Will smith , top 10 mc?

[Mike809]

i always been a fan of will smith's music growing up , one of my favorites being the men in black song but i always wondered why he doesn't get mentioned as much as other black rappers in a top 10 list? or even top 20?
is it because of his kid-friendly lyrics? i do feel that he deserves more recognition in the music world for his positive songs and not about the killing of other black people. Or has he done any c00nish activity that i might not be aware of?

i do wish more modern rappers would follow his style , instead of rapping about drugs/guns and hoes.

Didn't Rakim write "summertime"? Shouldn't that automatically disqualify anybody from being in that top MC realm? One of his biggest songs written by another MC.

Like I said in another thread, I'll listen to the Fresh Prince's shyt before a lot of other 80s rappers' music

according to the video , Rakim didnt write the song but was offered the beat first.

"code red" is the ILLEST shyt he EVER made ...

IMO , That album alone (plus "summertime") putz him in the top 10 ...
