Stick to google maps, especially if you’re Caucasian. You wouldn’t want to come around my way. Trust me.

Masta ace is so underrated - no one tells a story like him, not Guru, not any cat from Wutang - nobody. Masta Ace top 10 for sure… I mean if you got Em top 10 you have to have Ace since em got his flow from ace.

Homie, I understand that this list is based on opinion but your list is REALLY suspect. If you know ANYTHING about hip hop, you know that DR. Dre wrote NONE of his rhymes, Snoop, Eminem and Jay - Z wrote a lot of his shit. If you didn’t write your own rhymes you don’t belong on this list. Dr. Dre belongs in the PRODUCER category.
Second you know Erik B was just Rakim’s DJ right? He seriously never said a fucking WORD on 90% of all their albums together. I think he did come out with a solo album in the 90’s that was straight TRASH. Judging by your post intelligence I doubt you are old enough to remember that album.
Third. Ice T even though he is an early pioneer in rap he doesn’t belong anywhere on this list of Top Ten of ALL TIME.
Finally Method Man is a Second Tier member of Wu-Tang based on rhyme strength and consistency. Who would be first tier you may ask?
GZA
Inspectah Deck
Raekwon
Ghostface
ODB
So in summation your knowledge of rap and rap history is extremely limited and most of your posts aren’t worth the effort to read. Also there are some “WB” on this sight that have waaay more rap cred and knowledge of rap history then your dumb “Crooklyn” livin ass.
As for my top ten list. In no particular order
Nas
Common
Talib Kweli
Mos Def
Biggie
Q Tip
Lupe Fiasco
Rakim
Andre 3000
Jay Z
Hon. Mention: Cee Lo, Snoop(one of the best ACTUAL freestylers in the game), Eminem, Canibus.
Jay-Z
Rakim
LL Cool J
Andre 3000
Mos Def
Big Daddy Kane
Black Thought
Snoop
Chuck D
Ludacris
I couldn’t put pac or biggie on my list because quite frankly they were good but not great. I think people just started jumping on the bandwagon when they were killed.
No Will Smith?

Underrated as hell. A lot of rappers who got famous [Fab, 50 Cent, Kanye West] looked up to him or borrowed elements of his style. One of the best, if not the best flow in rap history.
I also think Harlem World [and Life After Death] really laid the blueprint for the artistic pop rap album more than any Jay-Z record did. My first favourite pop song was Feel So Good, too-lol. I think I was 5 or 6 years old.

glad you agree with me about mase, i get alot of laughs when i say how much i like him. gamechanger and king of the shiny suit wearing rap era.
edit - i forgot to put pusha t on my list, cant believe i did that i listen to clipse at least once a week…
i like biggy, i genuinley thing he did alot to the rap game. it sucks that his songs have gotten to mainstream but i always liked his flow. i liked tupac a little when i was younger but i dont think he was particularly talented.

The only thing I’m gonna disagree with here is putting Ghostface ahead of Method Man. Ghostace’s lyrics make absolutely no sense. He just says a whole bunch of random shit that sometimes doesn’t even rhyme. I’ve never understood why people like Ghostface.

I can understand why you would say that if were talking about early Ghostface, but from Supreme Clientele and on Ghost has fast become one of the best hip hop story tellers
Example:
I have MANY other examples if you would like for validation.
He does get surreal in some of his rhymes though but if you get down with his linguistics then you can easily follow the dopeness.
Lyrics:
[Ghostface Killah]
Yo
Aye yo I’m lost underwater
I see a pink door with a crystal handle, so I keep swimmin
Amazed that I’m not drownin
Butterflies took control when I arrived, I opened the door
No I knocked first, I’m not on my turf
I seen a ray of lights that resemble live fireworks
Some mermaids with Halle Berry haircuts flashin they tail
Like follow me now, don’t be afraid
I’ma show you where all the djinns and spirits pray
If you scared to face this life you shouldn’t stay
So I kept on swimmin, grabbed on to her fin to help me out
As we got close I seen the boat all shot up with his anchor out
Then she asked me politely what I’m thinkin about
I said nuttin - she said nuttin leaves nuttin
If you fill me up bet this’ll bring that out
I seen rubies, diamonds, smothered under octopus
Jellyfish sharks soar, aquaproof pocketbook
Pearls on the mermaid girls
Gucci belts that they rock for no reason from a different world
Up ahead lies Noah’s Ark, but that’s waves away
And way to the right, that’s one of our bangin spas
She quoted I took notice, Spongebob in the Bentley Coupe
Bangin the Isleys, he slow backed up
Then he passed me swoop, seen his chick eyein me hard
He got vexed and smacked his boo
Took off, continued my travels
Seen a rock from the Titanic
Lookin fat and nah it wasn’t damaged
Then I seen somethin real big, sky blue and gold
with whitewalls, behind a large city
That was lost before Christ walked the walk
upon the waters that’s so bright
Everytime we got close the mermaid held on tight
All I heard was “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar”
“Bismillah ar-Rahman, ar-Raheem, Allah screamed”
That we heard from afar, everyone selat
And the world’s banginest minds got crowded in
With life that I can’t explain
They said sir yes I’m glad you came, greeted me with Qu’rans and Torahs
Prayed after that we said amen
It is one of his most surreal rhymes but IMO one of his illest. The part that sticks out to me is the passage about Spongebob driving a Bentley Coup. Ghost is a GODDAMNED LEGEND.
If you need further proof Flash Buy and or Download The Fishscale Album. As a matter of fact type search for that album in Metacritic.com and see that it was one of the most acclaimed albums of the year.
I know your a hip hop head so trust me, if you don’t like Ghost after this, then he just isn’t your cup of tea.
