Top 10 Philadelphia Rappers of All Time
(Note: This is from 2009…Who would be in the top 10 this year??…Comments ↓)
Historically, Philadelphia rapers haven’t fared very well commercially. A few Philly artists have of course broken through nationally, recording platinum and gold CDs and earning Grammy and American Music awards. However, as a rap community, Philadelphia MCs have failed miserably throughout the years to garner mainstream appeal.
Philadelphia rappers have truthfully been their own worst enemies over the years. Some aspiring artists have found it extremely difficult to step away from the apparently addicting city life and end up ruining their own promising music careers. Some of the city’s best lyricists have actually dimmed their own bright futures because of foolish gun and drug possession charges.
Regardless of the overall disappointing commercial success of the city, Philadelphia rappers are truly some of the purist lyricists in the game. Hip-hop music has always resonated loud in the city’s streets and on the avenue corners, and Philly MCs have always creatively embraced it with open arms. So while it was a difficult task because of the wealth of musical talent in the city throughout the years, here’s my list of the Top 10 Philadelphia rappers of all-time.
10. Steady B. “MC to the death, my last breath/Will be kicking the rhyme ’til there ain’t none left.” - “Serious”
Although he’s currently serving a life sentence for his role in a botched bank robbery in which a Philadelphia police officer was tragically killed, he still makes my list. The fearless Steady B could go lyrically line-for-line with the best old-school artists of the mid and late 1980s. He released five underappreciated solo rap albums, Bring The Beat Back, What’s My Name, Let The Hustler’s Play, Going Steady, and V. He also briefly collaborated with fellow Hilltop Hustlers Cool C and Ultimate Eaze (CEB) to record Countin’ Endless Bank in 1993.
9. Eve. “Puttin’ it down, Ruff Ryders put in they work/Snatched up the illest vicious pitbull in a skirt.” -“What Y’all Want”
The First Lady of the Ruff Ryders camp should be considered one of the top female rappers of all-time. Eve’s innate ability to keep it “gangsta” as well as stay sexy secure her on my list. (more…)
