As far as noteriety and success goes, that's not a bad list. I was really hoping I wouldn't open that link to see #5: Chingy.

overall...a very good list..your not gonna find your smaller underground artists on there and those were basically the best of the mainstream to be put out..i agree with putting dre somewhere on there...and even though i dont like eminem..gotta respect him being the only white cat to have done what he has done

ya but not every single member of wu-tang deserves to be in that top 11. And some might argue there is more then 9 members. But as a collective, they deserve that spot.

Most of the members of Wu-Tang deserve to be above Tupac. Yeah, he was good, but had he never been murdered he wouldn't be worshipped as he is.

good? well i guess that is debatable. but in terms of changing rap to how it is today, id say they are good. pretty much invented gangsta rap and put west coast on the map. and didnt take shit from no one. i just wanna know what happened to MC Ren anyone know?

NWA is fuckin dope. You gotta respect em cuz they really have made gangsta rap into what it is today, and some big names were in that group, and plus theyre music is G.

i think its over all best hip hop, including influence and skill, and the balance between them, and the list is pretty good

taken into account the thousands of skilled mc's out there, the underground scene doesn't really deserve the list because unless you've made it somewhere, you're not the best...

you may be good, skilled, talented, etc... but not the best.

with that said, big l doesn't deserve that list unfortunately, but also people like afrika bambaata, who were around since near the beginning, don't deserve it either, because then you can keep going back to say spoken word poetry and such, and even other music like gill scott heron, and such,

the list is pretty good, stop arueing it and appreciate it. it's not often mainstream will recognize these artists.

oh, and its not top mc's, not top dj either, but top collectives of hip hop, including solo and group performances... so think of that

not bad in my opinion.

i'm not saying bam deserves to be on the list because he helped start/invent/progress hiphop and was there from the start.
i'm just saying, if you're going to put nwa there, it's clearly not for their lyrical abilities. it's history. i'm not doubting their influence as a rap group, but i don't think that earns them a spot that high up.

illmatic IS the best hip hop cd ever made.
the beats are done by premier, pete rock, and other people who turned into legends. such a solid cd by the best rapper of all time.

2pac doesnt deserve half of the props he gets. very average rapper with dre making him rich....just like THE GAME.

not done..

anyone who says jay z doesnt deserve that is stupid as hell. jay z is amazing.

and if they split up the wu into rappers they would have to give top 10 spots to GZA, Ghostface, ..maybe method man, and more. so they gave other rappers a chance.

id definitely say the list is pretty alright for what id expect from AOL... wayyy better than i expected for sure.

id include other people, such as saul williams, krs one, guru, del, and some other people... but, thats just my opinion.
