Why is Lil Wayne & Drake up there? They are both garbage.
Dr. Dre is a Producer.
Wiz Khalifa sucks; all he raps about is weed. J. Cole should be in his place.
Who the f**k is Mac Miller?
The only decent rappers on the list are Tupac, Biggie and Eminem, but they are just that; "just rappers."
Nas is a true MC, so he's on another level. You picked shitty artists. Where are the TRUE MC's?
Common
Rakim
Mos Def
Talib Kweli
KRS-ONE
Immortal Technique
Black Thought
Jay-Z (Reasonable Doubt - 1996)
Hell.. even Lupe Fiasco is a true MC at his best.
I don't mind that mainstream shit.
Kanye West (post-College Dropout) is the best mainstream rapper out there. His main focus is the beat, but he makes sure his lyrics are up to par. He knows how to make good music without rapping about guns, sex, violence, or drugs. He makes song that anybody can enjoy, including people who don't even like rap.
That's why Kanye has 14 Grammys. You must login or register to view this content.
But honestly... kids today wouldn't know REAL Hip-Hop if it bit them on the ass.
And this is coming from a 19 year-old.
There are people who actually believe that Eminem & Lil Wayne are the BEST rappers ever. So... :dumb:

Damn... didn't know that. Guess I typed all that shit for nothing :carling:
I voted for Tupac though, just out of respect. He wasn't a true lyricist, but he spit some positive rhymes in some of his songs like "Keep Ya Head Up" "Wonder Why They Call You Bitch" and "Shorty Wanna Be A Thug"
I looked over that list of artists I put up, and I totally forgot about the female MC's :dumb:
