an mc is not a rapper, so why everyone place jay-z, 2pac and biggie in their top 5? they might be great rappers, have sold many units and w/e, but theyre far from the best mc's....not even top 10 imo

I can only go by what i've seen in person...

1. Busta Rhymes

please someone define "emcee" and "rapper" cause if eminem isnt considered an emcee then what the fuck is...personnally i think of an emcee as anyone who uses wordplay, clever rhymes, ect. I would say eminem is an emcee where as tupac is not so much(maybe he is but i never really think of him as one) but definetly a hip-hop artist and guys you see on tv who jump on a beat and say whatever are rappers. Biggie would definetly be an emcee. If you grew up cipherin on the corner or in a hip hop shop theres no doubt your an emcee. Maybe im confused though...

1.Ice Cube

an MC is a master of ceremonies. but these so called hip hop heads have come up with their own believes of what an MC is which has absolutely nothing to do with the actual meaning(cats having dope lyrics,substance,flow doesn´t=an MC). actually the best real MC´s are often the most ignorant ones that knows how to rock a crowd.

[Drudge]

Juvenile: No he's not the best lyricist in the world but, I love the way he raps. Expecially on 'ya understand' I guess it's more of his style rather in context of his lyrics.

Eminem: The old one. He was sick on the Mic. He's lost that hunger.

Chino XL: Sick flow with one liners that will put you out of your misery.

Zach De LaRoca (rage against the machine) He's on some political shit i don't agree with, but he rhymes his opinions well.

Coffee (grits) His voice and flow is downright sic! No-one sounds like Coffee.

[ToOoOoN!!!]

Zach De LaRoca  is amazing
