[jpeirpont]

Self explanatory.

 

[Patrician]

Pac.

Self explanatory.

 

[The Deacon]

D O C !

 

[appolyon]

No ICE T? No Eazy E? No Dr Dre? ... and no ******* Anne Hathaway? What kind of poll is this?

 

[grundletaint]

i see common and not mos def. threadFAIL

 

[adamsnez]

bad options.

tonedeff though

 

[romafan]

Who sang "Mr. Dabolina"? Del the Funky Homosapien?

I've never heard of half of these people, and don't know any 'raps' from most of the ones I have heard of. Grandmaster Flash & Melly Mell

, LL CoolJ 'Can't Livve w/o my Radio', once saw Ice Cube and his hugely-breasted wife(?) going into the Apple store (and know his work from SVU)....

I have heard some French rap which had strong North African(?) musical undertones that I find far preferable (even though I can't understand it) to the very 'unmusical', barebones type of rap you hear here....

Steve Earle raps a little bit on his new record

From your list:

1. Big Poppa
2. Nasty Nas
3. The Prophecy Professor
4. Hova
5. 2Pac
6. Rick tha Ruler

 

[Augusto86]

No Vanilla Ice?

 

[Southern-Nupe]

I like Nas....followed by Andre 3000 and Soldier Boy.


even though I'm a Dre 3000 fan, many people sleep on Big Boi's skills.

Many of the people were named for the hell of it. Mos nor Common stand no chance of winning.

I kept Soulja Boy off the list as to make it fair, I wanted it to be competetive with no clear winner.

 

[Fade to Black]

2Pac or Andre 3000...i voted Andre. Pac is more grounded and makes music the whole world can relate to...Andre is a bit more cerebral. Hard to choose between them.

Dr. Dre? He does a very good job of delivering the lyrics written for him by others, but I never considered him an MC.

Get your old ass out the thread

. His name is Ice Pick not Ice Cube, Ice Cube was in Boys in the Hood, and Are We There Yet.

wow - I'm shocked to be the only vote for Biggie... is there a bug in the poll software?
