why couldn't Black Voices make this much sense

While I agree, I dont believe Biggie should be on top since he was only 2 albums deep compared to 2Pac's what..8, 9? Plus bootlegs???

i think they're in random order, i hope.

Where is KRS-One?

Greatest of all time, IMO.

Got it right? Personally, I don't think so. I knew before I even clicked on it that B.I.G. and 2Pac would be at the top. They were never there before they died, why should they be now? Both of them good, neither of them the best.

And where is LL?

Where is Morris Minor and The Majors...?

Em shouldn't be on there, and neither should Wu and ATCQ because they are groups. Wu shouldn't be on there also because they really just had that 1 breakup album 36 Chambers and was pretty sub par after that. Plus, I read how they chose their top 11 so they really don't know Hip Hop.

Y shouldnt Em be on it? Like it matters anyway, it's just a damn list izaiah...

paisleypark4 said:

Cuz I don't feel Em's been in the game long enough and I think he gets overhyped due to the fact that he's white.

TheCrucialExperience said:

He does have a irresistable style and way of catching the ear.

He has been rapping since 1996, albums since 1998. He may not be in the game long enough but that doesnt make him any less of one of the best rappers out since then.

paisleypark4 said:

You'd put him ahead of KRS One and LL then? Trugoy/Dave from De La? Ice Cube?

Naw, not even. Em didn't pioneer shit. He has some skills, but not ahead of those cats I just mentioned.

TheCrucialExperience said:

U right I wouldnt put him up there. They are missing LL I must say. I only have "3 Feet High and Rising" from De La, and definitley not infronta Ice Cube. Hmmm....u got me stumped.

Em is a great rapper, but I'm not digging all of this comedy shit he's been doing lately.

I always considered the two best mc's of all time to be KRS-One and Rakim.

Mosh Toy Soldiers and Mockingbird was'nt comedy off the album so far, and the radio single "Encore"..

He's clinically insane now, but I can get with that.

TheCrucialExperience said:

As tight as Dave is, IMHO, Kelvin Mercer a/k/a Posdunous is really on another level. But as a group, De La belongs in the convo. Their body of work speaks for itself!

The Teacher and Ice Cube should've been on this list.

Eminem should've been omitted and replaced with LL or the aforementioned.

Co-muthaf**kin'-sign.

its ok, but pac and biggie are way to high, LL should be on there as well.

And how'd they leave off Vanilla Ice?

No Outkast?

Pish list

Great list, although I would have put Tupac first. Biggie really doesn't need to be so high up, in my opinion.

Dan, I gotta disagree with you. Pac and Biggie definately belong on that list. Even though Biggie only had two albums before he passed, his flow was impeccable and, regardless of Pac'sthugstatus, he was one of the best and there is no one like him. Eric B and KRS One should be at the top of the list followed by De La collective effort. LL Cool J does not belong on the list, in my opinion.

Not even for longevity?

And MC Lyte never gets her props!

GangstaFam said:

If Lyte gets her props then Queen Latifah would make it ahead of her then.

GangstaFam said:

LL's been around for a long time but what he says doesn't move me like Pac did/does. I dunno: LL's party and Pac's stuff had a lot of social commentary.
