I’m waiting for Joe Budden and the coli tastemakers to say that there’s at least 25 people outside of the top 10, that are top 10:birdman:

He's not a true MC, but no one can deny his impact...doesn't he have more #1 hits than elvis and the beatles?

I'd like to see a list that doesn't factor in commercial success, and focuses on the quality of work...when commercial hits are taken into account you get whacked out lists with drake being a better MC than Q-Tip and Black Thought, and people like Raekwon and Prodigy not even making the top 50...

Best MC and most popular/most successful MC are different lists. Nicki Manaj & Drake are pop artists, not MCs

Same here but it'll never happen in mainstream outlets cause it's too controversial. Someone's feelings gonna get hurt.

But you can bet Common ain't gonna be no damn 37th on that list :martin:

If you include features Gucci has more gold and platinum plaques than Game, Gucci has more hits than Game, and Gucci has been one of the most influential rappers of the past 20 years (drill and trap)

Maybe it’s an internet thing to clown Guwop but people love him and you can’t deny his impact in real life


Those features will still be what they are with or without him ....

I can name you rappers that ADD to features. He ain't on it

A top 50 list without Prodigy is hysterical.
Especially when he's solidly top 20 no contest.


Epmd ...Run Dmc.....should be on the list as ONE
Their contribution mattered that much not to be relegated..

I can do the same.

They tell you their criteria. My list would be totally different and I can do the same.

Can you tell me why they chose him for his position? Can you also tell me why he shouldn’t have been there. If you can’t see both sides then don’t just tell me your personal preference.

Send them an email or dm

So Lupe, AZ, Big Boi, EPMD, Raekwon, Prodigy, Jeezy, Treach, Kurupt, Tash, Xzibit, Earl, Freddie Gibbs, GZA, Foxy Brown, Tyler, Styles feel like boderline 50-100 talent. With 4 I mentioned pretty high assuming Snoop and Nicki make it aside from the obvious ones
