I ain't mad at that list. Everyone listed is an arguable Top 10 MC. Obviously I'd switch a few people here and there like take Jigga out of #1 and replace Eminem with Scarface.

well atleast the mc's t hat are mentioned are idd as u say arguable top 10 MC's.. though i would put Nas, Rakim & 2pac above jay-z anyday.

[QuietTruth]

I don't think Jay deserves the first spot maybe top 5

You actually think 2Pac, Nas, Ghostface, and Biggie aren't worthy?

For some reason Nas at #5 is replaced by Honorable Mentions.

the list could have been a lot worse, obviously everyone will have their own corrections to make...

[Meho]

Nice list.

[soopa-man]

Its very good to see ICe Cube up in there man, he aside from KRS, RA, Kane and LL influenced that whole list man, I mean Cube started alotta shit Big Pac Jay rapped about, theyre album sequence and concepts are heavily influenced by Cube's albums...Nas really deserves a spot but Jay-Z is great and all but shit man he is as commercial as Snoop is, and Snoop has influenced and innovated, sold units brought in artist and help bring back artist as much as or if not way more than Jay-Z so that shit is disrespectful in a way to me, granted Jay-Z kept his name hot, but "Reasonable Doubt" dont hold any weight toward "The Chronic" "Doggystlye" and "Dynasty" dont hold any weight toward "Dogg Food" or "Murder Was The Case OST" against "Streets IS Watching" come on man! but its all good i guess it is what is....

of course Jigga is number one, his made the industry tons of money, and they reward him. Same with BET putting Jigga number 2 right above Rakim and below 2Pac.

[Spicemuthafuc*in1]

No way is Eminem top 10 Im sorry not even close

[Just Another Sunny day in California]

fuck jay-z being number 1....that's bullshit.  i'm not surprised though a new york rapper who always does shit for mtv programs.  i say the list 2-8 are legit but as for everyone else i think that list is fuckin wack.

[Juronimo]

Jay-Z has to be the most overrated rapper in history.
