Best Artist Alive

Take A Rip of This!!!!!!

There have been many lists and comparisons on who exactly is the best rapper alive, and today IndieRips would like to tackle the topic. Off the top when people start talking about the best rapper alive you hear names like Lil Wayne, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, J-cole, Kanye West, Jay-Z, and so forth. I think some of the best rappers though are those who are not the super stars of the industry but are solid with their market and consistent with their longevity. The music industry has long been a popularity contest but just because someone is popular, that doesn't actually make them a great artist. I only made a list of five but check it out and tell me who you think should be up there and who shouldn't. First off number 5 on the list is the infamous Kanye West, who has mad as many hits as he has produced for other people. In 4th place i would like to put J cole who is a new artist in the game but he has been very consistent with his delivery and he was the only rapper to go platinum last year. In 3rd I'd like to rank Kendrick Lamar, he should be number one but not quite yet, with his sophomore album on the way Kendrick Lamar is definitely a game changing artist who has always stayed true to himself and his music. At number 2 on the list i would like to put Jay-Z, who has had success with every album he has ever dropped in his 20+ year career. Then finally at number 1 is someone who is not quite a rapper but more importantly a artist and his name is Pharrell, no explanation needed.
