I think just putting together a simple top 10 list like that is difficult. It is obivisous that you can name 10 rappers from the last 10 years that are better than for example Kanye, but I think he still should be mentioned. I think Ted did it right with his honorable mentions, I think Kanye, 50, Nelly & Ja Rule should be mentioned even though they aren't the best MC's. There are a lot of rappers that spit better than Kany, but the fact remains that he did release one of the best albums that came out this decade. Guys like Termanology and Torae might be way better in the booth, but they did not release a Late Registration yet. 50 Cent needs to get some props, can't front on that. Ja Rule and Nelly made some of the catchiest songs the last ten years have to offer. They are hit makers, they created classic hits, no one will forget Dillema or Always on Time, but will somebody still remember Drake's newest hit 10 years from now? Laffy Taffy, anone? If it was up to me, I would make a list without numbers. I would drop some names that I think deserve to be mentioned when it comes to the last 10 years, without putting them in a specific order. On, and by the way, Bun B is king of the south
P.S. Some of those Rappers on that BET list came out before 2000.. Lil Wayne, Eminem, Jadakiss (!!).. whats up with that
