Oh no problem albino that was directed at thegreatkazoo and his crazy ideas about kanye lol Please don't put diddy in any category besides average because he really has no ****ing skill lol
I have no problems with Kanye--I am just saying that accident had a lot to do with his success.

And why the hells isn't Jay Dee (aka Jay Dilla) not on the Masters list? :confused:

The accident really had a minimal impact on his success lol Yeah he recorded a great song afterwards, but that's all. Kanye West would definitely have been big without that song. Even after his accident he had to pay for all his own recordings and videos because Jay-Z wouldn't take him seriously until he forced him to listen to it. A guy like Kanye West would have been big no matter what it was just a matter of time before he blew up and got recognized. His personality and perseverance, while they can be annoying, are a big part of why he is successful. lol

How in the world is Em in Masters? He's below Soulja Boy. Kanye/Jeezy/Lupe all atleast above average.



Gucci Mane La Flare. Da Legend.

Infinite - 1996 - "Backstabber"

Verse 1:
There's a joker on the loose from the psychiatric ward
His face is up on the bulletin board with a reward
He'll stab you with a sword don't be fooled by his charm
He's probably armed with intent to do bodily harm
Ring the alarm, look for a man with green hair
Check at your girl's house, he was last seen there
He's has a mean stare but usually crack's jokes
Good luck on your mission and guard your backs folks

Verse 2:
We got the walkie-talkies to keep us all informed
Suited up head to toe in detective uniforms
Our unit storms in, we split the ghetto in sectors
Locking down every block and put up metal detectors
Protectors and be sure that you stand close
Watch each others backs and guard your command post
And most of all be advised that he's wise
He could be disguised as one of your very own guys...

DUB, Em is nasty.

Yay for opinions! lol most of those are really nice man, I'll admit I'm biased towards songs that have more of an old school feel; I wouldn't sleep on Infinite though.

Yeah don't get me wrong I LOVE infinite, just concerning the most ridiculous stuff Em has ever said I dont think most of the tracks are as hot as his more recent ill stuff.

313 and Maxine have the most creative lines IMO. Every track is good though, so to each his own.

Mostly all people on above average should be lower, some much lower. i cant stand seeing people like TI be above eazy. But i agree with pac, hes clearly the best, ders so much people dont know about him too, he should have his own tier, btw check my youtube channel favs-

RIP

Oh, and dre and snoop should be legends imo lol

Jay-Z is a legend without a doubt, he is in the discussion for best rapper of all time too. Not having him in legend tier is just ****ing crazy lol
Same with dre and snoop but i thought about it, the legend tier should probaly be more for deceased rappers, or else nas would prob be ther too.

Sugarhill Gang had a couple of good songs, they were average rappers at best, but are only revered because they are old school and were one of the first rap groups to have a rap single that performed well, but as rappers they weren't actually that good. lol

Also dre and snoop are legends of rap for both their longevity and content, but I just wish Dr. Dre actually wrote most of the good lyrics that he rapped, but between his production skills and association with other acts he is definitely a legend.

You really have no idea what you are talking about Mooney if you think Sugarhill Gang belongs in Legend Tier lol I'm willing to bet anything that you are just saying Sugarhill Gang because you once heard the song Rapper's Delight and that's it. If you actually listened to more of their songs than Rapper's Delight, which lyrically isn't that great but is still a classic song, than you would realize that there is absolutely no way they should be near Legend Tier.

But if being put in legend tier has to do with impact on the game, which they showed rappers could have a really successful hit on a national level, then by all means put them in legends tier.

However, if it's based on skill then there is absolutely no way they are near legends and would be at the bottom of above average at best.

I never said they were supposed to be in "legends", lol.

I'm just saying they were some of the first successful rappers and that they should be on the list, which they are now.

Don omar is specifically latino. go learn some spanish or get some translated lyrics :)

and seriously, pay some respects to the REAL legends of the game.

sugarhill gang, all day.
How else is that supposed to be construed? And go ahead name someone from the group I'll wait while you google it.

Okay what you had was definitely different before editing, and I know you didn't mean that they were successful rappers because they were pioneers in some sense because you stated that you thought they were better than 99% of rap today, but that's okay this is over. lol
