Well, what the hell else can you really expect? When you call it a "greatest hip hop artist/group ever" thread, do you really think the obvious answers won't be brought up?
And, uh, you want a greatest of all-time polling thing (which is not an atypical thread idea at all, so you can't be annoyed with anticipating many answers), but you want people to nominate artists that CLEARLY are not eligible to be nominated for the position?
Why? is good, but the Why? project is hip hop influenced and only drifts further from it as time goes on. Yoni Wolf (which is maybe what he meant by Why?) is an incredible rapper, though. I just can't really fathom him as a consideration for "greatest hip hop artist ever." He's got the cLOUDDEAD self-titled album under his belt, and Ten is really good too, but he hasn't done enough to reach that status.
