Good list, you named one or two that I forgot.

Yeah, I saw that after that fact. It was hard going down the lists and by page two I was insulted that short dog wasn't on any.

---

Probably about as insulted as we are that you have Trick Daddy and DMX 1-2 on one of your GOAT lists.

Then Too Short is probably my all time favorite.

---

isnt he dead anyways?





if youre truly old school you'd know what i mean (not at you Tom)


Shorty the Pimp is his by far his best album IMO. "look out! Shorty the pimp......he walks with a liyump"

and "The Ghetto" has to be one of the GOAT songs!

Oh man! @$#%*@#%@# Your list sucks, IMHO

This is too hard, for each rapper was top of his game in his era. Can't give an honest impression of Kanye West, WTF nominates that fuggin fool, can't stand him and he hasn't been around too long. I'll sort of rank who I think deserves to be mentioned so..

Old School or older rap
1.) Eazy E.
2.) Too Short (how come no one put him in before)
3.) Ice cube
3-4) Tupac
4.) Dr. Dre
4-5) Public Enemy!
5a) Run-D-MC
5.) Beastie Boys
6.) ICE T
6-7) Snoop Dog
7.) EPMD
8.) Too many other good one's to count, Fat Boys, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince, 2-live Crew, KRS-1


Not so old

1.) Trick Daddy
2.) DMX
3.) Outkast
4.) Master P.
4-5) Cypress Hill
5.) E40

Newer
1.) Eminem (gotta give it to him though he isn't my favorite, he can sell albums and his songs are catchy)
1-2) Outkast
2.) Ludicriss
3.) Snoop Dog

Theres other new ones that I like the music but don't know the names.

Since when is Snoop Dogg "newer"? He has been around since 92. Master P, E40 and Cypress Hill have also been around for awhile.

How long have you been listening to rap? Busta Ryhmes was in a group called Leaders of the New School(note the "New School" part). Their first album came out in like 1991, so Snoop Dogg is definately "newer" unless you just started listening to rap 5 years ago.

---

Not much newer......Snoop has been around since 92. Remember "Deep Cover?"
