King of Rap / Hip-Hop?
I wonder who is the legit King in this field.
Some names to take into account: Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West...
Opinions?

Right now?
Nas. His newest album proved that.

Kanye has been consistently ********. He can be right now's King of Rap.
But overall it would be Tupac or Nas. Biggie can get it too.

Biggie was from 1993 - 1997.
Jay-Z snatched his spot after his death, and has been King of Rap ever since.

It irks me when people say Biggie.
Biggie had ONE album. Nas/ Jay have at least 10.
Anyway. Nas and Jay are pretty much interchangable. But since Jay hasnt had a good album since American Gangster, so Ima go with Nas.

Biggie had two. And yet he's had more influence with those two than Nas / Jay had with 10.

Biggie has 4 but only 1 was released before his death.
