While beef has always been an integral part of hip-hop, it’s been those who’ve walked the fine line between reality raps and selling a product that have maintained a respectability about the craft. While it seems to have all gone down the sh*tter with rappers getting into tiffs about expensive cars and innuendo, there’s still a place in rap for the tough guys.

These selected few may not be the one’s to beat up their girlfriends, but they certainly aren’t the one’s to piss off either. Enjoy! (Shout out to The Smoking Section for the inspiration.)

Check out these goons below:

Did we miss anyone? If so, who do YOU think is a “certified goon”…? Speak on it in the comments section!

    Seems like everybody is coming at these “pillow” rappers, yung berg should probably just hang it up. These alleged beatings explain where he’s been these last couple months. It just goes to show you violence is everywhere. How u want to beat up Tyga? I mean he’s so uncontroversial… Was that necessary?

    Oh and Mr. Clark, in case things don’t work out with you and Ms. London… I’m here lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jasemmie/ Jasemmie

    Yeah, these are true goons. I don’t think you missed any body else because a few other rappers are either true thuggs, gangsta’s, hustler’s, pimp’s, and the rest (most of them) are wanna be’s. Im glad that you didn’t mention Lil Wayne because he’s a gangsta in his own way or around his hood, but a real BG? Hell no, a goon? hell no, but he still got a little street cred. You got them all down packed though, Just Ice Kool G Rap should be at the top of the list,Kool G Rap should be second, that’s my nigga, and Gooci Mane third, he’s a true goonie.

That means no chains saying goon on it, no excessive tats after you become famous or joining a gang after you get a milli or 2 in the bank. Open your eyes people gain knowledge and be free

    I can vouch for Trick Daddy. other than that i dont know any of these niggas so i dont know what they do or did. Plies is super fake u can ask anyone in florida. but i guess if u keep tellin yaself u a real nigga then it comes true. fuk that lame.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/coco5-10/ coco5-10

    Uuuummm, I’m sorry, but they forgot J Prince…If ya don’t know him, look him up. But this nicca is no punk. But what makes him even more of a goon is the fact that he keeps his name/face out of the spotlight. He’s real laid back with it, but many of these Hollywood “goons” brought they ass to Houston & got straight dismissed & embarrassed.

    This article is sad. Why glorify thugs, goons, whatever they call themselves? Most of these boys do not have a clue to what it means to be hard. Just fighting or brawling does not make you hard period. There is only a few I recognize and they are poor excuses for human beings (Trick Daddy & Gucci Mane). Rappers from the 80s and 90s were speaking the truth. I agree with you 100% heallah. Well said!

    i’m sorry pretty-cp but i guarantee u that Trick Daddy does more for his community than most of the people u look up to who are supposed to be clean and wholesome. that man makes sure kids in the projects get christmas gifts every year as well as blockparties, fundraisers and all that. do your research before you shun everyone.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2The5thD/ 2The5thD

    How can you make a goon list without including Beans aka Beanie Sigel? That dude is a beast in the booth and the streets.

    And no one is glorifying goons or thugs. Its just recognizing the artists that actually live the life they talk about in their songs since those types of artists are so few and far in between these days.

    why do yall post up ignorant s**t like this? wouldnt it be more beneficial to our race to talk about rappers who do things for their community instead of tearin it down? Mr. Clark, you already know that by posting this type of nonsense that we black people are gonna gravitate towards it thus giving it more power. YOU sir, are the house nigga!

    If this is what this world has come to, its a sad commentary when we start highlightin goons, so i guess this is what our young people got to look forward to, what about setting a positive black image, like a stand up father and role model, graveyards are full of goons, keep the line movin,,,,,,
