50 Cent, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Souljah Boy, Hammer, Vanilla Ice, John Barnes and the Liverpool Cup Team etc are all rap but they are not proper Hip Hop!

Judging by the negative responses seems most people here are not into Hip Hop, what do you listen to then?

I THINK THE FLAKE ONE IS THE BEST WRAPPER.

of that list, 2pac

but rap is shit, has been since 96 (coincidence anyone?

)

only hip hop i'll listen to now is Fort minor (mike shinoda from linkin parks group) they're all really good.

also cant belive you missed out DMX and eminem

Eminem has some interesting concepts but he is not a patch on all on that list, sells lot of records though. He's a big artist, but as an MC not in top 10 not at all.

DMX? Top 50, but not top 10. He's loud, got energy, one of few rappers to describe being a manic depressive in his lyrics, but he just does not have the flow and delivery the rest on the list have, well not in my opinion!

i'm a big foxy brown fan myself. this girl has lived one hell of a life and hasn't been able to put out a cd for about 7 years now due to all kinds of mishaps and spells behind bars. but her best stuff is brilliant (amidst a lot of filler).

what no Chuck D from Public Enemy!!!!! He is without doubt the best

Post by **QuartzGooner** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 10:37 pm

I explained I coudl only list 10 MCs, th poll woudl not let me list more.

Chuck had a strong message, still makes good points, actually influenced a generation politically, but his style is not a dextrous as others so I did not list him.
He's probably in the top 3 of influential MCs.

Immortal Technique...not up there with these legends on the list. There's endless lesser known people I could have included but honestly hand on heart can you say he has the style of any of them ...I just can't see it?
There's Rass Kas and Posdnous and Xhibit and so many decent MCs, but those on the list got that extra star quality.

Foxy Brown..well I gotta be honest she's too lyrically simplistic for me, admire her battling deafness but she's a nutter, makes Naomie Campbell seem like a Girl Guide!
Best female MCs I knwo of are MC Lyte and Rah Digga...they would wipe the floor with her I feel.

Anybody remember this guy?

PaRappa the Rapper.

I don't hate rap music or anything, I just don't dig it really. From the limited ammount I've listened to I'd say Andre 3000 from Outkast ain't too bad. And as a film 8 Mile was watchable.

Andre and Big Boi got skills, so too the GZA, Redman, Busta Rhymes, Kardinall Offishal, Grandmaster Caz, Supernatural, (Mad) Skillz, Sadat X, Diamond D, Phonte, Beanie Siegel, and so many others.

It's one thing not to like rap, but to call it talentless is just ignorant.

I am not a heavy metal fan, but I know that those cats can really play guitar.

Dont forget N.W.A. Absolute quality - Dr dre, Eazy E, Ice cube, MC Ren - Class above the rest!!!

Post by **QuartzGooner** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 12:34 am

Cube could rhyme a bit yeah, but the rest of them? Not MCs of highest quality, solid but unspectacular types. I respect Easy's hustle as an executive producer and talent scout (he put Bone Thugs on). Dre of course a world class executive producer, but don't forget that others usually write his rhymes for him. The Arabian Prince was not bad...wonder what he's up to now?
Loved the D.O.C album too.

As for Arsenal players, was rumoured that Paul Davis was the big Hip Hop man in the squad.
I know Anelka knew a lot of the French rappers like the NTM blokes and Zoxea.
