Yeah, I know he's a singer. I just can't stand his music that much that I thought he should be included.And if I'm not mistaken , he has rapped a lil here and there.
OST and all the other people on the constant "Kanye is the worst rapper ever" thing just need to get over it. He's hardly the worst rapper ever. He is what he is, but he's not the worst rapper ever. I think he's rather entertaining actually. I'd put him up in the more listen-able category.
And Phife and Guru. No. They serve their purpose. Both fit well into the sound of their respective groups. Best rappers ever, no. Worst, no.
"bust a nut inside your eye to show you where I come from" "Bust off on your couch, now you got Siemens furniture."
humorous.
a lot of you sound like people who don't actually like rap.

Phife can rap. Dudes are doofy.
Not that it needs any mentioning, but Phife DID come strong on Low End Theory.
if you've been on some of the most beloved songs in hip hop history wouldn't that disqualify you? AZ is no lyrical god, but he's not the worst. I would think he'd get a pass for being on Life's A Bitch. Percee P's got a few that should give him the pass.

I have friends who say he outdid Q-Tip on that album. Tip can be kinda sleepy after a while.

Percee P rides the same flow on every song. Same with AZ. If Guru or Phife are bad rappers, then these dudes are absolute nightmares. I can't think of a single line from either of them.
matter of fact this is one of the illest verses of all time.
"Like sulfuric acid I'm lethal, soon as my words reach you They eat through brains of those that chose to speak to A wiser and smoother, keep up or I lose you When I maneuver words when I'm heard I confuse you, bruise you I'm high potent, devoting much time into one rhyme Every line of mine is worth quoting I'm like a college dorm, people will swarm For knowledge, applicants chill out and fill out a form I know I'm the best MC, no one can mess with me I'm the recipe, diss the P and you're history Percee P is the man to praise For days after a phrase is said I'll leave your head phased No one can surpass the P, get on before or after me That can be a catastrophe Brains I kill, when I build With my skill, in my field cause I'm ideal Foes I decompose from nose to toes I will dispose of all of those that chose to go to my shows You gotta hand it to me, you know I'm uno A sumo doing Judo, couldn't do no damage to me I stayed up later made up a rhyme straight up after I ate up yours Sprayed up yours cause get laid up Thinking I'm a make it big, you rap fans know it Prepare for stale rap, and you snap your Kodak Diss me, the P? That'll be suicide You're no frills with no skills, I'll just put you aside Rappers are skinned in battles I'm winning them from within them Befriend them, before I beat them I greet them then eat them, then send them Courtside, my lyrics coincide And dwell all through your brain cells as soon as they go inside The Giant, you got something to say? ..."
AZ's verse on Life's A Bitch should exempt him alone. Classic shit. I'm not the biggest Guru fan but putting him on a bottom 25 is crazy too.

He's a singer though you seem to be confused.
shaq, iverson, artest, etc.
HE'S NOT A RAPPER, HE'S A LYRICIST.

Exzibit neither.
I guess you can file these guys under "dudes who had homies that could rapp and who were nice enough to put them on." LOTS of those dudes out there.

Also, wasn't that Chilly Tee fruitcake the son of the Nike CEO or something? Cornball doesn't begin to describe that dude.
"You gotta hand it to me/
You know I'm uno
Even a sumo doing judo/
Couldn't do no damage to me"
"Even though you know sometimes we all gotta go/
But as long as we leavin theivin we'll be leavin with some kind of dough, so"
"Like sulfuric acid I'm lethal, soon as my words reach you
They eat through brains of those that chose to speak to
A wiser and smoother, keep up or I lose you
When I maneuver words when I'm heard I confuse you, bruise you
I'm high potent, devoting much time into one rhyme
Every line of mine is worth quoting
I'm like a college dorm, people will swarm
For knowledge, applicants chill out and fill out a form
I know I'm the best MC, no one can mess with me
I'm the recipe, diss the P and you're history
Percee P is the man to praise
For days after a phrase is said I'll leave your head phased
No one can surpass the P, get on before or after me
That can be a catastrophe
Brains I kill, when I build
With my skill, in my field cause I'm ideal
Foes I decompose from nose to toes
I will dispose of all of those that chose to go to my shows
You gotta hand it to me, you know I'm uno
A sumo doing Judo, couldn't do no damage to me
I stayed up later made up a rhyme straight up after I ate up yours
Sprayed up yours cause get laid up
Thinking I'm a make it big, you rap fans know it
Prepare for stale rap, and you snap your Kodak
Diss me, the P? That'll be suicide
You're no frills with no skills, I'll just put you aside
Rappers are skinned in battles I'm winning them from within them
Befriend them, before I beat them I greet them then eat them, then send them
Courtside, my lyrics coincide
And dwell all through your brain cells as soon as they go inside
The Giant, you got something to say? ..."

we get it: producers can't rapp.
but really, there are far, far worse rappeurs out there than those you listed that don't even make beats!
Naming all wack emcees is just too hard
we need a "Best Producers on the Mic" thread.
Matter of fact I think we did one of those once.
Dilla was given quite a bit of love as an MC as I remember.
HELL NAW TO THE HELL NAW!
