The best rappers all time coming out of Houston, Texas.
Joseph Wayne McVey IV, better known by his stage names Z-Ro and The Mo City Don, is an American rapper from Houston, Texas. The Realest & Trillest... ZRO the Greatest..."King of The Ghetto! " By far the most kindest rapper who truly shows respect & admiration to his fans & supporters! Very down to Earth human being Rapper who hasn't & still doesn't let his fame nor his money change his character, appearance, heart nor mentality! Thank you for your genuineness, ZRO!

Absolutely no one comes close n can touch this man look at the longevity I'm not even from Texas n zro has been my favorite rapper since the first somg I heard by him... Pac n big are the best... Zro realest n my favorite... Everthing he says he lived... Pac n big never sold drugs his bigs real mom n close friend said in a documentar on YouTube its within the first 10 min just search for tye doc it starts off with a white guy recoring one of pacs friends who has a old cd never released by him
trae is one of the realest rapper to hit the streets on the cool. I got love for any one trying to come up in this world. knowing how it feels is just the beginning
Great going' for a cool rapper. He's got talent and will keep on stayin' cool. Yeah, no drugs. Stays straight. Knows where its at. He's real, the deal.
Trae (z-ro's cousin) has a very deep, bass-like tone to his voice. His raps are real and he reps h-town with pride.
Bernard Freeman, known by his stage name Bun B, is an American rapper and was one half of the southern rap duo UGK. Chamillionaire being higher on this list than Scarface and Bun B is a straight up travesty.
He is one of the best lyricist in history of rap do your research this list is wrong.. #Ugk4life
Are You kidin me these cats got nothing on the underground kings UGK 4 Life
Slim Thug gained mainstream attention for his contribution to the popular single from rapper Mike Jones, "Still Tippin'". He is tremendously good to me as I have listened to him almost for 10 years but he is comin back with some new music which is really getting his name more known and is getting people to like him as a rapper and entertainer but there is lack in meaning and therefore nobody will look up to him as a role model.
slim thug and boss hogg outlaws realest rappers ever best music ever done
cant forgett ABN Z RO TRAE.. RESPEKT.. FROM STOCKHOLM SWEDEN STUNNERS WE GETTING PAPPER MUCH LOVE FROM EUROPEAN GANGSTAZ YEAHHH PZ
South Park Mexican, all politics aside, I think he was/is quite the lyricist. Created beats and lyrics really hardcore and original, I.E. "Graveyard", "Mexican Radio", "Mary Go Round", "I Must Be High", etc. As well as strongly helped build up the chopped and screwed scene of music (even though not all of us like C&S music, I include it because it was a style in music).
SPM was the inspiration to many struggling from the hood and pushing passed our "Limits" he not only had a flow that hit with the most powerful grace we could hear, he also dropped the heaviest of beats.
SPM also was a four-father and leader in Latino culture and a strong presence in the hearts of many southern and Latino American's.
SPM is one of two rappers (SPM, and Tupac) to give rise to a struggling American in the ghetto, not only in poverty and low classed, but handicapped with lung disease, and deafness. He gave rise to a young Houston man named Joshua S. from Maple Leaf who is now an Opera Singer travelling and performing and not letting any judgment or struggles keep him down.
He gives rise to men and women who are down beaten in the ghetto to rise above to more than what they think they can do.
SPM is a legend and an innovator.
Eric Kaiser (born 9 September 1970), better known by his stage name K-Rino, is an American rapper and record producer from Houston, Texas. He is a pioneer of the Southern hip hop scene, and has been rapping since 1983. K-Rino's first release was the single "rocking It" with his group Real Chill in 1986,... read more The best lyricist hands down the most underrated rapper in Houston not a rapper dead or alive can hold a candle to K-Rino 30 years in the game and still getting stronger every single album gotta love K-Rino for that timeless and priceless and the most humble dude you will ever meet
To describe K,... mere words, simply fall short. We can talk about lyricism, skill, cadences, rhyme scheme, best battle rapper, on and on, but let's be straight. We are talking about possibly one of the most documented (recordings) artists from the H of all time! Google this man's life work and you be the judge...
So six artists out of the top 10 are either direct results of the movement he started, or were actually artists that were on the first gray tapes themselves. Yes, it is a travesty that he is not in the top ten. We're talking about someone who deserves a Houston landmark for crying out loud!
For one dj screw should be number one cause without him this list wouldn't be here cause more than half of these rappers wouldn't have made it if it wasnt for him he's the one that brought them into the spotlight so yea this list is WACK! Yall need to know the roots of htown rap get sum knowlege in yo system!
Brad Terrence Jordan, better known by his stage name Scarface, is an American rapper, music producer, and author. Not even much of a question. Face is by far the best Houston rapper he is the best lyricist and he influenced all these guys and to have Chammillionaire and spm ahead of him is a disgrace. Now Z-Ro is good but please Face owns him to.
All real hip-hop fans vote for Scarface.
King of the South. You got lame like t. I and all them arguing about the king of the south crap while scarface is on the thrown. Scarface owns spm and cham I think Z-Ro is the prince of the south I'll say that but scarface is the king.
Hakeem Seriki, is an American rapper, entrepreneur, and investor from Houston, Texas, better known by his stage name Chamillionaire. Cham manages to keep making high quality music. Even though he has been having a long delay on his Poison album, he's still released several albums, such as Elevate and Reignfall. He releases songs on his YouTube page and on chamillionaire.com and interacts with fans. I have to say, he is certainly the coolest rapper, particularly towards the quality of his music and the dedication to his fans.
King Koopa is a beast on the Mic if you don't understand how good he truly is go listen to get ya mind correct and chamillionaire's greatest hits the of run c one. Even if the tip of my dick was ashy you misses would still harass me about doing the nasty mouth glassy looking like a swallow a mirror gotta brush my teeth with Windex to see my I ice no clearer- koopa
There is no doubt in my mind that if Pat was still alive, he'd be the best rapper in Houston and even rap itself. He was dropping cold rhymes in the mid 90s. He was looked up to by many rappers in Houston.R.I. P Patrick Hawkins
Fat Pat should move definitely be in the top ten not Chamillionaire. Fat Pat straight up gave us Lil Keke and Mike D. Without Pat and Screw nobody would know them
Now this is an h-town vet when it comes to lyrics one of the coldest mouth pieces from up out the south, let alone one of the best freestylers I know. RIP PAT!
The Newcomers
If you're the sort of hip-hop junkie who gets most of your news from Instagram, it probably comes as no surprise to you that Wiz Khalifa's 'gram-handle is @mistercap. Lord knows the "We Dem Boyz" rapper has certainly gotten a lot of use out of the name, having used it to photo-journal endless Love & Hip-Hop-style drama with his on-again, off-again ex-wife, Amber Rose, who just so happens to be the Internet's favorite bald-headed beauty/booty, but if you're over the age of 25 and find all of that a tad confusing, you're not alone. But no one was more surprised to discover the online exploits of @mistercap than Mr. CAP, the local South Park Coalition rapper who has been using that name since Wiz was a zygote.
Curtis Donnell Davis, better known by his stage name Big Mello, was an American rapper from Houston, Texas. Disrespectful to have him this low. Ain't no way Paul Wall, Chamilionaire, Slim Thug, Mike Jones and Kirko Bangz are better than Mello!
I often wonder why I can't hear this talented young man on the radio. It would be nice to hear something new and someone who has real issues to discuss. Not this foolishness they have now where everything is about money and chicks. Not only is he a rapper, but he can sing too. As I am posting this, I am a little perturbed that Levi Cev isn't in the Top10, but I know that he will get there. <3 His #1ne Fan NEVER A Groupie!
Levi Cev is a gifted artist and performer. His diversified talent offers something for every age. Not to mention his lyrics is something one can relate to as they are about real life issues. He holds nothing back, keeps it real on and off the stage 100% and Never gives up. Can't wait to see him in the top 10 soon.
Not sure I would put flip at this rank... Candy freestyles and when the beef came out he's gangsta. Like his music to an extent, but there is way more talent on H Towns Underground scene in my opinion.
Lil flip done went platinum twice kids. only rapper out the H to do it. He came up with the og dj screw enough said. oh ya n the boy can freestyle for ever
Flip still holding it down, very underrated these days. Ahead of my time should be considered a classic
I will agree. He needs to be in the #2 spot. Original SUC member he is good wit his word play. He is my second favorite rapper behind Ro.
ke ke supposed to be up there at least top five or even top three yal trippn h town texas
YEA I GOTTA AGREE THE DON SHOULD BE NUMBER 2 AND THATS REAL
"C-Note, quote unquote, that's what me and Fat Pat wrote! " C-Note's been doing it for a minute!
Michael Barnett, better known by his stage name Big Mike, is an American rapper from Houston, Texas. He was originally a member of the rap duo Convicts with Houston-based rapper Mr. 3-2. This album would be the first of many releases Mike would put out on Rap-A-Lot Records. Doe from the N.O. the nation kno him outta South Park. A tru smooth lyricsist. That's the peter man.
Very new upcoming rapper but I feel he is going to be up there with z-ro his freestyles are the realest
Most underrated rapper in Houston! Big Love has been spitting flames since Representin' Real 1996 and is still on point! He was spitting lyrics when everyone else was screwed up, then he showed that was no problem when he was on Swisha House Northside 9!
Swap this dudes spot with Mike Jones. First to open doors for Studewood on the north and no way would have let somebody punch him the face. They don't call the OG Houston's Best Officialy for nothing!
Houston's Best Officially! Realer than every rapper in the top ten. Early H-town Rap Pioneer, President of the Nawfside!
One of the best performers on stage! House Of Blue's Chingo Bling Show was sick mayn. House of Blues was sold out! I even started followin him on twitter @ChingoBling Definitely on
Kirk Jerel Randle (born August 20, 1989), better known by his stage name Kirko Bangz, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer signed to Atlantic Records. He is best known for his single, "Drank In My Cup" which was released in 2011 and peaked at number 28 on the US Billboard Hot... read more Kirko Bangz is the best rapper coming from Houston Texas, he puts it all out there, here talking the truth, he's also the finnest rapper alive and I think he should come do more shows up in his home town " Houston "!
I really am like in love with his music and he is just awesome and knows what he is talking about, not like all the other rappers that just be cursing out their and not knowing what their saying!
Kirko is the next generation of tx rap he has made a original sound of his own but is easy to see where his roots came from,
Man Devin has that laid back, chilled out style that most would kill to have... And his lyrics?!?! Lets just say that when you figure it out holla at me, I'll be in the bathroom - Boo Boo'n. Lmao
AINT NO WAY SLIM THUG,MIKE JONES,PAUL WALL CLOSE TO DEVIN THE LEGEND,MANN YALL BOYS TRIPPIN
One of the realist hook men that I know know on any track! Beast mode he should be in the top ten
I'm from South Houston and I have met lil flip I have been to Kappa beach party and I have smoked with Mike Jones. Who Mike Jones! He's a living legend! By the way I'm a white girl.
There's just something about Mike Jones. When he broke in the mainstream, he seemed to be everywhere! We are still waiting for his revival...
I'm moving to Houston just because the environment and Mike Jones and Paul wall
He had some of the best rhymes, and typically kept it clean so you could feel alright jammin it on the fm with your mom or dad. And to state the obvious, he stood his ground as a white dude in a predominantly black field and excelled quite well. He would be in my top 5 with trae, zero, and not sure of my other 2.
Should be listed in the top 5! Always representing Texas to the fullest. Got much love for Paul Wall. Love love love his music. You know with Paul wall, Any track he's on, it's going to be a hit!
Love his music and really is a great person, Just real and down to earth. People's Champ
Lucky Luciano is the best rapper I jam to him in my ride everyday all day lucky the God
Coldest on the mic, hottest freestyler this Mexican wont be touched
Lucky Luciano should be on top because he has some crazy throwed flows. No matter what I'm bumping Lucky and Spm
