A lot of great rappers get recognized here, Da Brakes got a point 'cause you could see how the best year seemed to be 1988 with all legends being listed and the worst year was 2005 with a lot of subpar rappers like you know who, you know something's wrong with the state of the rap game when you look at the recent most influential artists today...

The way I see it 1988-1993 is the golden era of classic mcs and 2000-2005 is the sucker mc era with careers created by publicity stunts, most of those shouldn't even have record deals

Yeah its great 2 see JJFP/Will get mention :yeah: ...even tho the numbers aint that good..but I take what I can get.

I mean it really could have been worse. I mean I have seen magazines that have done a Top HipHop list or TimeLine of HipHopthingy and just totally skip JJFP/Will all together.

I waz about 2 say the same thing. It's amazing how 1988 is nothing but classic artists...all with talent. And by the time 2 get 2 2005, there's literally nobody that personally think is ever consistently average...if any good at all. By the time the 90's are over...that lists go 2 hell and back.

I love seeing JJ+FP getting the love tho.'

The most recent lists are pathetic, Bun B and Three 6 Mafia, give me a break, it is so evident of the current poor state of the rap game...
