Rakim, big daddy Kane, krs-one,and kool g rap...I don't think anyone is gonna top them they set the standards. Nas is the blueprint of 90's rap. Eminem is the master of shock value wit real lyricism. Scarface is the king of southern gangsta rap. It's hard to say....specially since nobody topped the original 4 and whose the best between them is a toss up. Then there's pac biggie big L and big pun. All of them were at the height or getting there of the 90's before they all died. Its hard for me to say.

Oh yeah? This is the greatest rap song ever!!!

Mama Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J

Mama Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J

Don't call it a comeback
I've been here for years
Rocking my peers and putting suckers in fear
Making the tears rain down like a monsoon
Listen to the bass go boom
Explosion, overpowering
Over the competition, I'm towering
Wrecking shop, when I drop these lyrics that'll make you call the cops
Don't you dare stare, you better move
Don't ever compare
Me to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced
Competition's paying the price

I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out

Don't you call this a regular jam
I'm gonna rock this land
I'm gonna take this itty bitty world by storm
And I'm just getting warm
Just like Muhummad Ali they called him Cassius
Watch me bash this beat like a skull
Cuz u know I had beef wit
Why do u riff with me, the maniac psycho
And when I pull out my jammy get ready cuz it might go
BLAAAAW, how ya like me now?
The river will not allow
U to get with, Mr. Smith, dont riff
Listen to my gear shift
I'm blasting, outlasting
Kinda like Shaft, so u could say I'm shafting
Old English filled my mind
And I came up with a funky rhyme

Breakdown!!!

Shadow boxing when I heard you on the radio
I just don't know
What made you forget that I was raw?
But now I got a new tour
I'm going insane, starting the hurricane, releasing pain
Letting you know that you can't gain, I maintain
Unless you say my name
Ripping, killing
Digging and drilling a hole
Pass the Ol' Gold

I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out

Shotgun blasts are heard
When I rip and kill, at WILL
The man of the hour, tower of power, I'll devour
I'm gonna tie you up and let you understand
that I'm not your average man
when I got a jammy in my hand
DAAAAAM!!!!! Oooooohh!!
Listen to the way I slaaaaay your crew
Damage damage damage damage
Destruction, terror, and mayhem
Pass me a sissy so suckers I'll slay him
Farmers (What!!!) Farmers (What!!!)
I'm ready (we're ready!!!)
I think I'm gonna bomb a town (get down!!)
Don't you never ever pull my lever
Cuz I explode explode
And my nine is easy to load
I gotta thank God
Cuz he gave me the strength to rock
HARD!! knock you out, mama said knock you out

I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out

Negatory! Love the song, but it pales to "Around the way girl". And Chuck D still owns.....so nah! :wink: laugh

I have never heard of your Chuck D. Name a song of his that anyone will know, let alone find epic.

He was/is in Public Enemy. "Welcome to the Terrordome", "Brothers gonna work it out", "Fight the power". I just feel his vocals and what he says speaks volumes.

Fight the Power!! Excellent! That's a classic! Public Enemy! Flavor Flav! Yo!

I will give it to you, my white brother. A most excellent choice!! Their immortal words still resonate to this day! Respect!

Fight the Power - Public Enemy

Fight the Power - Public Enemy

1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got soul
(Brothers and sisters, hey)
Listen if you're missin' y'all
Swingin' while I'm singin'
Givin' whatcha gettin'
Knowin' what I know
While the Black bands sweatin'
And the rhythm rhymes rollin'
Got to give us what we want
Gotta give us what we need
Our freedom of speech is freedom or death
We got to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say
Fight the power

As the rhythm designed to bounce
What counts is that the rhymes
Designed to fill your mind
Now that you've realized the prides arrived
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
It's a start, a work of art
To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange
People, people we are the same
No we're not the same
Cause we don't know the game
What we need is awareness, we can't get careless
You say what is this?
My beloved lets get down to business
Mental self defensive fitness
(Yo) bum rush the show
You gotta go for what you know
Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say...
Fight the Power

Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant s h*t to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Mother f*** him and John Wayne
Cause I'm Black and I'm proud
I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
Don't worry be happy
Was a number one jam
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
(Get it) let's get this party started right
Right on, c'mon
What we got to say
Power to the people no delay
To make everybody see
In order to fight the powers that be
