Top 20 Technically?

[Bugsmoran]

In order or nah?

No order

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

I dont do these lists, but u cant make them w/o Lupe, Bone Thugs or Eminem

I would add Purple Haze/Dipset era Camron to that list too.

 

[surv2syn]

Elzhi needs to be in on this

its so many that are great...but I guess we need to stick to topic and only go with those who would be in your top 20.

@the cac mamba if you say Ja Rule wasnt great technically then

about hip hop
hate for Ja on this site is at fakkitry levels. his singles catalogue did not consist of timeless joints and it overshadowed his album cuts that conveyed emotion and conflict where his best work was found...but technically he was a solid as it gets.

Excluding body of work, but just when it comes to technically rappin who's the top 20? Mine in no order would be something like....

1: Big Daddy Kane
2: Big Pun
3: K-Rino
4: Pharaohe Monch
5: Rakim
6: AZ
7; Bizzy Bone
8: KRS-One
9: Big L
10: Percee P
11: Chino XL
12: Twista
13: Slick Rick
14: 2 Pac
15: Common
16: Nas
17: Kool G Rap
18: Z-Ro
19: LL Cool J
20: Kool Moe Dee

I realize am missing a lot of people out, but just a quick rough list.

how pac and Krs better than Nas and g rap technically?

 

[Eternal Tecate]

Blu deserves a mention

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

i would put Royce, Gift of Gab and Guru on that list. Phonte shud get honorable mention.

 

[H.J.Duck]

as long as

Kool G
Pun
Em
Crooked I
& Elzhi

are on the list, I dont care who the other 15 are.. there's a lot of good mc's who deserve to be mentioned but that's my top 5.

Well then maybe we need to break down what elements make a rapper great technically. As far as Ja...what was it that he lacked technically? His flow? His cadence? His rhythm? His timing? See you just cant be out here talkin just to be talkin...break it down for a nikka. He's not top 20 because there were so many technical greats...but we need to define technical in more depth from the names I am seeing mentioned in this thread.

I thought of Grand Puba, was gonna add him to the in contention. Treach I mentioned as in contention. Rule was good, not sure he'd crack a top 20 though. I disagree about Mega, I think Mega is fantastic technically.

if you listen to Mega without a beat then yes, he would sound technically proficient. he cant ride a beat though. he is like a less lyrical version of AZ with a less smooth flow and off-timing.
