Rap music's Mount Rushmore?

[Jack Handy jr]

1.Eminem

2.Lil Wayne

3.Eazy E

4.Tupac

Hon mentions Will Smith, Dr Dre, Biggie.

who's on your list? why. I chose Em 1 because he's considered the king of free style, or battle rap.And I guess what can be described as the kinda non theme of his rap. it's not party, it's not gangsta, it's not conscious, it's just Rap and it sells.

Well some might argue that wills transcendence of rap is similar to the Rock's transcendence of pro wrestling. and Will can rhyme. You're not one of those guys that looks down your nose on "party", or "conscious" rappers are you?

All that garbage those dudes spew is just that...garbage.

But, I did grow up with their music (unfortunately), so I know what's popular and the impact many of them had.

I'm talking about everyone else on the OP's list...Smith shouldn't even be on there!

Yeah a lot of rap i'll agree is morally reprehensible. and like you some of it offends my Christian sensibilities. But I'm mature enough (not saying you're not) to listen to rap simply as entertainment. I view Rap, no different than I view violent, or action TV shows and movies.

For example, I've watched the Movie Scarface probably 12 times in my adult life. I've yet to have a desire to sell blow, or bang hookers(ahem), or shoot mofo's, or refer to my friends as Cavrone.

Just saying man.

I'm just a hip hop fan
in general. They both have
their qualities. My picks are
based off style(originality),
significance & skill.
& in no particular order

But hey, I could be wrong...

If you don't like it, why on Earth do you think your opinion matters?
Do you hang around baseball stadiums just so you can tell people baseball is stupid?
