You can't please everybody

if you don't like the fact that 2-5 rappers being or not on top 50 list, then the list is good.

Where the fukk is Kool Moe Dee and Ghostface Killah? Queen Latifah and Lil Kim huh? But no MC Lyte. And whoever's idea it was to put Lupe at the bottom. Kill yourself cause that man is easily in the top ten of all time lyricists. No Raekwon Kurupt (in his prime he couldn't be touched) or GZA.
