5. B.O.B

A good artist that has help the UK understand what hip hop should be like, and is doing it very well by making it sound fun and that the main thing the hip hop comunity wants to do is have a good time and make everyone happy. B.O.B could have the same problem as tiny tempah which is doing records with people who use voice altering technology but no where neer as extravagant as he does, no B.O.B has a bigger problem which doesn't make him a worse rapper it just makes him get less sales, this problem is publicity, he just doesn't get enough.

4. Tupac

One of the gratest artist of all time mainly for one reason, he died doing and because of what he loved the most, rap. This man was one of the top dogs in hip hop he stared with many of of the biggest and best people around before his death on stage.

3. 50 cent

A great artist who has actually fought what is basically wars for his cause. Part of g-unit and a great individual not to mention the amount bullets he has survived. 50 is also a good friend to the top 2 artists in this chart and has helped them get a lot of publicity and sales.

2. Marshal Mathers aka.(eminem) aka.(slim shady)

If you don't know who this guy is then where the hell have you been since the 90's. A great performer who's life has been a complex series of events and his music has greatly shown his emotions all the way. Fun, sincere and amazing, it's perplexing how a little boy who was raised (badly) through detroit to the 8 mile then all the way to mishagen for when he bacame a star to do such wonderful things from rap battles to world tours.

1. Dr. Dre

This is the best hip hop artist of all time. Not only did dre spent most of his life since the 80's devoting hiself to great music he has created at least one other rapper in this chart who is also one of his best freinds and if that wasn't enough he has a PHD in music! So you could say that in short the reason Dr Dre is the best hip hop artist of all time is he has done way more than anyone else to help hip hop be at it's best.
