hiphop Who's in your top 5 DOA

[Trilliam]

Mods your time.

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Im not even biting that bait

You gotta be Tulse or Plow

No way you actually believe what your typing you just want a reaction

[Corrigan]

how do i want a reaction?

everything i'm saying is TRUTH

Ice Cube was the driving force behind arguably the greatest group of all time and the most influential

He has 3 certified CLASSIC solo albums, let alone his work with NWA and WESTSIDE CONNECTION

He is a multi-platinum artist and has never sold out

Scarface has 2 certified CLASSIC solo albums, and again that is dicounting his work with the Geto Boyz, who again were a hugely influential group

Eminem is a corny hill-billy, who makes the odd good / thought-provoking song, but in general has been using the same wasted concepts and gimmicks since '99. Eminem has more skill, but he is never going to be better lyrically or as a complete artist, don't let eminem's multi's fool you into think he is an amazing lyricist.

Skinnyman and Klashnekoff are both better than eminem imo. Council Estate of Mind and Sagas Of, are better than any album released by eminem

[Natty]

wait scarface has a second classic album?

why wasnt i informed?

[Corrigan]

diary and the fix are both classics and both recieved 5 Mics from the source

[Mame Biram Diouf]

THIS CANT BE LIFE

[Natty]

I SHOULD HAVE GOT 5 MICS IN THE SOURCE

INSTEAD I GOT 5 BRICKS IN THE PORSCHE

THEY SAY I AINT LYRICAL (HAHAHA)

I WOULDNT TRY IMPRESS YA'LL NIGGAS

IF HATING WAS A CRIME THEY'D ARREST YA'LL NIGGAS

SEE THE HOOD C/S'D THE STREETS GAVE ME MY STRIPES

[NO SUNSHINE]

THIS CANT BE LIFE

for real

he's saying Ice Cube is better than Prodigy?

I'm shocked at how few ppl have P in their top 5 tbh. He would be #1 on my list still.

[Nola D]

Snoop Dogg has been a novelty figure for such a long time that I just can't understand someone putting him in their top five.

i agree but to take the phrase from someone who posted above its probo a 'retrospective rating'

he is better the majority of p's songs are just about the same old hood sh*t or some paranoid rants about illuminati

ice cubes content is far superior

and lol @ how badly p has fallen off

ice cubes worst period was when he dropped war and peace 1 nd 2,nd even they had some f*cked tunes like ghetto vet

and that period was nowhere near as bad as prodigys prolonged decline

when was the last tym p dropped anything noteworthy?

Return Of The Mac was f*ck*ng ill, but that was like 3 yrs ago I suppose.

But Ice Cube's been sh*t since like 1996.

Neither of them have ever hit the heights of their respective groups with their solo records IMO.

[Trilliam]

Mobb Deep >> NWA and I can say that confidently without so much as listening to an EP of Ice Cube, Ice Cube, Ice Cube, Ren and Dre.

[Guest WAVESURFER]

Mobb Deep >> NWA

I love both of them, I don't think I could pick a favourite, music wise.

[streets.]

Nas (based on 6 albums and features)

Scarface (based on 1 album & features)

Jada (based on 1 album & features)

Biggie (based on first 2 albums)

Jay-Z (based on 2 albums)

from Nas downwards, the list changes depending on my mood to include Raekwon, 2Pac, Mobb etc

Boy what are people talking, skills or preference?

If its skills, certain artists deserve to be nowhere near any of these lists.

Big L

Biggie

Big Pun

AZ

Nas

^Lyrically & flowwise, noone can really touch the above

Content, perhaps you could argue, but then they have all made 'deeper' songs, just regularly chose not to.

Id like to add I've deliberately left out the Wu as it would make my list read something like halfway through the start of the intro to M.E.T.H.O.D. Man.

Pac

Common

Mos

Talib

Black Thought (I probably should have put him in)

Slick Rick

Masta Ace

and a host of others I cant remember atm get (a massive) honorable mention

[Michel Kane]

Today's climate?
