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

[BmoreGorilla]

Its time brehs. We're long overdo. Let's put this list together and try to be as objectionable as possible. For example Redman is in my personal top 3 but I doubt he's top 10

Things to be considered should be: lyrics, flow, beat selection, consistency, influence, impact, and sales to a certain extent. Someone's overall career should be a major factor.

I have a poll with 15 names. Vote for all those you think are top ten and we can debate the order throughout the thread (or make a spin off). Ghost is on here since he has more solos that Wu has group albums. This is why people like Prodigy, Chuck D, and Black Thought are left off

#tpc lets get this thing going

 

[3xecDreamChaser]

Eminem and wayne and jay z are my goats.

 

[Prince Cairo]

Add some newer rappers to the list. No 3Stacks?

Big Pac Face top 3

Is that objective or subjective?

Redman is definitely top 10

I would put Black Thought and maybe Andre and Prodigy in there too

Big Pac Face top 3

3stacks didn't fit the criteria since he has no solo albums. I think it's too early to make a call on the newer dudes

I really wanna put Redman in there

The OP explains why I didn't put those last 3 in

Redman is definitely top 10

I would put Black Thought and maybe Andre and Prodigy in there too

These four all need to be included along with Common.

I hate this viewpoint.

 

[Big Mel]

Too $hort bro?
