My last is the same as yours except I had Jay Z instead of Rakim. I don't doubt that Rakim holds more weight in the game and has a more iconic status with the pure hip hop heads but I just haven't listened to enough of him to have him up there unfortunately.

Chino XL is so underrated. he's a lyrical beast.

Fair enough mate, Jay-Z just missed out on my top 5, i'd probably have him at number 6....

Fans have been waiting years for Rakim to drop his seventh seal album, that should be a legendary album hopefully...

2 PAc no doubt respect it u have he shits on the east coast

What, are your saying he would spread rumors about them like he did with Biggie? Because he sure couldn't have just come out and faced most of them like a man just bringing his skills to the table and nothing else.

Wtf? peoiple puttin LL on their list Obie and Eminem (I love them both too) but putin them over 2Pac? Mutha ****a come on.eminem is a better flower than pac, better lyricist, had just about the same impact in hip hop, if not, more controversial, and would imo kill pac in a battle. pac isn't overrated by any means, but eminem is just above him overall.

1) Rakim
2) Nas
3) Big Daddy Kane
4) Notorious B.I.G
5) Kool G Rap


5 could be Krs One too. I'm always switching those two up along with Biggie and Kane.

eminem Is A Better Flower Than Pac, Better Lyricist, Had Just About The Same Impact In Hip Hop, If Not, More Controversial, And Would Imo Kill Pac In A Battle. Pac Isn't Overrated By Any Means, But Eminem Is Just Above Him Overall.
U Said The Most Idiotic Thing I Believe I Have Heard Eminem Is A Great Mc But Not Nothing Like Pac Not Even Close.

I like a lot of the simple flows with emotion/character/inflection, so guys like Heavy D would get consideration too, though I would never bring them up in a GOAT discussion. I'd like to put Eminem and LL in my list, and probably on a different day they'd dump Marvin Young... This whole Mase/Puffy/Fabolous way of rapping that has led to emotionless drones chanting on songs doesn't do it for me...

Big Pun

This guy has good taste.

yeah thats one of the reasons i like jay-z. you can hear the changes in emotion depending what hes talk about. I'm not into diddy, mase or fab type flow either, kind of boring. Although Mase had a good flow at times...

eminem is a better flower than pac, better lyricist, had just about the same impact in hip hop, if not, more controversial, and would imo kill pac in a battle. pac isn't overrated by any means, but eminem is just above him overall.

the thing is that em's been swagga jackin a legend's flow his entire career (or atleast on his two best LPs). if you dont know who im talking about, leave the discussion.

all time (in order)

masta ace
rakim
nas

killah, game isn't one of your favorites?

lol, tbh i was goin off remembering what cds i had in my whip, then i seen my avy wen i posted an remembered game should be in there but my comp froze for like 10 minutes an i just got back to change it no lie :rofl:

*thinks of new thread idea*

i should have put game in my top 5 too....probably over mef. I like Mef, but right now I probably like Game better.

^yea, whenever somebody asks me my favorites i just think of what cds i got in my ride, cuz thats were i listen to music the most anyway.

eminem is a better flower than pac, better lyricist, had just about the same impact in hip hop, if not, more controversial, and would imo kill pac in a battle. pac isn't overrated by any means, but eminem is just above him overall.

Man, what the hell are you smoking?!! Em is nice but nothing like Pac. Pac was the best battle rapper ever, guess you havent heart "Aainst All Odds","Life Of An Outlaw" and the list goes on. Pac would have eaten Em alive in a battle.
1. 2pac (Icon,Revolutionary)
2. Big Poppa
