Vary greatly and be valid? True. And I'm not sure it's for no reason, maybe is a reason, not sure what it would be, he did leave some greats off but also had a lot of greats on too.

Terrible list...
How are you an admirer of Kool G Rap, AZ and Tragedy yet Nas is not of your list. Matter of fact how is Nas not on the list at all
Ransom and Jadakiss, top 15?
L and Pun making the top 10, dude lists looking like a eurocac on YouTube...
No Biggie? Pac outside of the top 15?
MC Ren on a top 25 rappers of All-Time list?
If you're gonna have a De La Soul member it has to be Posdnuous
I'm going to go ahead and assume this is a list of his favorite rappers or who he listens to most and not an objective top 25 rappers of All-Time list
What's your list?
ISO
Pass me the rock nikka
Only thing I give AZ is multis and it's not by a lot, Nas has proven he can do those at the highest of levels. Thats really AZ's style he rarely switches up.
Top 25? That's way too hard, in my opinion Nas is the greatest rapper of All-Time he has that number one spot on lock. I can probably give you a list of my 25 favorite rappers, but an objective All-Time list is tough.
It is tough, very tough...
I can understand not putting Shaggy 2 Dope on there but NO VIOLENT J???
what a wack list.
Jada over Pac 
I think to say this is a "cac" list is kind of stupid though when he has the bolded on here.....
1. Kool G. Rap
2. Big Pun
3. Jay-Z
4. Rakim Allah
5. Tragedy Khadafi
6. Prodigy
7. Big L
8. AZ
9. KRS-One
10. Big Daddy Kane
11. Jadakiss
12. Scarface
14. Ransom
15. Ice Cube
16. Pac
17. Brother J (X-Clan)
18. K-Solo

21. Trugoy the Dove aka Plug 2 (De La Soul)
22. Beanie Sigel
23. Grand Puba
24. Lord Finesse
25. MC Ren
I don't see the need to insult someone just case their list is a little different. Also I noticed anyway 13 is missing, maybe that was Nas or Big. Seems like Vinnie knows his Hip Hop to me, I've seen lists 1000 times worse than this. Infact when I made the top 20 thread there was many worse than this list.

Any list without Nas being in the top 3 is null and void

1. Rakim: Why, his first two albums were unreal and the opening of Follow the
Leader is a work of art.
2. Nas: When he’s on, he’s as good as I’ve ever heard. “I Gave You Power’ is
a personal favorite.

had a real conscience.
