Look, I'm old, in my 40s. but these are my rap rankings. I would love to hear your disagreemens.

Rakim – For the youngsters, Erik B and Rakim were greatness. Listen to Paid in Full and I Ain’t No Joke. Rakim is a NYC master and legend.
Dr. Dre – NWA and west coast rap defined my youth even though I preferred east coast artists. Dre was the best on the west coast IMO.
Q-Tip: The maestro. Tribe is my favorite rap group of all-time. I could listen to Low End Theory and/or Midnight Marauders daily and be happy. Q-Tip flowed like no other.
Nas – Every time I hear him I think how great he is. Not remarkable but so solid
Pac – I appreciated his passion and anger. I was big fan of Digital Underground before Pac blew up. The Sex Packets album is great. I was a fan of every album Pac released.
Jay Z – West coast legend and well deserved. Gets bonus points for Beyoncé.
Kendric Lamar – my favorite millennial rapper.
Biggie – Not a huge fan but I realized his greatness.
KRS One – no one under 40 knows him but another NYC legend. Boogie Down Productions had a lot. To stand out in NYC in 90s you had to be great, and he was.
Eazy E – RIP Eric. I loved Eaxy’s high pitched voice. He was Compton before Compton was cool.
Chuck D – I LOVED Public Enemy. Chuck D always had a message in his rap and he hated the establishment, and I appreciated that. Flava gets a mention.
D.O.C. – Probably shouldn’t be this high but I’ll give a nod to a Dallas guy (The Formula). Along with Erykah Badu, Nora Jones, Leon Bridges, St. Vincent, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and Post Malone (giving the millennials a voice on the last three), the best Dallas musical artists over the last 30 years.

Eminem – I know I probably should have him top 12, and I realize his greatness but it my top 12 and he didn’t make it.
Too Short –

1. Rakim: Wichita St. – I think Marshall is the best coach in the AAC and they are under the radar this year, just like Rakim.
2. Dre: Houston – So talented and the rep is well deserved.
3. Q-Tip: Cincy – Just like Tip, understated but always great. Despite Cronin, they will still be a factor.
4. Nas: Memphis – The ranking is all on potential. Will they live up to it?
5. Pac: SMU – Just like Pac everyone discounts the Ponies despite being a 2-time champ. Always have something to prove, hence the anger.
6. Jay Z: Temple – A legend and people take them for granted. They won’t do much this year but every time we play them at Moody I think about how cool it is to be playing Temple in our building.
7. Kendric: USF – The new wave. I’m a 100% believer but I respect their talent.
8. Biggie: UConn – an east coast legend. About to be gone - Wilshire Ave.
9. KRS One: UCF – Dawkins has done a great job and should’ve beat Duke last year. No one respects them but they are talented.
10. Eazy E: Tulane – I’m always a believer in NOLA. Like Eazy, flashy with something. This might be the year they make a small move.
11. Chuck D: Tulsa – Tulsa should be honored to be linked to Chuck D. I think Haith is a terrible HC and they are going nowhere. Sorry, Chuck.
12. D.O.C.: ECU - Respect to D.O.C., none to ECU.

Rankings so good, you had to share it 4 times..i respect it

No Ice Cube and no Lil Wayne. What's up with that?

OLD. You are so old?

At this point in human history, 40 is right smack in the middle, dude.

You're gonna be middle-aged until you're in your mid-60's.

Enough of this "old" bull$hit. Don't need to limit yourself like that.

Second of all - you've posted the same post three times. Takes 15 seconds to delete the repeat posts.

Well, before the other threads get deleted, here’s my brilliant observation from thread four

Now gimme a beat....

RICE: Eminem. We all know, you probably should have us top 12, AND YOU REALIZE OUR GREATNESS. But it is your top 12 and we didn’t make it.
(Yet)

It does give whole new meaning to “Lose Yourself” though

No Snoop... WTF? He was revolutionary. Cant mention Dre without Snoop.

No Cube? NWA was instrumental in the rise of rap.

then theres nothing of the OGs from the 70s and early 80s... alot of talent that built the entire basis of rap.
