You putting em in yo top 5?
Just asking
I don't do list because it's an impossible task
Although Bgol does those debates surprisingly well for the most part.
Lists are Not made to celebrate but denigrate.
Mel above lists he just IS.
That man is a foundational piece of hip hop
You can't quantify that
Like grandmaster flash inventing quick mix...
How the f*ck you gonna quantify that?
He isn't the greatest dj of all time but djs as we know them would not exist without him.
You cannot RANK Rakim.
What he did for modern mc delivery content cadence flow and lyrics CHANGED modern mc techniques
Ain't no ranking Pac INFLUENCE on hip hop culture.
But he ain't the best MC.
Saying anything negative about Biggie as a pure uncut MC is not blasphemy its nonsensical.
Eminem is SICK.
No post Eminem white rapper and I mean NONE can claim they were not directly influenced by him.
PERIOD. they ALL sound like him in some way shape or form. You cannot dismiss that.
That's a permanent generational change in a culture artwork and business.
You can't RANK any of them.
Barbershop bullsh*t fun talk ? Of course.
But no legitimate music journalists should engage in that.
You can rank an individual artists catalog I guess but outside that?
Lists should be fine discussions built to highlight and celebrate and elevate the culture.
The internet yet again proves it has become everything opposite of that.
