Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is the northwesternmost country in the Maghreb region of North Africa. It overlooks the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and has land borders with Algeria to the east, and the disputed territory of Western Sahara to the south. Morocco also claims the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta, Melilla and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, and several small Spanish-controlled islands off its coast. Moroccan rappers are doing the great things they're doing despite the absence of an industry that would support them. It is known that literally a 100% of them boosted their music career with their own means before getting signed anywhere, and those who are signed are few because of how underrated they are.
If you could just go beyond the language barrier and listen to the overall musicality of their products, you will most likely agree with me and with all the comments here that Moroccan rappers deserve more support than they already get, and I'm talking about international support. What most of them do with their own means, in other countries they do it with full support of their labels, so just imagine the extraordinary things Moroccan rappers could do if they got that same support.
There is so much versatility on the scene and a lot of the rappers have amazing flows. Moroccan rap is definitely underrated, so many artists should've taken the charts by storm already, if only it weren't for the language barrier. Hopefully more people will be like me and appreciate the talent so much they will want to learn Arabic.
Moroccan rap well well well.. pretty underrated globaly due to the dialect but the energy and vibe coming out of it is insane, and also there is a certain diversity a lot of styles, hope soon the Moroccan rap will get the attention needed because rappers here can really do something big with better opportunities
This is my country. I love everything in it and everything related to it in all fields of music or sports, and I encourage rappers because they do their best to provide the best for their followers and honor their country.

Not to be racist, but if anyone did come close, it would be like South Africa being better an making Anime than Japan. Or like China making better Reggae music than Jamaica. Real Rap is an American Game. Eminem, JAY Z, Tupac, Biggie, etc.
U.S rap have some good offers but there are some bad ones. N.W.A and Public Enemy as well as Kendrick Lamar. I'm kinda surprise that Morroco is in the first spot. I will try them if I listened to them or maybe spam voters.
This one is very obvious. I am British and even I have to admit that the USA has had the best rappers, although it is also the home to the very worst.
While nowadays USA mainstream rap is the worst in the world,underground hip-hop make USA rap the best it's there's the originality and the great lyrics are.

They also speak Italian, Greek, French, German, and English. The population is currently 2,897,400 people (254 per square mile).
Most Albanian people are Muslim but some are Christian. Albania is mostly farmland and is known to have beautiful beaches. The fact that Albanians are white rappers and and on top of their game with that very small population says a lot! And I'm Germany the most popular and successful rappers are Originally from Albania
Albania is a very authentic country, with real slums and financial troubles, which makes its rap full of emotions.
Of course #1 is USA, there's no doubt. Nowdays rap in Albania is the most popular genre of music, albanian rappers are known in many European countries. Top rappers are Noizy, Ledri Vula, Capital T, Mozzik, Mc Kresha etc.
I think albanian rappers and kosovo rappers are the best after usa

I'm not sure where the "funk" dance music originated but my first time hearing it was in Brazil.. it's a latino version of Americas "Twerk" dance music.. If Brazil continues to push the hiphop scene eventually the 2 will merge and cause an outbreak in america. We're anxiously waiting for the one artist who collaborates globally and by we, I mean most of New York City.
I live in America but I will admit many people are sleeping on latino-rap. Brazil is the hot spot.
Racionais Mc's are one of the greatest, if not the greatest, rap group of all time and Brazil's hip hop is still growing. It should be worlg famous
Emicida, BK', Amiri, Nill, Yung Buda, Sant...
Brazilian rap scene, specially the underground, is really creative.

The French rap appeared in early 90s, while it was already very popular on the other side of the Atlantic. Mostly of gangsta lifestyle inspiration, it reached its golden age from 94 to 98 with record breaking selling albums released every month. By the new millenium, this music was already very popular and listened by all social classes of French population. Disc labels were looking for artists that would open up the industry to a wider audience, and its gangsta spirit had already vanished.
I'm from the US and I've been curious about international rap since and while now, and the French rap scene is definitely the one I prefer by far!
The french rap scene is very very diversified, there's some songs for everyone. Even some kind that you'll never hear in the US.
They have a lot of talented and original rappers.
With influence from the US, North africa, and of course france itself, french rap is one of the best in the world, featuring a wide variety of different styles and types.
Whoever took a French class in Vienna knows MC Solaar from analysing different song lyrics. And that's a good thing.

It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of Southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and on the east by Mozambique and Swaziland, and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho. 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 is the best

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.

Then the Soviets kept their zone - the 'DDR', East Germany, separate with a wall through the middle of Berlin, until 1990 when the country was reunited. ...read more.
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
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.
Algeria, is a sovereign Arab & Amazigh country located in North Africa. Algerian peoples Speaks Arab and Tamzigh and some of them speaks French.Algiers is capital and most populous city in Algeria, located in the far north of the country. With an area of 2,381 741 square kilometres, Algeria is the tenth largest country in the world, the first in Africa, the Arab world and the Mediterranean, and the second in the Islamic world.
Also, Algeria has a famous food called couscous, which they eat every Friday because it is one of the symbols of Algeria, The most beautiful sunrise and sunset in the world The way to the summit of Assekrem in Tamanrasset of Algeria. Algeria has a strong rap and Algerian rap is distinguished in lyrics and beautiful flow from other countries, and we recently saw that it is witnessing a great development in terms of visuals, views, and production companies and new rappers. Among the most prominent names in our Algerian rap are didin canon 16, flenn, phobia and savage plug and trap king ... etc. Algeria is considered the first Arab country to enter rap
Rap in Algeria starts from the foot, and they have the oldest rappers in North Africa. In addition, the source of the strength of Algerian rap is strong words, social issues and criticism of the state.
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.
How is possible that Algeria rap is best in africa and arab place 16? And Moroccan rap is first place? Thi list is wrong as

In my opinion, the UK rap scene is unbeatable. With Grime and Drill artists, the UK produces the best rap songs out there. Names such as JME, Skepta, Stormzy and AJ Tracey will go down in history. While the American rap scene is slowly dying out, the UK as a bunch of upcoming artists. Names such as Central Cee, Suspect etc. will definitely be well-known in the future. Highly underrated.
No one in the world can top durrty goodz or ghetts. I'm American, and I think that ame rican rap is slowly falling apart. That's why I vote for the uk.
They got Skepta, JME, Dizzee rascal, Wiley, Kano and Stormy. Plus they the second biggest scene after America
They have Skepta. Easily the best rapper alive.
Iranian rappers are so talented, they are really so good, the text and beat, etc. And also persian rap is so meaningful and in the meaning it's in the top 2
I think Iran should be the second after US, the lyrics is so great...
In the concept and meaning Persian rap is in top 3.
Yas,hichkas,bahram, rez and zed bazi are some of the examples.
Why doesn't Iran have a flag like other countries?

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.
Should be Usa,Canada,Italy
I mean the numbers speak for itself rappers from USA are making features with italian rappers like sfera ebbasta he has a new album of features with american rappers.
Speaking as an American, Italy should be #2 (and miles ahead of third place).
How is possible that Italian rap is 13 place? And Moroccan rap is first place? Thi list is wrong as

I really like the Polish language, it goes really hard with Polish trap.
The best years for Polish rap where between 2000 - 2010. With such artists as Jimson, Szpaaq, Smarki Smark, Pan Wankz. Despite the fact that today rap in Poland is huge, its hard to find a decent rapper.

Definitely nothing beats these tunes, the texts are also really good but most people wont understand since it is Dutch of course.
Dutch rap isn't that good. Most sounds the same and they focus more on beats and flow than lyrics. However it's catchy.
They actually have like a track going in the background with actual music and meaning, also the collabs are so frequent and the best.
They have the best beats and everyone likes it. Even the people that don't live in the Netherlands.

Really deserves to be higher on the list!
It's not k pop, which confuses people in America and other countries. Korean hiphop involves a lot of lyrical, trap, and singing rappers that are arguably better than some American rappers.
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)
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

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
Greek Rap is amazing man. You have to look up Light, Slogan, and Ypo
Rappers there are as telented as Travis,Thug, Drake etc. Names like Mad Clip Snik Slogan and Light are some rappers that you should hear

From commercial rappers(like divine, badshah, raftaar, ikka, Sidhu Moosewala,King etc.) to the critically underrated ones (with the lights of Sikander Kahlon and many more) . The versatility that the scene offers is commendable and its too tough to find adjectives which perfectly describe the whole scene.
India is started to have some good rappers. By 2021 we will have more rappers.
Best lyrical hip hop in the world for sure. Very few mumble rappers.
We merely have few rappers in india and out of them I do only know Bleezy and Broda v.

Good lyricists, and most rappers are real and down to earth, they don't usually fake a gangsta persona or flex gold chains.
Portuguese rap is the best, they have a great word play and rhyme scheme!
Sweden, officially the Kingdom of Sweden, is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe.
