Eh,the list isnt too bad. But the order is garbage.

this is old news dum ass i made a thread on this

Dats koo. Im proud of you ... Didnt see it

lolz wow...ice cube before eminem..i hope they mean ice cube back in the day

lmfao even then.. Eminem is still way better then ice cube....

but this list is fucken garbage...

its MTV what were you kids expecting? A underground emcee's point of view?

...like Jay-Z is whack beyond belief...

and he go number 1.... i think thast only because hes always in the spot light.. as the others are in and out.. if not they're over with... and Tupac and Biggie are defiently not the best rappers... in my opinion they are way over rated.. i got more love for pac then biggie tho.. cuz pac was real.. but they both were simplistic.. and biggie had no deep songs.. they were just whack gangster shit lol.... anyways :) cool

This was shown like in March here.. oldness.

Yeah...This is the worst top ten i have ever seen right here>.<

Does anyone else see the irony in calling someone a "dum ass"?

List is garbage.
Maybe 3 or 4 can stay on there.

yea the order of it all is fucked .... i didnt agree with this when it first came out.... so i don't agree with it now..lol order is way garbage..

I think it's ight. I think Jay should be at number 1...because he is just...tha best! and Cube should've been higher up..Like 5 or something

man Jay Number ONE?!?!?! nah man....KRS, Rakim , Nas> Jay

Any one of them could have easily taken that first spot ..but why jay?

jay is way overrated

i think DMX should've been somwhere in that list, but the list is whack anyways so i couldn't careless

co-sign.
but honestly tho, how did Jay beat out pac? and how did pac beat out big? im not even a pac fan, but errbody says pac is better than jay.

big daddy kane made it but big L didnt?

Think, Rob...Big L was how popular on MTV? :)

big daddy kane was sick, owned the old school, Big L was sick dont get me wrong, but he dropped like what, 2 albums and a couple mixtapes before he died... this is the greatest rappers of all time, you gotta show more longevity then that (even he didnt really have a chance too, RIP Big L...)

and Jay at #1 = wack as fuck, hes been mediocore since reasonable doubt... not to mention how much hes corrupted hip hop IMO...

oh yetah, good point.
u right too gopha... big L had ONE cd... i think he was maybe TOO good to go mainstream. dude was nice. he died to early. fuckin got shot over a playstation.

KRS one is boring to listen to and he gets mad if u dont listen his shit...wak ass nelly destroyed his old ass....ras kass is way better...I alway compare them two for some wierd reason....eminem should be damn near close to number one....I like rakim and nas position on the list....jay aint number one to me...him and pac should switch wit biggie on # 6 and Em on #3...

My list

10. LL Cool J
09.Biggie
07.canibus
06.nas
05.Big L
04. Busta Rhymes
03. Jay Z
02.Big Pun...wat about him u bitch ass MTV... they played his over and over like crazy.
01. 2pac

He didn't need longevity though. And if he did, imagine what 7 years of further elevating his skill would be like.

thats mtv for u they dont kno s**t about hip hop and how did ll cool j even make the top 10 come on now

u may not like LL now but he was sick back then when niggaz like him was needed to progress the state of hip hop...he spit some hot shit like a track I heard called...I shot ya..feat a bunch of mu fuckas and i think it was directed to pac...but w/e it was sick..believe me dawg...

LL Cool J is the fucking man.

Yes, the order is pathetic.. I am quiet willing to bet that Jay Z paid his way to the top...


Tupac burns jay z's soul, so does biggie, so does nas, so does rakim, so does eminem, so does KRS, so does a load of other rappers who didnt even make the list..

Jay Z is an industry slut... A lot of the rappers on that list wouldnt even do a track with the guy let alone be under him...

The fuck is that...

damn....dats a hateraid overdose...lol

Seeing as all MTV plays is rap 24/7/365, then you'd think they would know a thing or two about rap.

*looks at #1*

Oh yeah, but a white guy owns it.

rap 24/7?? more liek 8000 fucking retarded dating shows 23.9/7 and then theyll squeeze in there some bull shit hip pop music videos

yeah, this really isnt that bad of a list, especially for MTV...



okay, here's the deal... this was for the Greatest RAPPERS of all time, not the greatest lyricists of all time... and i firmly believe that Jay-Z IS the best RAPPER that's done it when you take everything into consideration: lyrics, overall song quality, sales, business, star-qualities... all part of being a RAPPER... its not just about who can write the best metas, lol...

Tupac burns Jay z's soul...

Man seriously.. I dont get how cats actually think pac shouldnt be number 1 on that list... Nobody I have ever heard has been able to even come close to that dudes level... And yes, I mean lyrical level...

Not even biggie comes close to pac's skill level...

yeah, i mean i could see Pac being up there... or Biggie, i was really just arguing against saying that somebody like KRS, as sick as he is, should be named the best RAPPER of all time...

Nah.. Pac is better than KRS and biggie put together.....

And I dont say that lightly cause I got loads of respect for both of them.

as a rapper, Pac definitely > KRS...

the thing is though, when people think of Biggie and Jay both, they automatically think of like 2 songs... for example Big Poppa for Biggie and Big Pimpin for Jay...

if you look at EVERYTHING they've all come out with, Pac doesnt beat out either one of them by that much, but the difference is Pac didnt sugar up any of his mainstream shit, so he didnt lose that reputation...

Pac is by far the greatest rapper of all time...

You listen to his lyrics, shit is classic and perfectly worded on all tracks..

I've heard complete trash from jay z before, and even his best songs dont match up to anything pac has ever made, jay z is an inferior rapper, a lot of the old greats wouldnt even do a track with the guy cause hes just an industry cocksucker that fell into his spot only because everyone else died..... Biggie has some ill as fuck tracks.. But he still wasnt at that level.... You listen to his lyrics, you can feel what hes saying, but he doesent put his heart into it even nearly as much as pac did...

I aint brownnosing cause that aint my style... But I've learnt a lot from pac... And to this date, I have never heard a rapper with half that guys skill...

Honestly that shit is weak..your right the people in there are right more or less but that order is weak as fuck, there is no way Jay Z is the best rapper period...Pac is better, BIG is better fo'real and I wouldnt have Eminem in there...

dat list is retarted
no way jay-z is even close to pac and eminem,and nas

the list should be more like this:
5.Notorious BIG
4.Big Pun
3.Eminem
2.Tupac
1.Big L

if u listened to all their shit, u shoudlnt disagree
eminem can actually be # 2

where is Royce da 5'9 on there.....he better then all of them
