2674143, Funniest Rapper of all time?
Posted by Adwhizz, Wed Dec-31-69 07:00 PM
So I've got my "Best of P.E. and NWA" Playlist and it occurs to me that Eazy-E might be one of the funniest rappers of all time.

His voice was pure comedy by itself, he sounds like a cartoon character.

His lyrics were absurd and off the wall

Even the fact that he was actually a HORRIBLE rapper who had to have his verses edited heavily is funny on some odd level.


The idea of Easy showing up at a Whitehouse dinner with George Bush is cracking me up

Poll question: Funniest Rapper of all time?

Poll result (45 votes)
Redman (16 votes)Vote
Kool Keith (6 votes)Vote
Eminem (3 votes)Vote
Easy-E (0 votes)Vote
Ol'Dirty Bastard (10 votes)Vote
Other (10 votes)Vote

  

2674149, Good list. They're all close.
Posted by Brew, Thu Mar-15-12 08:01 PM
Eazy is actually at the bottom of that list, for me. He's funny but I find all the others funnier. Luda is damn funny. Redman is downright fucking hilarious.

But Eminem and ODB were my finalists and I had to go with Em. Just his combination of pure, insane talent and absolute hilarity make me laugh more than just about anyone.

"Spectacular
battle rap manufacturer
stole your mama's Acura
wrecked it, and sold it back to her"

He has made me laugh more than any rapper ever, especially (obviously) earlier in his career.
2674150, Too Short and anybody on the westcoast
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Thu Mar-15-12 08:05 PM
ain't nobody funnier than West Coast rappers period.

Too Short use to do Dolemite on his raps that alone is classic.

just the way Too Short says Airplane alone is Hall of fame for funny rapper ever IMO,
2674151, I don't know if you've heard Ghost's audiobook.
Posted by CondoM, Thu Mar-15-12 08:08 PM
That might be the funniest shit in the history of the planet.

2674152, Dirt Dog should win this easily
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Thu Mar-15-12 08:10 PM
just go back and listen to dude from 95-97. Pure comedy gold.
2674234, RE: Dirt Dog should win this easily
Posted by MikeDinosaur, Thu Mar-15-12 10:32 PM
I tried to run! She yelled out "freeze!"
Pulled down my draws, dropped to her knees
Ripped of my draws as if she had claws
Broke the rules that defined sex laws
She responded quick, with a slick, welcoming kiss and a ice cream lick
Oooh I begged, I begged, "Easy on my balls, they're fragile as eggs."

I dunno, that, the Grammy thing, renaming himself "Big Baby Jesus"... Eminem is good, but Dirt Dog is for the kids.
2674156, Suga Free. But it's polarizing, either you think he's the funniest most
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu Mar-15-12 08:14 PM
hilarious dude ever, or you hate him and think he's a controlling, mindless, sexist, fake pimping idiot.
2674189, For A LOOOOOOONG Time I Thought Suga Free Was Quik's Alter Ego,,,
Posted by Harlepolis, Thu Mar-15-12 09:07 PM
I guess because both of them have the same animated vibe.
2674202, What I actually thought was that Clue Dogg was either Quik or Suga
Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu Mar-15-12 09:26 PM
Free, because he sounds exactly like both of them at the same time on his few random appearances...he has Quik's voice moreso, but flows it like Free does. Not sure if you ever paid attention to him, but he's here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH0HSJhZ3rc Listen right at 1:00, and at 0:41 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lirm6RuwFwM
2674206, Suga Free is one of the few to make me laugh out loud
Posted by Adwhizz, Thu Mar-15-12 09:32 PM
n numerous ocassions
2674208, that nigga hilarious

now kill that bitch and let God pick her up

2674310, I actually thought this post...
Posted by Brew, Fri Mar-16-12 08:17 AM
was a spin-off of my Safe&Sound post because just yesterday there was talk about how funny Suga Free is.

But anyway - yea, Suga Free is damn hilarious. I was listening to Nobody the other day and I still die at his lines "boy don't you EVER apologize for no prostitute..." and "I don't drink alcohol, but when I do drink I prefer Dos Equis". Dood is just straight comedy.
2674372, i chose Dirt Dog but i agree with this
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Fri Mar-16-12 10:25 AM
you can't listen to a Suga Free song and not laugh. The funniest part is dude is being dead serious. His image also makes the shit funnier.
2674161, No mention of Sean P?

2674209, my thoughts
Posted by astralblak, Thu Mar-15-12 09:37 PM
-over a whole career Red and Kool Keith
-for a period: 95-97 ODB or mid 90s Suga Free
-Em was hella funny before he blew up, shit just became annoying-immature IMO
-over record: Ghost, on some random thoughts / interview(s) shit
2674242, My vote goes to Keith
Posted by Abstract_TheEclectic_Nubian, Thu Mar-15-12 10:49 PM

2674368, Quiet as kept, but Blueprint is really funny on the low
Posted by mrhood75, Fri Mar-16-12 10:23 AM
"Adventures in Counter Culture" is pretty serious/emo, but dude can be a fucking crack-up. He's hilarious on both Soul Position albums.
2674432, He was really funny on the two Soul Position albums
Posted by Adwhizz, Fri Mar-16-12 01:36 PM
but then he toned the jokes WAY down
2675284, "Keys"
Posted by Goose, Mon Mar-19-12 04:30 PM
is brilliantly funny.

i think punchline wise: Sean P has the funniest punchlines

but i think Ghostface is the funniest person ever

Posted by __Spread__, Fri Mar-16-12 01:44 PM
I don't even think emenim is funny...
Easy was funny, but he wasn't a clown like Willie D.
Devin the Dude is by far the funniest dude out right today
Biz Markie was a clown too...Slick Rick always cracked me up...still does...

I voted Kool Keith out of the choices you gave though
2674486, RE: No Willie D?? Devin the Dude?? Slick Rick???
Posted by MikeDinosaur, Fri Mar-16-12 03:01 PM
I forgot about Slick Rick, but the "For Adults Only" track off Art of Storytelling... the one that's four straight minutes of anal sex boasts is unbelievable. When my friends and I are bored we still turn to each other and go, "The butthole, the butthole..." And I don't know if he realized the impression made by his playing the part of the guy ramming the girl AND the girl getting it, but man, a lot of subtext there, a lot to unpack.

>I don't even think emenim is funny...

2674472, 2 albums MUST be mentioned in this post
Posted by fontgangsta, Fri Mar-16-12 02:38 PM
the folks responsible don't deserve the title of funniest rappers evar, but these are certainly the best 2 comedy rap albums for my money -

phonte & eccentric - the story of US
party fun action committee (blockhead & jer) - let's get serious
2674574, Yeah that Party Fun album is a forgotten gem
Posted by Adwhizz, Fri Mar-16-12 07:52 PM
I'm surprised I COMPLETELY forgot about this album

Their MC Paul Barman impression is DEAD on

Now that I think about it, how did I forget MCPB?
2674491, Biz is the most *intentionally* funniest rapper but Biggie made me
Posted by vee-lover, Fri Mar-16-12 03:12 PM
laugh harder at some of his lyrics, which at best could be sorta described as dark humor, more than any other rapper while rhyming abt some of the most criminal activities...

"Your girl fucked my man Jake up, heard in three weeks
she sniffed a whole half of cake up
Heard she suck a good dick, and can hook a steak up"

"run from the police picture that, nigga I'm too fat I fuck around and catch a asthma attack"
2674538, Redman owns this post. Honorable mention for SeanP tho.
