He knows exactly what the hell he is talking about, amazing how dudes trying to get in the game trying to over ride somebody who is accomplished. He’s not working with Jay for nothin..He didnt go on tour with big names on tour for nothing.. Open ya mind and hear what hes speaking, he’s a smart dude!!

1. 2Pac – he touched on all bases; politics, real family relationships, partying, the after life, gang related issues & our struggles. you name it & this cat already wrote it.

2. Andre 3000 – he’s so far ahead of the hip-hop game you might as well put him 1st now before this is all said & done.

3. Mos Def – needs to lace up more tracks & he’d be running 2nd w/ 3 stacks. this cat is freakin’ supa-dope.

4. Nas – the boys got some deep thoughts. mix up your flows Nasir Jones & you might get more props.

5. Bigz – had the nicest flows but, was just a boaster on the roller coaster. still give ya a big up for trying.

6. Jay Z – “The Corruptor”! the biggest boaster of all-time & NEVER had one single deep track. Pretentious J-Hova. what a shame & a waste of flow skills.

7. Rakim – Dr. J of the hip-hop game.

8. Ice Cube – the heart & the coldest emcee of NWA.

9. Scarface – the best from the Dirty South. UGK will even admit to it.

10. Snoop – the dopest voice to touch the mic. so fresh & funkydelic.

HONORABLE MENTION: goes to GrandMaster Flash, Melle Mel, Talib Kweli, Common, LL Cool J, KRS-One, Chuck D., Eminem; if this white boy had NEVER dogged on his Mom & his gal Kim in his songs he would’ve gotten way much more props, respect & a higher ranking. NOW, imagine if it was an African rapper who was talking crazy about killing his gal & having that much hate towards his Mom like Em had spitted in his rhymes.. they; police officers would’ve taken that African rapper to jail eventually!!! you noticed they just left M&M alone.) just like what Pac said “white man’s world”.

Can’t Believe nobody has mentioned Big L I rate him alot higher than Jay-Z. Not sure who make up my list but I would have Eminem,Nas,Big L,Joe Budden & Big Pun in their no particular order .The reason 2Pac & Biggie aint made the list is because I was 2 young to listen to these two greatest when they were alive. Honorable metion to Krs-One, Big Daddy Kane,Rakim,AZ & Scarface.

This was a good interview. He is the first one I heard give the real explanation on Kindom Come. Funny Jay never said it cause he didnt want to sound like he was making an excuse

i somewhat agree w/ his top 5 but id have nas in there and im torn between eminem or andre 3000, pac isnt in my top 5 jus cuz lyrically he was average, had no punchlines, or witty lines 4 that matter but he was influential thats why hes usually in everybody’s top 5 but not mine sorry
