(Remember, K-Fed was a rapper, and he's alive. I'm just saying.)


Every hip-hop fan has spent countless hours debating who's the best rapper alive. Like "who was the best pound for pound fighter of all-time" for boxing fans and "Buffie the Body vs. Bria Myles" for video vixen fans, "who's the best rapper alive?" is THE question guaranteed to spark a heated debate/bar fight among hip-hop fans. But that's not why we're here today. Today we're here to answer a completely different, but perhaps equally important, question: Who's the Worst Rapper Alive?

Although it may not seem like it at first, it's really no easier of a question to answer than who's the best. And since this isn't the first time I've spent way too long thinking about something that doesn't really matter, so let's do this thing right. Here's the deal:

Process: Over the next week RefinedHype Nation will nominate their picks for worst rapper (leave yours in the comments below). From there I'll pick five finalists, then post a poll so we can all vote. The rapper who receives the most votes will be crowned the Worst Rapper Alive.

Criteria: It's essential that we're working off the same basic criteria, so pay attention:

1) The rapper has to be at least nominally famous. In other words, YC of "Racks" fame is eligible (he's got a song on the radio). That dude down the block who makes YouTube rap videos with 12 views? Not eligible. Also, they must actually be a rapper - no gimmicks/parodies etc. (For example, yes, Hulk Hogan has put out "rap" songs. No, he's not a "rapper".)

2) You must consider a rappers entire body of work. A rapper may currently be in a slump, or have produced a lot of garbage lately, but if they've got good/not terrible material in their catalog that must also be considered. (Also know as the Game corollary.)

3) And last but not least, here's the definition of "Worst". I'm using worst rapper in the most literal, traditional sense, so personality, fashion etc. aren't in play here. Simply put, you've got to listen to someone's rhymes, no beat, for an hour. Who's the last person you'd want to listen to?

There, it really is that simple. So throw out your nominations below and let's answer this question once and for all.

UPDATE: With 75 comments and counting this is officially the most discussed piece in RefinedHype history. You've got one day left to get your nominations in - at midnight on Friday, June 15 I'll officially select the 5 nominees for "Worst Rapper Alive".

UPDATE to the UPDATE: Nominations are closed. I'll post the official nominations for the 5 Worst Rappers Alive and we can all get to voting.
