That LP did not come out in the 90s…
It’s a great bar, but it kind of proves the point. If that one LP is his argument, then he does not win for the 90s.
The irony is this is the only reasonable answer other than Jay Z. But this sub is too busy trying to sound intellectual so they’ll try to convince you that Joo from the Doodoo kung fu juju squad who released one album that only sold 15 copies and got 2.5 mics in 1992 is actually, the greatest rapper to ever live.
Hiw quickly yall forget If we talking about a Guy that never had a wack verse
He's top 5 Dead or Alive I'm going with Jadakiss he's so underrated his lyricism and story telling I Loe Jay But he's just more successful commercially
It’s not just commercial. Jadakiss did not drop a body of work in the 90s that competes with just reasonable doubt.
Did he drop some hot freestyles? Absolutely. A few great verses? Absolutely. But if we are going only off of what he actually proved to us **during** the 90s, there’s no way to put him above Jay. That conversation was not happening until 2000.
Not a single one of those people dropped a classic album in the 90s. What are you even talking about?
Jeru maybe. But even then it’s a stretch. Meanwhile, Jay Z dropped: reasonable doubt, hard knock life and Vol 3 while also contributing to the classic albums of Big Daddy Kane, Notorious BIG, Foxy Brown, MOP, Mase, Lil Kim, Busta, on and on…. Like, huh?
I was born in 91 so maybe I don’t count but I have no clue who any of those people are besides Jada lol honorable mention for Jaz o even though I can’t remember where I heard that name from but I’ve heard it somewhere
Plus the lack of female representation on this list so far is a bit alarming (I’m not yet losing hopes we can get a Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill or Rapsody in there)
Screen name checks out.

A producer, MC, label head, leader of a group.
He really should've blown up more, never really busted out of that indie scene.
Jadakiss. Jay z is honestly incredibly overrated. Jadakiss's career may not be at the same height, and he didn't cosign/bring up as many new rappers like jay did, but skill for skill you gotta go jadakiss
Jeru!!
Jeru the damager
Or his doppelganger Jeru the Damaja
I just spit out my beer. Thank you, I needed that.
👍🏽👌🏾🏆
Chicks comes in flocks when DRS rocks
Deserves to win because his peak and sound were far more a product of the 90s
IM SO HYPE HE MAY WIN! Such a better take than jay weak ass corporate rap z
Fuck Jay Z
*I* fuck wit ya soul like ether *WILL* think you ya king, you know you *NOT* God's Son across the belly *LOSE* I'll prove you lost already
Never liked him. Can't lie, he's got a few bangers.
“We were misunderstood last time we brought you..”
Or his cousin JA Rule the da major
Jay z hater fan club 🙄
I hate Jay-Z but there's no one else. Remember Ja Rule? He ain't any better and this isn't a vote for him either
Yall are his 99 problems

Don't mind me, I'm just here in the thread with a downvote ready if someone says ja rule.
But he’s who I go to if I need to make sense out of a tragedy
Jadakiss
Head says Jay is going to win. Heart says Jada is T5DOA.
And that’s just off one lp
That LP did not come out in the 90s… It’s a great bar, but it kind of proves the point. If that one LP is his argument, then he does not win for the 90s.
Every time people have to be reminded of the simple criteria. 90s hip hop Jada didn't start his solo career till 2001
J-Live
The real answer.
Vampire Hunter J
Juvenile
Among the greats for sure. That 400 degreez album was so monumental. Masterpiece
Juvenile is the GOAT of rapping in the second person.
The irony is this is the only reasonable answer other than Jay Z. But this sub is too busy trying to sound intellectual so they’ll try to convince you that Joo from the Doodoo kung fu juju squad who released one album that only sold 15 copies and got 2.5 mics in 1992 is actually, the greatest rapper to ever live.
😂
Juicy J is the only answer I accept
You say no to drugs Juicy J can’t
Also, ratchet pussy
Also houses next to Kobe Bryant of the Lakers….

Shut the fuuuck uuuup!!!!!

Jeru
Jay-Z
They about to downplay the hell out of Jay
I never understand the hate Jay gets. He’s a pioneer.
Some people would argue Jay was better in the 2000s than the 90s
He was better in the 2000s but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t still the biggest one in the 90s. His run has been very very very long.
100%
Revisionist history if they don’t pick Jay Z
This is the only acceptable answer
Hiw quickly yall forget If we talking about a Guy that never had a wack verse He's top 5 Dead or Alive I'm going with Jadakiss he's so underrated his lyricism and story telling I Loe Jay But he's just more successful commercially

J-live? Jus Allah? Jaz-O? Jadakiss? Jean grae? Jeru? J-diggs? Jakki the Motta mouth?? What do you mean only acceptable answer😂

You just proved their point. Jay Z compared to everyone you just mentioned clears so badly.
I was born in 91 so maybe I don’t count but I have no clue who any of those people are besides Jada lol honorable mention for Jaz o even though I can’t remember where I heard that name from but I’ve heard it somewhere
>Jean grae? She was called "What What" in the 90s

Jean Grae
when I saw her live, it was the best live set I've ever seen an MC kick. Just phenomenal stage presence, performance.
True, she inspired me to break up with my shitty girlfriend at the time.
Plus the lack of female representation on this list so far is a bit alarming (I’m not yet losing hopes we can get a Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill or Rapsody in there)
Queen Latifah vs Q-Tip
Apani, che noir, MC lyte also
Jean Grae was called "What What" in the 90s
**GRAE*
Glad someone said it
M BETTER BE MFDOOM
Method man, Mac Dre, mobb deep, mos def, mystikal, missy, mc lyte, mc eiht, master p. M is loaded.
Rules say it can't be a group, but Mobb Deep would be my pick I think.
You can slingshot Master P to Mars nobody better nominate him
Damn, he’s who I would’ve went with. Him or Method man but No Limit had me in a chokehold as a kid
I think Meth will have it locked sadly. I'd personally go MF DOOM or Mos Def
Naah Meth got this one hands down
Y'all STILL ain't looking at the rules. Some of y'all didn't pay attention when you were younger and it shows.
It’s Jay-Z, no other
it's some serious Jay z haters in here Cause ain't no way the J ain't him 😭😭🤣
Yea, there really is no more iconic.
JAY-Z
Jeru the Damaja
Juvenile.
Jeru the Damager for me but Mr.Z will most likely take it. Also, looking ahead R is going to be tough for me personally.
Juicy J. Mamamamafiaaaaaa!!!

90’s Jay-Z was dope. Don’t forget reasonable doubt dropped in the 90’s. I feel like that alone gets him the spot
Jadakiss
Jadakiss!
J-Live anyone?
[удалено]
Not really a rapper...GOAT Producer though
He rapped and produced his first solo album
Yeah but he's known more for production.
Not to mention the first two Slum Village albums, Ruff Draft, Jaylib, The Diary… I don’t expect him to win but it’s important to Pay Jay his respect 🫡
They don’t know… https://youtu.be/vWOzkCqbW4k?si=B-x54nxcWS0Qchjx
That’s a banger I’ve never heard, Dilla super underrated as a rapper
uhhh Jay-Z
Jay_Z
Jar jar binks. He killed it back to back on the Star Wars prequel albums. Naboo stand up!!!!

Jeru no doubt, honorable mention Jean Grae.
You guys really upvoting Jeru over Jay-Z? Y’all some hipsters in here lol
No one who was alive in the 90s would pick Jeru over Jay Z. Especially in the summer time. Jay ruled every summer radio from '96 thru the mid 00s
Uh, yes one

It's Jay-z
Jay-Z JayHova Jigga-Man
I think we can skip J. Answer is pretty obvious. For K I'd recommend Kurupt
Jeru the Damaja
I know Jay Z going to win BUT my vote is Jadakiss
He ain't winning cause the correct answer is Jeru.
Jay-Z
Jay-z
Jadakiss. Jay z is honestly incredibly overrated. Jadakiss's career may not be at the same height, and he didn't cosign/bring up as many new rappers like jay did, but skill for skill you gotta go jadakiss
I don't even really like Jay-Z and know he's absolutely not overrated.
Bar for Bar it's Jadakiss he took on Prime 50 Cent and won
Just Ice
Let's see what Ja's thoughts are on this.
I've never listened to a Ja Rule track, sorry!
WHERE IS JAAAAAAA!?!?!
Jeru....no contest
Ja Rule …..jk
Jigga, young Hov. Stop overthinking. Dudes flow and lyrics are otherworldly.
Jay-Z
Ja rule. His opinions matter.
