Everyone:

After the debacle of the Vibe Best Rapper Alive poll results, it appears there's some support for doing an Org poll.

So here's how I propose to handle it.

1. Each Orger can submit 5 nominations.

2. The top 50 nominees will be in play for a final poll.

3. We hold 3 rounds of voting where Orgers vote for 3 names. The 1st round will cut the list to 25, the next round, to 5, and the final round, to 1.

4. Voting starts tomorrow.

Thoughts?

Sounds good too me. And could we request that the hip hop haters either contribute in earnest or keep the negativity to themselves?

Is this orgers rapping or voting for their favorite rapper? If it's orgers participating I'm staying the hell away

cool

Fool!

I hope everyone pays attention and there are no votes for 2Pac, Biggie, etc.

I bet there will be at least one vote for 2Pac.

I can't rap! I can't wrap either. You should see how shabby my gifts look. I prefer gift bags

Ice Cube

Rakim

honorable mention: Master 'P

Don't know about the best thing, but here are a few I like.





....Jalal Mansur Nuriddin





...Rakim





...Chuck D.





...KRS-One



I know he'll get no votes because he's really a writer and not a rapper by trade but...



...spoken word sections by Quincy Troupe

Listen to River Town Packin House Blues and tell me he shouldn't be considered.




Since everyone else is jumping the gun, I figured I would too.
