DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection

Will Eminem ever be above Biggie?

<< < (8/12) > >>

abstruse:
This is the list.

1. Rakim - Inventing and perfecting the multi-syllable rhyme scheme. Influenced the way emcees rap now.
2. KRS-One - Brought together the community,taught the community, and was the unofficial spokesperson for hip-hop.
3. Ice Cube - Brought credibility to West Coast emcees, while dropping classic after classic.
4. Slick Rick - The Great Adventures of Slick Rick.
5. Nas - He dropped Illmatic, and has influenced every rapper since.

To tell you the truth, 2pac and Eminem are neither in my top 10. Tupac did have a huge impact on Hip-Hop, but he brought nothing new to it, infact his 'thug persona' could be the turning point for quality hip-hop music as we know it. He was a mixture of N.W.A.'s 'gangsta style', while at the same time trying philosophize, teach, and bring together the black community like KRS-One. Eminem is an ill emcee, but lacks the catalogue that many other appers have. Don't get me wrong, I listen to him all the time, but he has not brought nothing to the table that is mindblowing.

SGV:
How are Biggie, Pac and Em in the top 10?

KRS
Cube
G Rap
Slick Rick
Chuck D
Ice-T
D.O.C.
Scarface
Too Short
Big Daddy Kane

D.O.C. is debateable, but that's pretty much the top ten, not in order of course. That's skill, longevity, influence, albums.

lol... hey... best female rapper ever. Was very nice, and had a great message. Also, 5 grammy's for a hip-hop/r&b album isn't bad, and had a nice singing voice to go with her skillz. top 15 for sure, doesn't have to be hardcore.

The Watcher:
you're never going to get everyone to agree on a top 10 MCs list.. another pointless debate

Good choices, not the exact same as mine but some great rappers in there people sleep on like Chuck D, Ice-T & BDK.
