This is an OK list. Eminem should not be there - Replace him with KRS-One and then i'll be happy. Also IMO the rankings are bad in my opinion, but those on the list im pretty content with.

Drop your thoughts

get out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[corro]

dont agree with the order of the list and eminem is no where near being a GOAT

 

[hiphophorray123]

yeah and N.W.A isnt an artist its a collective, it should be ice cube instead of N.W.A

same with wu tang they are a collective not an artist. Rae or ghost should be there instead.

also agree with illmatic that KRS should be on there

 

[Cityboy]

This list is crap, it has Eminem but not Dre

dre's mostly a producer man he doesnt write his own raps

 

[Cityboy]

He used to rap

 

[corro]

what he did wasn't enough to make him a GOAT

 

[Adrian.]

He used to rap

But he has never written his own rhymes. Ice Cube and MC Ren wrote all the rhymes for Dr. Dre and Eazy E on SOOC. When Cube left NWA The D.O.C. started writting Dre and Eazy's rhymes. He's has numerous ghost writers since then. As a side note Dr. Dre didn't even write his own tribute song to his brother ("The Message"), it was written by Royce Da 5'9".

They've also got Run-D.M.C., ATCQ, PE so I guess it's artists/groups. I agree about KRS but GZA is the best MC in the Wu-Tang Clan. Also Nas should be higher than Jay-Z.

-Edit- Also 2pac shouldn't be on the list and Eminem is just a joke.

1) Boogie Down Productions
2) Eric B. & Rakim
3) Nas
4) Notorious B.I.G.
5) Ice Cube
6) Wu-Tang Clan
7) Public Enemy
8) Run-D.M.C.
9) A Tribe Called Quest
10) Jay-Z

Just a quick list using theres as a base.
