Nope. Most rappers in the list exceeds in the things that put them as contenders, but they all have short comings too. Tech holds a touch of all the things that make those rappers great. So if I absolutely had to choose it would be Tech because I feel he has song that can fit on any playlist.

I agree with this.

This not so much. I've listened to a crap load of Tech and I wouldn't place him near the top for best rapper he does deserve honorable mention though.

I also think it's missing LL Cool J and some Wu Tang. Like, all 3 members of NWA get put in, two of them didn't even write their lyrics, but no Wu Tang artist? Ghostface or RZA could get a spot.

Lamar in the lead demonstrates a horrible understanding of hip hop history among the members of this forum.

It has more to do with Kendrick still being in his prime. Three albums deep that are regarded as instant classics and people are still feeling the buzz. Where as, Eminem is past his prime. Not saying that he isn't still good but MMLP2 wasn't an instant classic like SSLP or MMLP or even Eminem Show and all of those came out a decade ago.

It's too prong:

1) bull**** hype for a boring overrated rapper with one really good song (ADHD)
2) brutal ignorance

Lamar has never and will never release a classic, instant or otherwise.

In my eyes, and most hip hop fans' eyes, Section 80, GKMC and TPAB were all instant classics. He might be boring to you but not to others. I personally find Lil' Wayne to be boring and in general horrible and would much rather listen to Game but I don't feel Game has innovated or inspired enough people or even done anything special enough to be considered when Wayne has. And it's not brutal ignorance when I'm sure most of his fans know where his influence came from. In fact, a lot of his popularity comes from people who do respect the history and feel he is bringing back the spirit of hip hop in it's 'glory' days.

Who do you feel deserves the votes BTW?

To Pimp a Butterfly was widely regarded the best album of last year by multiple and numerous outlets. It wasn't my favorite album of the year and it obviously wasn't yours but I think saying that album won't become a classic based on your opinion on it is a bit silly. Like, I HATE Guns N Roses but I still acknowledge Appetite for Destruction as a classic 80's metal ablum regardless if I like it or not.

OK

I don't care about the semantics of classic

He's a bore

Lil Wayne is even duller

Biggie is the obvious pick on that **** list
