there will always be a dispute over these.. i can live with it... they all had peak moments in their careers, so im not mad at it... at the end of the day, its still someone's opinion, however, my man Kool G Rap should be higher... closer to the Top 10... like.. 11... lol

I think its interesting....
I dunno how I feel about it as I look it over more, that top 10 is definitely somethin else..Good for debate though. Just not sure if I would have Jay in the top 5 as far as lyricists go.
The more I look at this list, it just reconfirms my notion of "fuck the source"

I respectfully disagree. I would like to know why you say that though, I'm truly interested.
I do think he's top 5. Refer to his verses on Hovi Baby,What More Can I say, and the verse from Most Kings belongs in an art museum somewhere.

,
my chariot's on fire
Everybody took shots, hit my body up, I'm tired
Build me up, break me down to build me up again
They like "Hov we need you back so we can kill your ass again"
Hov got flow though he's no Big and Pac, but he's close
How I'm 'posed to win? They got me fighting ghosts
How I'm 'posed to win? They got me fighting ghosts
Most kings get their heads cut off
With the same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
With the same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Shit, that's only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael

See Martin, see Malcolm
See Biggie, see Pac
See success and its outcome
See Biggie, see Pac
See success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas
See Caesar, see Brutus
See Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
When you succeed, prepare to be crucified
Media meddles,
niggas sue you, you settle
Every step you take, they remind you you ghetto
So it's tough being Bobby Brown
To be Bobby then, you gotta be Bobby now
To be Bobby then, you gotta be Bobby now
Now the question is, "Is to have had and lost
Better than not having at all?"
Better than not having at all?"
Because dawg
I agree with #1...the dude is dope and always was dope...
I think Em over Jay/Biggie/Pac.
You have 50.....at #50, and I think he should be ranked higher than that....especially over Lil Kim, who wrote very little of her own material.
Andre 3K should be #10...Lauryn Hill should not be top 10...but top 15 IMO.
Q-tip over Redman? Debatable...... Jadakiss under all of them? Retarded...
I'm never a fan of these lists, yet these things are like car wrecks...you just keep staring at them, no matter how tragic.
