damm fif on tha edge of not bein on tha next list...GOOD!! negga had tha rap game in a choke hold...but he let it slip away....and now he juss graspin at it!!
Hah! You know they did that intentionally right? Even with Benzino off the staff 50 can't get a break from The Source.
LOL this list is funny. 50 aint a lyricist neither is ross neither is half these people on this list. if this list was really about lyrics Lupe would be top 10

yeah lupe 1 spot above 50? c'mon now...i mean everybodys not gon' agree wit the list cause i have heard 1 Big L song in my life but i always hear his name mentioned when it comes to lyrics...it baffled me how Pac wasnt #1 but oh well its all from other hip hop heads opinion..atleast they didnt have B.Rabbit #1

c'mon mane. 2PAC is still that n!gga and all, but Rakim is the "God" MC. everyone who came after Rakim is merely a derivative. just ask Nas:

Nas(#2)
"Unauthorized Biography of Rakim"
Streets Disciple
2004

One of the better traxx' off that album..
lol. that album was a dud wasn't it? oh well, even the greats slip up occasionally (Rakim and 2PAC excluded).
thazz HOMAGE NEGGA!! i respeck dat cos we know rakim hadda a big impack on noz!! to me is rakim at 1 they got that right...cos follow tha leader is a title NAME TAG, now you know you dont have to ask...rap is rhythm and poetry, cuts creates sound effects!!
and they put em in a good spot cos dat negga aint tha king...negga is decaf!!
pac was more than rap...pac tha only negga on there i feel that his life was not really juss about rap!! he shoulda been above jay mos definitely!!
theres no way pac could of been nuber 1 ...big n rakim below pac hell no
WTF R U TALKIN ABOUT ARIVIN? 50 IS A HELL OF A LYRICIST
are you on drugs?
