You know what? How about I go and listen to Follow the Leader again right now.
I was 7-8 so you right.
Ice Cube writes the rhymes that I say.
Was he in talks as the best rapper in 88?Biz had 88 on smash thats why the list is bullshyt.
Biz had 5 hits that year. Op isn't qualified to make a proper 88 thread.
Dude has cube and Too short but not one of the bigggest rappers of 88?
Biz was bigger than Cube and Too short and Kool Keith in 88
And Kane wrote his rhymes.
Kyle C. Barker
Migos VERZUZ Mahalia Jackson
I didn't wanna say anything
But when you add in roxanne shantes stuff with biz's stuff kane was holding down '88 on three fronts with his own music plus the ghostwriting.
If someone says they want to vote for them, @Inspect Her Deck will add them.No Fresh Prince no Biz Markie?
But you'll put cube who wasn't even solo
Thread fail.
Ya'll should have flava flav on that list along with Chuck d.
Flav was the stand out of the group and he was waaaaaaay bigger than cube in 88.
But most of ya'll weren't there and wouldn't know that
This list is really shytty

You weren't there.
Eazy was the star of NWA he came out first . Eazy had the world thinking he was a teen , that was his appeal Cube came later. There's no way Cube stood out over Eazy in 88.
As for what album u liked better thats irrelevant because as big as Ain't No Half Steppin was Kane did not have singles like Slick Rick
I dare u to say Half Steppin had the streets like Children Story.
Kane couldn't do a follow up single on a classic level like Slick Rick
Kane couldn't do a 3rd single on a classic level like Slick Rick
As for classic cuts that became singles with no video Mona Lisa will always be bigger than Kane s classic 'Raw'
ricky d had the empire behind him called def jam
while Kane was on some lil starter up label called cold chillen
with that said Kane still had the streetz on smash
and let me reiterate my original statement when this whole process is being created I clearly stated said rapper shouldnt be place into a year only based off his album was released in that said year
this is the perfect example ricks LP drop'd very late '88
Kane LP drop'd before the summer of '88
@Inspect Her Deck @mobbinfms
BTW
>>> 'young world' & 'teenage love' ((even tho Rick play'd Kane in his vid))
rob base looking like this nikka
but on da real, 'it takes two' might been a bigger party song due to the element of dance
BUT on dem streetz, in dem clubs, on da radio 'ain't no half steppin' ruled !!!
No
On the streets , radio and clubs It Takes 2 was dominant.
It Takes 2 had the elders and the kids. Ain't No Half steppin didn't.

More often than not I tend to take that L.
88. To me that was the golden time in hip hop.
Sooooo much piff that year. My all time fav duo Epmd. U had the Juice Crew dropping piff. Krs 1. Pe
Not to mention the fun acts like Biz, Kid n Play, Etc.
Im a Kane stan.. but i had to give it to Rakim the god. Very slim margin but he was too raw.
