The RZA is king of New York, the rest of the Clan and a few other trusted 'affiiliates' are his knights, and Nas is the sheriff

How can anyone honestly give a rating like .3? I'm guessing people overlooked all of his accomplishments over the 10+ years. 10 number one albums which puts him in the same place as Elvis. If Tupac recieved an 85 he should at least be close or higher than him.

that's not my point...you don't know who buys jay z cd's so you can't assume the demographic. I'm saying too many people aren't taking what he's achieved into consideration. If the rating is based on his overall career in music then these ".3" ratings are just stupid even if a person doesn't like him

Are you saying I should rate everyone a 10, because alot of these bands and artists deserve alot better then what they got if all thier accomplishments are taken into account. For example, Skippord, as far as I know, is a metal fan, who doesn't like rap/hip hop that much. As he does not rate them high, the opposite, Krispy, who obviously enjoys it, but rock and metal not as much. Purely based on achievements, and not each individuals personal rating of the person, or band, with or without taking achievements taken into consideration, would make this whole thing pointless, as everyone would be ranked high 90's. I did not bitch that Metallica only got a 75, I believe it should be higher, but it could have been much lower, due to the fact that Metallica has done the Napster thing, and last few albums are pretty ![]() Now, if everyone who listens to music were to vote, the list would be crazy different. In short. Shut Up. Last edited by El Fangel; 12-21-2007 at 12:56 AM. |

Who said I wanted to start my own voting thread? If it's based on overall skill in music than how much people like or dislike the music then that's two different things. The voting would be alot stronger if other variables were involved. If someone can give him a 2 partly because he sampled Annie then obviously accomplishments means something. I'm just trying to point out flaws that would even things out with the artists scores

You are taking this shit way too seriously. Look at the list of previously ranked artists and their scores. Lighten up.

Wow, Jay-Z is easily the greatest rapper alive, and possibly ever. Anyone who thinks otherwise shouldnt listen to hip hop, or listens to way to much underground garbage in which people preceive to be good.
