Best MC to Debut in the last 5 years

[Scáth Bán]

Today, some kid asked me who I thought was the best MC to show up in the past 5 years, and a shitload of artists ran through my head and I just started spittin' random people.

He said "Kanye West", a good rapper (but to me easily questionable as one of the best rappers to debut recently)...and also feeling like it's impossible to compare rappers if the other person hasn't heard of any of the people you mention, I just sat back neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

But the shit has got me thinking...

Name your top 3 rappers/group that released their first album in the past 5 years.

(There's prolly been another thread like this, but I haven't seen one...

[11th Chamber]

the last 5 years?? thats tough.

For me, prolly The Game. Thats countin his mixtape shit tho, not just his 2 albums

IDK, kinda hard to answer the given question, as I can think of a bunch of cats

[maestro wooz]

bronze nazareth

[Kenny Powers]

yeah the game is a good call. its kinda sad when looking back at the last 5 years, there hasnt been a stand out mc to take over. maybe papoose or saigon can make it happen.

[TUCO]

the game has talent but ehhhh feelin himself too much

dun wanna sound like a wu nerd but Trife really catches my ear

[mad dzawg]

If we're only talking about solo artist then Bronze and Cilva are gonna get alot of votes for this thread. Mainstream wise i would say Kanye, Game, or Juelz. My pick for best group would be Little Brother.

[PLO-Stylez]

I like Kanye's production but don't like him on the mic. He annoys me. Game would be the only one that immediatly pops into mind but he needs to shut up with all the beef. Just get over yourself for 5 seconds and rap.

No one has really in the last five years really come out and just be consistant and shown real promise for the future. You get good verses here and there but then they do some wack shit. Someone mentioned Papoose or Saigon could do it but we just wait and see.

[Scáth Bán]

I'm not really talking about whose going to take over commercially, just new people you think are ill.

Here's (more than 3) what I could think of:
Vakill
Afu-Ra
Papoose
Zion I
One Be Lo
Saigon
Immortal Technique
Cunninlynguists

[mad dzawg]

Damn, i forgot about Papoose.

[Dokuro]

(ovcorse im counting dabue albums only and mixtaps )

Christ

Miky Rocks

Cilva

Papoos

Eslam

Lady sovereign

KapitaL

[Jim Kelly]

I'm not really talking about whose going to take over commercially, just new people you think are ill.

Here's (more than 3) what I could think of:
Vakill
Afu-Ra
Papoose
Zion I
One Be Lo
Saigon
Immortal Technique
Cunninlynguists

Some good artists on your list, but I'd probably have to say:

Brother Ali
One.Be.Lo
Vakill or Immortal Technique

I like Saigon, and the Cunninlynguists (although they're a group), but I can't add Saigon to the list until he at least drops a damn album.

[maestro wooz]

bronze nazareth

[murkoutz]

kanye is nice to me. i mean he dicks himself hard but dude backs it up lyrically. he done more shit in a song then most niggas say they whole album.
lupe is solid so far may be too soon to judge, obie my dude i guess it been that many kickass new artist lately. hmm. kinda miss the 90's

[The Lost Prophet]

immortal technique

one be lo-this dudes flow is just so smooth and original yet old school at the same time and to me his shit keeps getting better which is a true sign of a real GREAT mc

apathy but cunninglyguists def got a hold of my ear cuz thats mad nice production

[VallKano]

killa Sha And Domination

[Ghost Deini]

One Be Lo
Little Brother is dope
the Deltron album was 2001 loll if that counts
Bronze Nazareth

[tical2000]

thats tough since rap has been in a downward spiral for the last 5 years......seems like all these new rappers are absolute trash pop rappers......the only cat I can think of is KANYE WEST that is decent......

.....shit that is sad, hip hop is really on life support

[Edgar Erebus]

Papoose and Saigon, actually, too bad they are stuck on dumb mixtapes.

[crass]

the game has talent but ehhhh feelin himself too much

dun wanna sound like a wu nerd but Trife really catches my ear

eh, i think trife sounds like a wannabe Big L and he raps about the same shit all the time.

[Ghost Deini]

I like Trife. Still to be seen if he can carry an album but as a companion to Ghost's stuff and other Wu-related shit he's pretty dope.

[Longbongcilvaringz]

haha, all these people saying juelz and kanye, we just need someone to mention a member of the clipse and its complete.

you guys like terrible mc's.

[BRONZBODY]

Papoose and Saigon, actually, too bad they are stuck on dumb mixtapes.true,id say both of those guys but until they relase actual albums ill go with little brother

[UNCLE RUCKUS]

haha, all these people saying juelz and kanye, we just need someone to mention a member of the clipse and its complete.

you guys like terrible mc's.

The Clipse and Juelz Santana arent even in the same league


I´d say Akir, C-Rayz Walz, Papoose, Saigon, Pack FM, Kenn Starr, Chaundon

[Dante]

Saigon

[Mista JpKoff]

louis logic

[WuGambino]

Immortal Technique

[Kenny Powers]

It would be Immortal Technique, but he is not eligable for this thread because it is the best MC to debut in the last 5 years, and Revolutionary Vol.1 came out in 2001.

[NAKHI the SOLORIAN]

Papoose....Saigon.....Sy Scott


other than that no one

[Jon Quest]

papoose
kanye west
game
lupe
lil wayne version 2

[mofo]

Even though R.A the rugged man has been in the game for years, he officially debuted in 04-05.

Anyways, my thoughts is probably Lupe, Game, Talib Kweli (solo), Papoose, Saigon, Kanye........fuck it, it's basically the same shit everyone is saying.

[DR. NICK RIVIERA]

Bronze

as a group Little Brother and Wisemen

[Osi]

Lupe
Bronze Nazareth

If RA counts then him definitely, kinda hard to say he debuted when he's been around a long time though.

[Energy Turtle]

papoose ... but this mofo is doing too many mixtapes
c rayz walz

[Come Honor Face]

haha, all these people saying juelz and kanye, we just need someone to mention a member of the clipse and its complete.

you guys like terrible mc's.

LOL I was thinkin tha same thing

[Come Honor Face]

Kanye West is a fantabulous producer! As far as his lyrics and delivery he is truly very VERY WACK! AYO KANYE STICK @ PRODUCING!

[Energy Turtle]

but kanye west has been producing for a long time ... he's been on some b-sides and remix's and cameos for people for a while aswell ...

[The Remix103]

1. Kanye West

2. Joe Budden

3. Saigon

4. Lupe Fiasco

5. hmm...bishop lamont maybe

[Longbongcilvaringz]

louis logic


definitely one of the top 5 in the last 5 years.

[GSTYLE]

I know people wont like my choices, but...

The Game
Young Jeezy

they are about the only ones i can think of. Game came with 2 great albums and a different style, as was Jeezy, his debut was great.

[UNCLE RUCKUS]

only foreigners hate on The Clipse for their lyrics which tells me youre not getting it

[Edgar Erebus]

Lupe Fiasco, oh shit I forgot him! Okay, now it's triumvirate: Lupe Fiasco, Papoose and Saigon.

[beardman]

Immortal Technique
Bronze Nazareth
Akir
________
vapor genie vaporizer (http://www.vaporshop.com/vaporgenie-vaporizer.html)

[abasi]

hip hop is hurtin


game is a good rapper but he has some of the best production the same goes for kanye

[SID]

lupe fiasco an immortal

[wuswordz95]

sun god and trife da god

[11th Chamber]

nice to see Joe Budden get a few mentions. He shits all over Papoose, imo

[xHard to Earnx]

Saigon
TI (I think he just makes it)
Clipse

If TI was 01, then I don't know. Papoose or something, though if one dude's gonna say Wayne 2.0, then I'll go with that.

[Polocash7]

Lupe and One Be Lo LPs are beyond dope

One Be Lo
Lupe
Immortal Technique
Silent Knight(dont sleep)

[NAKHI the SOLORIAN]

oh yea I forgot Thirstin Howl III he shits on alot of today's rapper thugs

[Dante]

I forgot about Joe Budden.

Him and Saigon for sure.
