It's kinda hard to dismiss some of the older rappers, because some of them were the most influential before the internet was the "go to" for music and information. I mean, example, Dj Squeaky. One of the most influential rappers and musicians ever in the rap game, from the mid 80's to early 90's, rappers were using his hooks which are still popular today. But if you do a search on him you barely find anything. In the last 30 years of rap, he influenced at least 10 years of music, and literally moved from Memphis to Atlanta in the mid 90's to influence the "new" wave of Atlanta rappers, you know who they are. But before them, he started the Memphis down south rap scene which included names like Three 6 Mafia, Eightball & MJG and even Kingpin Skinny Pimp. I still don't see Drake in top 10 on this list, not even top 50. Just because the bit-ches on the panel think he's cute, doesn't mean he should be there.

TOP 5 ALL TIME? My list:

1) 2 Pac

2) Eminem

3) Biggie

4) Dr. Dre

5) Nas

I dont base my top 5 on money or internet hype. This is MY list! Nas may not have a ton of "hits", but his lyrics are controversial, he talks about whats going on around the world, politics, economy etc etc. I like rappers that have "lived" what they actually rap about, or talk about things around us. I also enjoy listening to a story being told over an entire song, examply "Stan" by Eminem.

WTF are you talking about? I never said Jay-Z was better than anyone, I said he belongs on the list...

Also, Eminem will never sell as many albums as Jay-Z, period. I paid homage to Eminem earlier in the thread, explaining how he is the greatest freestyler of all time.
