@BmoreGorilla, what's your thoughts on Prodigy's career? Objectively speaking, he's had a great career. The standout MC on 3 superlative Mobb Deep albums (2 being classics), a stellar debut album and..despite the fall off lyrically...he still puts out quality projects. He's been putting out dope sh!t for over 20 years. Lowkey he's been one of the most consistent rappers ever, music wise. More consistent than several dudes in the poll.

@BmoreGorilla I read the OP but I have some confusion

Am I supposed to be voting for my top 10 from the list or rappers on the list that's in my top 10?

Some people seem to be voting their top 10 from the list meanwhile only 5 of these were in my top 10 list so I voted for 5

Sorry if I make no sense lol

Pick ten from the list you think are top 10 MCs. There will be a spinoff thread with more names tho

At one point P mighta been the best in the game. He's definitely one of the names that will be included in the spinoff thread

From that list Redman, Prodigy, 3stacks, G Rap, and Common. Might have to do six with Slick Rick

Whats silly about being objective?

 

[BmoreGorilla]

I like Short Dawg as much as the next guy but he doesn't belong in GOAT discussions.

If you can name 10-15 MCs who have had a better career Ill agree with you

 

[Mike Otherz]

Its hard to argue that criteria, no passion for it. I'd rather just list whom i fx with the most.

Can't do six though breh. You gotta keep the top ten from this thread and add the five above to see who survives round 2
LL and KRS looking like food
If you keep building on the previous threads from round to round...then it truly is definitive

 

[nieman]

There's no G Rap in the poll. I repeat, NO G Rap.

My Top 10
1. Nas
2. Scarface
3. Kool G Rap
4. 2pac
5. Redman
6. Ghostface
7. KRS
8. Rakim
9. Black Thought
10. Cube
