Actually Bone Thugs' Crossroads was #33 on the list, while KRS with BDP was #49 and Rakim was #24. But as we all know, lists don't mean shit. But it's funny how in one breath people on here be shitting on lists, which ironically was the point of this thread, but in the next breath be using a list to support their point. Just an observation.

Militant said:

You must've started listening to RAP back in the late 90s, eh?

Bizzy is weaksauce. Period. His style is wack. His delivery is wack. His content is wack. HE'S wack. The ONLY people that like Bizzy are from Cleveland . Notice their style was PURE GIMMICK and they're basically done now. Ask Das EFX about GIMMICKY DELIVERIES .

Militant said:

Bizzy, is that you?

And why do people try and use GRAMMYS as a measuring stick?

And your last paragraph speaks volumes about you truly have no idea to what you're speaking on. To sit here and try and tell us that ONLY hip hop headz know Rakim and KRS is pure ridiculousness. Unbelievable.

Bizzy Bone wouldn't even make the top 100 Greatest Rappers list...Unless it's done by people that live in Cleveland.

SCNDLS said:

The Rubber Band Man!

MuthaFunka said:

Okay, I didn't like him THEN, I got into him AFTER that bullshit.

SCNDLS said:

If you got into him AFTER that bullshit, souldn't you STILL not bein INTO him since his bullshit is STILL CURRENT?

MuthaFunka said:

Bizzy is not the best solo rapper though. His albums have fallen on high expectations and bad production. Songs like Frieday, When Thugs Cry and Father stand out but dont support his work with BONE

MuthaFunka said:

Please. You clearly don't know jackshit about hip-hop if you think BTNH style was a gimmick. Bizzy is wack? LOL. The fuck outta here. I'm not from Cleveland, by the way, and i know a HELL of a lot of people that aren't from Cleveland and that dig Bizzy.

Basically done? Bone's last album sold pretty damn well from what I remember. And now that Flesh N Bone is outta jail, they're gonna cook us some more fire.

MuthaFunka said:

I wasn't using Grammy's as a measuring stick. That was just one remark in response to someone saying The 18th Letter had some kind of influence on Bizzy despite his own style already been established and developed when that album had dropped.

It's not ridiculous to say only hip-hop heads know about Ra and Kris. I have a ton of friends that are mostly into other genres of music that would have never heard of them because the only hip-hop they hear is commercial stuff.

MuthaFunka said:

man those first two albums were the heat..I dont care if Biggie wrote the first one that was FIRE...
Beretta inside of baretta nobody do it bet
I wet ya like a hurricane or typhoon
Got niggas eatin my pussy while I watch cartoons


The second album also with cuts like Suck My Dick, Aunt Dot (which was probably her best lyrical and songwriting work to date) she couldnt do no wrong.

Militant said:

Hey, don't get all pissy at me just because his ass is WACK AS FUCK! They're a gimmick rap group that ain't shit. Simple as that. Bizzy included. And yeah, you keep holdin' on that they're gonna make a comeback . You sound like those disillusioned Hammer fans that STILL say "Hammer gon' be back! Watch!"

paisleypark4 said:

Kim is ALL "pussy, lips & sex" and nothing else.

MuthaFunka said:

LOL now you're comparing Bone to Hammer? Shows how much you know. Now THATS a fuckin joke.

Militant said:


And again, you used a Grammy to prove a point, and it's ridiculous to do so.

And you're basing all of this off YOUR TINY GROUP OF FRIENDS ? Yeah, that's a sufficient sample group then!

MuthaFunka said:

Well in MY opinion his lyrics improved after that so I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he did what he needed to get in the game. Anyways, aren't we supposed to be letting the bracketing speak for itself as far as determining the greatest rapper alive. Or are you taking it upon yourself to shit on everyone's choices that you don't like?

Militant said:

Hey, Hammer has more Grammies than Bone - Remember, it's all about the Grammies, right?

Real shit though - I'd go see wack ass Hammer BEFORE I'd EVER see WACK ASS BONE!

See you at the crossroads!

SCNDLS said:

Hey, your opinion is all that matters. I'm just voicing MY opinion, that's all. And it's a message board, we're supposed to have viewpoints and opinions on other people's viewpoints and opinions. That's how it works. TI is weak to ME. He's TIGHT to others. It is what it is. So, if I shit on other's choices, it's because I can. I shit, therefore I am.

MuthaFunka said:

Then I guess I misunderstood the purpose of THIS thread which I thought was to crown the greatest rapper alive through a process of elimination not debate to death over who you think is wack. Well, have at it then.

SCNDLS said:

Oh please! Some people actually voted for fucking Tupac, for Christ sake ! Don't expect this shit to run smooth! It's the ORG, remember?
