Just realized I left Rakim off :snoop: edited to add.

I was about to write Sean Price in there too, but I'm trying to guess names Don Jesus might actually have that high :lolbron: same reason I left O.C. off.

With Phife, same deal, I think he will be penalized because Tip more prominent and had the more accomplished solo career. But I hope he get proper recognition.
