Best Rapper Alive - 2015

[Inspect Her Deck]

This is the first official thread for a series I'll call 'Best Rapper Alive'. Basically, in this thread (http://www.thecoli.com/threads/revi...list-how-can-we-make-it-more-accurate.465427/), I discussed Complex's article that covered this very issue.

I thought we'd do a Coli spin on things and vote for who we believe to be the rap MVP of each year. I will be going from 1985-2015 but the threads won't be made in ascending or descending order. Just random.

Basically, I will be listing contenders as poll options for MVP of any given year and y'all get one vote to vote for your MVP.

POINT SYSTEM
I will only reward the top 5 finishers of each poll.

1st place = 10 points
2nd place = 5 points
3rd place = 3 points
4th place = 2 points
5th place = 1 point

The reason the remaining 4 places matter is because when all is said and done, I'll be tallying up points to see who finishes in the top 10 ever. This is done to reward consistent top 5 placers in multiple years even if they never won the MVP for one given year.

CONTENDER PRE-REQUISITES
There's only one real pre-requisite. You must have an album released in that year. This matters more to me than it does to you guys since I'm making the poll options, but just so y'all know this is the angle I'm coming from. Snoop Dogg cannot be in contention for 1995 for example.

As for groups and duos, if there's a standout member I will put them for contention if I deem them worthy enough e.g. Andre 3000 for 1998 or Ice Cube for 1988.

As for number of contenders per thread, it will depend on the year. A year like 1994 will likely have 10-15 contenders (max poll option is 15), but for 1985 it could be 5-6 only.

If your desired contender for any year is not one of the poll options and you plan to vote for that person, please make it known in the thread so I can add a poll option. DO NOT complain about an artist missing if you don't have intentions to vote for him/her.

Today, 2015 is up for discussion. One of the best years of the decade.

I thought I'd also make a new hashtag for y'all to follow, so you can keep up to date with every thread release. Let's go with #BRAColi.

To Pimp a Butterfly will go down in that greatest album discussion someday. I think Kendrick should win for 2015, and he's my pick. Honourable mention and runner up spot to Vince Staples, who perhaps was the best RAPPER of 2015. But edge to Kendrick.

 

[MidnightMercenary]

Kendrick gets my vote for last year. To Pimp a Butterfly is a modern day masterpiece and my favorite album of the decade. Not to mention, that TPAB was huge with hip hop heads and music fans.

 

[Deltron]

Kendrick

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Big Hoodoo

 

[mobbinfms]

 

[Renegade47]

K Dot dropped the best hip hop album

but lupe went super sayain last year

 

[NoHalfWay]

Carrera Lu, of course.

 

[MidnightMercenary]

One of my favorites on the album

 

[mobbinfms]

Joey probably had my second favorite album although it went under the radar

 

[Zero]

TPAB wasn't even better than GKMC but whatever

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Sean Don gets my vote. Album was good, killing features and just was a big year for him

 

[The Ruler 09]

K-Rino is my pick.

Scarface should be on the list in my opinion, he dropped a very dope album a lot of people liked...

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

And I put everything in motion like I-N-G
And when we flyin' private you could bring the gun on with us
I got this freak to 3rd base, she tryna run home with us
And I got comma on comma on comma on comma... on comma
And I ain't talking about no run on sentence
Yeah, nikka hot headed so I need that Chings Chili
Put my P up on her head like that bytch is reppin' Philly
And I wheelie in that p*ssy like my nikka Meek Milly
On my way to meet millis
