I can understand that. :yeshrug:

It's not like he had him in his top 5 lyricists off all time:yeshrug:
still, as an mc??? i give him credit for being a good artist over the years, but what qualifies him as a good mc let alone a great or top 5 mc. theres a reason everyone ignored him as a potential rapper when he was a producer who didnt have an album out. thats the ghostwriters talk aside, hes not technically even a good mc.

You're using the term mc incorrectly.

Kanyes a great mc.. Not a great lyricist.

Mc isn't just some overall term used for your technical rapping ability. It's less about lyrical technicalities and more of being able to entertain and hold the attention of listeners and being a great performers

I don't know about Kanye, but I have no problem with this list otherwise.

I personally believe that Ra is better than Nas and they basically share the same lane by virtue of Rakim inspiring Nas in every way.

I would replace Kanye with B.I.G.

By your reasoning Big should replace Jay.

But it's just another top 5 list, even if it's from someone famous. My list changes year to year so if someone agrees it's just a fluke.

I'm just going to be honest. I probably underrate Kanye and don't rank him as high as I should all time because i think he's an a$$hole and I don't like him. :yeshrug:
