The Legend has spoken, (not me, but Kool Moe Dee.)

From his book of the 50 Greatest MC's of All-Time.

He list LL Cool J as a top 7 MC.

Lauryn Hill at #10 (part of the Fugee's.)

Nas at #11.

Quenn Latifah at #12.

Jay Z at #15.

MC Lyte at #19.

Redman at #20.

Fresh Prince at #23.

Busta Rhymes at #24.

Heavy D at #25.

Black Thought of the Roots at #29.

Scarface of Geto Boys at #30.

Snoop Dogg at #33.

Ice T at #35.

Lil Kim at #42.

These are all rappers I included as legends on my two list.

Bump what Kool Moe Dee's OPINION is

and guess what Stevie Wonder did a song with Drake, and Rev Run said he liked Lil Wayn and Nikki and MJ worked with Akon so does that make all of them legends?

No.

Jay Z ABOVE Heavy D, MC Lyte?

I dont think so....

Lauryn Hill. Damn Moe Dee i wouldn't rate her higher than Latifah or Lyte more

or less as a top 10 MC. He rates Black Thought too low imo too.

I still can't get how you consider Mobb Deep legends more so than OutKast.

At the time Wu-Tang Clan, Biggie, Nas, Boot Camp Click Members and even Big L, and Jay Z were out.

They took a back seat behind half of them, though (prime) Mobb Deep was nasty.

Wait. Mobb Deep? Legends?

I dedicated an entire post to why I edited my post and my original list. My original list did not include them and Mobb Deep came out in the late 80s... which was still before Outkast.

What did Mobb Deep accomplish in the '80s though? I only remember them in the mid-to-late '90s and then...nothing. Outkast was way more popular than them too.

Like I said Mobb was not in my original list.... and I added them in. The ones I added can be argued for whatever side. I am not arguing against your point because they were not in my original list. My original list is who I consider to be legends and I added I guess some other ones I thought but wasnt completely sure about myself because it can be argued for or against

And popularity like I told LBC doesnt make someone more or less of a legend. Now looking at it from the bigger picture, I wouldnt add them....................but I still dont think Outkast are legends

Seems like the both of you put your favorites in though. Just saying.

Nas is my favorite rapper and I didnt even include him in my original list

Because like I said in a past post that legend list was a list of legends that pioneered things musically for the genre.

Also, I love LL, Heavy D, Missy, and so forth but I consider them to be ICONS more so than legends.

I dont consider All my favorites to be legends

I LOVE Janet Jackson, Brandy, D Angelo, Janelle Monae but I dont consider them to be legends

I tried really hard not to be biased and objective when I made that list and then after going back and forth with some I added Nas and a couple of others because Legends dont necessarily have to pioneer things but my original list was a list consisting of legends that pioneers things specifically

Who's more of a legend in Hio-Hop though, Mobb or OutKast?

And Janet is a legend ... no Jackson bias, real talk.
