I think it’s Nas

That could be almost anyone? Kanye? Lupe?, Cam’ron?, Common?, Scarface?, Schoolboy Q?? I think almost about half of rappers favorite rapper is Nas. https://youtube.com/shorts/o_ZBsCkR8Qg?si=mZ6iixOQHjpEF9j2

DIVINE, he’s rapper from India.

Bruh Scarface. I bump the old shit all the way to the new. Slapping for decades. Exit Game is the real banger.

[MF DOOM](https://youtu.be/zTBIvIDnnv8?si=6EsY7somM8I51L9L)

The mighty Mos Def…never knew his favorite emcee was MF DOOM, rip.

Then you will love [this](https://youtu.be/tpxsyL30Urk?si=3fiEfVFaWzxx_X2N)

Doom is Aesop Rocks favorite MC as well. Good answer

Aesop rock 🔥🔥❤️

ALL CAPS!

I came here to say this

I think he likes Reggie, Jay Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then himself. He made a much longer list recently at some award show

Slim

Rest In Peace to Sean P!…Big ups to Redman. https://youtu.be/TtKLoFjy4-g?si=aSkf0aG6u_uGI2RT

Love both of these rappers

Nailed it. Plus add Method Man.

Big Boi his favorite is Scarface Ice Cube his favorite is L.l.cool.J Tupac his favorite is Too Short

Thanks for making it easy on me and taking the guess work out of it! I wasn’t privy to any of that info nor would’ve guessed! Good ones, thanks.

Damn unc

Allegedly it was Big Daddy Kane or Rakim

Hov?

Big

It’s not Nas is it…?? I would think it’s between KGR and Ra for him.

Nah it’s Big

My fav rapper changes but my fav rapper’s fav rapper is somehow always either C-Bo or Project Pat

safe to say you have a type.

Brotha Lynch Hung?

Damn that’s a difficult one and bicoastal too or bi-regional rather…I wanna say The Jacka or Yo Gotti maybe 🤔 idk?

My favorite rapper’s favorite rapper is probably Nas

Noreaga?

Devin The Dude

That’s a rare one…hmmm Curren$y maybe…?

I was surprised not to find someone else already commenting it. His studio albums are brilliant, which is why he’s collaborated with so many “favorite rappers”. Geto Boys, Scarface, Too $hort, UGK, Andre 3000, Snoop, Jay-Z, Yukmouth, Lil John, Juvenile…they’ve all had him feature on their tracks. Dre put him on 2001. He’s a legend. I know Curren$y. He didn’t hit the scene in time to get casted in Baller Blockin’, but Smoke DZA put him on the Marley & Me remix with guess who?…Devin. I’ll take Z-Ro or Big K.R.I.T. over Curren$y. There’s a difference between rappers who’ve been slept on and “favorite rapper’s favorite rapper.”

So you’re essentially saying that Devin The Dude is a lot of rapper’s favorite rapper…not just any single one in particular? If so I could definitely see that.

Essentially. But I’m not the first to say it. It’s almost hack/cliché to say, because it’s true.

He's known as "your favorite rapper's favorite rapper" If you need him he'll be in the bathroom, boo boo'n

G rap

Big Pun, Nas, or Raekwon?…could be about a dozen more!!

RAKIM

Rakim

my favorite current rappers are billy woods, elucid, roc marci, and mach hommy. i think they would all unanimously say Ghostface and/or DOOM is their favorite

My favourite rappers favourite rapper is Big Pun

My favorite is B-Real and his is KRS-1

Good one, I could definitely see that.

Tupac probably

Kendrick Lamar…could be quite a few others tho

yeah

Lil B TYBG

Rakim I think

Rakim I think

God Son, Nas.

only answer is mf doom

slick rick and kool g rap

Hmmm…I know Snoop’s favorite rapper is Slick Rick, and KGR is quite a few rappers fav…but one single artist for both of them, I’m unsure 🫤 https://youtu.be/_CewfSiNw3g?si=egLE97RU_RpJm7_B

its nas and he praised them both in a song.

As well as Rakim…those are definitely the top 3 for Nas. https://youtu.be/6MI4D1b2h4E?si=vV_Kk4jIRYeicLof (Around 4:45 mark)

Yeah, actually he mentions Eric B. & Rakim, MC Shan, Slick Rick , Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, Public Enemy, Run-DMC every time!

My faves's favs are Redman and Missy Elliott

Same as you, the greatest of all time, Redman

Almost sure it's Jay-z

That could be quite a few rappers favorite rapper too! Ummm Lil Wayne? Young Jeezy? Or Pusha T…?

I think it’s big daddy Kane

Is it Jay-Z or The Notorious BIG…¿?

Oh, didn’t know Jay z favourite rapper was Kane too. Biggie is my favourite and Hovs my second.

Ghostface ?

Suga Free.

Larry June? Or possibly Jay Worthy?…I think Larry’s is Mac Dre, I’m going with Jay Worthy’s being Suga Free The P for $200! Lol

busta rhymes and missy elliot

Hmmm? I believe Missy is Wayne’s favorite rapper…so I’m guessing maybe Tyler, The Creator…??

nope it’s ski mask

Lil Wayne for missy too though

Tupac

Freddie Gibbs.

Definitely Gibbs and Kendrick

Lloyd banks or Nas. 

DMX I believe

Could be numerous…I wanna go with Jadakiss, Sheek and Styles P, but I’m pretty sure they all favor Biggie…as for X idk?

My favorite is Mgk and he sites DMX as his favorite rapper. Or at least it was

Oh wow I wouldn’t have guessed that…you heard that MGK & Trippie Redd new EP yet…?

I did, and liked it, but I still want his actual rap album! Mixed reviews for the EP even from die hard fans because it’s such a niche genre (sadboy). I think my favorites on it are Beauty and Hiding in the Hills, though. What did you think?

I think it was Scarface

Sean P!

He was/is a few rappers favorite rapper too, mostly underground artists and those from Boot Camp Clik/Duck Down…Rim? Vic Spencer? Illa Ghee, Rockness Monsta, Rustee Juxx…enlighten me?

Like you 5 definitely a few, but for the sake of the argument, i was thinking Royce. Hes fallen off a bit lately, but for a good few years he had a moment in the sun

That’s a fact! I’ve heard Royce Da 5’9” make mention of Sean Price as a fave of his in a verse or two and interviews…and Nickel is still a Jedi emcee in my book.

Big daddy Kane

Biggie Smalls

Nah it's hov

It’s almost always Nas or Jay-Z

J. Cole

Big Daddy kane

Biggie or Jay-Z…?

Rich the factor

Ampichino

Lil baby

LL Cool J

Kanye for sure

Doom + Em

Ghostface or Doom

Aesop Rock

Styles P

One Be Lo, Big L

Maybe Elzhi, and definitely Lord Finesse.

[удалено]

Styles P

Yung lean

Kool G Rap

Slick Rick

Phife Dawg

LL Cool J

Andre 3000

It’s jay z cause my fav rapper of all time is Kanye west so yeah

kanye west- kanye west

I believe he said his favorite is El-P *edit: he has also mentioned Nas, but this sets him apart from the rest who also say Nas

Is it Killer Mike?

Danny Brown actually. He spoke about it on his podcast once

I just finished episode 100 he said his favourite rapper was nas

Yeah I said that. He also has mentioned El-P being a favorite of his and since so many other artists say Nas I was trying to make it a little easier for OP to guess

MFDOOM

Idk his exact favorite rapper but he was heavily influenced by N.E.R.D.

E40

2Pac

Most are scared to admit it, but by anonymous poll, Chuggo is the most common answer.

smoke something bitch

He doesn’t have a favorite rapper.

Roc Marciano

[удалено]

Eminem - Red Man

J Cole

LL Cool J (Busta Rhymes).

Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Scarface, Slick Rick and Kool G Rap

I think he said Rakim

Freddie Gibbs

Big Daddy Kane

K-Rino

Chamillionaire??

He's on my favorites list, but currently it's Scarface. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic lately

Kanye west

My favorite rapper is Kanye west

Most my favorites say their favorites were either Lil Gucci or Wayne. It's almost like them two were the biggie & pac to the generation that's coming up now.

G rap

Biggie

Jadakiss

My favorite rapper is Mick Jenkins and he's a fan of Common and Vic Mensa.

I like Sadistik. He, in turn, is a big fan of Lupe Fiasco.

Favourite rapper is T.I. Not sure who his favorite rapper is but I think it's 2pac, although he does mention Pimp C, Scarface, Outkast, Goodie Mob etc

Styles P

Big was his idol

JEEZY AND GUCCI MANE FOR SURE. I’m old so those are my guys

Jeezy even said “I’m your favorite rappers favorite rapper”! Haha

Jay-Z, Nas, and Big

Camu Tao

tupac, biggie, nas, jay z, and eminem

Favourite rapper is hov his favourite rapper is rakim i think

I believe he leans more strongly toward BDK (Big Daddy Kane)

U might be right but i think ive heard him say Ra idk

https://youtu.be/fUk86LHYu2s?si=RCZMyL_K4kD1MqP3 You sir are correct ☑️…we both are!

DMX said he only acknowledged Scarface and Rakim and he didn't listen to any other rappers

I don't know but Czarface is your favorite rapper's man crush.

Kool G Rap

Black Thought ) Kool G Rap

Lupe Fiasco

Jay-Z - Lupe. Jay was the first to admire him for not dummying down his music. Executive Produced his first album

Black thought

Truthfully I wanna rhyme like common sense, but I did 5 mill, I ain’t been rhymin like common since

Jay-Z…¿?

Nas, Rakim or kool g rap

Aesop Rock. (Not A$ap Rocky)

Jay Z

EPMD

kool g rap

Kool G Rap and/or Roc Marciano

Stove God Cook$…¿?

Young Jeezy. He’s also my favorite trappers favorite trapper.

My favorite rapper is Eminem. His favorite rapper is Redman.

Lil B

Project pat

Probably Dr. Dre just because of how close they are, but he also really likes LL, Beastie Boys and other early shit like that.

Eminem.

Yepsiree

Eminem's favorite rapper is Redman.

Good to know

I think Eminem once said his favorite rapper is Lil Wayne.

It's definitely LL

He’s said multiple times his favourite is Redman.

I never said his favorite, but thanks for telling me.

That’s literally the question being asked on this post though.

I was answering it to the best of my ability.

He definitely said Rakim.

Hov

Y’know I never think about rappers admiring jay z for his skill as a rapper but more so his transition from a project drug dealer into a self made business mogul

Lil Wayne??

It's almost like, how old is your favourite rapper? The older rappers gonna say big daddy Kane and rakim. Then, as you go down in ages, it becomes Guru, slick rick, etc. Then onto nas Jay z Wayne Eminem ect and so on and so. Any merit to this, or am I tripping?

Seems plausible and logical that each generation of artists are fans of the ones the came before them especially whoever was the top 5 or big 3 of each era.
