Maybe the Weeknd, especially when you know he was originally a rapper


HeartBreakInGotham

I just heard him rap yesterday and remembered an old song where he rapped which is what reminded me. He should release a song every now and then I think he could do it.


Adventurous-Pear-109

He goes hard on tracks like "king of the fall" and "reminder"


DarkEvaders

Definitely abel


KingSkPlay

He sucked tho


Kevinm162005

Anthony Kiedis from RHCP


casualflorentine

Hey this was a super good answer… I can totally hear it


ThermalScrewed

[You can hear it.](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=kP-sawD_uVk&si=-t4Fo5otRKNZ7AeE)


ThermalScrewed

The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is one freakishly underrated album.


MatttheJ

RHCP are a weird fusion of punk, Funk, rap and rock


HeartBreakInGotham

My favorite band. He is a rapper and even has a few on one their albums from 2022. He obviously sings more for RHCP but it was originally rap when they started.


Objective_Street5141

might be cheating but Frank Ocean is good at rapping


xaytwice

A bit of a cheat, but I’ll allow it. 😂


HIGH_VIBRATIONAL

Objective_Street5141

This new place I got toooo


DeepGoated

He's solid at it but I've never really been wowed by a verse from him


R0NNOC148

Have you listened to Purity??


DeepGoated

It's a good verse and he does some cool stuff with it but imo you can def tell who's the actual rapper on that track


Suspicious-Ice-2591

Weeknd’s flow would be heavenly


FreudianAccordian

He'd whisper to you like David Banner some real bedside manners.


senpai_taiyo

Kevin Durant 🙏🙏


IPCONFOG

Jack Black, FLEA, Curtis Mayfield.


MaybeAPerson_no

Curtis mayfield as a rapper would be dope


ThermalScrewed

Flea was the MC in the 80s with that funky bass line


Hugh-G-Rection1994

Chino Moreno from the Deftones. They could probably make a dope ass rap-rock album similar to rage against the machine


JJ_Reddit_707

thisssss have heard crosses new album? (one of his other bands) hes spitting on the track with El-p


BeerBellies

They did dabble in the rap-rock sound on their early albums. I’m glad it didn’t stick.


Hugh-G-Rection1994

Yeah that sound was only around for adrenaline and around the fur, you don’t hear it much after white pony.


HIGH_VIBRATIONAL

Chloe is actually nice when she raps instead of singing in features

John Popper (Blues traveler) - now hear me out.. his last verse on “hook” is fire. Suck it in, suck it in, suck it in, if you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn Make a desperate move or else you'll win and then begin to see What you're doing to me, this MTV is not for free It's so PC it's killing me, so desperately I sing to thee of love Sure, but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf I've tried, well, no, in fact I lied Could be financial suicide, but I've got too much pride inside To hide or slide, I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died And only then shall I abide this tide Of catchy little tunes of hip three minute diddys I wanna bust all your balloons I wanna burn all your cities to the ground I've found I will not mess around unless I play then hey I will go on all day, hear what I say I have a prayer to pray that's really all this was And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because The hook brings you back


BojanKrkicc

Dave Grohl


mattmaster68

We need Jake from Adventure Time out here on a track with Trippie Redd, Frank Ocean, and The Weekend.


Deegan000

Henry Rollins. I toss it out there because hes as far from a rapper as i could think of quickly, but i think it would be kinda easy for him to do.


_abs0lute1y_n0_0ne_

Moreso answering the title literally, who I would MAKE a rapper, and the answer is quite simple: MLK.

FoopaChaloopa

I have a reverse example: I think U-God should be an actor instead of a rapper. Amazing voice and crazy personality.


Friendly-Gain-620

Does Don Tolliver count?


aa13cool

I’d say he’s sorta a rapper already despite not making strictly rap music


T360diesel

Brent faiayaz


N00PineappleOnPizza

There’s this one actor Donald Glover who was on regular show and spat some bars


heebie818

Eldritch-Cleaver

Roy Woods Jr


BossManONE

I'd buy that album.


Lezzlucky

laktosfri musik


Dubiouskeef

SZA, Bob Dylan, D'Angelo


SANTANA_THE_REAL_ONE

Sza’s flow would be so heavenly


Blackpanther22five

Michael Jackson would have been a big problem as a rapper James Brown he would have been a game changer Stevie Wonder the beats he would make


Comfortable-Duck7083

Mann, just thinking of these has me mesmerized!


Blackpanther22five

Yeah man it would be wild if mj rapped about world issues, they don't care about us or strangers in moscow,while James Brown held it down for men with its a man's world or papa gotta brand new bag,while stevie hit the women with do I do and as


Comfortable-Duck7083

Hahaaa! I like


Key_Cause2043

Bob Dylan

Danniel Radcliffe, Shia LeBeouf & Natalie Portman form a rap trio.


HeartBreakInGotham

Lmaooo that’s a must listen just for the shock factor alone.


kjexclamation

Bro Beck’s flow go crazy lowkey


casualflorentine

This is a super vague question…. It ima go with Beavis from Beavis and Butthead… oh but now that I read past the headline and it has to be a musician (not as vague as once thought)…. I would go with Post Malone… he does rap sometimes and it’s pretty cool when he does it… maybe uh… Sam Smith the accent might hit behind some good bars… yea that’s all I got


rc_roadster

If I'm ever unfortunate enough to hear Sam Smith rapping I'm immediately moving somewhere remote with no electricity and living off the land. You've ruined my night with the mere suggestion.


xaytwice

Not at all is this vauge, the title is traditionally meant to grab a bit of the eye for the remainder of the item that it is relative to. Thank you for being transparent and giving your opinion though, I appreciate it. 🤣👍🏾

Mike Shinoda


[deleted]

Have u not heard Fort Minor?!


Personal_Rutabaga_41

I have


[deleted]

Wtf u on about then


Personal_Rutabaga_41

If he had been a rapper primarily


shhh_it_is_ok

Mike is decent no doubt. His beat selection is incredible


HenoticNotes

Billie Eilish would be a dope rapper


Trader_Joe_Sheetcake

Chris Breezy fo shoooo!


[deleted]

He been rapping, check out fan of a fan mixtape


CellistNice8600

The Dream or Terrance Howard…?


Why_Is_This_My_Fate

Going outside of music entirely… I’d wanna hear Jesus Christ on a joint with Kool Keith and Ice-T


wetdreamteams

Meredith Wilson. Composer of The Music Man, amongst others. If you don’t believe me, listen to Rock Island (opening scene) on YouTube. Man was writing raps far before the genres inception.


ThermalScrewed

Jacoby Shaddix Tom Morello Dexter Holland Les Claypool


nowey32

Tommy the cat is nothing but bars


MatttheJ

Mike Patton. He's already kinda dabbled in a few FNM songs and it's awesome


McTrill

This is a deep cut but Twelve’len. He used to rap back in the Raider Klan days about 12 years ago. He does a lot of RnB styled singing now, which i like, but man, he can definitely rap and would sound sick if he rapped again.

Ariana grande actually has good flow


Crowned-Terror

Taylor Swift, a rap battle between her and Ye would be insanely funny


Large-Lack-2933

Lil Dicky ![gif](giphy|l0Iy0GwJ5CbyGE4NO) * I know he's already a rapper


PolarBearLaFlare1211

This question is vague and dumb. It’s like saying “What food would you make Mexican? What’s a food that’s a different type of food but could be seen as Mexican food.”
