MTV released their list of the Top Ten Emcees In the Game:
1. Jay-Z
2. Lil Wayne
3. Drake
4. Kanye West
5. Rick Ross
6. Gucci Mane
7. Young Jeezy
8. Fabolous
9. 50 Cent
10. Raekwon
2. Lil Wayne
3. Drake
4. Kanye West
5. Rick Ross
6. Gucci Mane
7. Young Jeezy
8. Fabolous
9. 50 Cent
10. Raekwon
I am scratching my head and giving the side eye at some of those. Fabolous? Jeezy? Gucci Mane? Officer Ricky? What has 50 Cent made in the past few years except YouTube disses and pornos with Officer Ricky's various babymamas? Where are Ludacris, Common, T.I. and the like? I really like Raekwon, but he hasn't made anything lately either. If we are going to include folks who haven't recorded in a while then most of these dudes would be excluded in favor of some of the people who paved the way for them. Who would you put on your top ten list?
Def. TI and Luda. I would keep Jay-Z #1 obviously.
