Good list. And ur right, even the top names in mainstream rap like the same shit & that's why we've been getting the same ole' shit over & over again in music & videos.
LIL FLIP says the same thing on KINGS OF THE SOUTH cd with ZRO. I quote, "My favorite rapper is PAC". Maybe the question was geared toward lyricists.
My favorite rappers are different than my favorite lyricists
PAC RAS KASS
LL COOL J CANIBUS
SNOOP YUKMOUTH
YUKMOUTH GRAND PUBA
X RAIDED & CBO (tie) TWISTA
It's so hard to narrow a top 5 down that I bet if the question was asked again to these same rappers most of them would put 1 or 2 different rappers in the top 5.
As far as subject matter goes no one is as real as Chuck D. His voice could damn near incite riots back in the day. This choice was based on late 80's early 90's PE stuff, i think the last thing I bought from him was his solo CD back in 95-96. No one could fuck with him back in the day though...

Ry... Chuck D...? I'm a huge Public Enemy fan... I still buy their albums... 'He Got Game'... 'There's A Poison Going On'... Got 'em both... Even have a copy of their album with Paris... So as a longtime supporter (been down since 'Yo Bum Rush The Show') I have to ask you to reconsider... Chuck's an icon, a legend, and to some even a hero, but one of the top 5...? Nope... Not even close... How 'bout Brother J... Or Wise Intelligent... Puba even...? Dude, your list is almost flawless... And I'm really pullin' for it... Just please, please take Chuck off... Please...?
That's pretty weak. He lost his mind and has put out bullshit for a while, but seriously it's ICE CUBE! I think Common should have said Ice Cube - hahahaha.
Good to see Scarface get props like that, but only from the southern artists - that's weak.
E-40 shouldn't have made the list, but considering people said DMX and Mac-10 not to mention other's that shouldn't have been anywhere near this list, 40 belongs there more than others.
