I like Ghostface and GZA but they wouldn't make my top 25. When you make a list of 25 you are going to make omissions of GREAT MC's, cause there are many great MC's.
Chuck D, true, he could be higher, it was kind of a rough list, I'd have to spend many hours thinking and formulating orders, it's not easy at all;
I have ties to pretty much everywhere, but it doesn't effect my lists at all. You'd be surprised how highly Z-Ro is rated, nowadays he's been on that singin vibe but before he was dropping cold rhymes and deeply emotional content. He historically has a very solid discography, a lot of people say he's the closest thing to Pac in certain relams, I like Z-Ro a lot, very relatable music and has some of my favourite songs. Would have had him higher but the recent singing shyt hasn't been advancing him as much.
What's your list? I don't mind people commenting on my list though, infact I encourage it, but I would like people to drop theirs. Cause the main reason I wrote it was to show people how hard it is and that nobody will agree, so we shouldn't be so harsh on people's lists on or off here as long as nobody straight up wack and garbage is on it.
I see omissions myself in my list that I'd have to analyse and deliberate over, Melle Mel, Prodigy, LL Cool J, Big L, Talib Kweli and many more, any of them could easily have been there It's extremely hard cause you are making judgments upon body of works where the material isn't equal, some people have different amounts of albums so it isn't a like for like judgement, so you have to judge upon the MC's contribution (if it's a group) to the group projects or the quality of what they have done. Some people such as Biggie have limited material but at such HIGH quality have to include him over some people who have many albums because his work was that dope. How do you judge an artist like Melle Mel? Elite MC, a true great and a legend, but not really many albums, obviously has his contribution to the group albums, then he had Muscles which was much later in the game. How do you judge Grandmaster Caz?. There's too many great for there ever to be an accurate list or a list everybody agrees with, I think we just have to be like is it a knowledgeable list or not? I would say mine is even if you disagree with some of the choices as or think there's omissions. I think most people wouldn't agree with eachothers either with the choices or the order.
wow you're lame
is if some really wack rapper is on it. And sometimes no KRS would ring some alarm bells to me, but by and large I don't really have an issue unless wack MC's are on it. You should check some of the lists people have done on here lol, not only no Nas or Big but people like Drake on their list lol. Ask
