preach.

some decent lists, I would include immortal technique, tupac, biggie, pete, rock,

1. Eminem
2. Kanye West
3. Run The Jewels
4. Tech N9ne
5. Killer Mike
6. El-P
7. Prozak
8. Iggy Azalea
9. Kreayshawn (I ran out of rap artists that I like, don't judge me)
10. Nicki Minaj (See above^)

Personally I'd judge you more for Eminem than those last two!

Killer Mike, El-P. Run the Jewels.. Lol, bloat much?

My top 10, in no particular order.

1. Wu-tang
2. Method Man
3. GZA
4. RZA
5. Raekwon
6. Inspectah Deck
7. ODB
8. Ghostface
9. Master Killa
10. U-God

Get at me..

I'm not all that up on rap as much as I should be. I just needed to fill it in the best I could. I do like their solo work though. I wish there was a guide on this forum for people getting into Hip-Hop or Rap.

EDIT: So who is going to make the 1001 thread then?

Why is RTJ and Killer Mike above El-P is the real question.

Don't ask me I wouldn't put them on a top 10 list of any sort. :D
