rza gives his top 5 emcees

[I love Latina women]

this was done just a little while back before he and raekwon squashed their beef

he said if he took the wu-tang out of the equation then it would go like this.....

1. rakim
2. nas
3. kool g rap
4. ice cube
5. scarface


(starts at the 3:35 mark)



he remained consistent with his list for the most part in the above interview versus this older interview from a few years ago. only difference is in this one his list includes wu members

1. gza
2. rakim
3. ghostface
4. kool g rap
5. raekwon/inspectah deck(tie)

I dig the first list, nice to see G Rap, and Face in there, if just for some variation from common lists. They both deserve to be in a Top list, 5, 10, 20, whatever.

 

[big bun]

Take out G. Rap and insert Mistachuck, then put Pac as a tie with Uncle Face and my top five matches Rza's.

yeah, i got chuck d at the number 2 on my list but then again i ain't kool g rap on there. really, there's so many ways these lists can be done

because kool g rap is an unsung hero of hip hop. he's the definition of both a fore father of hip hop and underrated at the same time

Chuck is my no. 2 as well. G Rap is in my top-10. Definitely an unsung hero and forefather.

[Big Mel]

Jadakiss
Nas
Big Daddy Kane

My top 5 changes every couple years too. It's hard to have a consist top 5 ever imo because your feeling on MCing and music changes as you grow. Certain shyt you held in higher regard changes and you hear things differently, might have explored someone else catalog more etc..

True. Plus in the video they asked RZA his type 5 on some spur of the moment, off the top of the head type sh!t.

Yep. My top 5 usually has the same 2 always Biggie and KRS, then the next three changes. Now it's Nas, Jay and Rakim. Next week it might be G. Rap and Cube in there instead lol
