Of the lot they got listed there it was Rakim, BIG, KRS One, Nas and Slick Rick for me...I choose BIG. These people should not be on a greatest of all times list:
Beastie Boys
Busta Rhymes
DMX
Dr Dre
Eminem
Eric Sermon
Eve
Foxy Brown
Ice Cube
Ice T
Ja Rule
LL Cool J
Lauryn Hill
Lil Kim
MC Lyte
Method Man
Missy Elliott
Mos Def
Nelly
P Diddy
Prodigy
Q Tip
Queen Latifah
Redman
Salt N Pepa
Snoop Dogg
Talib Kweli
Wyclef
...I'm not hating cause a lot of these cats I dig, but come on, Nelly the greatest MC of all time, how about the most marketable, personally I think they only but cats like KRS and Kool G Rap so the backpackers wouldn't burn down there office. This list sucks!

i guess no one realized that their top picks all have videos that play or were played on the station in heavy rotation at one point- it doesnt make sense for them to have people on the list that dont have videos. after all the video is the infomercial of pop culture. 3 1/2 of uninterrupted sell time.
no video = no sales = no music industry sponsorship or endorsements

what i really hate is how these stations pick up a band or group and run with it to death.
Right now Muchmusic(canada) is all over sum41. I like the band but come on, every second day they play the same 2 hr feature on them.

i think its unanimous that kool g rap AND krs1 belong there regardless of backpackers. what strikes me as ironic, is MTV has all these mc's listed and only play but half of them.

I'll be surprised if M&M's not on the list.

its a crime that chino xl isnt listed. he would murder eminem on the mic.

why play outdated (according to pop selling) music? when you can double up every glam rock/pop/rap/ video.
think bigger picture here.

half of those guys are talentless schmucks that were produced in studio after 3,000,000 takes, theat's why they SUCK live

hate to say it but majority of hiphop groups suck ass if they don't have a live rhythm section when they play

TNDAP for the most part, you have a point. but you are retarded for saying Snoop Dog should NOT be on the 'greatest list'. he is the Micheal Jordan of rap.
Niatch!
