JT is not that good of a singer. He is just average.

I can name 5 other people right now on the radio that sings better than him.

And he damn sure don't sing better than MJ... excuse my french

Forward To Death

The Beatles have 3 great albums, and I wouldn't even consider Sgt. Peppers to be their best work, that title would have to go to the S/T "White Album". I'd even say Abbey Road was a little bit better, but all of them are pretty great.

Stillmatic is OK, but I wouldn't even put it in the same category as Illmatic. Production on "Still" is very flat, and sounds more like a Jay-Z record with Nas rapping on it.

Not heard of the first two dudes.

Massive disagree on Stillmatic > Illmatic, but that's a conversation that's already been had.
If there was one unpopular Nas opinion, I'd like to voice it's that I Am...The Autobiography is actually really good and was unfairly critically shat on.

Well, the criteria for top 20 rappers is a bit shady, if it's purely personal taste, than there is no right or wrong answer nor definitive list.
In terms of rappers who were best technically, (or actually best at rapping) Biggie's got to be in the Top 20 somewhere. His albums suffered from Diddy's influence and dumb segues more than anything else.
Take the track 'Suicidal Thoughts' for example. Would have been a proper great track if it wasn't for Puff Daddy talking all over it.

On the subject of hip-hop. My supposed 'unpopular' opinion is that 80's hip hop was far more gimmicky and of poorer quality than anything released in the present day.

Agreed on JT > MJ, I've never had any desire to listen to any Jacko album. And 20/20 Experience was 4.5* for me.

I never said he was a better singer than MJ. Doubt anybody who's heard both would.
