Best Rapper Alive - 2003 (IF YOUR MVP CHOICE ISN'T ON POLL, MAKE A REQUEST IN THREAD)

[Ziggiy]

I clown 50 a lot but real talk he should've won Best New Artist at the Grammys that year.


Because they gave Kast Album Of The Year I think the academy didn't want to show Hip Hop too much love so they shaded 50

Dude was a complete non-factor in 2011 culturally. Just coming out the gate on the freshman XXL cover. Section. 80 sold 5,000 copies as an indy digital release. I bet half the Coli didn't hear the project in '11 or even know who he was. Yet, he won MVP. It's not like S80 was head and shoulders above the top tier 2011 releases either.

I personally would have went with Drake or given it to Jay or Kanye. Kendrick was literally a rookie building his draw off mixtapes, blogs, magazines, and Drake/Dr. Dre co-signs.

Yea Kendrick didn't deserve MVP of 2011....

I'd vote KRS-One, Kristyles was a classic to me and possibly the album I play the most that year. Could go several ways as still play a number of those albums and songs.

@Inspect Her Deck don't do it breh

As legendary as KRS is he was far from relevant in 03

That's my vote, I'm not basing it off how famous somebody was that year or record sales but the best project/skills.

Kendrick winning 2011 was simply the Coli shytting on Drake. He had the best combination of critical acclaim, commercial success, features, influence/impact, and MVP appeal and he took the crown from Wayne when he dropped his album. The Coli doesn't like Watch The Throne much so I'm not surprised Ye nor Jay won.

Some of these nikkas are full of shyt. They didn't check for Section 8.0 till they heard Swimming Pools and decided to go back and check it out

 

[Not The Ruler O9]

more proof that Scottish fraud doesn't know shyt

Life is Good > GKMC
XXX > Section .80

I think Kendrick definitely took 2015, TPAB is one of my favorite albums ever

The best project/skills means something but so does fame and sales. They all fit into the equation. We're talking about who was the best that year in the majority of categories. Some of yall have a real hard time being objective

 

[Mr. Negative]

what a fukking year.

I'm voting off the best projects/skills, fame and sales don't mean nothing to me. The album charted anyway to some degree, not that it matters. I'm voting strictly off that, if it was the most successful artist that year would vote completely different, infact we may not even have to vote as can just look at the sales, but would be quite boring then....

 

[Techniec]

I can see it already

Eminem giant of 2002 but Nas wins

50 Cent giant of 2003 and he wins instead of Jay

Em should've taken 02...yes his work wasn't the same quality as Nas but god damn it that dude RAN the game, that shyt gotta count for something

Dude its called MVP for a reason. KRS wasn't anywhere close to being most valuable in 03. GRODT was far from my favorite album in 03 but Im not a fool enough to think 50 wasn't the biggest rapper in the game. If we were voting strictly off fame and sales MC Hammer woulda won in a landslide in 1990

Flabby ass KRS album best album of 2003

Bu bu but real hip-hip, sales and popularity don't matter it'z about MC skills
