The Greatest MC Of The New Millennium

[Twentytwofifty]

Now if hip-hop was created and began on January 1st 2000.  Who would be considered the greatest MC ever?  Here’s my top 10:

1. Eminem
2. Nas
3. Scarface
4. Ghostface Killah
5. Jay-Z
6. Royce Da 5’9"
7. Gza/Genius
8. Andre (of Outkast)
9. Cormega
10. Prodigy (of Mobb Deep)

Now I can’t find a reason to include the likes of Rakim, Slick Rick, Notorious B.I.G., etc. since they very little material released and yet to release an album.  Now I must be forgeting some people to have Prodigy in the top ten but he did drop a nice album with H.N.I.C. and sounded good and the Free Agents mixtape.

Now Nas and Eminem are the top two for sure, Nas dropping the better albums but Eminem edged him out with the impact he made.  Gza might be high but he's there cause he released a solid album and shined on the two Wu-Tang Clan albums, you can see from that material that he's one of the best.

Who's in you top ten?

[Don Breezio]

1.Nas
2.Guru
3.Eminem
4.Jay-Z
5.Method Man
6.Andre 3000
7.P. Diddy (not exactly an MC but has had a pretty big impact)
8.50 Cent (/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\)
9.M.O.P. (havent released much this year but they're about to blow up)
10.Canibus (he's about to become one of the greats with the RTJ album)

those are based on most influental imo, if you wanna go with greatest mc's in my opinion then it would go like this:

1.Nas
2.Guru
3.Canibus
4.Jay-Z
5.Brother Ali
6.Slug
7.AZ
8.Mos Def
9.Pharoahe Monch
10.M.O.P.

8.Mos Def
9.Pharoahe Monch

But neither of these guys have even released an album.  What have you heard from them that would put them that high?

[GangstaBoogy]

Crooked I, Juelz Santana, The Game, FaBolous

[Shin]

if hiphop was created only 3 years ago, em, jay-z & 50 cent would be regarded as the holy trinity of rap.

[Don Breezio]

8.Mos Def
9.Pharoahe Monch

But neither of these guys have even released an album.  What have you heard from them that would put them that high?

i'm thinking about the future too...pharoahe has released two songs so far (agent orange, and war feat. mos def) and mos def is rumored to have an album dropping soon. and mos has released a few dope freestyles...has anyone heard "What's Beef" by mos def? thats pretty dope.

Mostly young talent..  ppl that we are sure to see more of.
I'm sure Nas, Jay-Z, and more should have been there, but it's unknown how much more material they will make in the future.

[pappy]

mega would defnitly be on the top 5.  what about pac tho.  he has released 2 albums since 2000.  i kno its pushin it a bit but still there was some quality material an the way rap is it really stands out.  im a big mobb deep fan but i wouldnt put prodigy on there.  HNIC is dope but that album started to show the downfall of pee.  u gotta put nas,  em,  an jigga on there aswell.  as much as i dont wanna put him on this list u gotta put nelly b/c he has pushed an insane amount of units,  get mad airplay,  an brung in a new style of rap..  gotta put xzibit on there.  i would maybe put havoc on there b/c he has been one of the most consistant in the game.  ight heres my list in no order

1. nas
2. eminem
3.  xzibit
4.  nelly
5.  cormega
6.  havoc
7.  jigga
8.  pac
9.  ludacris
