
Note: 50, Diddy, Mike Jones Birdman, Eazy, Silkk, Master P, maybe bad to someone, but not so irritating bad like “rappers” on the main list
cuz Real Rap mustn’t b like a bucket wit snops, and mumblin like a cow chewin grass..
yup
RAH WTF KANYE ARE YOU GOOD AHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Why is Kanye not first he made graduation
I don’t listen to this crap anymore. I only listen to real rap music. Like Vanilla Ice.
At the end of the day who is great and who is not is subjective to the listener. There is no point in arguing in the comments. I will say though I don’t think Big Sean is anything special I don’t think that he is anything special I certainly don’t think he deserves to be on this list.
After reading this list I decided to listen to some silkk the shocker and his big brother Master P. I’m now fans of there work ?. Thanks Edd for introducing me to such horrible rappers. So bad but enjoyable at the same time.
Have you even heard Uzi’s music? He beats the shit out of lots of modern rappers, y’all just think he’s shit because he uses autotune and mumbles, Uzi mumbles because his fanbase prefers his flow and shit like that, he doesn’t do it by accident, he does it on purpose. Not too mention some songs are lyrical, catchy, and just certified platinums, not to mention raps competition on best albums so far, Uzi beat Eminem’s album by streams and sales. You may think he doesn’t have talent but it’s impossible to realize he’s one of the most successful in the game. Now don’t disrespect a legend again my friend.

What about kanye west and lil Wayne.
WTF U MEAN YOUR TO YOUNG
NO NO VANILLA ICE WAS THE WORST RAPPER TO TRY TO RAP
At all again you know nothing about MC period facing it on Flow and lyrics not hit songs not great albums just flow and lyrics technical skills. Eazy-E was basic as f*** and he read his lyrics he had no bounce to his delivery whatsoever listen to boys in the hood he sounded hard yes but he had no flow he didn’t have delivery and I loved NWA but some of you just need to find another f****** culture or John Roman. Whoever said Kanye is on crack and I can’t stand that dude but he’s one of the better wrapping producers there is. Look at his delivery on gold digger or through the wire. now play that against Eazy-E just play the acapella don’t play The beat if you can’t hear the difference don’t listen to rap music anymore cuz you know what the f*** you’re talking about. Trinidad James should have been on this list he’s terrible. Designer, Malachi The nutcracker, Praa from Fugees, Too Short ( I respect you dude but man he is so boring it’s like listening to paint dry he has no f****** emphasis on different words and no energy whatsoever.) You just fan boys that don’t understand lyricism and rapping. You were to go by the best rappers of all time technical skill-wise based upon their peers you have Rakim, Kool G Rap, Big l, Big Pun, Nas, Pharaoh munch, black thought, Eminem, Royce the 59, Elzhi, Locksmith, RA the Rugged Man, AZ, Lord Finesse,Andre 3000, AZ, Cyhi, Los, INS, Benny and Conway, among others. If your taking flow, Biggie, Meth, Mos Def, Em, Jay, Tteach, Pac, etc.
Nicki Minaj….
Yo soulja boy go hard so does young thug yall hoes only fucking put black ppl on her is that all you do all i see is black black black black bclace black black black black black
Wtf are you talking about? Why do you have to
Make this about race? How about stick to the topic at hand and keep it to music. Second, the only thing Soulja Boy goes hard on is riding dick. He is beyond trash. The only way his music could possibly appeal to you is if you’re under 13 years old or have an double digest IQ.
i disagree with this whole list except for soulja, p.diddy, and birdman why put thug on here hes artistic at least but gunna and lil baby def deserve a spot
i tell who hella sucks too. first off, top ten garbage is harder than best bc mo is garbage than is good. now, who hella sucks today(they was aiight in they day) pac and biggie, is hella trash, but still better than most today. and pac and big was hella shillin. agents puppets scripted actors. eminem too i dont listen to none of the fucks. eminem is one of the rawest but i wouldnt listen to his cointel pro ass. just sayin. idgaf what anybody think. im not wrong at all. thats on you you dont like it. adios
Jay is a racist piece of shit. And there is no way Tupac is a better actor than Will Smith. And what is wrong with you guys? This isn’t a best and worst rapper list, it’s a best and worst rappers who act list. Jesus Christ.
There are a few rappers missing from the worst list that, should be noted. Master P comes to mind as someone fairly consistent on bringing a terrible performance, as does the collective of ICP. The fact that they have not only starred, but generated movies for which to fill the shelves is a nightmarish shit fest that sits on my brain whenever I give it a thought. Several users commented on how Vanilla Ice should also be included. I would have to agree, as anyone who gives TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze a screening would know, he is in the movie. However, this may not be eligible, as he played himself performing a song. The fact that this was committed to film is downright repulsive, no matter how active a role in the acting world he played with that piece of “classic” movie magic, I would still consider him to be top of any shit list.
Call da fire department.Oh I forgot 911 is a joke in your town
yo dont ever disespect eazy like that.
one of the worst lists about hip hop ive ever seen, period
you’re fucking deaf
not they picked the most liked and most well known rappers and said “they’re trash” without any further explanation for attention ?
This list is absolute trash.
How tf are you gonna put Young Money’s frontman on here.
Did you just Google a bunch of rappers and compile a list?
And as someone from Chicago, Cheif Keef was more than a musician.
He influenced an entire generation of up and coming Chicago rappers and created his own sub-genre; drill. It takes a lot more to be a pioneer than it does to copy what has already done for.
Luckily you’ll never spit game, because you would surely be last on this list. What a joke
….@ This Time Of This Post, On This Very Day, A Few More Are Given Birth…
Jay-Z (I GIVE HIM HIS PROPS, BUT NO, HE CANNOT RAP! His LYRICS are CLEVER though, and he’s one of the RICHEST RAPPERS. FYI TO THOSE WHO WEREN’T AWARE: TO POSSESS CLEVERNESS IN WRITING, whether it be LYRICS, MUSIC, STORIES, POEMS, BLOGS, NEWS, ETC. does NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH A GREAT VOICE TO RAP, SING, READ ALOUD, PRESENT IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE, OR COMMUNICATE TO EVERYONE ON AIR WORLDWIDE! OWNING MANY RICHES doesn’t either. it just BUMPS YOU UP TO ONE OF THE FIRST of the world. There’s a significant amount of individuals that are taught dance moves. GUESS WHAT? THE SAME significant amount of individuals STILL CANNOT DANCE, they can MOVE accordingly, but CANNOT dance.)
LIL FLIP
LIL KEKE
DRAKE
DR. DRE
THE CRIME MOB(‘HOE’) Especially the last female rapping on ‘Knuck If You Buck’record.
USHER
R.KELLY
WILL SMITH
RANDY JACKSON(baby boy of Jacksons 5/6)
And Pretty Much ALL New Rappers That HASN’T been around long enough to NOT sound like each other singing the SAME darn song, with the SAME darn lyrics, in the SAME darn tune, on the SAME darn beat, just at a DIFFERENT time, on a Different day, and possibly in a DIFFERENT year. NERVE RACKING, UGH ?!
FYI: THESE ARE MY OPINIONS AND I HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEM AS FEEL. They are not meant to take away anyone’s courage, dignity, not meant to disrespect anyone in any manner, nor are they meant to make anyone feel moved in any way possible. IF my itty bitty OPINIONS upset ANYONE to the point they would one to HARM OR KILL me OR ANYONE else, THEN PLEASE, at this time, REMOVE YOURSELF WHERE YOU ARE NOW AND CHECK YOURSELF INTO A PSYCH WARD or HAVE SOMEONE CHECK YOU IN, for the sake of all mankind, so that the rest of us can remain living together IN HARMONY amongst ourselves, OWNING OUR ABILITIES to EXPRESS our OPINIONS FREELY WITHOUT CAUSING ANOTHER HUMAN ANY MENTAL INJURY AND/OR GRAVE BODILY
HARM.??
This list is so f*****g stupid. Out of all the garbage rappers that emerged in the 2010s (many of which have surpassed Soulja Boy for that #1 spot tbh), Big Sean was one of the only bright spots of the group as far as lyrics are concerned, and he easily had a better verse than Eminem (the so-called GOAT) on the “Detroit vs Everybody” song. And there’s no way Eazy E, Master P, or Sillk should be on that list. Man, whoever wrote this needs to be dummy smacked upside the head. I don’t even usually leave these type of comments when I come across articles I disagree with as much as this, but I just couldn’t let this one pass. And how you don’t even Future, 2 Chainz, Lil B (The real #1 worst rapper of all time) or Lil Yachty on the list?!?!?!? SMFH
I agree with most of what you said, except the part about Sillk. I used to like Sillk The Shocker when I was in Junior High, and still listen to some songs for the memories of the parties I used to host, but….SIllk is trash. his voice is weak, his flow sucks, he is so off beat that he ruins every song he is in and his lyrics are so weak that I only remember hooks.
u forgot pooh sheisty
absolutely the worst fucking list ive ever seen in my life. jesus ?
Dope list. only changes I would make:
Move Yung Thug to #2
Remove Eazy-E and add Islord (from Killarmy) and make him #1
Remove P. Diddy and add Lil’ Yahty or Lil Uzi Very (both are equally trash)
Remove Big Sean and add Bizarre (from D12) in his place
U said killarmy…u went deep bro. Hahaha.
Young thug is king y’all just hating no cap
Hell nah Thug is just terrible
Worst list if your ganna name the grates heres some eminem snoop ice cube vanila ice and 50 cent
This is the dumbest list ever.
Worst rappers who actually lasted a few albums:
1. sean p diddy combs
2. vanilla ice
3. ja rule
4. will smith
5. tie between too many others.
Most over rated rappers:
1. eminem
2. icp
3. jay z
4. 2 live crew
5. notorious b.i.g.
Take Will Smith off that list Will Smith is the GOAT ?????
2pac is the worst and most overrated rapper of all time
bro 2pac is a legend and if you said von, he’d fucking revive, go to ur house and say ima kill u
Definitely Eazy E and Jay Z, I can’t stand their high pitched voices!
Gurl you just dont know what music is, so your name is emma uhh ya you must listen to country, talor swift and your favorite singer is katy perry
That list is 100% wrong with who’s on that list. There are much much worse rappers than these guys. For example: Trippie Redd, Riff Raff, Lil Dicky, Lil Xan, Tyga, Blueface, Lil Yachty, French Montana, Lil Pump, and, the ABSOLUTE worst of the worst, 6ix9ine. Those are the kinds of rappers that should be on this list, not amazing rappers like Easy-E and Diddy.
you cant call this list bad and then just suggest putting Trippie Redd on this list. Kys
Lol imagine calling Diddy a “amazing rapper”
bro the leaks werent out the year he made this
Bull Shit
crazy, in retrospect i see why hip hop artist hated blogs in this era cus wow this is terrible
Ok so listen? here you dumb monkey? I gonna tell you wassup gangggg??. Dis is da worst ranking eva??. Take this shit down nowwww?!!! SMH ?
OK eazy-E is not the worst he just wasn’t able to start booming since he died so young but I bet you he would have had better music, not every artists first few songs are that good it takes time for them to get there and improve their music. with JaRule ya he tried to be like Pac but he did make some good music ill give that to him soOooO ya that’s all I have to say about all this
Jus cuz Chief Keef has ONE repetitive song does not justify him being “bad” he is one of the greatest ever and this list is total shit bc of it.
No way a brotha wrote this..
Yuh I did. Brodie oppin’ omm
Wow, honestly Mike Jones (who?) is the only one on that list that I even like at all lol
My own list:
1. Cardi B
2. Future
3. 21 Savage
4. Gucci Mane
5. Lil Uzi Pervert
6. Soulja Boy
7. Rip but Young Dolph
8. Big Sean (he really is ass ass ass ass ass ass ass ass)
9. Travis Scott
10. Eazy E (I definitely ain’t bumping anything of his)
future, good, lil uzi good, travis scott, good, lil bro just remake this list
U said killarmy…u went deep bro. Hahaha…
bro give chief keef a chanch just becaus he fuckng said emoji emoji some shit, dosent mean he bad, and eazy e? are you high?
I think pit bull belongs somewhere on this list. I’d swap out master p for pitbull and put him and silk the shocker number 3 and 2 with soulja boy numero uno.
Fr about Diddy. He was also known less for being a horrible rapper and known more for having baby oil in his basement.
