Best Rapper Alive - 1999 (IF YOUR MVP CHOICE ISN'T ON POLL, MAKE A REQUEST IN THREAD)

[ManBearPig]

Its a classic and is remembered as such so I would agree

I would like to argue Black on Both Sides, Internal Affairs and the Slim Shady LP should count as classics too but thats just me

Eminem got people got everybody like. "Who the fukk is Cage and Insane Clown Posse?"

Not @Juggalo Fred

The producer rapper ultimately screws these kind of polls up

Cuz 99 was Dres year...he was the MVP

There is no other answer

we need to do a series like this for the producers. that would be

you gonna reward Prodigy over a dude that rapped 100% of his album Black on Both Sides, which is quite a bit better than Murda Muzik? 1995 or 1996 I can see an outside case but not this year.

Y'all been brainwashed lol.

MM >>> BOBS





and shyt ain't even close !!!

It would be closer if Mos Def didn't have those moon boots and rock n roll songs

People really sleeping on the impact MM had in 99
That shyt hit hip hop harder than Sherm the Worm's fist hit :pdahell:'s face outside the Tunnel at the Murda Muzik release party
The same party where every single QB boss' car got stolen
Shoot the car up?

how is mos getting more votes than prodigy

we really gonna act like this wasn't the song / video of da year

 

[Damnshow]

my vote goes to drama aka the bootleg version of pac: left left left left left right left, get on up get on up get on up right left



nah but real talk the 99 was a below average year, a standard year between two great years of 98 and 00

dre had the best produced album, cant rate him as a rapper

jay and nas made very meh albums that year.

em's album as ok but the production was really bad...

mos def was probably the best lyricist that year. Roots also made a great album. Mobb Deep was good too, DOOM and Pharoahe making quality albums. But those are the albums every year had, nothing groundbreaking.

Breh made a song about water
We were all waiting for this album to drop
It's gonna be a classic
Then we get the album and Mos rapping about water for three minutes

Went with Mos Def. But 99 Eminem was just

This is gonna be the most "underground" rapper to take the MVP in 1990. I don't even wanna call Mos underground b/c its not really fair to call him that. He wasn't underground. But he was more on the fringe of hip hop then any prior year's MVP.

This. MM was their biggest album and P was arguable at his best. His verse on the original Quiet Storm is one of the goats

I don't understand why Pharoah Monch has zero votes and Mos has 13

I still think the album is a classic despite a couple wack tracks. Mos Def basically erased the underground/mainstream line that existed back then

Internal Affairs was dope. But it wasn't as good as Black on Both Sides.
