MTVs 22 Greatest MCs
This is their list...

1. Tupac (How could you not?)
2. Biggie (Might be a touch high, IMO, then again, I never had a real affinity for Biggie)
3. Eminem (Just NO!)
4. Nas (maybe a little high, def. should not be higher than Jay)
5. Jay-Z (Slightly low..3 or 4)
6. Rakim (Haven't heard much Rakim...what can I say)
7. Dr. Dre (He's def. top 22..but 7?! FUCK NO. This is for MCs, shouldnt factor in producer merits)
8. Lil Kim (YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!! They even went as far as to call her "the female Biggie" and "the Madonna of rap" on the show. PLEASE)
9. Beastie Boys (Gotta agree here)
10. Missy Elliot (They put Missy LOWER THAN LIL KIM )
11. Big Pun (don't wanna be a playa no mooooo...how can you hate that? Maybe high)
12 Nelly (DEF. too high, I love Cornell, but 12? no.)
13 DMX (X is good, but there are some people on this list he should not be higher than)
14 Run-DMC (like these guys. DMC is way too low)
15. KRS-ONE (see: Rakim)
16. Snoop Dogg (flip-flop him and Dre.)
17. Common (If you're gonna put someone "underground" on this list...I wouldn't pick Common. Kweli, Mos Def, Gift of Gab, Black Thought, Will.I.Am...where are they?)
18. Foxy Brown (meh.)
19. LL Cool J (Low! LL has LONGEVITY! that counts for something)
20. Queen Latifah (maybe she's a shadow of herself now, but...)
21. Method Man (a lot of people love the WUUUUUUUU TANGGGGGGG, me, not so much.)
22. Chuck D (LOW!!!!!! Public Enemy are def. one of the best acts ever. FIGHT THE POWER!)


Some room for discussion here... this was supposively voted on "by the people" but this looks like one of those no risk "well, no shit" MTV/magazine style type lists... (My thoughts in parenthesis)

My list:

1. Pac
2. Kweli
3. Jay-Z
4. Mos Def
5. Nas
6. D.M.C.
7. B.I.G.
8. Snoop
9. Beasties
10. Chuck D/Public Enemy
11. KRS
12. N.W.A.
13. LL
14. LUDA
15. Em
16. Pun
17. Gift of Gab
18. Missy
19. Twista
20. Nelly
21. Sir Mix-A-Lot (no love GODDAMNIT!)
22. DMX

Anyone else up for it? Go!

Rakim should be at least number 3. Nas is better than Jay-Z. Eminem is a little high on the list but he deserves to be top 22. Nelly is garbage. Lil' Kim sucks, so does Missy Elliot. Run DMC and KRS-One should be AT LEAST top 10. Foxy Brown sucks. Where is Mos Def and Talib Kweli? WHERE THE FUCK IS Q-TIP????????? Outkast?

There's also Dre's work in NWA, not to mention all the top notch producing he's done throughout the years. Also, Dre has released 3 albums.

Na, you were right.

Yeh, I've heard a few tracks off of One Monkey Ain't Stop No Show, from what I've heard it's a pretty good cd. Hoping to get to hear the rest of it soon though.
