I think why how these guys get fans is they get middle class kids or kids that are excited by negative talk cause they where geeks or where raised in a good household.Its like this is the bad a** music to them to be rebels to ...LOL
DAS JUST YO OPINION...hatin... TRYNNA MAKE IT OUT DAT NERDS, WHO NOT BOUT DAT LIFE...IS KEEF BIGGEST FANS...NAW SON...DEY DONT LIKE KEEF..CUZ HE PROMOTE VIOLENT S***.... dem wild youngins livin dat life da ones pushin FO CHIEF KEEF to blow up...INTERSCOPE.
@ da raw zone .. Most of chief keef fans is youngins livin in poberty, hood & keef rap bout s*** dat go on in da hood... Das his core fanbase... Of course older ma fuccas fucc wit him too .. Cuz we id/ relate to wat he b rappin bout cus we livin it / lived it. Is it negative rap ?!?! Fucc yea it is but its REALITY MUSIC... spittin on da harsh realities. Ma fuccas dat is low lifes / hustlers/ fuccs wit him .. It is wat it is
This list is horseshit. Nas is definitely top 3, Rakim is not, he may be the father of modern rap, but he was passed up a long time ago. Rakim should be #1 in the list of Hip Hop's lyric pioneers, but is in No way the best. The top spot should be a tie between Kendrick Lamar and Biggie, with Big L and Nas in the 3rd and 4th spots.
Kendrick Lamar doesn't meet the criteria for this list. In order to be considered you have to have a minimum of 2 albums out. KL has 0 at this time.
Give it time, K.Dot'll be up with the best, no doubt about it.
TK what up. KL got talent no doubt. We'll see where he's at a decade from now when they compile the next list. I also predict that Tyler will be on the next one.

Hmmm IDK bout that bruh, I think Tyler's fading already...maybe. his lil' apprentice Earl is dope though, check this:

i aint never clicced play on no TYLER DA CREATOR/EARL//ODD FUTURE TYPE S***........TOO MA FUCCIN WEIRD fo my liking...SMMFH! BUT YALL DAMN KILL ME FO FUCCIN WIT TRAP/BRICCSQUAD TYPE S***....right?! CMON SON!

Earl dope too. Is he out yet?
as in back from wherever the f*** he was? lol yeah. he can def spit but can he put out a project is the question..
we'll have to see. i bought the OF Tape Vol 2 and Earl is only on one track if i'm not mistaken...
If Banks ain't on here, you know this list don't mean s***...
