Though it took a while for the music to catch on with them, some of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-rappers-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the best rappers</a> in hip hop history are white. While this may be hard to fathom or even accept for some, white rappers have not only been some of the most unappreciated or scoffed at in the game, but they frequently fly under the radar. These white rappers are getting the due they deserve, since after all, they are considered some of the best in history.In the late 1980s, the&nbsp;Beastie Boys (Ad-Rock, MCA, and Mike D) were among the first white rappers to be accepted by the larger hip hop community. In addition to the groundbreaking Beastie Boys, in the late '90s, after years of mainstream white hip hop diluted the pool, Eminem became one of the most popular and respected MCs of his time. With provocative and controversial lyrics, along with association with legendary producer Dr. Dre, Slim Shady catapulted to the top of both the album charts and became at one point one of the best rappers in the game.Find your favorite white rappers in the list below and submit your votes to help influence the rankings for future readers.

Lists about Judasim and Jewish people, followers of the ancient monotheistic religion that uses the Torah as its foundational text.

The Chosen People

Anti-semitic behavior has no place in the music industry, especially the rap world. In light of the recent news and ongoing discrimination towards the Jewish community, we've ranked the greatest Jewish <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-rappers-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">rappers of all time</a> (aka rappers whose music you should be streaming instead of Kanye West's). Although the hip-hop industry is mostly dominated by Christian-raised black artists, Jewish rappers still hold a significant place among the ranks of hip-hop's GOATs, with Grammy Award-winning megastars Drake and Doja Cat paving the way for future generations of Jewish rap artists. From Gen Z West Coast emo rapper 24KGoldn to the late Mac Miller (rest in peace), this compilation of Jewish hip-hop artists contains all of your favorite rappers among the Jewish race, both living and deceased. Famous comedians Andy Samberg and Lil Dicky never cease to create space for Jews in Hollywood through their playful lyricism and IDGAF attitudes; and Orthodox Jewish rapper Nissim Black remains a force to be reckoned with among fellow hip-hop musicians, unapologetically expressing his faith across profound records.&nbsp;Which of these rappers do you believe are the greatest Jewish hip-hop artists of all time? Vote below for the best Jewish rappers who deserve placement at the top of your playlists, and feel free to check out our other <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-famous-jewish-singers-and-songwriters/famous-jews">Jewish musicians</a> lists across all genres if you'd like to discover more incredible music by the industry's most-talented Jewish artists.
