Hip Hop fans...

1. Rakim, strictly for the influence he had on the generations after him, plus Paid in Full is probably one of if not the best hip dop album ever)
2. Tupac, again the influence he had, the messages he delivered, makes him one of the best emcees imo
3. Redman Seriously guys?? no mention of Redman?? easily top 5 all time
4. Andre 3000
5. Nas

most slept on: Outkast. You guys need to listen to their first 4 albums; all hiphop staples. If you like mroe gangsta-rap, then southerplayalisticadillacmuzik is recommended, but their following three are better IMO
most overhyped: Jay Z

 

[The Fresh Prince]

1. Prodigy of Mobb Deep
2. Nasir Jones
3. Treach
4. Brotha Lynch Hung
5. Tupac

A REAL top 5.

Pimp C
Krayzie Bone
Eminem
Rakim
Chuck D
KRS One
Slick Rick
Mac Dre

Most Slept On:

Wow I can't believe how many people insist there is a difference between rap and hip hop in order to legitimize their "music" of choice. I don't worry about the label, I just listen.

Fa shizzle.
