Good video !
RRRREEEEEEEEE Nah def think Joey has better raw rapping skill. Travis however is much better at creating a certain vibe around a track/project. He really has his own style and I like his vibe/beats better too. But as I said Joey is the better rapper in lyrics/rhyming. Comes down to your personal preference though if you like the more serious/agressive vibe that Joey has or Travis his more fun/loose vibe.
I love how you dont fake it.. Most people would have picked mac miller or nipsey hussle just cause they're dead and stuff ya know? Repect. You say your opinion without worrying.
King O.C.T nah bro chief keef legitimately changed the face of hip hop and if you don't realize that you might be too far gone. He literally popularized the introduction of melodies over hard beats that this entire generation is on right now. NUMEROUS rappers name chief keef as one of their biggest inspirations. He's as influential in hip hop as Wayne, Kanye, kid Cudi, and odd future

Danny Brown not a phenomenal artist? He's one of the most creative rappers of all time, released arguably the best mixtape of all time with XXX and a top 10 album of the decade with Atrocity Exhibition.
My list would look like this. 07: Lupe 09: Cudi 10: Cole 11: Kendrick 12: Hopsin 13: Logic 14: Rashad 15: Staples 16: Denzel 17: X 18: J.I.D 19: Cordae Your picks were great Isaiah very good explanation for each rapper too.
@@iftikharkazi3026 yeah the verse didnt fit the garbage can lid beat that well. Check out his original version tho. Feature on Set Precedent - Mykestro
JID and Ski aren't really equal in a technical stand point, but it's your opinion so I won't argue. JID is actually nuts when it comes to flow changes/rhyme schemes/riding the beat. And with all he somehow stays lyrical.
Sharstan Ok I fully agree with that, Cole rarely has any hidden meanings in songs he just gets to the point and elaborates off of that. But in terms of complexity I definitely would go with JID, honestly his wordplay and double entendres are fucking crazy to the point that very few rappers come close.
Am i the only one who thinks roddy ricch is the best outta this class? Like this dude can sing very well, rap very well, he has very unique flows, hes creative and hes talking about some real shit in his music

@I’m Right, You’re Wrong So don’t R/woosh me before he went all fake deep i liked his music so yeah his undergroud shit was nice but he's not that unique lol
Only song I’ve really heard from Vic is U Mad and that’s because my favorite rapper, Kanye, is the feature. But we all know Vic has one of the worst cyphers of all time on XXL. And it was cringy too
I think he got good taste in music and he did really good on the list In his own right I don't agree with it completely but he gotta a good ear for music
Don’t ever disrespect Danny like that you said he’s decent even though he’s a Top 5 New School Rapper. Edit: I respect your opinion but Vic isn’t even close to Isaiah

Gates is the best 2014 rapper bc ALL of. His songs are consistant af all of his songs are good like i can listen 2 all of them and enjoy you cant say that about other rappers
wrestleing country I remember the 2014 cypher where he was the first one out and the other rappers wasnt even close to being nearly as good as him🤣 being after Gates in a cypher is a huge L
the full un-edited video was around 14 minutes but I cut a lot out due to stuttering and shit lol. i was a little salty when i saw the final product was just under 10 minutes
He made the video probably without watching the cyphers. He’s going off of today’s stats I feel. Make another video of the best freestyle of that class
I see a lot of people getting triggered lmao. Just remember, this list isn't supposed to be objective and it's not based on their xxl performances. I based this list off of their music.

If he didn’t start off with ybn then he wouldn’t b as big as he is now that’s why he is still with them.

@@Tony-wn2lq yeah had COADM ruin my day once for how bad it is that opened my eyes even more.
All the picks were reasonable then he got to 2019
You have very good opinions
All logic fans are pissed 😤
Jk but nice vid though
Logic is ass anyway 😂
Yeah he gave logic way more credit than he should of
@@JustinLKing nah he isn't
@@JustinLKing nope
Imagine ski mask and x on a cypher together 👌🏽
Nah man. Freddie Gibbs is the best out of 2010. Better than Cole.
AqoP better for sure but Cole got that influence and status
If you are new to this channel you probably didn't know Isaiah's favorite rapper is J.Cole
Honestly his 2009 mixtapes were better than Cole's projects at the time too
Epic Gachaverse Mini Movies I know I’ve been here a minute
Brickguy00 it’s about talent and not influence, using your logic Future would be better than Danny Brown
Bruh Kevin Gates’ cypher in 2014 was the best ever no cap
Kevin gates GOAT
On god he dont know nun
Only real ones know bout the 2011-2014 cyphers bruh
Gates is the best 2014 rapper bc ALL of. His songs are consistant af all of his songs are good like i can listen 2 all of them and enjoy you cant say that about other rappers
wrestleing country I remember the 2014 cypher where he was the first one out and the other rappers wasnt even close to being nearly as good as him🤣 being after Gates in a cypher is a huge L

Allow to Dry it’s in order of best rappers through the years
Y’all sleeping on roddy
I have to wait 90 days to change my name did you just say roddy had a better verse than cordae ohhhhh no
Playboi carti is literally reincarnation of Tupac’s and better but you chose X
Leonardo Rosales Yeah Playboi is🗑🗑🗑
@@ripyah1821 Tupac didn't invent another language did he?
lil nerf gun tryna be cray.
x can be a mumble rapper and a lyrical rapper. Playboi cant be a lyrical rapper.
@@navstan3867 Carti didn't beat women tho
Great video man no messing around trying to stretch and drag the video you got right to it, great video
Honestly shocked at how accurate this list was
Oh, by the way, my birthday will be on July. Nice video.
????
Why include the birthday shit?
@@pixelz1199 , because I have a birthday party. Period. That's none of your business, man.
Freddie Gibbs for 2010🔥🔥🔥
Lol
Alberto Fernandes yeah it’s facts my guy
@@ItsValWow nah bro... It's Cole and it's not even close
Alberto Fernandes I like Cole but Freddie Gibbs is definitely better. Piñata and Bandana are better than Cole’s discography
@@K1NGAzii that's... Just.... Not true... The only rapper you can put next to Cole is Kendrick... Freddie is amazing but cole is on another level
I actually think lil uzi had the best bars and lyricism in 2016 and now out of is freshmen class😭
Christopher Redmond lil uzi 😂😭😂😂 NOOOOP
Chris Redmond definitely not. Denzel, g herbo, Dave east, even 21 better but that doesn’t mean uzi is bad he still great.
Every option you chose during the very vid I chose too 💯💯
"Its pretty close between the two"
Cordae: *The Lost Boy drops*
Cmon Isiah u deserve them 10 minutes I wouldnt be pisse dif u dragged out the video
the full un-edited video was around 14 minutes but I cut a lot out due to stuttering and shit lol. i was a little salty when i saw the final product was just under 10 minutes
Bro said Macklemore better than Hopsin💀💀💀💀 L asf
Jalen Benoit He Didn’t.
You dont think Crooked I and Saigon deserve to be mentioned with Lupe, Joell and Pap?
Loved the video, was wondering why there were so many hate comments... then u said tierra... now I gotta write one of those
He made the video probably without watching the cyphers. He’s going off of today’s stats I feel. Make another video of the best freestyle of that class
Finally someone siding with Tierra Whack lmao. I agree both are great but I feel like Tierra is on top.
She just isn't lmao
Idk man... Yeezy is 10 times more versatile than X. Same for Cudi.
aR0ttenBANANA96 Idk bc X can be lyrical ex. Riot
Melodic Ex. Sad and mumble/character ex. proudcatowner and he can sing pretty well
Jumel is Goated He’s not good
-Phins Up- yes he is
Quell Not.
-Phins Up- he is lol
X is definitely not the best of 17 smh everyone saying he better than he is because he died
Facts
Jesse Wood amine better easily
Brickguy00 Nah he was the best
Go listen to Riot, Rare pt 2, inuyasha, Let's pretend your name
I like Kyle music but X is the better rapper
Kill Me Ive heard those and I disagree its not like I haven’t heard his discography amine better on tht list
My list:
07: Lupe Fiasco
09: Kid Cudi
10: J. Cole
11: Kendrick Lamar
12: Hopsin
13: Joey Bada$$
14: Chance the Rapper
15: Vince Staples
16: Denzel Curry
17: XXXTentacion
18: J.I.D.
19: YBN Cordae
notgregor Danny Brown >>>>> Hopshit
In 2012 it’s Izzy azalea duh she killed it lmaooo
Denzel Curry isn’t easily the best, G Herbo and Dave East pretty solid too
Santiago de la Fuente agreed but in terms of projects Denzel beats them. Although they both sick af and killed the cyphers
Brickguy00 you right
Talent wise sure but neither of them have really made an album close to even Zuu lol
@@thraitor7819 or ta13oo, or imperial
Overall talent wise it’s Anderson Paak easy. But since he said rapper it’s definitely between those three.
