The 10 Best Rappers of All Time

Drake is the most commercially successful non-American rapper. Drake Graham (his surname) was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and was first known as a child actor in the Canadian teen drama series ‘Degrassi: The Next Generation’. Ultimately Drake decided to switch the acting world for the world of music.

Drake was just ranked the 16th greatest artist of all time.

• Eminem.
• Rakim.
• Nas.
• Andre 3000.
• Lauryn Hill.
• Ghostface Killah.
• Kendrick Lamar.
• Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne’s commercial success speaks for itself — just ask Elvis, whom Weezy surpassed three years ago as the artist with the most Billboard Hot 100 hits of all time.

5 rap records that break the sound barrier

1. Tech N9ne ft Busta Rhymes, Yelawolf, Twisted Insane, Ceza, JL, Twista, U$O & D-Loc – Worldwide Choppers.
2. Eminem – Godzilla.
3. Twista ft Jaime Foxx & Kanye West – Slow Jamz.
4. Dizzee Rascal – Jus’ A Rascal.
5. Busta Rhymes – Break Ya Neck.

For a better comparison, Eminem rhymes at 6.46 words per second during a 15-second span, which aligns with Diggs’ performance in Hamilton as Lafayette. Most of the performers display their ability to entertain through specific annunciations and scripted wordplay, but it’s Diggs who rhymes at the fastest rate.

Eminem’s New Track ‘Godzilla’ Just Broke the World Record for Fastest Rap Verse. The controversial artist spits bars at 10.65 syllables per second on the track’s third verse. That works out to an average of 10.65 syllables per second, or 7.23 words per second.

Twista: The Chicago native Twista was entered into the 1992 Guinness Book for being the fastest rapper in history, at a rate of 11.2 syllables per second.

Eminem released Rap God seven years ago today and it became the title holder for ‘Fastest rap in a number one single’ with 97 words in 15 seconds – 6.46 words per second. He topped this in Godzilla with 225 words in 30 seconds – 7.5 words per second.
