It's funny and I was watching Beat Street and when Melle Mel came on all I could think was how far advanced it was compared to other rappers at that time. Dope to see him on that list.

I don't see anything wrong with the list. The most egregious placing I see there is Em and maybe Wayne but that's me personally. Cube is an MC so he looks at things differently, plus he's from the early-mid 80s so he is going to have cats like Mel etc in there. I always leave out Pac & BIG when people ask about top 10 lists etc because they're just a given at this point, it would be like leaving MJ or Kobe out of the top NBA player list.

I mean maybe Ice T was more impactful and influential to Ice Cube personally than Pac was. Cube was already established when Pac was out so he probably wasn't as influential to Cube:yeshrug:

During his don Mega era he was biting pac hard elongation his words "give me eleven keeeeeeeys and a hundred gggggggs and I Make a enough cheese to bring Wall Street to its kneeeeeeees"
