Not preaching and I didn't take your tone as hostile.

I get what your saying. I just feel like your's has more direction even though I don't agree with your choices. I know how all of the artists sound on both lists and his just seems to be a jumbled pile of favorites where as yours seems like you are basing it around certain criteria, which is kind of the point I was trying to make.

no not really those are just the best rappers to me.. i don't break it down by criteria i just think about who has impressed me the most over the years. probably what it boils down to is i have better taste in rap than he does to you which is why you don't like his list as much.

like honestly i can't understand why anyone would put fabolous or lloyd banks on any top 10 list that isn't titled "top 10 most mediocre rappers" but i couldn't sit here with a straight face and say that there's any objectivity to that opinion. to me objectivity is sort of all or nothing. there is no 'objectivity in subjectivity' or however you put it.

actually i think i want to swap pac out for ice cube.

You can make a Top 10 list of "Most important" or "Significant" rappers, and even that is completely subjective. But that's not what this is about. It's who you consider to be the Top 10 of All-Time.
