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.

"Y'all all suffer the consequences
I dispense dope sentences without a prescription
prefixes asphyxiate bitches, who flips linguistics?
Representin' the West, relevant to relentless sentences
If renegade rebels resent this wicked syntax
Revert to revolution. Ras reverse, reverberates
Revolvin' with written retaliation, rate is repetitious
Reflex flex, regret *beep* regress to less, then recoup
When recording, I wreck records"

3 Tupac
4 Nas

Undeniable. Yes, in that order.

you know you stole this idea from Bill Simmons right? he's a writer for espn.com and espn magazine. He came up with mount rapmore years ago.

Biggie - MeaN EMCee!..
2Pac - Poetic Emcee!
EmineM - SeriaL Killer Emcee

and the 4th face would be a giant "W" collage of the Whole WU-TanG Clan! For they are the RAWEST of the RAW type EMceeS..
I'm talkin' the Rza, GZa, ODB, Inspekta Deck, Raekwon the Chef, MAsta Killa, U-God, Ghostface Killah and the M-E-T-H-O-D MAN!..

PS..it was even on the Eazy E life story, that ICE CUBE wrote the song "Boyz in the Hood" which was Eazy-E's first Rap...so, Eazy's style didn't revolutionize...(though i Love EAzy E) Ice Cube was the True MC of NWA (and dre too of course)...

[–] DrProfessor 16 years ago

I am saying the message ended when it went commercial. For sure the underground scene is keeps the soul and heartbeat. When uncle Tom's like Souljaboy are forced out, then maybe we got something again.

[–] TomahawkChops 16 years ago

Eminem is the only "good" rapper out right now. All of these other guys are posers with braided hair like women. and soun like squeaky little girls. Eminem is the rap bully and not many rappers could beat him in a real street fight one on one without 20 of their "cousins" . Eminem is the only worthy rapper. RESPECT

Bottoms Up and The Hottie and the Nottie are the best films EVER!

[–] duff_man4 16 years ago

My top four would have to be...

1.Tupac
2.Immortal Technique
3.KRSOne
4.Tie between N.W.A and Run-D.M.C.

"Thats my 2 cents"

[–] joeballsy 16 years ago

1. Eminem ( words cant explain his talent)

2. Biggie ( flow so good)

3. Pac ( Thug Life baby maybe the least skilled in my four but definately done so much for rap and Hip Hop)

4. Ice Cube ( legend )

Special Mentions: Eazy E, Immortal Technique, Dre (producing skills), A tribe called quest, Nate Dogg

and for people dissing lloyd banks he aint never going to be on mount rapmore but damn can he freestyle

The name Lil Wayne keeps coming up and he aint *beep* so so commercial only good songs is when hes loaded or high.
