…Slick Rick, Rakim & Notorious B.I.G. I can’t be mad at that list at all. I can never list off a concrete top 3. Slug (of Atmosphere) and Jay-Z interchange on any given day for the top spot and number 3 is always switching. What are the dopeboyz and dopegirlz thinking of Tip’s list though?

Can’t be mad at that. Slick Rick doesn’t get the love he should.
I feel like I have some sort of disease though, I could never get into Rakim. I just need to bunker down and keep listening to his stuff though. This many people can’t be wrong.
My Top 3 has gotta be Phonte, Jay-z and Nas. Biggie, Pac, slick rick, Blu and Murs are all up there after that though.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LMAO!!!!
i got
1. Jay Z
2. Black Thought
3. Biggie
4. NaS
*5. Andre 3000*
*Kanye, Phonte, and a few others are runnin for a spot but they just need more material to judge them off of.
its good to see a LONDONER in Q-tips top 3… The art of story telling aint no 1 better than slick rick…
damn certain people u can tell maths aint their strong point, people talkin top 3 and they go give a top 5 smh lol
veraci0us: i feel like i leave ppl out when i just do three, i still felt like i left ppl out but those are my fav emcees and that list switches around alot 2 so w.e
*waits for someone to get pissed at someone else’s list and bash them even though this is all opinion*
I refuse to put them in a order, but mine are probably Joe Budden, Royce & Nas…my honorable mention: Pharaohe Monch, Lupe, Canibus
Andre 3000
Biggie
Pusha T are mine..
Jay
Black Thought
Mos Def
jaydagr8 u have to be bold bruh if u could only invite 3 artist to perform at a party who would it b dead or alive.. For me its
jayz
biggie
Common, just to switch up the vibe
Can’t hate on the mans list although mines a lil different.
1. Common
2. Hov
3. Slug
4. Notorious (would be my for sure 3 if had’nt died so young and put our more material, it’s a damn shame.)
5. Blu/Murs (depends on the day)
Can’t be mad at it either. He has a different era to come up with his list. I usually have Jay, 3000, and Nas in my top3 and the #1 spot changes every time I listen to new verse or album…
rakim
kool g rap
krs-one
Jay, Big, Nas.
1. Ghostface
2. Mos Def
3. Black Thought
I love BIG and Rakim but how can they get on anybody’s GOAT list if neither have made any good music in well over a decade?
Rakim changed the game. Just try to imagine hearing that shit with was out back then. It must have been like losing your virginity.
I think Nas is the GOAT but Biggie is also up there and Budden is by far my favorite artist…I just don’t think he’s the greatest artist of all time cuz he’s my personal favorite which is something a lot of people mistakenly do when making lists.
1. mystikal
2. lil flip
3. snoop dogg
obviously impossible to have a definite list but here goes (in no specific order):
Big Daddy Kane
Rakim
B.I.G./Jay-Z – Gotta combine them (tied for 3rd) since big wrote so much but Jay really just locked everyone with his flow and deserves the credit.
Can’t believe Pac hasn’t been mentioned yet. For me he is up there. Otherwise… Jay-z, B.I.G., Joe Budden, Nas, and Kanye. Outkast and Camp Lo for best group. Joe Budden is on my list and will stay even though he’s only put out 1 official album. He made 2 mixtapes that are classics in my opinion. I’m not counting Halfway House cause honestly I don’t know if that’s a mixtape or an album.
Pac was overrated. Nas should be up there. SMH @ Pusha T even being mentioned.
“Just because you say that you are the greatest, that doesn’t mean you are.” – lol clearly talking about Lil Wayne.
damn shout out to BIG PUN i just rememberd..
Jay
Big pun

3.nas
4.pac
5.jay-z
1. Em
2. Common
3. Lupe
————-
Redman, JayZ, Biggy, Pac & Nas could honestly be in there any given day.
1. Jay-Z
2. B.I.G.
3. Nas
Pac and Rakim round out the top five.
hilarious how popular it is to say ‘pac is over rated’ yet leave BIG up there, if pac is over rated, then big is, period.
and lol at kanye, as an emcee, he can not even hold the jock of these other dudes, if he never produced, none of us would EVER know who he is. and that is fact.
Who cares what Q-Tip thinks. Even his fans don’t care what he thinks.
[...] Santo Gold, Charles Hamilton, The Cool Kids, Pac Div and Talib Kweli. A bit of a change from the Top 3 Rappers he listed off earlier. Again I have to ask… what’s the consensus of the dopeboyz/girlz [...]
