Rappers Most Likely to Save the Rap Industry

The Top Ten
1 Sage the Gemini Sage the Gemini is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer from Fairfield, California. He is probably most well known for being featured on the Flo Rida song "GDFR."

Super lyricist right here, just like Flo Rida and Juicy J.

Saving the rap industry seems like a waste of effort.

He is the realest rapper nowadays. And it's NEVER a waste if effort to save the rap industry.

2 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 300 million records making him the bestselling hip-hop artist of all time. In addition to his solo career, he is a member of D12 and (with Royce da 5'9") half of the hip-hop duo Bad Meets Evil. Rolling Stone ranked him 83rd on its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, calling him the King of Hip Hop. Including his work with D12 and Bad Meets Evil, Eminem has had ten number-one albums on the Billboard 200 and 5 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, and 13 worldwide.

I don't get why why everybody is saying old Em was better. Personally, some of my favorite songs are post-Relapse

Eminem 19th, are you kidding me? And what the heck is sage the gemini number 1? They should switch places NOW

He's 9th you idiot. Can you read?

The blood of rap nowadays

3 Lupe Fiasco Wasalu Muhammad Jaco (born February 16, 1982), better known by his stage name Lupe Fiasco, is an American rapper, record producer, and entrepreneur. He rose to fame in 2006 following the success of his debut album, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor. He also performs as the frontman of rock band Japanese Cartoon under his real name. As an entrepreneur, Fiasco is the chief executive officer of 1st & 15th Entertainment.

His last album was less than satisfactory, however, before that, he rapped about many worldy issues such as poverty and race issues, offering solutions and advice rather than complaints. He is different from most mainstream rappers who rap about money, drugs and hoes, so he would most likely be one to put hip hop back into reality

I don't know what's worse. Gucci Mane being on this list or the fact that he's #3. Do you people even know what good rap is?

He's part of the problem

8 Locksmith Davood Ali Asgari, better known by his stage name Locksmith, is an American rapper from Richmond, California.

That could happen if he got mainstream attention but sadly in order for that to happen he'd have to dumb down his lyrics and content.

9 Trinidad James Nicholas Williams, better known by his stage name Trinidad James, is an American rapper based out of Atlanta, Georgia.

This dude can't save his own teeth, how is he going to save the rap industry?

He made a song about Taylor Swift
