Blaze's 50 Greatest MCs Ever!

(1/4) > >>

Twentytwofifty:
I'll post this since maybe some of y'all didn't come across or were award of it when it came out.  Blaze was a hip-hop mag which was off shoot of Vibe but I guess it just wasn't sucessful.  This is from the Feb 1999 issue so they probably put these lists together around Oct-Dec 1998.  I disagree with some stuff obviously, but overall I think it's a pretty good job.

Here you go...

West Coast Veteran:
I had that issue too. The list is pretty good. The Top 10 is almost perfect except I'd take Jigga out and put Chuck D up in there.

I found this article in the last Blaze issue and just thought y'all might find it interesting.

Blaze's 10 most influential albums of the 90's

1993 - Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang [36 Chambers]
1994 - OutKast - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik
1995 - Fugees - The Score <----This was actually released in 1996
1996 - 2Pac - All Eyez On Me
1997 - The Notorious B.I.G. - Life After Death

There were reasons why these albums were picked but they're way too long to write.
