Dumbest Rappers of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Lil Wayne Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was discovered by Brian "Baby" "Birdman" Williams at a very young age, and was signed to Cash Money Records, where he would be one quarter of the rap group Hot Boys. In the years to follow, he would go on to find his own label, Young Money, where he would sign popular artists such as Drake, Nicki Minaj and Tyga, and he would go on to be one of the most popular rappers of all time. ...read more.

First off, I have to admit, that I do like Lil' Wayne AS A FEATURED ARTIST and nothing more. He definitely adds good guest verses to Kelly Rowland's "Motivation" and Kevin Rudolph's "Let It Rock". I think if I had to listen to an entire song of just his voice, I'd end up dead, spazzin out on my living room floor with one eye twitching. His liberal use of auto-tune on EVERYTHING is enough to want your ears sewn shut. Said use of auto-tune, makes his already barely intelligible voice and lyrics sound like an alien language that no one, not even himself could decipher. Lastly, as has already been mentioned by others is that his lyrical themes are so redundant and predictable that the public knows what his next song is about before he's even written it. And his lyrics aren't even clever (most of the time) like a rapper's should be, just straight, direct, words with no underlying meaning or metaphorical translation. A rapper is supposed to have clever, slick, and (gasp) lyrics that make ...more

He's stupid but pretty much all mainstream hip hop is now. I keep seeing people talk about listening to Eminem, Dr dre etc for real hip hop and to a point I agree. But their music still talks about the same subjects just in a more intellectual way. What about sage Francis, atmosphere, phi life cipher? Rappers who talk about wider society and have the ability to manipulate words and phrases, that's true intelligence

Man Lil Wayne go in when he want to only but most of the time he sucks. look at his mix tape sorry 4 the wait 2 he sounds like he was back in 08. Can someone tell me why even reference Tupac to Lil Wayne? If you don't like Lil Wayne and wanna listen to so called "real rap" bust that in your car loud. If I had $5 for every time someone brought up Eminem, kendrick, biggie, Tupac, or J. Cole, I would be a millionaire already.

His meaningless lyrics about cash, hoes, and drugs are not even understandable because of his outrageously raspy voice. All of his songs are basically the same, with just a different beat. The only rapper worse than him is maybe Lil Jon. If you want to listen to real rap, choose Eminem, Tupac, Biggie, Nas, or Dr. Dre.

2 Nicki Minaj Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist. Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang". Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably distinctive for her fast flow and her use of alter egos with Cockney accent. She has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi. Minaj has received ten Grammy-nominations throughout her career, and has won multiple awards including the Billboard's Women in Music 2011 Rising Star award.

I used to have respect for her just because she was one of the few female rappers that were in the game. Songs like "Autobiography" and "Dear Old Nicki" were very good in my opinion. But then she became too mainstream and she turned into a pop artist and started making trashy meaningless music. This girl gives hip hop a bad name.

You have no business critiquing music. You have no idea what you are talking about. On a 1 to 10 scale of your capability and knowledge of Hip Hop (rap) is negative
99.

A stupid girl that thinks that rap is all about dissing latest work she insulted muslims

She thinks 'Stupid Hoe' and 'Anaconda' would be a great hit because of her boobs and ass. Plastic surgery only makes you uglier. No one wants to watch a swear mashup with asses and boobs.

3 Soulja boy DeAndre Cortez Way (born July 28, 1990), known professionally as Soulja Boy Tell 'Em or simply Soulja Boy, is an American rapper and record producer. In September 2007, his debut single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" peaked at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The single was initially self-published to the internet, and later became a number-one hit in the United States for seven non-consecutive weeks starting in September 2007. On August 17, Way was listed at number 18 on the Forbes list of Hip-Hop Cash Kings of 2010 for earning $7 million that year.

He's by far the dumbest individual I've ever seen in my life. Stupid tattoos, skinny and malnourished but acts like a tough guy, horrible music, and he's got a big mouth.

He's only famous because of that dumbass song (Crank That)on YouTube, he's garbage!
That song is the only reason Soulja Boy became famous and overrated! He's an insult to The Game and he doesn't deserve any of the credit he gets!

I Love hip-hop/rap but Soulja Boy is the worst rapper ever if not the worst musician ever.

I wish I could make a couple mil by making complete garbage but alas I'm too talented...

4 Lil Jon Jonathan Smith, better known by his stage name Lil Jon, is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur, DJ and actor.

Just a bunch of hollering in songs. How this guy has fans, I will never know,

No skill. Nothing cool or hip about him. Shouldn't even be considered a rapper. Pathetic, Lil Jon.

He's ugly, he's stupid, he can't rap at all, and he gives good artists like Steve Aoki a bad name. Damn him!

Boring overrated and no flow

5 Drake Aubrey Drake Graham, known professionally as Drake, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, born on October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Canada. He started his career on Canadian reality show "Degrassi: The Next Generation".

I don't understand people take this guys side, I don't hate him because I try not to hate people but I hate his music and how he tries to act like he's a G. Drake to me tries to hard and acts completely different when interviewed, and he didn't start from. The bottom because you need a certain income to live in the neighborHood he lived in. Drake also tries to get his street crid by throwing whine bottles and catching bodies like that.

How is Jay-Z even on this list? Sorry, I need to get that out. Drake is bad though. He was originally good, but started to go down when he started to give up on his RnB career.

I don't hate him, but he's not a "good" rapper, he's okay. Have you heard his latest diss track (meek diss)? That's the worst rap I've ever heard.

He's good but he is kind of short. That's why in his music videos when he's with somebody he is in the front.

6 Hichkas Sorush Lashkary (born May 10, 1985) better known by his stage name Hichkas (Persian: Hiĉkas - هیچکس‎‎; meaning "Nobody") is an Iranian rapper from Tehran. Hichkas is considered as one of pioneers of "Persian Rap" and "Persian Urban music.

King of world rap

What? Hichkas is one of the best rappers in the world remove it from this list

Hichkas best in the world

This is a good voice of Persian rap

7 Chief Keef Keith Farelle Cozart, better known by his stage name Chief Keef, is an American rapper and record producer from Chicago, Illinois.

He's an immature little brat. I mean, Katy Perry just said she didn't like his song (and rightfully so, may I add) and he flippin' threatened her. He should just go die and make the world a better place. To the person below- yes, I would, then I would laugh at his pathetic, petty insults.

The inventor of Drill Music is on this mf list?! I'm done. He realer than most rappers, but he #5 on this list? Okay. None of you would say this to his face. You don't know about the hood. Just a bunch of people on they computers. Hope you meet him one day.

When you post a picture of yourself getting head and lose your instagram account as a result, I am sorry you deserve a spot on this list!

Chief keef is absolutely the worst rapper ever to touch this earth, people who disagre is probably smokin what he is before he goes in the booth.

8 2 Chainz Tauheed Epps, known by his stage names 2 Chainz and formerly Tity Boi, is an American rapper from College Park, Georgia, and is often regarded as one of the most mediocre rappers of recent years. He started out in the southern rap duo Playaz Circle with fellow rapper Dolla Boy, before he would become a solo artist and change his stage name. He is known for songs such as No Lie, Birthday Song, Spend It, It's a Vibe and Feds Watching, and he is also known for contributing guest verses to other artists such as Jason Derulo, B.o.B, Juicy J, Drake, Kanye West and Lil Wayne. He is often criticized for having simple and sometimes goofy, nonsensical lyrics somewhat reminiscent of Lil Wayne, for primarily ...read more.

I think he should be tied with first. He got his ass whooped by Dollar Dollar so he changed his name and all of a sudden he's the most heard mainstream rapper. You should've quit when you got your ass whooped. What kind of name is Two pistols? Even your name makes you sound stupid and now when you change it you get all these props. Get the hell out the game

He's a straight dumbass he has no lyrics that take any thought to come up with, one of his lines is "they ask me how I come up with this s*** in the studio" if anyone actually asked that they should seek mental help right away because all his songs consist of is "f****** bitches and hoes"

Why would you call yourself 2 Chainz but you brag about having more money than everybody. Biggie probably got 2 thousand chains. Jeez even Lil Wayne's a little better than you as bad as he is. by the way if you're gonna call yourself different, rap about different stuff.

His songs don't make any sense to me. He just raps about what everyone is rapping about so he ain't different. He says the same over and over. Birthday song was an embarrassment. How do they call themselves Rappers.

9 Eminem Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is an American rapper, actor and music producer born on October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Eminem has sold over 300 million records making him the bestselling hip-hop artist of all time. In addition to his solo career, he is a member of D12 and (with Royce da 5'9") half of the hip-hop duo Bad Meets Evil. Rolling Stone ranked him 83rd on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, calling him the King of Hip Hop. Including his work with D12 and Bad Meets Evil, Eminem has had ten number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and 5 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, and 13 worldwide.

I'm not a rap person, but I think that Eminem should not be on this list. I mean like, there are only a handful of white rappers, but I think he is the best one I have heard. makclmeore sucks because he is not actual rap he does more pop genre. I actually really like the song rap god.

Are you kidding me? Eminem is legendary, and for a reason. All those saying he's just "angry white trash" don't see where he's coming from. Ef off, haters.

No shady is the best not the worst he does not belong in hear that's crap Eminem is the best rapper ever

Did anybody here even flicked through his lyrics? He is like the only rapper who actually have meanings in lyrics

10 Waka Flocka Flame Juaquin James Malphurs, better known by his stage name Waka Flocka Flame or simply Waka Flocka, is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia.

I actually love waka flocka I'm not sure how he's on this list. Just because he may slur at times doesn't mean he is terrible

He is straight garbage, bad lyrics with bad beats and a bad voice.

He's actually an intelligent dude. He may no sound like it, but he actually got a 34 on the ACT.

Quit hating you know you wouldn't say it to his face you all fake

The Contenders
11 Jay-z Shawn Corey Carter, known by his stage name JAY-Z, is an American rapper, record producer, entrepreneur and investor born on December 4, 1969 in Brooklyn, New York. He is best known for his albums Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and The Black Album. He is considered to be one of the best rappers of all time.

Jay Z you kidding me the man is so inspirational he is one of the best rappers like 2pac, biggie, Eminem, nas, dr. Dre, kendrick lamar not like Lil Wayne, 2 chainz, wacka folcka flame or young thug.

He actually has one of the best lyrics and is one of the best rappers right now

It is actually rare for someone to have that type of talent plus he's damn rich and livin a good life

If you want to hear him rap then listen to:
99 problems
Empire state of mind
Renegade
Run this town
Holy grail

Think twice before you put it up

Well he may not be as stupid as most rappers but he is sell out. Began with some meaning behind his words now its just garbage. No mainstream rapper is any good, they all suck and rap about stupid things. You wont real rap turn the radio off! Stop listening to these sell out mainstream artists who only seem to be able to rap about money, drugs and hoes. Look at me, look at me I am so cool! Mainstream destroys music.

Listening to jay z just irritates me. His voice is like ugh and he has no flow either all in all he's a stupid ass...

You all are autistic if you think jay z is one of the worst rappers of all time

12 Cardi B Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar (born October 11, 1992), known professionally as Cardi B, is an American rapper. Born and raised in New York City, she became an Internet celebrity by achieving popularity on Vine and Instagram. From 2015 to 2017, she appeared as a regular cast member on the VH1 reality television series Love & Hip Hop: New York, which depicted her pursuit of her music aspirations. She... read more

She is a total retard. I feel like I lose IQ points every time I hear her talk. Quite possibly the dumbest, most ratchet, uninformed, useless person out there. Even actually mental "retarded" people are better than her, at least they're nice to people. This thing is a piece of garbage who needs to burn in hell.

She's a joke especially when she tried to talk about politics. Her views on politics are pretty ridiculous but thanks to Candace Owens she walked away looking like papa doc from the 8 mile in the end.

My IQ literally drops 5 points every time I listen to her speak.

13 Lil Pump Gazzy Garcia (known professionally as Lil Pump, born August 17th, 2000) is an American rapper, producer and songwriter. Gazzy began his career in 2016 with a collaboration freestyle with Smokepurpp, which was eventually posted in Soundcloud to popular success. He broke out to mainstream the following ...read more.

"If you're going 70 miles per hour, how long will it take you to drive 70 miles?"
Lil Pump: 70!

"What's the difference between America and the United States?"
Lil Pump: Well, America is more north, and the United States is more south.

He's an absolute moron. Should definitely be in the top five.

Polluted rap With mumbles and bragging about what he owns

Lil pump is by far the dumbest person I've ever seen.

14 P. Diddy

I don't really care for Diddy. When I use to go to Stanley Kaplan agency he use to send us on music videos. I accepted to the offer to be in Puffy Comb Music video even though everyone said he's an ass. I had one of the most unforgettable experience ever he treated us worse then a clans man. In my opinion he is the biggest slave driver I have ever met and I never got paid. I you realize no extras wants to be in his video that experience him before. After that whole encounter I never brought his music never watch his shows I like his coconut Cirok but I had stop drinking it once I found out it was from him. He is a messed Up Human being a skin head ebony.

I don't like him because he raps fast for slow songs. And because I love 2pac

He's THE DAMP RICHEST RAPPER NOW. How can he be dumb

Is this a joke? Diddy actually has a lot of skill! And above Soulja Boy?

15 Silento Richard Lamar Hawk, better known by his stage name Silentó, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor. He is best known for his debut single "Watch Me", which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. Recently, he is also known for murdering his cousin and is currently in prison.

He had one huge hit and now people think they can play that song all the time

He literally only has one song and that song only has a hook..

16 Young Dolph

I feel less intelligent after I listen to this guy's music.

Raps like he has an extra chromosome

18 Kanye West Ye (born Kanye Omari West; June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer and fashion designer. He is regarded as one of the most influential, as well as controversial, artists of the 21st century. ...read more.

I wouldn't mind the fool if he'd just quit feeling himself. This guy thinks he's something special, man this guy needs to learn his fans got him where he is today before he pisses them off. Also marrying Kim Kardashian? He thinks marrying a white girl with a big butt and no brains makes him successful... Black women should be offended. Need I quote "leave yo ass for a white girl" from one of his songs? Rap is all about being real with where you come from, rap took poor black men off the streets, gave the black kids hope for a better life that were living in the ghettos trying to stay out of real gangs. Kanye needs to humble himself. I like seeing people make money and become successful but I can't stand the ones that think they're suddenly above everyone. And just to be clear I'm cool with interracial love, but this guy got in it for all the wrong reasons. Marrying white doesn't make you more successful

How can he not be on the top of this list?
Don't get me wrong I love his music and lyrics, but come on, he is by far the most unintelligent in hiphop.
He is actually so dumb, that it's actualy entertaining...

I love Kanye but he's a retarded douchebag if I have to be honest. I mean marrying kim Kardashian just no Kanye just no, and he thinks he's god, I mean sometimes I just think, Kanye, shut up.

This guys is probably the dumbest on the list. Bad thing is that he thinks he is more intelligent than everyone else!
This guy is a major Idiot, what a D. Bag!

Gucci is "stoopid". Seriously dawg just give up. I mean we know you're "wasted" but do you have to sing like you really are wasted?

This man has an ice cream cone tattooed across his cheek. AN ICE CREAM CONE. Let that sink in.
