    While I like every rapper on here bar Eminem, the selection & ranking confuses me. While Kendrick is undoubtedly having a fantastic run, it's still too early to include him on something like this especially over an icon like Pac.

    Agreed it seems a bit too premature to include him in any top list, let alone top 10.

    big, jay, ghost, and nas have to be in any top ten. you can make strong cases for wayne and rakim. (dre too, though he's a weird case--outkast is probably the best musical act of the past three decades, but how do you rank half of a group?) lauryn hill's debut is great, The Score is great, but i don't see how you put her above a good thirty to forty other rappers. eminem and kendrick shouldn't be considered. maybe kendrick one day if he gets back on track.

    wayne has more or less completely fallen off. he's still one of the greatest rappers to ever live.

    Nope but he was on top of the world for a good part of the last decade displaying a clever knack of eccentric song-writing, insane metaphors and rhyme schemes & his instantly recognizable voice/delivery separated him from the rest of the pack. It's incredible that the lil kid that was with Juve, B.G & Turk turned out to be this superstar in just a few years.

    i agree that he had such a huge impact last decade, but to say hes made an album better than tpab in the last 5 years is laughable
