I'm predicting everybody here will hate this list.lol...I have to admit I don't think its perfect either, just an opinion. We all have our own opinions...

Jay-Z at number 1?!?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAA!

Jay-Z shouldnt even be in the top ten, when you've got:Slick Rick, Chuck D.,Ice Cube, LL Cool J, Scarface......LMAO.

This list, IMO:

5.Jay-Z
4.B.I.G.
3.2pac
2.Nas
1.Rakim

[QUOTE=GodzHand;1964673]Jay-Z at number 1?!?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAA!

That's funny...I agree!!!

They'd probably all be in my top 5, but different order.

Mine goes:
5) Nas
4) Jay Z
3) Biggie
2) Rakim
1) Tupac

Everybody thinks differently, perfect example of that. I personally don't think hes #1 even though I consider him my #1 favorite MC of all time. I do think Hov is top 5 though. You just don't like his music too much, I can tell by your past posts.:D Its all good though, different tastes for different rap fans.

Absolutely brilliant post. I think people need to remember this more often.

I have all of Jay-Z's cd's aside from Streets Is Watching soundtrack and Kingdom Come.

Cool...I just can't see how hes not even top 10 in your opinion. But thats your opinion, so its all good.

Cool...I just can't see how hes not even top 10.

Cool...I just can't see how hes not even top 10 in your opinion. But thats your opinion, so its all good.

Rakim
Nas
Kool G Rap
Scarface
LL Cool J
KRS-ONE
Chuck D
Slick Rick
2pac
B.I.G.

Ten MC's that I believe are better than Jay-Z. Top 20? Definently he'd make it.

i used to like slick rick back in the early 90s. i forgot what cd it was though

personally, no one in hip hop raps better than eminem. he's number one imo and bring on the hate if you want to. he'd mostly outrap most of your favorite mcs and i'm willing to put a million on hi every time. my list goes

1-eminem
2-tupac
3-rakim
4-big l- hey, what can i say, he was a monster
5-this is a toss up between biggie, nas, and jay-z
6-krs-one

1. Rakim
2. Nas
3. Kool G Rap
4. Biggie
5. Jay-Z

eminem hasnt dropped anything classic since the slim shady LP so he shouldn't even be in this discussion

"ass like that" is enough evidence to leave him out of the top 20

The Marshall Mathers LP was legit. Everything after that was average other than his guest appearences and D-12.

My top 5 always varies but I would always have Jay and Nas in it.

5. scarface
4. chuck d
3. big daddy kane
2. Krs-one
1. Rakim

5. scarface
4. chuck d

almost forgot about BDK.

IMO...jay should be in top 10.. whether his in top 5 that would be a long shot but..

no 1.... NEVER!!!!

5.Scarface/ KRS One/ Eminem
4.Nas
3.Pac
2.BIG
1.Rakim

1)Rakim
2)Nas
3)Krs-One
4)Kool G rap
5)Notorious B.I.G
6)Big Daddy Kane
7)Chuck Dee
8)Big Pun
9)Black Thought
10) Method man (i know unexpected)

Never been into 2pac but i respect him as a rapper.

lol Royce da 5'9" would eat up Eminem in a battle so he's not even the baddest in Detroit.
Jay i guess is in my top 20 somewhere

gza > jay-z

gza > jay-z

no, that allhiphop.com link was not mine, that's a thread that the whole ahh community came up with, apparently.

I'm a fan of Jay-Z, as well, but Gza is superior. On a related note, how funny is it that Jay-Z always calls himself 'the greatest rapper alive'? Why is that funny to me? Because he always has to say it, because most everyone disagrees. I'm not hating, I've just heard better.

its funny because rakim isnt dead.... i cant wait for the 7th seal.

I'm really hoping he was serious about working with Timbaland AND The Neptunes.

Lyrically the Seventh Seal will be crazy.
Flow-wise, it'll be a self-ownage CD.
I don't think Ra can use today's flow with his lyrics.
If he could flow like Jay-Z, I'd give him head.

If he flowed like Jay-Z, I wouldnt give a damn. :luvbed:

Well, I don't mean flow exactly like Jay Z. I just mean, if he had a modernized flow combined with his lyrical abilities. You mean to tell me you wouldn't give him a blowjob?

Your wish is my command. Here is Rakim with a more modern flow on a single released not too long ago produced by Dr Dre

Good stuff.
He showed pretty good flow.
If he would've attacked that beat more aggressively, it would've been better, but that's not Ra's style so I gotta respect that.

Jay z shouldnt be in the top 10 not alone number 1. But thats my opinion. To me he bites way too many of big and other rappers rhymes and he hasnt done anything too drastic in hiphop. He hasnt been good since his fallen for that destiny childs b##ch.

1) L. Ron Makaveli (started to open up a portal in the time-space continium)

2) Notorious BIG (definition of an MC; MASTER)

3) Rakim (The Lord)

4) Eminem (ante'd Jay-Z on The Blueprint)

5) Nas (allegedly defeated Jay-Z in battle)
