46) Too Short
47) Raekwon
48) Melle Mel
49) Prodigy/ Mobb Deep
50) Missy Elliott

Thoughts and interesting stuff about the Top 5O show:

+   RAKIM at #4 ?????????? Jigga over the god RA????????????????? UN-BE-LIEVA-FUCKIN-BLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's life on Mars, now I know... But RA is the only one of the older generation to be in the Top 5. That should tell a lot to all y'all 14 years old out there who went to vote... RAKIM WILL ALWAYS BE THE ILLEST...
+   JAY-Z before NOTORIOUS B.I.G. might shock a lot of people but I saw that comin'... Damn, it's still shocking though... but it shows what kinda RESPECT Jigga has nowadays... God! HE GOT PROPS FROM BLACK THOUGHT!!!!! Thought doesn't give props to mainstream rappers like that!!!! That's something...
+   I really had a HARD time typing "Nelly" and "Ja Rule"... Fo' real. That's straight up violation... And Juvenile, Master P and Luke? Damn... Of course that shit's gonna be controversial as hell but, hey, my Top 50 doesn't look quite like this one...
+   Ras Kass, Talib Kweli, Beanie Sigel, The Lady Of Rage and Big L are the MAJOR misses in my opinion... but I'm glad to see Mase ain't even near that list...
+   I think Prodigy's spot really reflect how he fell off in people's mind since "The Takeover"; I realize now that Jay-Z REALLY burned him... I still luv P though, no question...
+   Jigga before Nas doesn't surprise me considering WHO voted but it's ALWAYS gonna be NAS 1st in my opinion (no diss to Jigga coz he's the man...)
+   I'm happy to see that BIG DADDY KANE got his well deserved Top 15 spot coz he's the shit... I can't believe KRS-One is #17 though and Redman #26... Damn, damn, damn...

wheres  Dre on that list  ?    i know  ghostwriters   write his shit sometimes   but   MC   is  someone who  rocks the crowd  .  Dre  should be on that  muthafuckin list  ......... and  he should be in the  top 15    in my eyes .  

too short got  some  much deserved credit though ....... thats  good to see the pioneer get some shine .

That list honestly was a piece of shit. Nelly at #20 alone made me mad. What has happened to the beautiful artform of Hip Hop. Pac coming in at #1 was good but damn Master P,Fat ass Missy,Ja Rule?????? Can you tell some 12 year old's voted???    I listen to some Nelly and Ja Rule and DMX BUT THESE FOOLS DON'T FUCKIN DESERVE TO BE ON THIS LIST. I would have picked Ras Kass,TechN9ne and Brotha Lynch over them but for the most part most of the list was mainstream bullshit >:( >:( >:(

Ah, List Wasn't TOO Far Off.  Of Course I Don't Agree With It Pefectly, But It Isn't Just Totally Wrong.  The Top 20 Looks Decent, At Least.  I Would Have Put Black Thought Much, Much Higher Though, He's So Dope.  I'd Put Cube And Eminem Much Higher, Too... Having DMX Ja Rule, Nelly, And Eve Higher Than Black Thought, Slick Rick, And Common Is Probably Gonna Keep The Reviewers Outta The Pearly Gates, If Ya Know What I Mean.

2Pac = G.O.A.T (even if he wasn't on the list as that he still would b in my eyes!), but tut, tut, tut, the rest is a shambles! Jigga in the top 5ive, honestly, he prolly wouldn't make my top 10. It's dope to see Snoop so high too ;D Ja Rule #19!! Total BS!! Busta over KRS One! Geeeez, the majority of this list has got me thinking if they even know whut an MC is!
