the good ones are the did dead ones, they don't have to that schtick anymore

Nelly should be higher on the list as well as Chingy. Will Smith does not deserve to be on that list and neither does 2 Live Crew

You're right, of course. I didn't want an answer.





Seriously, I recognize that there are differences between them, and that some are better to listen to than others. I honestly think that rappers are really just poets rather than musicians, though. Look at beat poets from the 1960s and rappers are clearly closer to them than they are to singing groups.

I've got no major problem with rap, but it's not music, it's poetry.

yeah, that's a far analogy... Beat Poets had hippy chicks... Rappers have 'hos :shrug:

This list is a traveshamockery, evidenced by one omission....

No "Snow" (Informer) at number one.

Nerdcore.

Rob O'Connor aka Elton Lil' John.

I kinda like Nelly.

And I also wondered how Snow didn't make the list

I had that Bobby Jimmy and the Critters... FECKING hilarious. Too bad I cant track it down... I laughed my ass off as a kid. Rap Parody... awesome.

Soulja Boy is missing his place on top. Ya doo doo head dummy.

ZootedGranny 06-13-2008 09:53 PM

I can't hate on Soulja Boy.

Two years ago I see him on Youtube dancing at his mom's house, then a year later I'm listening to his first bootleg release, then I hear he gets signed, next thing you know stadiums around the world are playing his music and athletes are dancing to his song after touchdowns.

His music is shit, but if cats can make millions of dollars rapping about making millions selling crack, I can't be mad that some teenager is having fun and saying "SUPERMAN THAT HOE" over snap beats.

YAAAHHHHHH BITCH YAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Deberg_1990 06-13-2008 10:08 PM

No Snow "Informer" on this list??

POND_OF_RED 06-13-2008 11:45 PM

Bow Wow and Omarion should be high on that list. To make it worse they actually made a CD together. :Lin:

SPATCH 06-14-2008 12:09 PM

no "worst rappers" list will ever be complete without the inclusion of soulja boy.

add also: MIMS, ying yang twins, and dem franchize boyz

these guys are a disgrace to hip-hop
