i quite like those rappers.

u cant really say that the list is messed up just cause u dont agree with it. am sure that these are based on many things such as sales , votes..and god knows what.

its a good list i must say..and no surprise there that pac is on the very top .

Come on look at this :

07. Dre Dre ( Rarely an MC He got Other People Writting his Lyrics , though he's The G.O.A.T OF all Hip Hop Producers)
*tHE List is MC'S not Producers*

08. Lil kim (Lyrically she's average , there are atleast 5 other Female Mc's Who had made an Impact on Hip Hop more than Lil Kim.................e.g Rah Digga , Salt n Peppa , Lady Of Rage , Left Eye . Roxenne, Shante )

09. Beastie Boys ( I must admit i was harsh not accepting them on the list , they Paved the way for White MC'S )

10. Missy Elliot (I never see Missy as an MC , more like a POP/R&B/with a Twist of Hip Hop , u cant expect to be in a list with Lyrics pa-rum pa-pum pum
Give ya some some some of this Cinnabon<<<<< WTF !!!

12. Nelly (Out of all the People i mentioned , NELLY has to be the Worst !!!! )

18. Foxy Brown ( Not Enough Quantity and Material of Albums To be Placed in such a List , She's Still Young 22 or 23)

A man who knows his MC's. I couldn't agree with you more on everything :eyes: ....

There's a whole art to being a good MC, and who knows what their basing it on. For example, Eve, MC Lyte, Sole, ....are better MC's in my opinion than Missy or Lil Kim. Dont get me wrong I like Missy and Lil Kim, but usually MC's are judged on their intellectually stimulating lyrics and I stress INTELLECTUALLY!!

ANd yea,....wtfreak is nelly doin in there :confused:

OK, sorry, I suppose their using other standards for this list..all in all a good list.

Its Good that u Mentioned Sole and Mc Lyte:...
Check out Sole's Song with Tamar Braxton called "Let Him Go"
The Last I heard of Lyte , she is in the Process of A new LP Called Da Underground Heat <<< I am going to Pre-Order it ...i cant wait

Yea, I wanna get it too!! and ill check out that song,

I was glad to see Common on there, but who I would like to see on the list:

Black Thought from "The Roots"
Q-Tip from "A Tribe Called Quest"
Prodigy from "Mobb Deep"
Havoc from "Mobb Deep"
Anyone from the WU

interesting...

BlackThought :He's a Lyrical Genius , what do u expect its MTV !! How can u have a song like "Super Lyrical" with Pun and not even get mentioned in the top 20 !!!!..His Latest song with Musiq is Hot !!! Dorella , Have u ever seen The Roots Play Live <<<<< A MUST SEE

Q-Tip: Not Top 22 , But Possibly top 50 , His Album Amplified was Nice , His Days with the Tribe are unmatched ...I really Enjoy these two songs "BREATHE AND STOP" and "Vivarant Things" <<< The remix is Good to .

Prodigy and Havoc :Though P , fell off These last couple of years in terms of Lyrical Content , H.N.I.C is a must Have...I always saw him as the MC and Havoc as the Producer (Not taking anything from him , cause he's Tight to)... Albums like Infamy , Infamous , Songs Like "Shook Ones" part 1 and 2 "Burn" and "LA LA" are enough to PLace them in the top 22 , But its Hard to Choose between them

Wu Tang :Good to see Method in the List , But where are the rest ??!!! Deck , Ghostface , GZA , ODB , RZA Rae , Masta ,U-God .....ALL DESERVE TO BE IN THE LIST ..Out of them All i would've liked to see Deck in the list ......<<<<< BUT HEY ITS MTV
:D
