i hesitate to throw jay on the list becasue hes dumbed his shit down so much recently same thing with redman

[Hack Wilson - real]

in no particular order

biggie
jeru the damaga
nas
kool g rap


i hesitate to throw jay on the list becasue hes dumbed his shit down so much recently same thing with redman

big l and big pun > biggie and jayz



i love the Jeru the Damaja mention though, sun rises in the east is classic

[Petey]

i cant agree with that



big L was nice but im not sure he ever got to peak i know that he never got to show much range, i know rap especially loves the ask bevis line he had...i always felt like jay kinda borrowed big ls rhyme style but still though jay has some lines that still got by me all these years later ill put on a old jay record like damn he was really talking about some other shit.

i love pun and i want to put him on the list but it be a lie if someone said he didnt just kind of carbon copy kool g rap so thats why i put g rap over pun

redman in his hey day was so fucking ill...this thread got me listening to muddy waters and dude is fucking spittin it.

[Ghost Drebin]

Opio
Rakim
Monche
3k
Nas

[Petey]

how in the fuck did i leave off rakim...


i thought long and hard abount monch too...


andre is cool but not as good as some say....personally for me big boy>


opio is pretty ill too havent really paid much attention to dude the past few years...wasnt really a huge heiro fan.



i honestly feel canibus deserves to be on this list but i really hate dudes music so i dont list him. i recognize talent but that dont mean i gotta love it.

[Hack Wilson - real]

ill put crooked i, big l, big pun, chino xl and mc juice as my top 5


hesitant about chino because he's a one trick pony but so was Mark McGwire and he was great
