Who is on your Mount 'RAP'-More.??? WHO ARE THE TOP FOUR RAPPERS??

If you could build your own Mount Rushmore of Rap, who would you put on it? Top four Rappers of all time--

1. Tupac >>> He was a poet, who made rapping meaningful, and life changing
2. Rakim >>> He changed everything about the rap world period.
3. Biggie >>> His flow was incredible, and his impact was impeccable
4. Easy-E >>> His M.C skills revolutionized the Rap Industry

I went with most influential for my top 4... I could have gone with most popular, but then I would have had to put up Eminem, seeing as though behind Tupac, he has sold the most rap albums ever. I elected to keep him off, even though he is great-- hes just not good enough to share a mountain with any of those four.

Honorable mentions-- KRS- One, Nas, and Jay-Z in his prime.

P.S I don't see anything wrong with the movie Notorious, I thought it was an enjoyable tribute to B.I.G. It might not have been a cinematic masterpiece, or one hundred percent accurate, but it made a *beep* appreciate everything he has done for the Hip-Hop industry.

----4.Easy-E >>> His M.C skills revolutionized the Rap Industry----

Eazy was not a great MC, he never wrote a rhyme in his life, Ice Cube used to write all his stuff in N.W.A ("Ice Cube writes the rhymes...that I say!" Eazy-E 8Ball)...Don't get me all wrong now I love Eazy & to have him as one of your fav's Is Cool & he deserves legendary status simply for putting N.W.A in the game & Introducing the world to Cube & Dre...but to say his "SKILLS" as an MC revolutionized the Industry...Let's have it right!!!

Anyways...my top 4
1.BIG PUN- For me the greatest & most underrated lyricist ever, Flow,Delivery,Lyrical speed,Punchlines & Charisma...Could of gone on to be bigger than B.I.G had he lived
2.BIG L- Another Highly underrated MC & the king of the freestyles, Big L's punchlines were incredible!!! Was due to be signed by Jay-Z to Roc-A-Fella had he lived & would've been huge!!!
3.EMINEM-Good enough to have Dr.Dre as his Mentor & be @ one point the best rapper In the world!!!
4.MYSTIKAL- I know I'll get criticized for this one as people say "he just shouts" but for me he's the most talanted from the South...his early No-Limit stuff pre-Shake Ya Ass Is Amazing!!!

OK so I am impressed with everyone's lists...

Just to recap a little:

Mount RAP-More can only have 4 members- not 5. If you want to give a shout out, list them as an honorable mention. Don't look ignorant.

Second: Who the Hell is going to put Will Smith on this list? I saw a few people mention him, I really hope that was a joke. Lil Wayne? Come on people, we aren't talking about pop, mainstream Hip-Hop. I guess to each his own, but for real? Plus Lloyd Banks??? Wow!

I gotta give a shout out to a few ballsy choices-- Outkast? not bad, Jadakiss? Talib Kwali? Those guys are great, I wouldn't put them near the top, but at least they are respectable.

oh im sorry khadafi & spice 1 aint ballsy?

[–] gdizzle 16 years ago
