I respect the great veterans Rakim, KRS and Chuck D and Kane, but I have to go with Nas because he keeps getting better.

BTW, Andre3000, where does he rank? I know more than a few ranked him.


Made it to the 2d round, finished tied for 8th in the 2d, with 4 votes.

hmmm You know, I think we may have done better to have an elimination-type voting.

That's not to sound ungrateful, of course. Thanks for putting this together, namepeace.

Let's not forget the reason for this counter programming.

Vibe put together brackets containing those that they thought should be considered by the fans as the Best Rapper Alive. And even though there were 64 entrants, Rakim wasn't even included (and, yes, Soulja Boy was).

Here is their sweet sixteen:

Jay-Z
Fabolous
Lupe Fiasco
Kanye West
Lil Wayne
Scarface
Ludacris
T.I.
Eminem
Ghostface Killah
50 Cent
Nas
Andre 3000
Common
The Game
Snoop Dogg

Their full Top 64 is kind of like mainstream radio. There's some good things going on there, but mostly it's a wasteland of missed opportunity.

Science or not, respect goes out to the Org and especially namepeace for officiating.

=== oh, hell / clarity ===
