Anybody else watch the "Top 10 Rappers" on BET?

The Top 10 Rappers of the 21st Century

The judging criteria were:

1. Lyrics

2. Cream (money)

3. Cultural Influence

4. Internet Swagga'

The results were:

1. Eminem

2. Lil Wayne

3. Kanye West

4. 50 Cent

5. T.I.

6. Ludacris

7. Drake

8. Jeezy

9. Jadakiss

10. Rick Ross

Personally, I think placing 50 cent above T.I. or Ludacris is just retarded! 50 cent hasn't had a hit since......who knows when and loses all of his "beefs" (Rick Ross and Kanye). I also dont feel Drake should be higher than anyone on the list besides maybe 50 Cent. But guess thats just my opinion.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I stumbled upon the show, and after a few short seconds I realized that I shouldn't waste my life watching any of it.

So this is present day? Lol.

My biggest gripe would be that Eminem is 1 and that Jadakiss is even on here. Dont get it twisted, Eminem is the greatest freestyler of all time, but he does not have internet swagga' or cultural influence. I dont count white people thinking they can rap, when they can't, being influence. Lol.

I think the game should have been on the list, replacing Jadakiss, and yes, 50 should have not been on here, or very low. And how are you gonna have Kanye on here, but not Jay Z? This list confuses me.

...did the new Dre album ever come out yet?

The "I need a Dr." vid, IMO, was rather good for a hip/hop vid.

Interesting list....

I personally am not a Jay-Z fan so I wont comment on that. But, Game was in the top 15 but they eliminated 5 and just did the Top 10 ranks. I personally think Game could easily have been in the top 10 though. As far as Jadakiss, I do respect some of his lyrics but Top 10?? never! Eminem, I understand being on the list just not number 1. no internet swagga at all! only cultural influence would be the fact that he's a successful white rapper. Money-----> he has some sick record sales! While I dont think Wayne is the best lyricist on the list, given the judging criteria, i'd give him #1 over the people on this list. 50 cent shouldnt have even been considered IMO. and Kanye has had a HUGE cultural influence esp. fashion! not to mention crazy sales. and pretty nice lyrically IMO as well

Just about all of those guys are trash... Internet swagga? Is that what they focus on? Let's get real... Although I did just realize it's of the 21st century so they have a much more narrow selection, since rap has been almost entirely shit for the past decade... but Childish Gambino? anybody?
