Best Rap Songs of the 21st Century

The Top Ten
1 Lose Yourself - Eminem

Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time. His delivery is outstanding. He stresses certain syllables making impossible words rhyme. He is a no doubt the greatest lyrical rapper that's ever lived and Lose Yourself is his greatest masterpiece. No doubt the greatest lyrical song ever written!

Writing this amazing song whilst filming * mile only marshall could do that hats off. If I fell asleep in front of the T.V. deep deep sleep that intro would wake me up into a fantastic 6 minute world well worth a million oscars. He the man biatch!

2 99 Problems - Jay-Z

It just sound amazing. And Stronger, Through the Wire, and Jesus Walks are all better than Gold Digger.

I got 99 Problems why isn't this number 1?

3 Stronger - Kanye West

From top 10 rap songs of 21st century 6 songs are from kanye west and every one of them is amazing but this song... I could listen to it whole day and than again and again...

4 Runaway - Kanye West

The only reason that this masterpiece is not in the top 10, or top 20 at least, is how underrated it is.

5 Dance with the Devil - Immortal Technique

This song is unbelievable. More than 6 minutes of rapping in this song. Unbelievable story telling in this song.

If more people really searched for the truth in hip hop, this song would be in the top 3.

This is one of the greatest song in rap history.

6 Gold Digger - Kanye West

Yeah, this is easily one of the best rap songs of the 21st century.

7 Jesus Walks - Kanye West
8 Diamonds from Sierra Leone - Kanye West

It good and I love it and I would rate it 10/10 and its cool and how do I make this more than poor :s anyway I'm just gunna write until its like the best possibl. E and I like the way its nice to slaves. There we go finnaly the blue bar has popped up

9 Rap God - Eminem

When I heard it first I was like... Eminem is the best rapper... Really a Rap God... Why be a king when you can be the god... Hats off to you

Wow, wow, wow unbelievable man, love Eminem should be no. 2or3. Eminem forever!

A very good song, but I wouldn't place it in my top 10.

10 Through the Wire - Kanye West
The Contenders
11 In Da Club - 50 Cent

In the Club is a good song. The beat is hard, and it fits perfectly with 50's lyrics and flow.

The only song that I have never gotten tiered of.

12 Money Trees - Kendrick Lamar

One of the best rap song in this century and jay's verse is so underrated

This is song is a hidden gem, very happy it got recognition on this list

13 The New Workout Plan - Kanye West
14 Slow Jamz - Kanye West, Twista & Jamie Foxx
15 Beautiful - Eminem

Just listen to it, and your respect for him (musical talent and otherwise) will skyrocket. Trust me.

Not only the best rap song of the 21st century, the best song of all time.

Shouldn't be this high, but it's in the top ten Eminem songs for me

16 Hey Ya! - Outkast
17 Mirror - Lil Wayne
18 Hero - Nas
19 A Milli - Lil Wayne
20 Hot in Herre - Nelly
21 Izzo (H.O.V.A.) - Jay-Z

Love this song, it's an Anthem. I don't really know why Miss Me is in here, it's not even the best on the album.

22 When I'm Gone - Eminem
23 'Till I Collapse - Eminem

Ultimate song everybody should listen it's very close to lose yourself and should be second after that... Real rap is in this song

my favorite song ever. The music and the rhythm and rhyme is so lit and dope. When you got a goated rapper, rhyme and rhythm in a song, It's gotta get people hyped and you got yourself a real rap song

24 Without Me - Eminem

Witty, humorous, great beat and sung by one of the best rappers there is- what more do you need with a song.

I absolutely love this song. It's funny, catchy, and memorable.

25 Hate It or Love It - The Game & 50 Cent

Seriously how is this so l ow? I t this was so damn good even if game may not have written all the verses. And kill you which is from a brilliant album, is higher than this as well as hot in here? I mean game is just too underrated I mean the bitchass muthaers at the grammys have robbed him of a nomination for best rap album I mean really encore got nominated instead of this brilliant piece of work, sure the documentary had name calling, but encore had weird noises such as a personating. Then in 08' they nominated kingdom come which is famous for being a bad album instead of doctor's advocate which isn't greatest of all time but it's miles ahead of kingdom come. I get it he's a real thug but people are brought up into these types of lives. Man that was a long rant. BUT This message about the levels that game is underrated and treated unfairly.
