to leave Hov off any list you have to have some sort of agenda, there's no way you can wrestle with "hmmm, should pac be on a top 10 list of best rappers ever?", obviously he's a shoo-in, so whatever white college kid or white suburban weirdo who rebelled by listening to rap music growing up made this list clearly has a personal dislike for Hov, probably hates the pro-black theme of some of pac's songs and interviews. he deserves to get stomped out, wont happen tho cause he's white, :jbhmm:

I'm a really big Kendrick fan, and shyt, I think he's actually better than Cole (I don't think bigger, but better). Maybe not by a lot, but enough.

But Rosenberg's passionate and blind allegiance to that whole camp and to Kendrick is uncomfortable, and really does his opinion a disservice.

You can really tell (not just from this interview, but others as well) that his "insider" status and place as somewhat of a tastemaker has gone to his head.

And with that being said...

Neither of the two should be on the list.

Yet.
Wasn't anything blind about his opinion. He gave valid reasons which were accurate.

Pac isn't in my personal top 10, but I think these lists shouldn't be based upon personal feelings but rather from an objective stand point, that said.. This would be my top 10 w/ no personal attachment , no order besides maybe like the first 3..

This is all based upon impact

BIG
PAC
NAS
Big Daddy Kane
HOV
G Rap
Wayne
Rakim
Ice Cube
Eminem (I still feel weird putting him on this, but whatever.... If anyone disagreed to replace him I couldn't argue or defend it lol)

Not to derail the thread but can someone please explain to me Rosenberg's resume/background/story especially in the New York area and how he became to be so prominent?
Wikipedia gave me nothing.....

He lays out his full resume to Nicki in this video
@ 5:00

Rosenberg is right

He said its all about quality, by that logic Lauryn Hill is a better rapper than Big Pun.

These lists tricky cuz they never specify if they talking about artistry or pure rapping ability.

The real truth is that biggies number one with 2 albums:stopitslime:

How many albums Pac got:stopitslime:

Kendrick but no Drake or Cole:stopitslime:

Eminem but not Redman or Ludacris:stopitslime:

These lists:snoop:

Its usually easier to point out what they did right but in this case....im just genuinely confused.

Not having Tupac on the list is like omitting Jordan from the basketball hall of fame. It doesn't work. These nikkas debating about body of work but nobody in their right mind would say any of Cole or Kendrick's projects are better or more impactful than AEOM, MATW and Makaveli

They left out Pac because it would get people talkin as it has. They wanted attention from people like Snoop so they got what they wanted. :manny:
