8) Before I discuss my topic, I'd just like to say its great to be in this forum and I hope to discuss any topic about rap and give my views.
My first topic is who do you all think is the Greatest of All Time? We are talking about MC's in general. The nominees are Ice Cube, Eazy E, Tupac, Biggie, Ice T, KRS One, Rakim or LL Cool J.
My own opinion would be Ice Cube to just nick it from Tupac. Eazy E would probably be third. Ice T is the Original Gangsta, so respect to him as well as LL Cool J as he's been around for a long time. But I think Cube is probably the greatest westcoast rapper along with Tupac.
I love all of Cube's and all of Pac's music. Lyrically Cube is head and shoulders above the rest. Pac is great too with some bomb ass lyrics. Only know Eazy E from his NWA days but respect to him for taking gansta rap to another level. Just a shame Eazy, Pac and Biggie are no longer with us.
Big props to Biggie as he was probably the greatest east coast rapper ever and he made good music too. Don't know much about KRS One or Rakim as I don't listen to their music but they have been in the rap music business for long so respect to them as well.
1. Ice Cube
2. Tuapc Shakur
3. Eazy E
4. Ice T
5. Biggie
6. LL Cool J
7. Rakim
8. KRS One
What do you all think?

before i get heat for putting biggie and eazy so low, heres my reason
1. the 6 rappers above biggie are more influencial and have done more for rap than big, big was great but the other 6 are greater i'm a fan of big so don't get this mixed up has hating and eazy was never an MC, he rapped but he wrote less of his lyrics than dre does, Eazy was entertaining but he's not really a true blue MC he does deserve to be in a top rappers list but i don't think he should top any lists

Michael Jackson KINDA Raps On A Couple Songs, But It's More Like Chanting, Or Something...... Lemme Find Some Lyrics...
Here's Somethin' Pretty Deep, "Tabloid Junkie" Off HIs 1995 History Album
(Rapped)
Speculate to break the one you hate
Circulate the lie you confiscate
Assassinate and mutilate
The hounding media in hysteria
Who's the next for you to resurrect
JFK exposed the CIA
Truth be told the grassy knoll
The blackmail story in all your glory
(Sung)
It's Slander
You say it's not a sword
But with your pen you torture men
You'd crucify the Lord
And you don't have to read it
And you don't have to eat it
To buy it is to feed it
So why do we keep foolin' ourselves
(Chorus, Sung)
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual, actual
They say he's homosexual (OH MY GOD, LOL)
(rapped)
In the hood
Frame him if you could
Shoot to kill
To blame him if you will
If he dies sympathize
Such false witnesses
Damn self righteousness
In the black
Stab me in the back
In the face
To lie and shame the race
Heroine and Marilyn
The headline stories of
All your glory
(Sung)
It's slander
With the words you use
You're a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
If you don't go and buy it
Then they won't glorify it
To read it sanctifies it
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves
(Chorus, Sung)
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual, actual
She's blonde and she's bisexual
Scandal
With the words you use
You're a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
And you don't go and buy it
Then they won't glorify it
To read it sanctifies it
Why do we keep foolin' ourselves
Slander
You say it's not a sin
But with your pen you torture men
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
You're so damn disrespectable

Oh, And Here's The Lyrics To "This Time Around", It's Half Rapped Too, With B.I.G. Doing A Verse, LOL
This time around I'll never get bit
Though you really wanna fix me
This time around you're making me sick
Though you really wanna get me
Somebody's out
Somebody's out to get me
They really wanna fix me, hit me
But this time around I'm taking no shit
Though you really wanna get me
You really wanna get me
(sung)He really thought he really had
Had a hold on me
He really thought he really had
They thought they really had control of me
He really thought he really had
Control of me
He really thought he really had
They thought they really could control me
(rapped)This time around I'll never get bit
Though you really wanna get me
This time around I'm taking no shit
Though you really wanna fix me
Somebody's out
Somebody's out to use me
They really want to use me
And then falsely accuse me
This time around
They'll take it like spit
'Cause you really can't control me
You know you can't control me
He really thought he really had
Had a hold on me
He really thought he really had
They thought they really had control of me
He really thought he really had
A hold on me
He really thought he really had
They thought they really had control of me
(Rap: The Notorious BIG)
Listen, I've got problems of my own
Flashin' cameras, taps on my phone
Even in my home I ain't safe as I should be
Things always missin'
Maybe it could be my friends
They ain't friends if they robbin' me
Stoppin' me from makin' a profit, see
Apology shallow like the ocean
I guess I'll resort to gun totin'
If I was dead broke and smokin'
I'd probably be by my lonesome
I'm a killer nigga I ain't jokin'
Endo smoke got me choked and I'm hopin'
The fool comes slippin'
So I could blow'em open
This time around
I changed up my flow
Got rid of the rotts
Got Pitts by the door
I've raised other peoples to watch my back
Stay away from strangers
So I won't slack
And I know my nigga Mike like that
Baby
(Michael)
This time around yeah...
He really thought he really had
Control of me
He really thought he really had
They thought they really had control of me
He really thought he really had
A hold on me
He really thought he really had
They thought they really had control of me
He really thought he really had
Had a hold on me
He really thought he really had
They thought they really had control of me
He really thought he really had
Control of me
He really thought he really had
They thought they really had control of me
He really thought he really had
A hold on me
He really thought he really had
They thought they really had control of me
This time around yeah
He really thought
