Which rapper is the goat and why?
Would Lil Wayne be considered Goat by some if he died today?

Tupac.

Gotta be MF Doom.

Rakim
Biggie legitimately wins almost every category I can think of. He makes it so natural sounding and his inflection is incredible. He emotes so well. His beats were the best around at the time too.
Rakim is still better technically though.

Id say Outkast because they are the best overall. Goat production, flow, lyricism, wordplay and influence.
Viper is inarguably the GOAT.

Biggie: Amazing punchlines and flow, but ultimately shallow pop rapper. Props for skill but nothing else.
Eazy-E: Props for N.W.A., but not noteworthy as a rapper.
2Pac: Hard to rate. Unique style. I'd fit him on any rap Top 10 list, but unsure what spot.
DOOM: He's good and all, but what's most amazing is how overrated he is among teenagers on /mu/.
Nas: One of the most skilled, on average less good than Biggie, but when he nails it he shoots right past.
Jay-Z: Probably most marketed rapper ever, nowhere near the best.
Kanye: Same as Jay-Z.
Wayne: What the fuck is this shit.
Viper: Candidate for GOAT, severely underrated. Only people who think he's a meme and don't give him the shot he deserves could hate.

I'd say GZA is the greatest of all time, at least in terms of lyrical ability
In the Wu, Raekwon and Method Man are also contenders (Ghostface is overrated). Method Man probably beats GZA on flow
Outside the Wu Doom and Nas would probably be pretty close. Doom is the best at structuring complex rhymes.
Jay Z sucks
Lil Wayne is okay in small bursts but he's nowhere near GOAT
I don't get west coast hip hop so I can't say anything about Tupac or Dre
Kanye is a great musician but his real talent is in his producing. He'd rank high on a producer list with RZA, Premier, Dilla, and Madlib

Punchline rap is corny af
He was the best of a terrible bunch that dominated the mid 00s

Thoughts?
Biggie.
Cool heavy, voice, decent to good lyricist, and the most important thing with him: an unbelievable flow.
Big L > Biggie any day.
