[RAP BATTLE-FINISHED! RM WINS!] RM vs. Suga vs. Bobby vs. Song Mino (Poll)

I made this so I can make a properly ranked chart based on the community's consensus or opinion for my Best Rappers of 3rd/4th Gens Thread.

Out of all New Gen KPOP rappers, these 4 Kpop rappers were narrowed down to be the top of the top of the new gens! New Gen Rapping Leaders!!

Let's decide who's the best! Voters are anonymous so speak your truth peepz!

Disclaimer: This is about K-POP, not K-Hip Hop; idol rappers ONLY!

Disclaimer 2: I realized it's a truth commonly accepted that Zico The G.O.A.T. trumps them all when it comes to best Kpop Idol Rappers of ALL TIME, but that's not what we're asking; we're asking who's the best in New Gen KPOP!

Videos of them rapping & insights about their technique & lyricism are under the spoilers!

RM

Suga

Bobby

Song Mino

You can also post more insights & critique about their technique/flow/lyricism, proofs videos, lyrics etc if you want.

BEGIN!

omggggg bobby and suga are so good. Some of the best flow, raw energy, and technique.

I feel like Bobby's skills doesn't get enough appreciation around these parts so I'll vote for him.

I like RM's and Mino's style too. Very fresh and unique. RM has a certain versatility to it that I appreciate.

YAAAAAS! Tysm for your comment

IKR I was really shocked by Bobby & Mino's talent when I checked it out for this thread!! TBH I can't decide so I'm letting you all decide

JKJK Ik who I think is best but I wanna hear y'alls 2 cents!

Quote from ninichan

there's a reason bobby won season 3 of smtm

i think mino is a close 2nd but after watching smtm there's no way i can vote for anyone else

Quote from kidsgonestray

I think I’m gonna have to go with BOBBY - he definitely won SMTM for a reason.

Clicked the top result on Youtube for "Bobby SMTM3" and BOY this performance is LIT! Now convinced Bobby is the KING LOL~

Oh shit now I really dk who to choose now- 😱

Quote from kidsgonestray

Although, I have to say, RM’s diction is extraordinary good.

I’ll also link down my favorite verse of his - it’s mostly for lyrical reasons but the delivery is also really good!

Re-listened & I love the lyrics! Agree, probably one of Namjoon's best rap deliveries too!

Quote from kidsgonestray

I feel like Jooheon is on par with people mentioned in this thread. His solo work is insanely good!

Oh really?! Please post!

(IK I can just look it up myself, but this way it's easier for everyone in the thread to see too & up engagement )

TBH I just heard his cover of Aespa's Next Level (+ a few Monsta X songs), but that alone convinced me he's among the top ranks!

Just looked up "Jooheon solo rap" on Youtube quickly & found his MAMA performance as the top result:

This (top result for "Jooheon") is really good too :

Here's a list of a general summary of the top New Gen rap rankings we compiled in my thread (I tweaked it a little to correct some things):

@kidsgonestray Added !

The lack of the ability to vote for 2 options is to prevent fandom gerrymandering Sorry guys!

Also if I change it now it will be inaccurate & unfair to the people who didn't get to vote for 2 options before :P

Also I have to rank them anyway when I list them, might as well do it in absolute order ya'know?

I've always been curious what people think about WHO EXACTLY IS THE BEST, IN WHAT ORDER...

NOW WE CAN ALL FIND OUT TOGETHER!

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR RESPONSES!

You guys are all very insightful and have great taste, I learned many new things because of this thread and hope others did too!

Here is the final poll result almost 2 weeks later:

I will go make an updated chart on my Best 3rd/4th Gen Rappers thread, so come back and check there later! ❤️

OK OK OK!

THE TIME HAS COME to announce the official results of this poll used in AKP Forums' Best K-Pop Rappers of 3rd & 4th Generation Idols (CLICK THE LINK for the full & final ranked results!)

For full of disclosure, here is the FINAL poll results at the time of the making the official ranked list:

Screen Shot 2021-11-16 at 8.54.27 AM.png

Disclaimer/Final Notes: A reminder that none of this thread takes away from any of the candidates' real rapping merits or rapping talent. Or takes away from official, legitimate recognition from both the Korean Pop or Korean Hip Hop industries, from top veterans and artists from both categories and experts in the field (especially from the latter).

The pool of the people who voted for this poll are K-Pop idol enthusiasts, and do not necessarily specialize in, have or retain knowledge or claim to be real rap experts. This poll and chart is all for fun & informational's sake, and to get the forum into a little fun competitive friendly spirit as well as create & inform people of the data & information on this part of the real (largely International) K-Pop community's thoughts on the top talents of the new generation of K-Pop.

I had a lot of fun reading, talking w/y'all and compiling the information for this rap battle!

See you in my next thread! *peace
