20 BEST MC's / CREW's

[RapMashineEminem]

You are CRAZY man how can you not put the best punchline, the best lyrics and rhyme master the one and the only BIG L ( Big L )

[sakalolffs]

Jesus. Putting the ENTIRE WU-TANG CLAN at #6 is fucked the fuck up. Solid Mcs all around in this list but they're just all in the wrong order.

[themanwithwhatis]

Where's Rhyme Asylum?

[TheGrapist203]

oh and mos def and talib kweli jesus christ dude this list is weak

[TheGrapist203]

canibus shouldn't be number 1, are you serious? where's biggie? and Nas number 16? Reef all the way down there on the list come on man do you have ears? where's black thought and those ill rappers from the roots crew?

[AprosarmostosMc]

well i think that guru should be on the list man. but still good job there :)

[mdizzle18700]

nas should be 1 not no damn 16

[ashbare]

Apathy and NAS should have been MUCH higher on the list. Nice job though. Glad to see Louis Logic on there :).

[MrBeastingbeast]

Can you please tell me what the jedi mind trick song is called in this video

[tredts]

@MrBeastingbeast Jedi Mind Tricks - The Philosophy Of Horror

[ChocoDog33]

pretty good, canibus should not be number 1 though it should defiantly be celph son!

Celph kills every other MC in that list

[tredts]

@ChocoDog33 Celph is by far my FAVORITE MC but lyrically I don't feel anyone can touch Canibus... 

[JunkYardBandit]

rugged man shits on canibus. hes untouchable. Give him a gavel, because hes so far above the rest of the underground, he can look down on it.

[OPL21stJS]

whats the reef lost cause song? also thank god u hav real deep underground rappers.

[2620bluntsmoker]

definitely feel this list at least not one whack rapper in it!

[will12352]

i would call this top 20 best hardcore emcees. there are emcees in other avenues of Hip Hop that rival the abilities of Celph Titled etc. Good to see some Aussie love with LC and Brad Strut in there but you should've just played an LC song with a verse from Brad and Trem and saved space for another MC.

[tredts]

@will12352 " you should've just played an LC song with a verse from Brad and Trem and saved space for another MC." I had thought about that, but I felt Brad as an individual needed a spot on my list.

[OPL21stJS]

@tredts YES FINALLY SOMEONE LYK ME. thank god for putting Canibus as #1, if u didnt i was going to say WTF. also thnxz for putting immortal technique, ill bill, n jedi mind tricks. also the rest are gr8,n amazing. Canibus has that hardcore rhyme,vocab,lyrics,meataphores­, and intelligence. thnxz for not putting Jay-z, Wayne, Gucci etc lol. peace

[swifer616]

@OPL21stJS

I was just like you back when i was 15 lol. I use to think canibus was the best but he's in top 20 man. Listen to hip hop for sale and his new 2010 album... they suck balls. way more dudes out there thatve been in their prime longer

[racreasy1]

nice list but I do believe because of his lyrical abilities tech n9ne should be there!

other than that nice job

[MrBeastingbeast]

whats the celph titled and jedi mind track in this list

[AARON6566453]

idk nas is no were near 16..i say top ten atleast!

[Andrefondrei]

Tight list. i would've changed a few tho, but its all opinions

[darijo357]

whats the anme of the celph titled song man that shit is dope , oh n the best rappers r necro, apathy, celph titled, eminem, now all those rappers r white n i realise that makes me look like a racist.....but....but, when i listen to these dudes and compare them to other rappers who happen to be black, they just don't compare rappers like lil wayne r shit to me, rappers like, 50 cent have great beats n but shit lyrics, rappers like tupac, are deep but not something that stands out from the averag

[will12352]

@darijo357 Hip Hop is universal, there is no colour, size or age specification. This is a worldwide culture and as long as the music is REAL then superficial qualities are irrelevant. For the record, Celph Titled is Cuban- not white, that's why he drops the N-Bomb. The initials LW do not belong here, so please leave it out of this.

[redpride4life]

outerspace is 2 MC'z kid!!!

[tstorm10233]

cannibus as #1 you've gotta be kidding me celph and R.A. lyrically destroy cannibus

[gravymanz54]

Awh no aesop, love that louis is in here though

[madedayoungen]

nice list, i like/heard most of the artists although i dont noe the names of most of the songs..i noe its kinda a hassle but the names of the tracks would be appreciated

[alfredopowerranger]

Yours is actuali not a bad list.

[visualskism]

[UstaOner]

R.A hands down

[Landwirtz]

[tredts]

[ben1012k8]

[insaneikon]

i think VINNIE PAZ should of been number one

[dubz776]

finally someone giving louis logic some credit lol that dude nasty and underrated.. canibus, celph, lou, apathy copywrite, r.a., q-unique, reef, paz FTW

[RJLoc1992]

and killah priest should be on the list

[RJLoc1992]

i hate ra the rugged man, he has tht gay lisp or speech impedement, whtever the hell it is

[hiphopsarmada]

Good # 1 pick man more people need to hear this lyrical god.

[TheDTclan]

RA the rugged man at number 2 is fuckin stupid i mean come on over IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE AND CELPH TITLED!?

RA only had one dope song come on now and it was the one verse feature you put up here

[bababaloona]

You don't know about R.A if you think he only has 1 good song.

[TheDTclan]

I've checked his album you half to listen to the WHOLE album just to hear a couple solid lines its really insulting for you to say that

[FalconFiend93]

R.A. is sick with dat flow

[oDUQIo]

Louis Logic ahead of Ap?

[tredts]

Ap is dope as all shit but listen to louis logic and jay love odd couple alcohol-ism album.... louie is insain with the rhymes!

[gxmuvimr]

damn man i thought this list was awsome untnil canibus was number 1. also apathy needs to be higher cmooooooooooooon lol

[cmacpella]

BIG L

BIG PUN

NUFF SAID!

[tredts]

[NaStyNaS1973]

Worst list.

[FalconFiend93]

nice list man

[thughustlin24]

[dusky07]

#1 biggie

#4 r.a the rugged man

#5 rakim

[Gbaby90rapman]

[rapmastajap]

what was apathy's song

[tredts]

Its called, Chemicals. Best Ap song!

[TheRapBox]

@tredts Best? Hah i have to disagree with you, soo many to chose from but The title track "Eastern Philosophy" was dope... same with 88 mindstate and "It Takes A Seven Nation Army To Hold Us Back" is just pure legendary.

[tredts]

@TheRapBox. I like all of Ap's shit, but Chemicals is my favorite.

[mixwell1983]

@tredts - Chemicals is a fuck sick tune but checkmate is also fucking ill.. who am kidding ap in general is just sick, one of my fav mcs but king of punchlines i have to give the titled to celph titles... off the hook nice list

[mixwell1983]

I agree with most your list and rugged man is fucking sick.. his verse in uncommon valor is epic I think you did overlook a lot of classic MCs like Guru etc. I used to love immortal tech but a lot of his politics became repetative

[AcaciaFlames]

Reef the Lost Cause and Outerspace and JMT and Apathy, King Syze and King Magnetic and Demoz and 7L & Esoteric are the best!

[tredts]

so pretty much AOTP

[doublebubble66]

man, u list off every member of AOTP cept celph?

come on

[tredts]

was this comment for me? Celph is #4...

[doublebubble66]

no it was for Acacia,

he lists off like every member of AOTP cept celph when he's talkin about the best rappers lol

i mean come on dude!

[tredts]

Oh yeah I remember seeing that and thinking the same thing LOL

[TheDTclan]

Hes at @ #4

[purplesimba]

Redman at 17??? Come on now,lets be real.

[wachang123]

i just spent a shit load of money expanding my hip hop collection cause of this video haha

[tredts]

haha. that's what i like to hear. helps feed the starving artists.

[vazkez1]

Thats tight my nigga..... CANIBUS is greatest of all time.... FUCK LL......

[GeoOneloveHipHop]

Nice list man apreehciate the work u put into making it . im liking the sound of ill bill haha yeeys i aint heard him befor this . thanks G

[techn9ne31]

dope list dope list I love the top 10 good choices. only for me Reef would be a little higher.

[tredts]

Yeah, it took me alot of thought to put my order of favorites. I used more who has influenced me more than who I listen to most. I feel Reef is definatly one of the top MC's to ever spit! But but my top 5 are who I really relate to. I put Celph Titled at #4 but really I listen to him 90% of the time. Glad you liked it!

[SilvaTheeBeast]

Canibus as #1

thats always a great list lol.

[tredts]

not a canibus fan?

[SilvaTheeBeast]

Yes...Iam...

Thats why I said it makes a great list

[tredts]

Thats cool, I know alot of people who don't like his scientific style and voice and shit. Thats why I asked. Everyone has their own opinion.

Peace.
