I'll take 4 or so of those 10

I would possibly add Lupe, but not enough material to work with yet.

I would possibly replace Method Man with GZA.

Or at least move GZA above Method.

yeah i went with method man as a personal fav pick. really gza or rza could go there too. havent listened to a ton of lupe but i heard hes pretty good. Kayne really fell off after his first 2 albums. as far as production goes hes up there with DRE, Scott Storch, Kanye. Not a fan of his new record at all. Id rank TI and Wayne ahead of him imo. Any suggestions of some lupe songs i should download? Keep hearing about him.

honerable mention.. eazy e, ice cube, rakim, redman. everlast, lil wayne, TI, Scarface. Gotta give love to the pioneers too.

On a local level here(Detroit) but not GOAT. Black Milk, Jay Dilla, Paradime, Big Sean, Trick Trick

I thought about Snoop but the fact the only stuff hes ever done that was decent was with DRE. After he left and went to Master P his shit was str8 up wack. Even alot of his new stuff is pretty soft. Maybe top 25 but not in the top 10 imo

Lupe has to be in there.. if you are looking for some lupe songs, listen to "superstar" and new ones like "show goes on" and "beaming.

I'm a big Jay Z fan. Not too big on the guys from the 90s and early 2000s since i didn't listen to rap back then.

Now, I would have to say Drake is my fave. Yeah he doesn't go hard but hes got skillz

by the way, new Kanye album is dope and i couldn't care less about Kudi

have a hard time with biggy because he only had 2 records. although they were super dope. Budden is highly underated imo.

Cube isn't even listed?  His The Predator album might be the best non Tu Pac album ever.  Seriously though how can anyone not have Pac first.  I can see your point about Em but Jay-Z.  Wow!

I think alot of people would have em, jay, pac, biggie listed in alot of diffrent orders. if your talkin record sales Pac > Cube> Bigge and EM and Jay Z and Pac and then everyone else. Even tho its all just a matter of opinion.
