I feel a little poke comin' through on you"
I'll always keep this thread alive.In the interest of keeping this thread alive, I'm curious about everyone's favorite emcees. I know it's always a controversial topic, but here are mine (in no particular order):
Nas, Mos Def, Rakim, Pharoahe Monch, GZA, Bahamadia, Andre 3000, Kool G Rap, Ras Kass, Canibus
You have great taste Mr.Douglas. I'd list Ghostface, Jada, Jay-Z, Nas, Tupac, BIGGIE, Pharoahe Monch, Rakim and Keith Murray as my favs. Crazy how underrated Jeru and Pharoahe Monch are though.I'll always keep this thread alive.

Best - Biggie(G.O.A.T.), Rakim, Nas, Big Daddy Kane, KRS One, Tupac Shakur, Scarface, Jay Z, Chuck D, Ice Cube, Kool G Rap (hon mention)
Underrated - Del The Funkee Homosapien, Pharoahe Monch, Jeru the Damaja, Masta Ace, The D.O.C., PMD, Kool Keith, Prodigy,MC Ren, CL Smooth
If Big Pun and Big L lived long enough they both would have contended for the top 10.
