We're ranking who was the best MC of each year. After that we're gonna tally all of the points and see who ranked the highest.


System's not completely fair for the MCs who were killed like Pac and Big , but besides that it should be pretty accurate.

Juve
Lauryn
Mos Def
Busta

It was hard to pick between Juve's best and Outkast's best.

 

[Goldie]

I felt bad leaving some off, Nore and busta deserve mentions, blackstar too.

thats doing a disservice to Big Boi, Pimp C, etc...

i'd argue they should just be happy they're getting ranked with bun b and 3k

The disrespect to the legends.
UGK would not have been shit with out Pimp C
Outkast woulda never been shit without Big Boi

[FakeOhMars]

bun b>>>>>>pimp c

3k>>>>>>>big boi


and it's not even close.....they carried the shit outta them dudes

I see you aint really a fan of either. Go back and listen to Too hard to swallow and Super Tight, Listen to southernplayalistic and ATLiens and tell me who carried who

 

[Duwop]

and i don't understand how this is a debate....

bun b is a better lyricist and rapper than pimp c by leaps and bounds..

3k is the more complete artist who has always been the stand out of the duo......

thought this was common knowledge....the entire appeal of the groups... how is this information unsettling?
