Top 10 Greatest Deceased Rappers

Yes Tupac was someone who rapped about drugs and all that gangsta stuff, but he also rapped about change and how bad this world is. He is inspirational, he wasn't the most talented rapper but his lyrics and messages on some of his songs makes him an inspiration and I just wish that Pac and Biggie were still here. There was no need for the rivalry from 2 of the greatest rappers of all time whose lives and careers were cut short. RIP
Tupac did rap about drugs and alcohol and all of that but he did rap about how bad this world is. The fact that he died of a heart attack is truly tragic. I wish he was still alive to share his legacy.

Big change rap point blank he made the best raps I have ever heard and change rap for the east coast and made it really over here on the east coast and all the rappers could not hang with him 2albums and he made history as one of the best rappers ever to live on earth
A very good rapper whose songs made some sense and entertained people with his lyrical ways and was a very big inspiration because he changed his life around, he realised he didn't need to be a hustler, he needed to be a good person.
RIP BIGGIE

Big L's Freestyles just smooth. He know what to do on the mic. Amazing flow, amazing style, amazing lyrics. He is top 2 or even top 1 rapper. Just take a listen to his music. Take a deeper look in it and you'll realize that he is way too underrated. Put your Ls up.
This one is another of those that will never be forgotten they the ones that used to create real hip hop. The real question what happened to hip hop
Big L, Better than Eazy E I would even go to say he is better than Tupac. Equal to Biggie though., Give him a listen.

Eazy E didn't even die from aids he was murdered with injection, how could someone die from aids a months after getting the disease, why then didn't his pregnant wife encountered the diseases with the baby now... The best the west have ever seen no disrespecting pac..
Eazy E paved way for these gangster rappers as he is the Godfather of gangster rap, in his N.W.A. days he was the front man and everybody all over him before pac and biggie became the best but since he died from a complication of AIDS number 1 is talking about him and his legacy as a legend... Eazy was the best the west ever say...R.I.P.E..

With songs like twinz, still not a player, 100% and (my favorite) I'm not a player (i'm Not still) such a great flow. Its sad. If he and L never died they would have been the best rappers ever
Thank god somebody has some knowledge outside form the most known artists
Rest in Peace Pun your legacy shall live on

I cried because he died he was my favorite rapper he inspired me so much the people that killed him they killed him because he had 75,000 dollars in his bag but why can't they work for their money and don't kill just don't kill people important to others cause they are the best and favorites and I loved his songs
X was the most inspirational rappers and I like the way u were so filled with energy and at the same time so emotional. When I heard u died first I did not believe till I checked and as soon as I saw I cried my eyes out. And just want to say your songs will live forever

Eminem and Proof are almost the only rappers who always are making fun together, the best songs from Eminem where with Proof written, cause then the lyrics when crazy that's what they always were together, just freaking crazy, I love that..
R.I.P. Doody
PS. It isn't bulls*** whey Eminem went 4 years out.. Proof was the best friend you can imagine he said.. he's right..
He actually had sicker rhymes than Pac (no disrespect) and if you are looking at his delivery and all of that he was extremely dope & underrated af. Best hypeman in rap too. He doesn't get the love he should get because he was in ems shadow. Rip to him, biggie, Pac, big l big pun odb pimp c eazy e dolla bugz NATE DOGG (king of the chorus) and anyone else who died too soon

Ason unique. Best Wu-Tang rapper whether dead or alive. Some of his songs were deeper than Tupac, his flow was sometimes more fluent than Biggie, and his style was always amazing. Personally I think his songs had the best beats of all dead rappers. Just listen to "Dirty the Moocher. "
One of The Wu tang Clan founders he was a good rapper in the group but in 2004 he died of a drug overdose in his LABEL in New York city
Different than anyone else in a good way

Nate Dogg was amazing, one of the best vocals of all time in the rap game. Cousin of Snoop, should be #4
Nate Dogg was the king of the chorus and he always had a sung delivery better than bone thugs and harmony (no disrespect) He was one of the best.R.I.P. Nate D. O double G.
Good songs but its sad he was found coughing his chest in his car in his garage,dead.Many say he got shot others say carbon monoxide poisoning.I think he could've had an heart attack or some failure in his organs/lungs.
His death shocked the entire server of twitter and everyone was mourning. He didn't even get to turn 20 R.I.P Speaker Knockerz 1994-2014 REST EASY!
He is the best dead rapper and in the top 5 rappers of all time. Its sad he had to die at only 19 by unknown causes.
The Newcomers

He was an inspiration for Philadelphia. The best of the state. He was known for Selfish. He also collaborated with many artists like Ed Sheeran. He was shot in an armed robbery at a restaurant. He will be missed & remembered for his impact on music. R.I.P. too soon (1991-2022).


Guru is probably top 25 who EVER did it. He's definitely top 5 ten dead.
This guy is a top 10 rapper who LIVED, he should easily be top 3 here
Guru needs to be at least top 5 ahead of proof for sure

I use to love tlc and I still do today! Lisa " left eye " was an amazing rapper. She did'nt rap about drugs, private parts, or any of the other things other female artist rap about today. REST IN PEACE LISA " LEFT EYE " LOPES, NEVER FORGOTTEN ALWAYS REMEMBERED IN OUR HEARTS. LEFT EYE LEGACY, TLC4EVA.
She should at least be in the top 5. 8 months after Aaliyah died in a plane crash, she followed in a car accident. She was great friends with Tupac and they both died horribly.
Um hello... Waterfalls, unpretty, what about your friends, she didn't only rap she sang an wrote all the songs I just mentioned. she should've been on this list a long time ago.

He was positive about his messages on every album. He didn't have to curse. He threw some of the slamming videos and concerts. RIP Heavy D and Trouble T-Roy.

Extremely underrated king of hyphy second best nor cal rapper lynch the best 2PAC you up there to knowing that you from Marin county
Mac Dre is the first rapper to ever to record a whole album over the phone.
Everyone respects Dre for the uniqueness and ability to fit any style
UGK member comes from my city HOUSTON he gained major recognition with Bun B in UGK
This guy here from h-TOWN my city he a legend wish he was still alive but his music never dies


The fact that prodigy is this far down is a disgrace to hip hop
Best member of mobb deep. He died in 2016. RIP

Whoever is doing this voting don't know your hip hop history
Number 1 on my list. Hip Hop legend!


He was wise beyond his years. A mislead leader. His early death will saddened all who listin. The youth missed out on a true poetic legend.

I can't believe he's all the way down here.


I don't think he is a rapper, more like an artist cause his main sound is rock/emo and not rap but he definitely is miles away of so many people. The mix between rock/emo/trap is absolutely legendary and he was so versatile, from metal to trap and very poppy
I wouldn't consider him a rapper, but musically he was miles ahead of most people on this list.
