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.
-
nothin realy suprised me on this list...we could kinda guess drez tastes in mcz by those who he works wit and by all kinds of other shitz....weird he didnt put biggie, pac or cube up there but hell... mceein iz a lil dif thing from bein a rappa ....em waz once sayin dat he seez mceein and rappin as a lil dif things he said he alwayz could feel pacz lyricz but pac waznt neceserly hiz fav mc...dre would probly put pac, cube and big under best rappaz...
-
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...
-
no pac?
guess pacs disses really did hurt him
-
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...)
-
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
LOL. Thats Not The Reason At All. Dr Dre Always Gives Props To Tupac.
-
Thank you, LOGIC... Cats be tryin to find excuses for Pac, Snoop and Cube... Nonsense!! Dre doesn't have to agree with all y'all...
-
They probably paid Dre to say Nas Jay Z and Raskass
cause u know dre would sell out on his friends in a second for $$$$

No diss, but that's ONE OF THE MOST STUPID SHIT I'VE HEARD IN A LONG ASS MUTHAFUCKIN' TIME...
-
why else would he vote Ras Kass over snoop/cube?
-
Because Ras Kass is an amazing lyrisist and MC, thats why so stop with your dumbass statements.
The question is top MC's, if it was top 5 rappers i am sure Dre woulda put Snoop and Pac in there; i am surprised however that Cube ain't on his list but oh well/
-
hate on me if y'all want... but i think that list is 100 bull...... .. it's all a commersial thang....
if dre likes jay z and nas and rakim that much... how comes he (almost) never done tracks with them?? cuz y'all know the doctor can hook up with any rapper he want to....

Rakim is on AFTERMATH... Nas was the FIRST East Coast MC to work with Dre... And Jigga wrote Still D.R.E., Dr. Dre official, I-can't-miss-this-time comaback single (plus Dre appeared on Life And Times Of S. Carter)... I rest my case, son...

I 100% agree with u, that is some bull shit

Once again:
Rakim is on AFTERMATH... Nas was the FIRST East Coast MC to work with Dre... And Jigga wrote Still D.R.E., Dr. Dre official, I-can't-miss-this-time comaback single (plus Dre appeared on Life And Times Of S. Carter)... I rest my case, son...

before replying, i suggest that you read my post carefuly....
jigga wrote still dre .. --> so what??.... dre dont write ANY (almost any) of his rhymes...
rakim is on aftermath ---> .. strange that i havent heard dre given rakim mad props the day he singed.... or even years BEFORE he singed... if dre consider rakim as one of the 5 goat, he would say it to mtv (becuz of commersial reasons... selling cd's and shit).............
-
Ras Kass is amazing, period. Sometimes im surprised at the ignorance this board has, and i have to settle for the Soundcircuit.com board :-/
-
If Dre put Jay-Z up there just cos Jay Z wrote "Still DRE" then that is fucked up....I mean Dre is asked for his top 5 MC's....not "who done things for you/you done things for them" list......Dre has got 2 stop ass kissin ppl and be honest...cos I gaurentee that if you asked him when the TV was no there....that list would be a whole lotta different.

Man, I don't know about YOU but I heard DRE say Rakim is the GREATEST before today... And that was on fuckin' BET... PLUS, one way or another, RAKIM is in everyone who knows about Hip Hop Top 5... So, no, I don't see your point...

Bullshit... Jigga deserves every little bit of props he gets from Dre or whoeva for that matter... And he ain't even my favorite rapper OR MC... But real recognizes real and Dre's fo' real...
-
Yea..Hes like These Are my top 5 MC's No order I knew he was going to choose 2 of them I didnt know about the rest though..
Rakim
Nas
Jay-Z
Ras Kass
Eminem
-
I would've liked to see Pac up there, but then this is Dre's own PERSONAL opinion, it's no biggie that he doesn't reflect all of our oppinions.

-
im feelin what top dogg said about how slept on cube is, people think of cube from friday and 3 kings and shit thesedays...they forget all those classic albums.
-
Ras Kass is the only shocking MC on the list.
What was that supposed to mean homie. He deserved to be on there. Dre's been a fan of him. That's why he got down with Rass on "Ghetto Fabulous." Probably how he ended up hooking up with X to da Z.
Yo... I'm real dissapointed he put Jigga on the list though, I'm started a new thread, I need someone to explain to me in detail what makes Jigga so great. Because I don't get it.
-
^ You'd think Dre would say Cube or Pac.
-
This is a TOP 4 list. Cut Em, he in Aftermath. We all know he cant be in a TOP 5, ;D
It's like Afeni saying Pac is in the TOP 5. Or SNOOP saying Tray Dee is in the TOP 5. U know what i mean?
