MY top 5 MC's of all time...

[babyjesus]

Speaking of groups (well kind of) what happened to people making posse cuts? There where some real bangers back in the day. This being the first track to comes to mind when i think of posse cuts.

If you listen to the rhymes on this record and the symphony part one you can see why I put Kool G rap as my number 2...

[quote=babyjesus;19539]

1. Rakim

2. KRS-ONE (surprised only 2 people mentioned him)

3. Redman (king of metaphors) Check out Headbanger He upstaged everyone on that song.

4. Ice Cube ( best from the west)

5. Big Pun (although his style is a mix of Kool G Rap and Rakim I have to place him 5th because of his lyrics on the mix tapes)

Other notables: Chubb Rock, Busta Rhymes (Leaders of the New and his old solo stuff not to mention his dress styles and innovative hip-hop videos)

I never liked Tupac he was too much of a follower and not a leader. I like Biggie but i felt he never reached his full potential same for big pun. I gave Pun the slight edge due to the fact I like his style of delivery.

Im going to add my top 5 hip hop groups.

1. Run Dmc

2. Public Enemy

3. A Tribe Called Quest

4. Wu Tang Clan

5. EPMD

NWA on the heels of EPMD[/QUOTE

damn see what happens when you don't check in everyday you fall behind.LOL I'll try to reply to everyone..kila I agree after krs one's second album he fell off. I heard he's doing christian rap now or something WTF?
kila you've got good candidates but pun is not even in my top 20.
why do you think tupac was a follower (best rapper turned actor i might add)

On the groups, I totally agree except for one glaring omission. I would make Wu-Tang tied with De La Soul. I'd give very honorable mentions to NWA and The Roots and Slum Village.

Honorable mention: Talib Kweli. I think he's just a little too deep for some people. I had some dude say the only song the liked from him was "the blast" because he said shotgun in it. Sounded so ignorant, but anyways he's my fav and i think he's slept on to an extreme.

Top 5 you say? Kila my man...what about..and don't forget...X CLAN.

I only have a couple of qualms with X-Clan. Their beats were always some recycled beat that was hot around the same time they released theirs. Not to mention the guy always saying "With a Key Sissy"..lol he worked a nerve on me. Now i have to admit I had a thing for the girl Isis in that group. Overall I love the lyrics and what they stood for. i would give them honorable mention.
