im saying thats the only way Rae is above Ghost for example. Or Rakim above Nas, if you consider them both exceptional mcs you can put one in front of the other by "street cred", where Nas doesnt really register compared to the ultimate hustler Jigga Man.
Anyway thats just how i look at the list, feel a lot of the rankings are connected to what the ig page usually does: street and flyness
