Drake, Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, Fabolous and Raekwon…? Really? Drake shot to number three just like that? Really? I’m not an expert in rap, but I thought Nas has done and is still doing big things. Shouldn’t he be on the list?

How the heck did 50 get on the list? Raekwon? Really?
I know Drake is the new Golden Boy off Hip Hop,but I don’t think he is worthy of such a high spot. Maybe 8th or 9th. Agree about Jay. I’d put T.I. on this list, but I guess since his cd came out a while ago ppl forgot about him.

Don’t see the hype surrounding Drake, nothing special imo. Jay deserves his spot, Kanye deserve to be up there too, T.I should be on there for sure…maybe eminem too?

U can’t say much about Jay and Raekwon bcuz they’ve already proven themselves…but we can’t deny Jay’s year(BP3). Gucci and 50? Really? Gucci is just my opinion bcuz I HATE him and IMO he sucks, so I’m biased I guess…but 50? what the hell did he do? nobody is checkin for him anymore…real talk. Everybody else I can agree with…well, except for Jeezy. I like Jeezy, but really what did he do recently? he’s been pretty quiet for some months.

Oh, and I’m sooooo SICK of Lil Wayne!!! I’m Lil wayned out!! and am I the only one that feels with time he’s not on par anymore. At this rate, he can say and do anything but still be garaunteed a spot on this list. Again, I can somewhat agree with this list, but this is in no way a representation of my faves, with the exception of Jay

In 2009 i gotta agree with most of this list but….i feel like there should be reasons why ppl were on this list.
#1 – Jay-Z – obvious reason The Blueprint III hot album
#2– Eminem – cant forget about him, crazy come back album Relapse..creative album but went hard on some tracks especially “Beautiful”
#3 – Lil Wayne – Young money been taken over the rap spotlight in the past years plus a fire albums and killer mixtapes, no reason why weezy shouldnt be here.
#4 – Drake – Pretty much an all arounder can do it all sing or rap, Drake can fit any typa song either rapping or singing..crazy lyrics and crazy tracks.
#5 – Kanye West – 808′s and Heartbreak probably one of the most deepest albums and real albums i heard..pretty much his shit is real
#6 – Rick Ross – besides the controversy, i still think ricky is a rapper…most of his tracks are legit…Check out his newest album Deeper Than Rap, pretty legit
#7 – Gucci Mane/Young Jeezy – i likem both equally..they both went hard in 2009 crazy mixtapes & albums
#8 – The Game – in my opinion i think the game is better than 50 cent i listen to them both i like both of their music but i think the game has an edge on 50.
#9 – Chamillionaire – Despite all the album feuds with Chamilionaire…i think his style is the most creative in the game…takes a different approach and it works for him just fine…hardly disappointed with his tracks…albums are insane…and can also sing and rap…mixtapes are crazyy cant forget about them
#10 – T.I. – Probably one of the most under rated rappers in the game…his music is legit never disappointed with T.I.
