France is the second biggest Hip hop market after the US, should definitely be #2 on this list

puissant

Next level!

Americsn rappers are the original and the one with the realest rappers, therefore I voted for USA.

German rappers are almost always entertainment and hardly authentic with too many wannsbe thug rappers. But they have an unusually high number of multisyllabic rappers. There are several rappers (best may be Kollegah and SpongeBozz) who hardly have less than five rhyming syllabics. There's one song by Kollegah from his "Hoodtape Vol. 2" mixtape where he uses the same rhyme structure throughout the entire song (meaning he finds about 50 rhymes for the same sentence). They have a high technical skill and there are many doubletime rappers like Tech N9ne, as well as very clever and intelligent word plays and double entendres where you have to think for a few seconds before you get them. And in the early to mid 2010s, there was such excessive amount of all those qualities you felt completely blown away when you bought the newest rap albums.

Also, I love that many German hip hop ...more - Martin_Canine

While infested with many wannabe gangstas, at this point the german rap scene surpassed every other one when it comes to deep,lyrical and multisyllabil rap. Moreover it has a very vital underground. It is just sad that many mainstream artists still try to imitate trends from the US and France.

Where is senegal? - pouria_mt

Just check Ezhel.

Sagopa and Ceza are best.

Turkish rap is definitely the best, not enough people know about it though, it’s underrated, but it is still the best

The best MC of the Turkey (Maybe of the Europe) and rapper, Sagopa Kajmer.

Unikkatil is the best albanian rapper

Mc Kresha best rapper alive

One of the best rap

Ever heard TBA,Hellbanianz,Babastars, Mozzik or Don Phenom. Just listen to some of their songs. You will understand.

Italy took American hip hop culture and interpreted trough its own centuries-old culture producing some extremely fine pieces of music

Bro this list is so wrong I’m from America and I literally like Italian rap more than any country. Seriously these people have obviously not listened to it but Italian rappers are so talented especially because Italian language is very difficult to make into rap. Words are weird and rhyming is hard. List sucks.

Italian rap is the top. What a retarded list

Italy ha THE BEST RAP! THIS LIST IS SOOO WRONG (no offense but it just is ) how is Morocco third and the country that is second in Europe 26 when Germany is third that in a European list Germany is 6th

South Africa has a variety of potential world class acts, who have their own unique style and sound. The Hip Hop sounds are vibrant and refreshing from repetitive styles you hear from other places. Notable artists include Kwesta, AKA,Cassper Nyovest and Nasty C.

South Africa has rappers that can compete with the best international artists,artists like AKA,Cassper Nyovest and younger artists like Nasty C and A-Reece.

It has good rappers

A huge diversity of hip hop, just search nasty c, Aka, emtee, kwesta and Casper and you'll never get disappointed

You guys can't be serious with this poll! Nigeria is the Jerusalem of African Hip Hop

Nigeria is the number 1

Nigerian should be first among all african countries

Meant to be second or third

We keepin it real outchea so proud of my country..najivunia kuwa mtanzania

Large selection of

In my opinion one of the best rap in the world. A really big scene with a lot of good rappers with diverse styles

Its just the best

Yeah, Quebonafide is the best

Its very very good it has to be number 2 or 3 because I think us is still better

Why is this even a question? The Netherlands should be number one!

Their flow is on point. And it's so good to turn up to

Definitely nothing beats these tunes, the texts are also really good but most people wont understand since it is Dutch of course.

The best after USA

Greek rap culture is very much underground with a few mainstream hitwonders but always pure and with great intellegence. Strong bars with melancholic beats. Authenticity is key. The Greek rap scene is one of a kind. Beter than dutch I think from a lyrical standpoint. But not so good in recognition. They miss a unique sound like dutch, french and german rap have. Anyway for me top 15 maybe top 10 for sure

Greek rap for the win - blackphoenix

Greek Rap is amazing man. You have to look up Light, Slogan, and Ypo

Hip Hop's becoming more trendy and mainstream recently. Many youngsters in Korea can rap at high level since so many of them dream of becoming a rap star

Hip Hop's de definitely growing in Korea. It's becoming more mainstream and there are a lot of famous youngsters who can rap at such high level. (Thanks to the show: show me the money)

I think kpop rap is the kind of rap that tells mean things

Jay Park. Zico. Keith Ape. Beenzino. The list goes on and on; Korean rap is absolutely amazing and holds a special place in my heart. Even the simple Soundcloud rappers from this country are suprisingly really good. Really deserves to be higher on the list!

Slovakia has amazing rappers who rap about important stuff. The best rapper is Rytmus.

A lot of talented hip hop artists like Separ, Rytmus, Ego, Kali or another artists.

Tracks aren't "flat" they are lyric perfection.. In the track slovak rapper don't talk only about bitches and money.. almost every track is about some Common Problem.. like Rytmus - Povolanie Syn (Its about kids who were born to the rich families and they think they are better than everyone else) Kali - Džungla/Jungle (its about politician who think they are gods + about Nazi's in parlament) amd there is a lot more of this stuff.

After USA no country is of our level and neither they can be we are so superior in hip-hop then others and if you want to compare then see the views on Hindi rap songs

India is started to have some good rappers. By 2021 we will have more rappers.

Yo yo honey Singh is amazing and dr Zeus

There are tons of cool rappers.

Cool rap

Perfect rapping. Far from nowadays MUMBLE RAP.

Lets be honest russia is the bet and I'm british not even russian saying that. Miyagi & endgame are the best and so is kapiskuy gruz. Its probs 1. Russia 2. Sweden 3. America

Miyagi and endgame, kaspiskuy gruz, Guf are the best. 2nd after the US

Petter is Swedish Tupac

Sweden very good

I don't care, It is not Swedes who rap, it is in Swedish, It is good but ye.

Damn they are good

Good lyricists, and most rappers are real and down to earth, they don't usually fake a gangsta persona or flex gold chains.

best

Portuguese rappers have amazing word play, rhyme scheme, and what they talk about meaningful stuff (at least the vast majority anyway) which, to me, are very important skills for a rapper to posses!

Portuguese rap is the best, they have a great word play and rhyme scheme!

Most of the votes here are just patriots. Toronto in particual may have become the most essential hip hop cities in the world.

Toronto underground is the best!

Toronto's underground scene is insanely underrated and is on the rise

Doesn't get much attention, though that is starting to change.
The underground hip-hop scene in Canada is unbeaten.

Because this country is so good at rapping.

Big rap. Puya. BUG Mafia, Cheloo, Paraziti...

Bug Mafia and Parazitii are best underground rapers in europe I think and the Trap (satra benz,killa fonic, keed, nane ) are still best. I'm not retarded like italians to say my country have better hiphop then americans but for sure romanian hip hop is the best in europe, still the french and german trap are cool but I prefer the romanian.

C Tangana, Rosalia, Yung Beef, Kaydy Cain, Rels B, Kidd Keo, Recycled J, Dellafuente, Bejo...

To be honest Algerian rap is way ahead of the Morrocan rap, from Lotfi to Karim to Muslim nation, these are all amazing rappers and Lotfi I believe was one of the earliest(maybe even the first) Arabic rappers, his lyrics are all amazing, no swearing and no flexing, all of his songs talk about meaningful and Important subjects, many songs talk about the suffering of others or the mischief of those who run the country.
Of course no offense to our Morrocan brethren.

They make creative and amazing rap songs

Amazing lyrics

Algeria 1st bro

Serbia is a sovereign state situated at the crossroads of Central and Southeast Europe.

Hungary has some of the best rappers in eastern europe since they don't use mumble rap as frequently. The most famous and talented are Majka, Essemm, Curtis, MisshMusic, Giajjenno. It has good lyrics generally based on how life can be very difficult and hard growing up in ghettos, their is also a rising Trap Music scene, but it is not big yet for ex. Lmen Prala is a good artist but he relies more on energy and beats than lyrics

All the Syrians listen to Syrian rap There is a lot of types The angry The Loving And The Depressed Syria has a lot of rappers and full of hip hop culture in ever university you find couple of guys rapping and Free styling

They've got a still developing but thriving rap battle scene. Views are increasing and the rappers are improving rapidly. There has been great Arabic rap coming out of Egypt for quite a while now, though. Some of the names being (Rushzilla, Sphynx, Mc Amin, Abyusif, Medhat, etc). Even the famous Egyptian actor "Ahmed Mekky" raps in Arabic and garners arguably the most views for Arabic rap in the Middle East. (Side note: Bahraini rapper Flipperachi is the only one who has surpassed Ahmed Mekky's highest viewed video in the Arabic rap scene as far as I know).

Do they even sing? - pouria_mt
