Top 10 Rappers with the Sickest Flow

1. 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 220 million records, making him the best-selling hip-hop artist of all time. In addition to his solo career, he was a member of D12 and (with... read more

   He's really creative with his flow, like he rapped over a beat for like an hour just using different flows and when he was done picked the one he liked best. I can respect tech 9 but he's definitely not as good as Eminem. Biggie should be 2, and Pac 3

   In my opinion, he is the god of rap, stupendous lyrical flow, amazing storyteller, one of few who went diamond, and very fast. Greatest rapper I've ever heard. Long live he god of rap

   eminem is the best raper alive besides jay z people who say lil wanye is the best do not understand rap eminem will kill wayne em is the best and he is back to claim his crown

2. TECH N9NE

   

   Aaron Dontez Yates (born November 8, 1971), known as Tech N9ne, is an American rapper and co-founder of Strange Music, which he started in 1999 with Travis O'Guin. He's sold over two million albums independently and is known for his rapid-fire chopper rap style and extensive touring. His music has been... read more

   You can pick any song off of his 20 studio albums to showcase his versatile flows.

   You can honestly pick any verse off of any song to showcase his lyrical talent.

   The control of his breath, pronunciation, and track word-play is on another level.

   His dedication is untouchable. Rapping for about 30 years, signed to labels, left labels, stayed in his hometown Kansas City to help build their rap scene (most go to LA or NY to BE put on, he got on in his city and stayed), he even refuses to get his teeth fixed in fear that he will not be able to enunciate properly when he is trying different flows.

   ALUCARD EVERLASTING

   Don't get me wrong I love Eminem, but Tech should really be number one he has the sickest flow of all time in my opinion. Everyone who looks at this list and see's that he is number two should look up some of his music and give him the true fan base he deserves. He is the most under appreciated rapper of all time.

3. The Notorious B.I.G.

   

   Christopher George Latore Wallace, born May 21, 1972, better known by his stage name The Notorious B.I.G. (sometimes Biggie Smalls or simply Biggie), was an American rapper from Brooklyn, New York. On March 9, 1997, he was murdered in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, California, at the age of only... read more

   Without Question Biggie's flow, lyricism, word play, punch lines, puns...he was the total package. When you saw his name on a track...you knew without question he was going to kill it. Name one rapper who's lyrics have been copied by other rappers more than biggies or how many rappers have copied Biggie's Notorious Thugs flow. Why do you think Jay-Z wasn't able to shine until Biggie and Pac passed.

   We need more talented rappers that also have a story to tell and not just about nightclubs. My top 5 are Biggie

   2pac, Eminem (old school), 50 cent, dr dre.(6 jay-z 7 lupe fiasco 8 nas 9 jadakiss 10 kendrick Lamar)

4. Big Pun

   

   Christopher Lee Rios, better known by his stage name Big Pun, was an American rapper. Emerging from the underground hip hop scene in the Bronx in the early 1990s, he became the first Latino solo rapper to have an album certified platinum, with his 1998 debut Capital Punishment.... read more

   Big pun should be top 5. The only reason he isn't is cause no one on this list are voting for real flow, just who can rap the fastest. Seriously, if you haven't the album capital punishment go and listen to it right now, I promise you wont be dissapointed. Also as a side note to anyone who thinks 2Pac had a great flow needs to look at his rhyme schemes. I respect him as a legend but he didn't have a very impressive flow.

   Basically his entire album Capital Punishment displays his great flow and lyrics. Such a shame he died he was a great rapper.

5. TWISTA

   

   Carl Terrell Mitchell, born on November 27, 1973, is better known by his stage name Twista. He was formerly known as Tung Twista and is an American rapper.

   Twista is best known for his chopper style of rapping and for being recognized by Guinness World Records in 1992 as the world's fastest rapper... read more

   Lyrics flow amazingly and tied with busta in my opinion in speed

6. Big L

   

   Lamont Coleman (May 30, 1974 - February 15, 1999), best known by his stage name Big L, was an American hip hop recording artist born and raised in Harlem, New York City. Coleman began his rap career with the hip hop trio Three the Hard Way. His first notable appearance came on Lord Finesse's "Yes You... read more

   Legendary flow, some lines he could spit were insane and always matched the beat perfectly. Such a shame he died.

   The greatest of all time, only the fact that he realeased 2 albums holds him back, biggies flow second, then tech n9ne, and lastly snoop dogg

   His multi-syllabic rhymes fit perfectly with his smooth voice, making a perfect flow.

7. Pharoahe Monch

   Pharoahe is a God King on the mic.

   He slithers in and out of bars with an unmatched delivery. He teamed up with Prince Po to release flows that were unheard of before and by 1994 as Organized Konfusion.

   Every solo album in his catalogue has blended dizzying flows with meaningful lyrics.

   How are drake Kendrick lamar jay-z and all of them above this guy?

   One of the most underrated hip hop artists in the game

8. Tupac

   

   Tupac Amaru Shakur, also known as 2Pac, was an American rapper and actor born on June 16, 1971, in East Harlem, New York. Tupac sold over 75 million records worldwide and has been referred to in multiple major publications such as Rolling Stone as one of the greatest music artists of all time. 2Pac was... read more

   His flow is so good it's like it has its own rhythm, and he can play with it with so much ease it's mind-blowing. You can feel his flow is natural and that's what makes him the rapper with the sickest flow. Should be number 1

   One of the best rappers in lyrical and storytelling, R.I. P Tupac

9. Lil Wyte

   

   Patrick Lanshaw, known professionally as Lil Wyte, is an American rapper from Memphis, Tennessee. He first gained attention in the early 2000s as part of the Hypnotize Minds collective. Lil Wyte blends rapid-fire lyrics with Southern hip-hop beats and has released several studio albums. Over the years... read more

10. Hopsin

    

    Marcus Jamal Hopson, better known by his stage name Hopsin, is an American rapper, record producer, director, and actor from Los Angeles, California. Hopsin was born on July 18, 1985. His first album was titled Emurge, but he is best known for his 2010 album Raw, which helped establish his reputation... read more

    Hopsin displays great flow in songs like Ill Mind of Hopsin 5, where he talks about modern problems. The flow in almost every song he is in is so seemless but clear. If you voted for Tech N9ne, I'd recommend you to listen to "Am I A Psycho? " with Tech N9ne featuring Hopsin and B.o.B. If you voted for Eminem, just know Hopsin is inspired by him.

    ... He's just insane like literally his flow and words are crazy

    Please do yourself a favor and listen to all of the "Started From the Bottom / Apocalyptic Infinity" double video in all its 27 minutes glory. There are so many different flows, structures, tempos, rhyme schemes,... the part where he raps without the costume is also him. That was the moment when he revealed his true identity.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=yMfgjVlGbUE

    And if this is too long for you - after all, you may not understand the language - here is the craziest double time rap you'll ever hear (note that the German language has a harder and clearer pronounciation than English):

He is known for his intricate rhyming style and energetic performances. Over his career, he has received multiple Grammy nominations and released... read more

    Really first you're gonna tell me 50 is at 40 and now Busta is at 51 why are all the rappers with the best flow ever so low on this list Busta would blow all these guys out of the water at lest in the top 10

    Whoa okay... Busta rhymes is number 49 on this list? Take a small amount of time to listen to his verse on worldwide choppers and his verse in look at me now this guy at the least deserves top 15

    Why's my main man Busta so low on the list? This lad needs to be near the top 10!

16. Z-Ro

    

    Joseph Wayne McVey IV is better known by his stage names Z-Ro and The Mo City Don. He is an American rapper from Houston, Texas. Z-Ro is recognized for his lyrical delivery, often addressing themes such as hardship and resilience. Over the years, he has released numerous solo albums and collaborated... read more

He gained fame with his 2003 debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin', which was a commercial success and included hit singles like In da Club. In addition to music, he has built a diverse... read more

    No no no only 40?!?! are you kidding me this man is one of the best rappers in the game with one of the sickest flows he's no doubt the top 5 for lyrics and the top 10 for flow

18. Logic

    

    Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, better known as Logic, is one of the most influential artists in modern rap. He was born on January 22, 1990, in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and first gained major recognition after being featured in the 2013 XXL Freshman Class. Among that year's class, he has become one of the... read more

    He deserves to be high on the list. Unique album concepts. Great off the top. Fast flow, packed with punchlines and great rhyme scheme. Also a great person which shines through the positive message in his music

    The young Sinatra has full potential and talent. Will surprise many

    He deserves to be high on the list. Arguably the best flow right now.

19. Andre 3000

    

    André Lauren Benjamin, known by his stage name André 3000, is an American rapper, singer, and actor from Atlanta, Georgia. He is best known as one half of the Grammy Award-winning hip hop duo OutKast alongside Antwan Big Boi Patton. Despite never releasing a traditional solo rap album, André 3000 has... read more

    People tend to confuse amazing flows with rapping fast. Andre has a unique flow and the best delivery in the game. He's up there with pac and biggie.

    Rapping fast does not mean a rapper has good flow. Andre switches up his flow all the time and it still sounds better than anyone else

    I really don't know how people can't seem to realize that this guy is arguably the best rapper ever lived

20. KRAYZIE BONE

    

    Anthony Henderson, better known as Krayzie Bone, is an American rapper, producer, and entrepreneur. He is a member of the rap group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. The group won a Grammy Award in 1997 for their hit single Tha Crossroads.

    Krayzie bone is an absolute monster. If his catalogue goes on and on. He actually puts meaning into his music and I have never heard an artist ride a beat like he can.

    Just listen to any song by krayzie bone and compare it to the best song of any of the other top 10 rappers mentioned here and his flow would still murda em all.

    Seriously, nobody in this world knows ANYTHING about flow if Krayzie is number 9. He has the best flow in the history of hip hop!

21. MF DOOM

    

    Daniel Dumile (July 13, 1971 - October 31, 2020), known professionally as MF DOOM, was a British-American hip hop artist known for his intricate lyrics and iconic metal mask. He spent most of his life in the United States. His death occurred on October 31, 2020, but it was not publicly announced until... read more

    He just has so many rhymes ( and multi-syllabic rhymes) that he automatically flows, it's nit just the rhymes but the overall vibes that you get from listening to him that you feel you've been teleported.

    MF DOOM has a unique flow, persona, and message; tragic story; and in my opinion he has the illest wordplay of any MC. He would spin any of the other MCs on this list in a head to head battle.

    Particularly as Viktor Vaughn, his lyrics and skills are epic

22. DMX

    

    Earl Simmons, known professionally as DMX and Dark Man X, was an American rapper and actor. He was born on December 18, 1970, and passed away on April 9, 2021, after suffering a heart attack.

    Clifford Smith, better known by his stage name Method Man, is an American rapper, producer, and actor. He is best known as a member of the East Coast hip hop collective Wu-Tang Clan. He is also one half of the duo Method Man and Redman, who have released several collaborative albums.

    Bull crap, Method Man practically invented the modern flow, he was an innovator, the first to care about how his raps sounded instead of what they were about. Meth rages hard, all bangers gave A$AP Ferg that flow mad respect to both homies.

    Unique voice and mad flow that seems effortless. Almost any Wu-tang song you listen to is gonna have flow and be super smooth too.

    Meth smooth, harmonious and effortless flow defined the 90's

24. AZ

He first achieved fame in 1992 on Dr. Dre's debut solo single Deep Cover and the album The Chronic. Snoop has since sold over... read more

    Oh come on really, he should be top 5 at least, Snoop's voice is like a rhythm to whatever beat he's free styling to. Yes Doggy Style is amazing but it wasn't his only great album, Seriously listen to cool aid, blue carpet treatment, no limit top dogg and plenty more to hear what I'm talking about, put him further up please

    Doggystyle was amazing and he had a great flow but after some good albums he started turning into a piece of crap

27. Eazy-E
