I think it's time we make a definitive coli top 10 MC list: Round 3

[mobbinfms]

It may have strayed too far from hip hip for this list, but to call an album that won the Grammy for Album of the Year a poor attempt at going solo is hilarious.

Yeah - it was definitely massively successful and critics loved it. But at the end of the day, it wasn't a hip hop album.
It's crazy that KRS is gonna lose his spot to a rapper who never made a proper solo album
But 3000 is a beast on the mic, those first three Kast albums are classic and he's always been a contender for my #10 spot
But I think these threads are making me realize that ten spot is G Raps

Where Banks?

@BmoreGorilla decided it would be unfair to put Banks in the poll. It's gonna make everyone look bad when the PLK gets 1500 votes

 

[BmoreGorilla]

I get the feeling Kanye is gonna get the votes to be top ten.

I think he will two. I think he might make a run at top 5

Just gonna enjoy this moment where P is #10
KRS though

I don't know, it was pretty hip hop to me. Experimental as fukk, but the essence was most definitely hip hop.

I don't agree with KRS losing his spot on any top 10 list, but I also don't agree with Andre being left off any definitive top 10 list.

What was hip hop to you about Hey Ya? The Prototype? She Lives In My lap?

I'm not saying every song is a rap song or boom bap.

I'm talking in spirit. In feeling.

Rooted in the culture.

She Lives In My Lap is very hip hop.

 

[Billy Ocean]

at Prodigy even being in the conversation

@ prodigy gettin more votes than Andre 3000 , y'all might as well drown in bleach


@ Chuck D dusty ass making this far

Prodigy on the first 3 Mobb albums is better than 3K at any point. Prodigy actually has solo rap albums. Prodigy has GOOD solo rap albums. He deserves more votes than 3K.

She Lives In My Lap is very hip hop.

I don't know what this means breh. Hip hop is an expansive art form for sure, but there have to be some basic criteria right? Rapping would have to be a requirement right? Otherwise whose to say that Garth Brooks doesn't have that hip hop spirit and feeling?
I'm using an extreme example obviously, but you get the point.

 

[DallasTxRep]

Poll has the wrong UGK member

Huge Pimp fan but he's nowhere near the rapper Bun is

Breh, The Love Below is not a rap album and calling it a Hip Hop album is a stretch. Dre has zero solo rap albums and that's the MAJOR reason I don't believe he deserves to be in a Top 10 GOAT MC list. Why should he be on there over MCs that have continually proven they can craft great solo rap albums?

Lol that's a very extreme example.

Hip Hop is not just rap, breh.

It's the sound, it's the drums, it's the song writing, it's the attitude, the feeling.

Lauryn Hill's album is considered hip hop and she's singing on 60% of the album.

808's and Heartbreaks is also a hip hop album with more singing (?) than rapping on it.

As far as She Lives in my Lap, that song is more hip hop than 90% of the shyt being made today.
