The 50 greatest white rappers of all time

Throughout 27 years of being an avid hip hop fan, I decided to compile a list of the 50 baddest white boys for every mic. I know white rappers get a bad rap sometimes! This article and the list are my personal opinion, but I think it’s a good place on the list. This is in no particular order and I couldn’t put EVERYONE here so I used my best judgment from mainstream to underground music.

Again, this HAS NO PARTICULAR ORDER! Just a list of 50.

1 Eminem: Hate him or love him, he’s lyrically crazy and he’s one of the greatest rappers of all time.

2 Slug – again … hate him or love him, he’s lyrically crazy and he’s one of the greatest white MCs of all time.

3 EL-P – tremendous MC. End of story … DO NOT wait! Maybe the top 3 white MCs of all time!

4 Cage: He started out as a great MC, now he’s even better than that.

5 Copywrite: does anyone need a joke? The Brilliant Sound of Ohio!

6 MC Chris – nerd? Yes! Skills? Yes, and it is also quite entertaining.

7 Necro -The devil with a microphone! Necro took Horrorcore to another level!
