The 10 greatest MC's of all time Since I was a rap from the very beginning and witnessed its growth over the years, I have heard many MC's spit the mike. Some great. Some cool. Some alright. And some horrible. I want to lay down my favorite rappers of all time. Starting with Pac. No one is better than him. My whole list is:
1. 2Pac 2. Rakim 3. Ice Cube 4. Eminem 5. Biggie 6. Big Daddy Kane 7. Lil' Kim 8. Nas 9. Chuck D 10. Snoop Dogg Honarable mention to Run-DMC because they work better together and not alone. Peace and be wild! | |

As far as Jay-Z goes, HE SUCKS! Peace and be wild! | |

Now, the REAL top 10 MC list based solely off delivery, content, and skills: 1 - Rakim 2 - KRS-One 3 - Chuck D 4 - Guru 5 - Dave/Plug 1 (De La Soul) 6 - Q-Tip 7 - Pac 8 - Cube 9 - Mos Def 10 - Baby Professor/Brother J (X-Clan) nWo: bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher

My list didn't deviate much; I added LL because the case can be made that he's still the prototype by which most MC's are still built. Guru, Brother J and Tip, hard to argue them. Now, if MF Doom makes a few more neo-classics along the lines of Madvillainy and MM..Food, he could crack that list. [Edited 9/24/07 9:50am] Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
