Rakim is the greatest to me because to this day no MC has been able to revolutionize the way MCs flow on the mic like he did. Its like he time traveled to from present day back to the mid 80s with his rhyme style. Until someone changes the game the way he did he's gonna stay atop my list

You don't think Pun could get at Rakim? Personally, I think Pun took everything that Rakim did and made it better. Metaphors, wordplay, storytelling...all that shit.

See, Pun could easily be top 3 on my list. Too bad he was Puerto Rican.

I used to tell people I was Puerto Rican from 2000 to 2004. Then it got old.

Its kinda like the Wu. They were groundbreaking back in the 90s but peaked and never evolved with anything new as far as sounds go. They are at the same level now as they were in the mid 90s...everyone has since surpassed them as far as skill goes

Everyone has suprassed them as far as skill?

You wanna rephrase that maybe?

As a group they stopped evolving but Ghost, Gza, Meth and Rae are still dope as hell.

I'm having a hard time remembering who knocked Luke out of #1. It might've been "Brenda's Got A Baby" by Pac.

agreed...it's not like they suddenly became less talented. they just kind of stick to their thing, which isn't all that bad. it has a longer lifespan than a punchline rapper like Redman, whose albums kind of got boring after the 3rd/4th one

I'd bump Missy Elliot and put in Fat Joe. Missy's too skinny now.

They are still dope. An argument can be made for Ghost, Meth and Rae to be in the top 15-25. Gza is no longer the best in the clan. He's been surpassed by those 3. They are still a top 3 group behind OutKast and the Roots imo. I'm just extremely disappointed that their sound stagnated.

Masta Killa might be better now. :shock:

Lil Wayne sparks controversy as he proclaims himself the "best rapper alive, since the best rapper retired." He was referring to Jay-Z, who had been called such for years before announcing his retirement from rap last year.

"Yes I am. I am the best rapper alive," Lil Wayne said. He said that belief was further solidified "when Jay (Z) called me and said I am," after he listened to The Carter.

It took Lil Wayne, aka Lil Weezy, only two weeks to complete the album, but he's always practicing his craft.

If we had a current rappers list Lil Wayne wouldn't sniff my top 10.

Friend: Yo you heard Ice Ts new album yet?
Me: Nah. I didn't even know he had a new album out
Friend: yea its called Vee Eye. Dope as hell!
Me: Whats it called? Vee Eye?
Friend: Yea. Ice T Vee Eye
Me: Dub a tape for me later
