[andgar923]

:lol @ Drake being anywhere near top 20

Nas
G Rap
KRS
Cube
Rakim

Cube and KRS can be switched by a handful of others tho. Those are rappers that had relatively chart success along with impact but more importantly SKILLS at an all time consistent level.

I'd have no argument with swapping KRS with 2Pac. I can even replace Cube with Kane.

Edited to add Rakim

[KobesFinger]

Lemme get an edit and take Drake out. I liked him then but don't **** with him now. Move Biggie back to top spot.

Biggie
Jay/Nas
Nas/Jay
Kanye

Still no definite 5th. My top 4 changes based on what I'm ****ing with at that moment in time

[Bigsmoke]

Nas
Pac
Jay
Big
Kendrick Lamar

[UK2K]

J Cole didn't make anyone's list?

:confusedshrug:

Artist and producer? And he legitimately knows how to play numerous instruments?

He's the real deal, and the messages in his songs are genuine.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

1. Nas (IMO, way better at storytelling with a solid rhyme than 2Pac). East coast beast coast
2. Big L (#1 if more material existed)
3. Cassidy (freestyle)
4. Mos Def (one of the most unique NYC MCs in the late 90s/00s)
5. Biggie (mostly due to beats and rhyme, lyrically overrated)

What Big special was his rhyming/flow/ wordplay... specially his wordplay. The way he connected lines with some of his words was witty and funny.

Big L developed. I don't know if he had the ability to crossover tho.

I think Big L would have eventually become more commercialized or he would have had the same success as Nas. Maybe not as much money but large name recognition. Nas has said on file that Big L had ridiculous talent and it used to scare him that he had to compete with him. Jay Z always had respect for him and he nearly signed him (got killed before he could).

Kendrick is about a million times better than ab soul. Jay Rock is the only other guy in his clique that is any good.

Ma$e destroyed Big L in every session they had together. People hate on Mase cuz he sold 4 mill but back when he was Mase Murda he was technically the most skilled rapper on the planet from 1994-1997.

....I liked 94-97 Mase a ton. A lot of the up and coming late 90s Harlem rappers had a ton of talent. They still produce great "street" rappers. Heck I didn't even mind him in the early 2000s although his style changed.

But no to the bolded.
