How are they that %@%%#+% low, specifically Pun and Rick :[ all that yr with those blue blockers on has $%$#%* his view all the way up

 

[jmoneybaggz]

Real Talk....That's a great list. All those emcees deserve a top 50 mention, but the order is

I don't care what era you grew up in, that order is shot.

 

[mossman75]

My Thoughts...


Queen Latifah is way too high
Mack 10,Lil Kim,Foxy Brown,Fat Joe should be replace with people like Biz Markie,Chubb Rock,Special Ed,Masta Ace
Slick Rick should be higher

That order is off.

I think he belongs on there but not so high, he was a better rapper when he was Fresh Prince

[willybuck]

Kool G. Rap & Ice Cube should be higher.

Andre 3000, O.C., Posdnuos, Wise Intelligent, Tragedy, Ghost, Dres, & Masta Ace deserve consideration.

Yes, he was better as Prince, but we can all name 50 better mc's.

 

[starvin harlem]

Yea I bought that book a while ago . . . Prolly 3 years back at a used bookstore, the order could be different, but you have to realize Moe Dee is in his 40s,the hip hop knew may differ from the hip hop a lot of us today may know . . . Its a pretty good read, he explains most of the positioning . . .

 

[putting in work]

Different era I guess, but I don't know I lose interest in one's opinion if Biggie isn't top 2-3.

 

[no escapin this]

Any list with Will Smith , Craig Mack, Lil Kim , and Foxy Brown gets no juice !

How did he throw himself into the Top 5, that`s laughable .

How is Q Tip or Prodigy not on that list ?

 

[the lowa]

Yea my list would be a lot different. For example Jay-Z is in my top 5.

 

[mace40]

Lil Kim before Jeru and Mack 10?

The **%# is Mystikal doing on there?

Kurupt? The "%*#%! @++#%, you more of a %*#%! than a %*#%!. You ain't into hitting !+%%$, or hitting a switch, you into hitting !$@%#!+ off with agrip, you punk %*#%! (%*#%!)" Kurupt?

It may be old, and it definitely needs reordering, but some of that is just inexplicable.

 

[no escapin this]

@mystikal , didn't even peep that

No Scaface ? Mack10 is on there ?

 

[the pga tour]

for the time he made it, and his bias for his time, it's actually a pretty good list IMO.

face at 30

 

[no escapin this]

It doesn't matter what era you come from , some of those name shouldn't be anywhere near a top 50 anything .

He can be era biased all he want`s , but Kool Moe Dee isn't top 5 or even 20 , especially puttin himself in front of LL (he lost that battle many moonsago)
