if itīs for "master of ceremonies" then none of the rappers you listed should be on there coz they all suck live. and thatīs what a MC should be great at, Lil Jon is actually a better "MC" then those listed.

You're right. Biggie was no great live performer, but I bet you haven't seen KRS.......!

Nah, but seriously. Biggie had that ability to freestyle but he wasn't a great live performer, but I really do consider KRS, Black Thought, Common and Jeru some amazing performers who really move the crowd.

^i dunno about that, i saw Common and Kanye and Ye rocked the house atleast 20x harder(iīm not even exagerrating)then Common. people were damn near falling asleep when Common performed. dunno why he even brought a live band with him when they hardly changed the songs to suit a live performance. Commonīs the shit if you sit at home listening to him and thatīs about it.

^^ Yeah, I guess it really depends on the setting. Most of these I've seen rocked a small venue and really turned things upside down. I haven't seen Common live though, except for some footage, which seemed really good.

Anyway, I see where ur coming from. Props :)

well it was in an arena that takes about 13k, i think he´s better suited for venues that takes like 1-3k.

I find it hard to compare rappers like

Rakim
KRS-ONE
Big Daddy Kane

with rappers like

2Pac
Biggie
Ice Cube

and to compare them with

Jay-Z
Eminem


Often "musicknowers" seam to underrate "overrated rappers"... but i think we got a simple asnwear on the number one spot...

I'm really sorry, but 2Pac really doesn't come anywhere near my top 5. So if that makes me a cocky self-proclaimed "musicknower" as you call it, so be it. But don't force your opinion on others... His music just doesn't move me at all, and for your information, the same goes with N.W.A (Ice Cube's early solo-career is an exception). Stuff like that doesn't move me, so they'll never make it to my top5. But hey, guess what! That's an opinion!
