Yeah. I hear your argument. Dre is more compelling to me for reasons I can't explain. Intangibles.
I was just making the point that he was viewed as the better rapper in Outlast starting in 96, way before the Em line.
I think it's time we make a definitive coli top 10 MC list: Round 4

That's crazy, but I sort of understand looking at the rappers on your list. Prodigy would stand out like a sore thumb
Apparently he didn't either until he was an adult. He didn't know his father growing up.
I'm going off a vague memory from a magazine article in the 90s
Real easy to argue he's the most underrated rapper ever.

Outside of Kast, none of these people you listed have a classic album like Face does.Yep, I think Face is slightly overrated, he's the obligatory southern pick for a top 10 list. I get dude had some heavy stories and gets points for being a "pioneer", but career wise and/or as rappers, there are others in the south who I feel are ahead of him - TI, kast, ceelo, killer mike, Krit. I get why people prop him up, but I think it's more "he's got to be there" influencing his position moreso than people objectively looking at whether he still belongs there.
A bunch of solid albums and no classic means you shouldn't be anywhere near a top ten
Yep. I'm sure Ghost, Snoop and Biggie stick out like a sore thumb

Yeah, I can't think of any classics..closest he got was with Trap Muzik and Paper Trail
. If we're gonna talk about this, I'd honestly consider Luda to be a better overall MC over T.I.

His shyt never moved me. I even bought the fix because the source gave it 5 mica and wasn't impressedYep, I think Face is slightly overrated, he's the obligatory southern pick for a top 10 list.

Based on the list, your taste seems to run towards a certain type of rapper.
You know your taste better than I do, so I'll leave it at that.
I will say that you should listen to the Infamous, Hell on Earth and Murda Muzik though.
91. I was 11. The song was all over the radio in the Bay. The shyt was inescapable.

Neither one of them should be on a top ten list though.Yeah, I can't think of any classics..closest he got was with Trap Muzik and Paper Trail
