Did you just start listening to rap in 2003? Kanye may be a bright spot in hip-hop today, but that isn't saying much of anything. There are dozens and dozens of rappers that I would put ahead of him. Examples: Biggie, Pac, Nas, Eminem, Rakim, Common, Andre Benjamin, Big Boi, and many many more. Your opinion is great and you're entitled to it, but I suggest listening to some of the above rappers if you think Kanye is the best ever; you're in for a treat if you do.
What about the Beastie Boys?  I always thought Paul's Boutique was an all-time great album ...
Psssshhhh.... Where's busta on your list?

I never really got into their stuff, I just thought it was too simple.
And Busta is too much of a clown to be on my list. He had a couple good songs back in the day but he hasn't put anything out worth listening to in a long time.

You guys are only going back maybe 10 years in regards to the artists who actually put some knowledge in to their lyrics. What about PE, KRS-1, the JBs, Rakim (already mentioned), Guru.... I could go on.

maybe some people look too much into it...mike jones' music is not meant to be deep or thought provoking intellectual conversational masterpieces. most of mike jones' work is simply to make people feel good, be catchy, and with his bass lines and catchy lyrics that seem to stay stuck in your head, maybe liven up a party or two. obviously it works because there are plenty of people posting right now who know just WHO mike jones is...i like to appreciate everyones music even if its not something i might be used to because they love it and put everything they have into it. not only that, but what some may find dumb, others love and the latter half of the people have Mike Jones PAID!!

Why is no one talking about Mos Def or The Roots, They are by far some on the best rappers out. I used to love hard core rap but it all starts to sound the same after a little while.
