Animated/Stylistic Rapper

Who you got?

I went with Ghost

Redman, with Luda and DMX close behind. I don't consider Ghost an "animated" rapper so much.

Gonna go Chip Fu here considering the word "animated" is involved. Dude always reminded me of a cartoon character. Especially on "Nervous Breakdown".

I'm gonna have to go with redman.... dude is so charismatic

IMO even though he is no fav of mine to me Busta wins. Redman and Sticky are my fav top 2 on here but Busta has them beat in this caterory.

You know, Busta probably should take.

And even though I voted Chip Fu, which I think fits nicely, I kinda wish Ol Dirty Bastard had at least 1 vote up there....wtf? I mean, he's arguably #1 in this category as well.

Mystikal eeks out Sticky and Busta in close one. Those are the only three that vary their deliveries and have lyricism in that group IMO. Redman isn't all that animated, if you put Red up there you gotta put guys like Method Man and Eminem in there too. IMO.

I don't think Ghostface belongs in this category, if that's what you're menstrating about Slang. He's an abstract rapper in the vein of DOOM, Kool Keith, etc etc etc.

no i was SMHing because you said only 3 people in this category have lyricism

Busta followed by Redman. I don't see Kieth Murry up there!

Zoltar, that's a good pick! Keith Murray is very animated in his delivery BUT like Redman and some others I don't really consider him to be strictly a stylistic rapper. IMO the EPITOME of this style is Tech N9ne. Not really an amazing lyricist, he gets by with his pyroclastic flows.

Busta takes this just for his verse on Scenario and his Arsenio performance of the same track. Damn, i miss that Busta. It should also be noted that Busta is far from favorite rapper on that list.

i dont consider Tech N9ne animated really. He spits realistic lyrics mainly about himself, i dont see the "animatedness" too much in his lyrics, but his style is definitely unique. I think a lot of people have different definitions of this category. I'm looking more at lyrics though

let me add that to me Animated and Stylistic are completely different things and imo shouldnt be grouped together
