Bunch of dope emcess in the list, respect who you chose and why. Noone's ever going to agree on a full top 20, but I can understand why everyone you chose is on there. Good looks :salute:

explain how DMX goes ahead of Cam, Jada & Pun. Dude had one good album and a next one that was aight.



.
first of all Dmx got a better voice than all of them and he's a better Song Writer.

Jada got limited subject matter and never dropped a classic album

Camron was dope but got lazy with his flow...

Big Pun was nice but only dropped one good album then fell off on his second album...

Disagree with a lot of the list. The order and some of the people on the list (Lauryn Hill?????? really?) but not terrible

And Cam should be in the top 20. But you're missing too many legends

To be fair

90% of your list has a limited subject matter

Cam'ron was one of the most important figures in rap history and has a long catalog of great music

Big Punisher is top 20 off skill alone. His debut rap album is a zillion times better than Lauryn Hill's from a pure MCing level.

You my nikka Bugs, just disagree with some of this

:stopitslime: Bugsmoran is a SOHH/Coli legend, deserves more respect than this shyt breh.

Interesting list. I couldn't put Lauryn Hill so high given the questions over how much stuff she actually wrote, plus the limited catalog.

can't go wrong with that top 3 tho

I think 2Pac is the most overrated rapper ever btw.

Reason people rank him high

He was extremely popular, probably most popular rapper ever
The controversy he caused
He had a lot of hits

If you break down his catalog of music, it's extremely light on quality material

Take DMX out, Ghostface in. Move Redman down more. Other than that a great list:youngsabo:

Camron was dope but his music didnt have an impact on HipHop like the 20 Emcees on my list... Camron's Swagger had more of an impact than his music...

Big Pun's debut album got 4 mics in the Source when it dropped and i agree with that rating.... really good album but not classic. He was a new improved Kool G Rap... Pun didnt do nothing i never heard before, just sped the flow up
