ODB is a joke. I don't even think he takes himself seriously. If it's anyone from WU it's gotta be Method Man. I like everyone on the list. It was close between Snoop and Biggie. 50 cent seems like a thugged out version of Brittany Spears. Too much vanity, not enough flow.

I would have to say Chuck D - a voice like his is sorely missed currently

No LL? Ladies Love Cool James

[inkman]

What the hell are foxy brown and Nelly doing on the list?

[USMCBillsFan]

I personally like Dre.

 

Although, I can't believe there's no Ice Cube, LL, or Ice-T......

[taterhill]

Lil Kim? Lol....where are Chuck D? LL? Run DMC? Sugarhouse Gang? NWA? 2 Live Crew? Ice T? Ice Cube? you are showing your age CAP BOY

[USMCBillsFan]

I never really liked Biggie. He always sounded like he had a cheeseburger in his mouth....

 

And where in the hell is Vanilla Ice on this list...?

[inkman]

I think a little homage to NWA(I know ez & dre are there) but Ice Cube was the second best in the Quartet. MC Ren was better than Cube, EZ and Dre.

 

Speaking of Dre, he is a great producer and beat creator, not so good with the flow.

I agree about his flow, I just liked the way his recorded voice sounded. It was smooth like Snoop (another I like)

CHUCK D AND LL ARE GOOD WRITE-IN CANDIDATES, NOTHING TO STOP SOMEONE FROM PUTTING THEM IN THE OTHER (SPECIFY) VOTE AND THEN WRITE NAME IN POST. IRON MAIDEN SINGER GOT THE BRONZE IN METAL SINGER POLL THAT WAY. AS FOR THE OTHERS, THEY ARE BANDS NOT INDIVIDUALS -- THIS POLL APPLIES TO GREATEST RAP ARTIST (SINGULAR) ONLY.

[inkman]

To me the quinticental list goes something like this:

 

Jay-Z

NAS

Snoop

LL Cool J

Ice Cube

Ice-T

Biggie

Tupac

Chuck D

Kurtis Blow

Slick Rick

Ludacris

Eminem

Doug E Fresh

 

I know I'm forgetting a lot of Old School Stuff...

[mcjeff215]

Other. There are a few. I'm not a fan of rap in general, but there are a few folks that have left their mark... The Beasties and Run DMC come to mind.

ODB rocks, his album (don't remember the name) seriously is amazing. Meth is ok but the RZA is better than him.

I think their are 3 or 4 ground breaking song throughout rap's history and "G thang" has to be # 1 or 2. Snoop's mellow rhymes really opened up a whole new genre or rap. He wasn't just spitting on the mike, it was melodic and rhythmic.

Hey I like OBD, he's just a freak. RZA might be the best of the WU clan, but it wasn't ODB.

No Fresh Prince??

 

This list is trash.....
