DMX, born Earl Simmons, was a legendary rapper who rose to prominence in the 1990s thanks to a unique sound and unmistakable authenticity. The New York-born artist was especially known for his deep voice and ability to growl and bark. But that’s not what made him such a beloved and original kind of artist: He was also open and vulnerable about his struggles with substance abuse, legal problems and family issues. Still, he had plenty of hype songs, including the classic “Party Up.” The “Ruff Ryders” emcee passed away in the spring of 2021 after an overdose, as fans held vigils outside his hospital. He continues to serve as an inspiration for artists and listeners who need his energy and honesty.

Missy deserved.

@early

they couldve atleast included the best white rapper for the top 10

They put Cardi, MIA, Takeoff, Bad Bunny, and Juice WRLD on this list

But not Earl Sweatshirt ??????

What's wrong with MIA having been included.

Em is there

slim jesus 10x better u kidding?

Leave M.I.A out of this

Bad bunny is a rapper

J Cole is the 4th best rapper of all time

I made Forbes list, f*** your list

KTTcore

J Cole above PAC

Nicki above NAS

Other than Nas placement this actually is a respectable 10

This is better than Billboards 10

Drake above Nas

the allegedly 10th greatest rapper of all time, everybody

here u go

They real for that not gonna lie

When I’ve been making my lists with criteria, cole beats a lot of people because he scores so high in so many categories

Eminem shouldn’t even be in the top ten tbh

Neither should Cole

Rocky over Tyler yup

To clarify I mean Nas being too low

But the names are pretty deserving. Cole and Em don’t make mine personally but I can see an argument

No hate, but point is Earl absolutely deserves a spot if those artist secured a spot

Bruh is responsible for a whole wave of hip hop
