It really grinds my gears when I see these top three or top five best rappers of all time or in history. They are all over the search engines but none of them seem to consider the valid points. A rapper is not someone who comes with the best rhymes or has the best production behind them but rather someone who presents him or herself in the perfect balance.

I think it's how much influence you've had on the greatest number of people. Simple as that. So how do you know how much someone has influenced someone? You must look at various different factors to come up with an answer. The production, the lyrics and the style of rap also known as the 'flow'. Most importantly, it's the human connection which is the struggle they went through to accomplish their goals. Which is bringing their product or music to you and I. When you start thinking about all those things, than you begin to realize that their are only a handful of rappers out there who fit the bill.

Out of all the rappers and hip hop artists, only 2pac, Master P, Sean Combs, Curtis Jackson and Slim Shady has had the most global impact. 2pac is still selling records and it has been almost 11 years since he got shot. Master P is the one put the dirty south on the map before the Cash Money Records deal and before Lil John's Crunk. Plus Mr. Miller ended up on the richest men in american list at just 28 when he started No limit records. His album 'Ghetto Dope' is nothing short of a classic with funky basslines and raw style of rapping that was simply too original.

Finally when Marshall came up it was like a re-brith in rap music. Here you had a white rapper who actually had some phenomenal skills. The color barrier was broken again and this time it was the opposite. You would think that after all the suffering black people went through, they would let the white kid do his thing but I guess anger is something that can slow down creativity, but not completely halt it.

Don't forget about Sean Combs who literally grabbed the hip hop game from the urban community and put in in front of the world with his remixes of the most famous somewhat 'white' songs. Sean Combs again, following in the steps of Master P, has built a huge music empire that has made him into an amazing celebrity worldwide. He brought the 'popness' to hip hop and why not - the music is great. Again he's one of those people who has had a global impact and to the haters out there, if it wasn't for Sean Combs, we wouldn't have P Diddy.
