JAY-Z!!!!
a spot well deserved!

R.O.C 4 lyfe!

 

[hiphophooray123]

wheres big l? oh yeah i forgot, he didnt have a big enough fanbase for MTV to even consider him for the top 10....fuck MTV.

 

[redruM]

LOL.

On the list for the top 10 albums of all time: Originally, two Biggie albums, Ready to Die and Life After Death, made the list, but no Tupac Shakur albums did. The majority decided that this shouldn't stand, and one of the Biggie albums would have to go to make room for a Pac LP ...
hahaha

 

[hiphophooray123]

stupid 2pac.

 

[illmatic]

speakin of Jay-Z, im listenin to Reasonable Doubt atm and im lovin these 2 lines

About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced

:mad1: Damn, I still dont get these lines

 

[hiphophooray123]

what's to get about them? the first one is easy to understand (started to make sense/shit started to make cents (he is feeding her money...her shit makes cents) get it?

second one, that little kid rhyme about three blind mice...mice...cheese (money)...'ya'll' ain't gettin money coz they like 'blind mice'

the first i thought they'd be a more complex meaning.. i get it as far as the cents shitting

i aint never heard the kid rhyme about three blind mice

 

[PiGMAN]

so eminem and tupac are on this list WHY?

oh yeah, its mtv. sorry

 

[xblizzard]

They're dreaming.. Where is Talib Kweli, K Otix, Deltron 3000 and DL Incognito?

 

[hiphophooray123]

kweli is NOT top 10 of ALL TIME, great rapper imo but not top 10 of all time c'mon man....deltron would be up there, maybe top 30 but not top 10...K Otix and DL wouldn't come close to top 10 of all time imo either...

i really diagree with pac being higher than biggie, LL, ice cube and nas.

 

[redruM]

Yeah, Talib aint top 10 material. Haven't heard of the others...


I see why Jay-Z is numero uno. Apart from having Reasonable Doubt on repeat today, I heard the 7 minute freestyle with Big L. Its insane.

 

[Casmira]

I always like Jay-Z's stuff. I got a heap of his freestyle tracks (like S dots) and its great

 

[xblizzard]

No Run, no Plug 1, no Ad Rock. That list has no cred. There are some decent MCs in there but they are not all top 10...

 

[hiphophooray123]

i do agree with you blizzard, plug 1 would def be high up on anyones list though...but its MTV, no one will take their lists seriously.
