[WTFwasIthinking]

PENtheINSTRUMENT, we have to realize these people are more into commerical rap since it's more accessible and more appealing, than into straight hip hop.

Most of these people probably like the music that they can dance to and not the intellectual stuff. They don't really care about the word play, similes, metaphors, alliteration, punchlines, storytelling, etc. and this is most likely the reason why metal/rock fans hate rap/hip hop.

Anyways, my top 10 MCs/groups in random order.

1. Immortal Technique
2. Sage Francis
3. Big Pun
4. Eminem
5. Sticky Fingaz
6. The Fugees
7. Vishiss
8. Talib Kweli
9. Mountain Brothers
10. Chino XL (still "new" to have though)

It's really hard for me to pick a top 10, there's too many good ones out there. There's also a lot of rappers I'm trying to find out about.

dass what i'm talkin' about!!! FINALLY, a hip hopper

Immortal Technique is sick... I don't like Sage Francis's delivery cuz it's that acid rap sh*t but what he says is incredible... he's an amazing poet - i hear he wins tons of poetry contests... his words are deep as f**k...

Pun's CRAZY.... Eminem as well

I dun' like Sticky Fingaz at all... the Fugees were great but ehhh...

Kweli's the man... never even heard of the Mountain Brothers though I do hear that Red and Meth call themselves that sometimes cuz they always so high... LMAO

I think Chino XL's overrated though but yeah, more respect towards your list...


AND AS I DID SAY, THIS IS A THREAD ABOUT THE TOP 10 BEST RAPPERS.... NOT THEIR FAVORITE OR WHAT THEY LIKE LISTENIN' TO... I don't like listenin' to Sage Francis but I know he's an incredible MC

I remember that >< And I shot you, haha.

How bout top 5. (I'm lazy)
5)Rakim
4)Sugarhill Gang (it's the hip hop...it's confusing)
3)Run DMC
2)Biggie
1)Tupac

And it's so cute how you guys have 50 and Chingy and Em in there. They are sh!t compared to the people in my list. old school > new school. Fabulous?! Man you guys must be around 11...with out Rakim and Sugarhill you would have no Em or Fabulous. They didn't make history (well maybe Em but it's different.). Haha you youngins' (youngin- someone who doesn't know about the game) =)

oh god, you have no idea what you're talkin' about.... Rakim's the only one that deserves to be on that list.... you say Em's doesn't deserve to be in there... ummm, aright, TIMEOUT... he's about to pass Pac as the alltime album seller in the history of hip hop... he has the record for most records sold in the first week by a SOLO ARTIST.... he's got an album that almost went diamond....

that's just the mainstream success part of it.... lyrically, he's a mastermind... RAKIM is not touchin' him lyrically.... Rakim is sick but he's not Em.... he doesn't have the syllable rhyming down as well as Em, didn't do the punchlines as nice as Em, didn't even have the delivery down like Em does now... c'mon man, and RUN DMC?!?!?!? they're not even great rappers... they're great MC's YES because MC stands for "move the crowd"/"microphone controller" BUT you need the total package to be an MC... lyrically, none of 'em were that nice.... you know how basic their rhyme structure is? c'mon man, you don't even know what you talkin' about and actin' like you all ahead of someone.... even Fab would rip everyone on ya list honestly.... you haven't heard Fab spit on the real level.... listen to Breathe - his newest song that's just ridiciulous.... listen to his mixtape sh*t and you'll be amazed... you're probably stuck in the mainstream world where he releases the club/songs for girls/my car is better than your's type ish...... but you wrong 'bout him... at the top of his game, he's one of the elite...... wordplay, punchlines are CRAZY.... his syllable rhyming one of the best

as I said, Rakim's the ONLY one that deserves to be in any list.... Kool G Rap (old school if you wanna go that way) will murder everyone on that list EXCEPT Rakim.... I hope you know who that is.... you do right?

wrong. it's the best rappers IN UR OPINION! get it straight...everyone thinks differently and have different tastes. u can't convince someone to think the same way as u. be a lil open minded and have more respect for other pplz opinion, not just urs.

and as for that, I am open minded.... VERY, but if someone is COMPLETELY WRONG then I'ma correct them... I've proven why also the lists are completely off.... best rappers in your opinion is a very broad statement BUT there's technical stuff about MCing (AS I SAID BEFORE) and most of the guys named don't have any of 'em down....

It would be like someone naming the top 10 best cars and these people are naming one's that they like and then some car expert comes in and tell's them why those cars either suck or are worse than others.... most of the guys listed on mosts people's list suck, PERIOD
