[The Ruler 09]

What a surprise who you voted for with your stannish screename lol. People love KRS, one of the absolute most respected MC’s ever, even Jay Z himself mentioned him as one of the greatest, not to mention Nas, 2 Pac, Rakim, G Rap and practically everyone who knows what’s good.

Memory refresher about who likes KRS....

Even Jay Z mentions KRS as one of the greats..

Let's see what other knowledgeable heads say, how about let's say Scarface, again Jay's man too, done numerous work together...
"RAKIM
Scarface: The way that Rakim put words together is like no other.
AllHipHop.com: For the younger generation who may be unfamiliar with Rakim; which track do they really need to listen to? Do you remember what made you first gravitate towards him?
Scarface: Listen to [Eric B. & Rakim’s] “Follow The Leader.” The main said, “…A furified freestyle, lyrics of fury/ my third eye makes me shine like jewelry… [chuckles] goddam! N****s talk about chains; the man said his third eye makes him shine like jewelry!
KRS-ONE
AllHipHop.com: What about KRS makes him stand out amongst others?
Scarface: “Criminal Minded.” To me KRS-ONE had that pause—it picks back up—he had a swagger from that “Criminal Minded” album. You know, that was really our star.
KOOL G RAP
AllHipHop.com: What about Kool G Rap earned your respect?
Scarface: …He had a song called “Truly Yours”—and that’s really the best girl diss that I ever heard.
AllHipHop.com: [laughs]
Scarface: He dissed somebody and I was like, damn. [starts emceeing] “This I dedicate to the girl I hate…” [mimics the DJ Polo beat, uh uh uh uh uh uh] “This I dedicate to the girl I hate…” Man, that is a fantastic come line—
AllHipHop.com: You think it’s been timeless?
Scarface: It’s timeless. Yes, “Truly Yours”
ICE CUBE
AllHipHop.com: What made you become an Ice Cube fan?
Scarface: [starts reciting a verse from Cube’s “A Bird in the Hand”] “Fresh out of school I was a high school grad/ had to get a job because I was a high school dad…/ but there was no SC for this youngster/ I didn’t have no money /so I had to punch the clock…” That boy Cube is cold; that boy Ice Cube is sick!
AllHipHop.com: Which MC is your last pick?
Scarface: I really have to think about that last one. S***, of all time, you got to say LL Cool J, dawg.
AllHipHop.com: LL?
LL COOL J
Scarface: Yep! Top five of all time, you got to put LL in that top five of all time.
AllHipHop.com: Now, if there were a top 6:
NAS
Scarface: Nas. I think Nas is a bad motherf***er. "

Let's see what a Raekwon would say..
"I take real emcees serious, so I will definitely say, one is Rakim. Rakim is our Marvin Gaye of Hip-Hop.
Then you have Slick Rick. Just their albums that came out almost 20 years ago is still busting a lot of n*ggas a** today lyrically. I wouldn't even consider myself in the "Top Five" yet. I haven't put in any work yet. Them two... I like [Notorious] B.I.G. Definitely one that definitely had a lot of talent, he had that good voice.
Big Daddy Kane was crazy back then. His s**twas on fire. He has come with all different types of styles and flows. 'Cause see that's what I look at too. I don't look at a n***a just being able to rhyme and talk tough all day. I'm talking about literature on wax. s**tthat will be like "what he say?" Spitting that sh*t right back. I look at all that. One thing to me about being a real emcee is that you have to fit that role as being one of those n***as. All n***as are made to have their own style and charisma. B.I.G. had his own style, his own charisma. He was able to do R&B s**t, kill it and still come back to do the real s**t.
Always presenting his lyrics, always knowing how to write stories and dip in different things. So I look at all that. Rakim, Slick, B.I.G., Kane...
I got one for more... KRS-One. Lyrically, l said those names right there. That's why I picked them."

How about west coast?
Spice 1: Tupac, MC Ren, Ice Cube, KRS-One and Rakim

AllHipHop.com: Can you list your “Top 5 Rappers Dead or Alive?”
Ice T: Here are my Top 5 rappers, in no particular order. There’s Rakim, of course, who is strictly about the flow, taking me in to a whole different dimension. Chuck D made us all put our fists in the air and said that we have to fight the power. Ice Cube, just because he’s f*cking Ice Cube. That n*gga’s a beast. When he said, “Straight Outta Compton,” to me that’s the hardest record in the history of Hip-Hop. Then there’s KRS-One. If you have never seen KRS perform live in concert, there is nothing more Hip-Hop than him. Then, I’ll toss it up between Jay-Z and Nas as one person.

Let's see what MEMPHIS BLEAK says LMAO....
AllHipHop.com: Who would up say are the top 5 emcees, Dead or Alive - for Memphis Bleek?
Kool G Rap
“He was the first rapper that showed me some guns in a video and how to tie a n***a up. He was spittin’ the real. He was the M.O.P. before M.O.P.”
KRS-One
“KRS-One was the lyricist of lyricism back in the day. He was the first person to ever destroy somebody and build his career off of destroying him. He was the first 50 Cent. (laughs) Let’s clear that up!”
Rakim
"Rakim was before his time. You can put on a Rakim album and it sound like it was recorded last month. He was spittin’ harder than rappers spit now. [He was] way before his time."
B.I.G.
"When you get to the new school, you gotta put B.I.G. up there. B.I.G. made it cool for fat dudes to get fly and steal our chicks. And he was just funny. B.I. brought the comedy to rap. He made it fun again."
Tupac
“My last Top 5 pick is Tupac because Pac was real. Pac was a revolutionist. People look at Pac for the thug. But you gotta look at all the other songs, ‘Brenda’s Got A Baby’ ‘To My Unborn Child,’ ‘Dear Mama.’ Pac was the truth man. He wasn’t about lyricism. He was about getting the message to you and making sure you understood that he was dead serious about it and I loved that about him."

Black Thought (In No Order):
Kool G Rap
KRS-One
Chuck D
Rakim
Big Daddy Kane

Chuck D
KRS,Rakim,JAYZ.MelleMel,IceCube,LLCoolJ,Tupac,Eminem,bigDaddyKane

Mary J. Blige
"I would start from the beginning with KRS-One, then I would go to Rakim. The reason why I put KRS-One at the top of my list is because he taught us something: Right now, no one wants to remove themselves enough to help the new generation. Songs like 'You Must Learn' and 'Self Destruction' helped us to think just a little more positively. He educated us and he loved us and he removed his selfishness enough to help us, and that's why he and Rakim are at the top of my list. I would then go to LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Black Moon, Biggie, Pac, Meth [Method Man], Jay-Z, Nas."

Lol you make it worse for yourself every post lol. I don't even think your as stupid as you seem, surely that's an impossibility. You probably just have a personality disorder. K-Rino is an underground artist, he isn't highly famous so you can't vote for someone you don't know of you clown lol. As more people found out about K-Rino's work the more people mention him. I could show you numerous people calling K-Rino THE greatest easily or artists biggin him up, but it's futile. But if your rational for being better is sales then Nas >>>>> Twista, Lupe and so on.
