So ya, the lists are nothing but an ego boost and something that the emcees can write about. Oh, and ratings of course.

also nas beat jay-z

I feel this way; whenever you talk about the cream of the crop and this elite group, you can't go wrong arguing for any of them.



yep

cuz KRS never paid none of these cocksuckers to play his songs on the air.

I watched the Top 25 Hip-Hop Artists on VH1 last week which was hosted by Diddy and it went something like this.



6. Eminem
5. Biggie
4. Jay-Z
3. Tupac
2. Public Enemy
1. Run DMC

I believe it was like that.

AHAHAAH STOP SAYIN THAT!!

dig deep enough you see all rappers are frauds but the 80's guys before rap was something that could generate money to Billion dollar company like GE owns 70% of ALL record labels, cuz NO ONE now, and I mean NO ONE now is real. You're an investment now, there's millions behind you. Name a Legend, I can name their ghost REAL easy. All their work is ghost written with an extreme small percent of tracks. they're not a rapper now, they're a money making franchize. A clothing line, a cologne line, sports team, business owner/manager, achohol bottler, etc etc pictures, tours, performances, TV shows, clubs, lawsuits, videos, AAAAAAHHHH

They got no time to write jack shit. Who here can write stressed out being pulled in mad different directions and still try to juggle a family life, how could you be in the zone to write?

Professional writers are hired to sculpt number 1 tracks and have been since the 80's.

lol @ "greatest" emcee's of all time.....

Everyones always going to have their own lists, and I still can't believe Jay has haters, but whatever... And omfg if 50 was around for 100 years,, droppin 2 albums a year, he still would not be in the top 100 "greatest" emcees ever. Unless you're talking sales, but no one ever is but sound scan....
