Your Top 5 Rappers.. With a Caveat.....

[JoelB]

Q-Tip if he doesnt get excluded for his appearance on JBs album in 1988.


And DOOM could get tripped up on a technicality too.

Nah Doom gets a pass.

KMD came out in the early 90's.

Common
Kanye
Lupe
Krayzie Bone
Andre 3000

Didn't know if I could use Scarface since he debuted with the Geto Boys in the 80s (saw cats putting Cube down despite being with NWA), otherwise, he'd be on here.

 

[Brady-Carter]

DOOM
Sean Price
Saigon
Cormega
Devin The Dude
Large Professor
Redman
Monch

Redman, on point with him big Mel. He is moving into my list. I feel ashamed for forgetting him.

Is Devin the Dude really a rapper? More like a precursor for Frank Ocean(Who I like) no?

Devin the Dude is very different from Frank Ocean. Devin the Dude is more like a singer/rapper. Good choice though.

You right pool....

But I am not going to lie, I really think Frankie is a product of Devin's style..

Might be a reach. b/c like you say Pool, Devin could rap(Which is me agreeing with your singer/rapper point)..

 

[Big Mel]

Frank Ocean couldn't be any further from what Devin is. And I like Frank.

CRS was pretty much a collabo since they only did one track together. And I consider the Diplomats a crew instead of a group. Same with State Prop. I left out Cam cause of Children of the Corn and left out Busta cause of Leaders of the New School.

two tracks actually. they did one for GOOD Friday and of course US Placers.

It makes no sense he never came out with a solo album. I know he had a deal with DJ Lethal, but it fell true. Even though D.I.R.T production was up to par, the shyt Roc was spittin' was epic.
