whats wrong with chingy being on the list? dude had a huge run with his debut. and we gonna act like he didn't have nelly & Ludacris in their feelings?
is '99 even the best year for busta? you actually liked that janet Jackson song?
I have nelly over hammer, cuz country grammar was a more respected LP than "please hammer don't hurt em", and as much hate as nelly got, it paled in comparison to the hate for hammer. in fairnesss, those are two completely different time periods. hip-hop's gatekeepers were on their job more in hammer's heyday. but yea, explain why you would put hammer over nelly, and I might change my stance.
Hammer had a cartoon,Hammer had endorsements,Hammer had music videos that got shown in primetime tv like it was an event....Hammer got a James Brown cosign,a cosign against his own son Michael Jackson...James mustve really thought Hammer was a better entertainer and could take down Michael....then Hammer got called by Michael Jackson just to check the temprature and make sure everything cool
My nikka Hammer was the most loved and feared and hated in hiphop,and the most loved and feared hiphop artist in pop
Plus for being the greatest li e performer ever in hiphop he should get more props than Nelly off that alone
