My top 10 WRONGs of this list.
Letâs start off with the fact that 3 of my favorite emcees of all time are not even in their top 50 NY??? This is a bad start.
1) AZ was the guy who made me fall in love with multi syllabic rhyming and is a part of multiple classic albums.
2) Masta Ace has been a consistent force in Hip Hop since 1988 and has been releasing incredible albums all the way to current day.
3) Pharoahe Monch literally changed the way people rhyme like 3 times and has delivered some of the most mind bending verses we ever heard.
4) Kool G Rap who is in most lyricists top 5, at worst top 10, comes in at 30? 30?? For my money he can switch places with 50 at #6 spot.
5) If we are being honest, DMC had more quotable lines than Run.
6) Deck instead of Ja Rule.
7) Grandmaster Caz instead of Jim Jones.
8) Cam instead of Pop Smoke.
9) Nikki must be just click bait cuz you canât tell me she raps better than KRS, Method Man, Big LâŚ
10) Styles P can NOT be 46. This guy doesnât have wack verses, ever.
And this is just off the top of the dome!
OkayâŚletâs hear it. Whatâs got you annoyed or heated from this. Go!!
