DR.DRE's 5 greatest MCs ever, believe it or not!!!
« on: November 24, 2001, 07:37:15 AM »
Dre was on BET 2mns ago saying that his 5 greatest MCs ever were IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER:
+ Rakim
+ Nas
+ Jay-Z
+ Ras Kass
+ Eminem

I knew he really loved Em coz he always talks about how lyrical Em is. And I knew he loved Nas (that's why Nas was the 1st East Coast MC to work with him) and Rakim... But I didn't know for Jigga and Ras Kass... BEFORE 2PAC, CUBE, XZIBIT OR SNOOP, believe it or not???!!! I respect that though... I'm feelin' that... even though I would have put Pac and Cube up there. But again Ras Kass is so fucking ILL lyrically...

I'm a little surprised at that list...I didn't know he regarded Jigga so highly...Ras Kass is ill but I don't know if he is top 5 ever...I would put Krs-1 and Cube instead of Em and Jigga...

I thought he might have jay-z on his list considering he had him write still d.r.e. The only thing that shocks me is ras kass and eminem. They are good but aren't top 5.

Ras Kass is the only shocking MC on the list.

I swear cube better make it to atleast the teens in this list. He is so slept on these days because of all the movies he makes people actually forget he was a great rapper.  This countdown is already a disgrace considering mobb deep is  49, raekwon is #47, epmd is a #43, big pun is a #42 and master p is above them at a #38 what makes it worst is that the brat is over them at a #37. MP shouldn't even be on the list.

So far they have Mobb Deep/Prodigy at #49 (!!!!!!), Luke at #40 and Master P at #38... That's when you know there's something wrong... I'll post the whole BET Top 50 later so we can discuss it... Da Brat deserves her spot somewhere on the list though. A lot of people sleep on Da Brat coz she's fuckin' with JD. But she got one of the most incredible flow in Hip Hop history... YEAH, I said it...

That ain't really a gr8 top 5, I mean Jay Z.. ::)...Em & Nas are ok but I guess Pac did't get on it becos of Pac dissin Dre a lot befo Pac's death....I mean would oyu put a person on your top 5 MC's list if he dissed you quite a few times (I know, I know...it was supposedly Suge Knight that made Pac diss Dre) but no Snoop prolyl becos every1 know Snoop & Dre are close so no point, Cube?..Dre prolly forgot about him....anyways it an aight list but could do with sum more MC's...shoulda done a top 10 cos it easier to pick ppl rather than askin some1 for their top5.

Some of y'all be tryin to find excuses for Snoop but DRE DIDN'T PUT HIM IN THE LIST, PERIOD!!!! Top 10, he would be on it... yeah  yeah, whateva, maybe... (he's in MINE fo' sure) but he ain't in the Dre's Top 5. All y'all sayin' DRE forgot Snoop and Cube, that's bullshit!!! HE PREFERS OTHERS. It's simple as that. It doesn't mean Snoop or Cube are wack (no one in his fuckin' right mind would say they ain't 2 of the illest) but kill the excuses, pleeeze... I was surprised myself by Dre's choice (that's why I posted the thread) but RA, EM, RAS, JIGGA and ESCO, that's DRE's muthafuckin' list... PE-fuckin'-RIOD!!!!!! We can all post our thoughts on it, but again, kill the dumb excuses ("everyone know Dre and Snoop are close" and that kinda shit; fuck that...)
