mTV's greatest emcee's

it should be a known fact by now that mTV recently published a list of the 10 greatest emcee's that hip-hop has seen and i'm gonna speak my mind on their decisions.



1. kanye west- you already know how i feel about 'Ye right now, he's hott and no one is seeing him thus far. he's ahead of the game, hell he is at his prime and i don't have many people that i feel could top him at #1 right now, but if we were speaking about consistency then i would without a doubt put young hova in his position.

2. jay z- jay is extravagant, he is good at what he does but will the man ever really stay retired? he putts out the greatest music and has one of the finest chickz in the game, jay z deserves to be at #2 if not #1. he's been in the game for a minute and he knows the trickz of the trade if he wasn't always claiming to be retired he would respectively be the king pin

3. lil wayne- he's a bad-ass mofo and no one can stop him as of now, he is definitely the greatest freestyler alive and i'd put my money on him being the greatest rapper alive. he is on at all times but his works are leaked too quickly, i have put a stop to downloading anything with weezy in it until the Carter III drops but he is numero 3

4. rick ross- i'm skeptical about this one, ross is good but is he great? i feel there are better people like lupe and andre3000 that could surpass him, actually to be true i don't believe he deserves to be anywhere in the top 5. i totally disagree with this one.

5. snoop dogg- honestly you put this guy after rick ross? it must be a joke, snoop d-o-double gizzay is not new to the game and he won't be leaving anytime soon. he puts our superb music and he topped the charts with sexual eruption (we are dirty around here), the guy looks like he is past 40, he has probably past his prime but when he retires the game will surely miss him

6. 50cent- curtis fiddy jackson may have been allowed to be in the top 5 if he were in his prime, when Get Rich or Die Tryn' came out but since then the man has slacked drastically putting more effort in being an entrepreneur then in his music, nonetheless he puts out jamz and you can't hate him for it

7. lupe fiasco- young lulu reppn FNF till he dies is the young sensation, he's new to the mainstream game but he acts like he isn't. his albums are top-notch competing with the bests and he is never belittled, it's sad to hear that he will be done shortly but i'm expecting lupEND to be magnificent wait for it after the jump (btw, i think lupe is greater than rick ross)

8. young jeezy- the man came into the game with diddy's boyz n tha hood, and realized he didn't need the group to shine, he left and walked into success. i have this guy being one of the top 3 spitterz in the game at the moment the snowman is here to stay

9. andre 3000- why is this man number #9, he is easily in the top 3 and for the longest period of time outkast brought the hottest music to the game whether you classified it as hip-hop, rock, or rap. andre 3000 is sophisticated and fire, i disagree with his placement.

10. t.i.- last but not least our man clifford tip harris, ends the list. ti is not one of my favorite rappers but he is good, i'm not sure if he's in my top 10, in fact i don't think he's in my top 20; however, the man is good

you've heard my opinion now let me give you my top 10 w/o any explanations, i want you to dwell on em

1. andre 3000
2. lil wayne
3. jay z
4. lupe fiasco
5. snoop dogg
6. kanye
7. jeezy
8. bun-b
9. nas
10. ll cool j

(wasn't much of 2pac or biggie head, they were great lyricist but they weren't me)

i defffff gosta second ur rick ross. he aint shit. he dont deserve to be in the top 10. wtf? and i do agree dat nas needs to be up there. its sucks that hes not dat mainstream. kanye west def deserves to be in the top, same for jay z, lil wayne, snoop, lupe, t.i., andre3000. jeezy's pretty nice but hes not in mah top. and 50is iight. i mean i gotta give props on get rich or die tryin but most of his otha shit is wack.
