In a genre with Rakim, KRS, Nas, Chuck D, Redman, Hov, Pac, Ice Cube, and others, Ghostface is barely out of the top 10 list. However, he is DANGEROUSLY underrated.

As opposed to what? your INDIVIDUAL opinion? :mjlol:

Uh, yeah. That's what it ultimately is regardless: your opinion...no matter how much you try to dress up it with what you deem as qualifying criteria, which you go on to do next...

(1) To have big sales, you have to show consistency, and thus, sales are an indication of whether or not the consumers are wiling to pay for your product...

(2) Received accolades from peers is a better way of judging if an artist is worth his/her salt than listening to what an individual fan has to say....

Eminem, Jay Z and 2Pac have the sales and praise from their peers, and therefore they are MORE deserving of the Top 3 spots in Hip Hop than ANY other rapper that has ever held the MIC....

And that assessment was formulated by who? Oh yeah..,you.

You can't make a REASONABLE and OBJECTIVE case for another rapper to be better than Eminem, Jay Z or 2Pac...

Also, Nelly, Biggie, MC Hammer, DMX, 50 Cent, Ludacris are ALL MORE deserving Top 4 or 5 than GFK...

If we are being OBJECTIVE....That's the key word...

This dude said Hammer and Nelly > Ghost. :deadmanny:

(1) Album sales is NOT an opinion though...It is a number that can be QUANTIFIED...It is NOT my opinion that Eminem, Jay Z and 2Pac have sold 30+Millions of albums...It is a FACT more than that it is the TRUTH...Regardless of my personal feelings and emotions...

(2) Since album sales is an OBJECTIVE criterion, give me a LOGICAL rationale to why it should be ignored when deciding GOAT status...?

(3) At least, my opinion is based on an OBJECTIVE criterion, and that's why it is better than most...

(4) Nelly and MC Hammer have a better shot at Top 10 than GFK...MC Hammer had cartoons, action figures and had reach ACROSS THE GLOBE...His legacy CANNOT be denied...

MC Hammer did MORE for hip hop than Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick and other 80's rappers...I was a kid in South Africa and I knew about Mc Hammer and no damn Rakim...Rakim was local compared to Mc Hammer...

Name Rakim songs bigger than "Can't Touch This" "Too Legit To Quit" and "You Gotta Pray"...You CANNOT...:mjlol:

He's pretty legit top 10 and you'd have to be a fan of some strange niche of rap only and only like artists from that niche to not have ghost top 15 at least. I'd say top 6-9 on my list

he's dope, but it depends on what your taste in rap is.

There's only about 5-7 rappers that EVERYONE can agree are tops all time
