This past weekend, MTV-2, the more musically-inclined version of cable giant MTV aired a 2-hour special titled
13 thoughts on “MTV-2 list of 22 Greatest MC”
If this is a list of MC’s, why are duos included? If we’re including groups, you mean to tell me that Queen Latifah is better than Outkast and NWA? Bullshit. MTV still clueless.
#22 Chuck-D
#21 Masta Ace
#20 OutKast
#19 NWA
#18 Big Daddy Kane
#17 Common
#16 Lil Kim
#15 KRS-One
#14 Run DMC
#13 DMX
#12 A Tribe Called Quest
#11 Big Pun
#10 Big L
#9 Beastie Boys
#8 Wu-Tang Clan
#7 Gang Starr
#6 Jay-Z
#5 Rakim
#4 Eminem
#3 Biggie Smalls
#2 Nas
#1 Tupac
Rakim should be top 3, Big Pun and KRS-One are easily top 10. Tupac and Biggie, while great, are very overrated. They deserve top 7 or so, but not 1 and 2. Diversity’s great and all, but Missy Elliot sucks and Lil Kim is very mediocre.

I’ve seen many good lists, but… this list is bulls**t. Lil’ Kim is on 8. Beastie Boys is on 9. Missy Elliot is on 10. Why Chuck D is on 22? He should be in 10. WTF? You’re kidding! I hope Dre – is Andre 3000, not Dr. Dre. Eminem is on 3? I respect him, but he doesn’t deserve this place. You think Nelly is better than Common, KRS-One, DMX, Chuck D, Run DMC. Is it joke?. Ghostface Killah or Inspectah Deck are not worse than Method Man. There isn’t Pharoahe Monch, Redman, Canibus, Big L, Guru, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Slick Rick in the list. Mos Def, Masta Ace and Ice Cube are also good rappers, not garbage like Foxy or Nelly. Are Beastie Boys MC? No, Beastie Boys is a group. Lauryn Hill and MC Lyte – are greatest female MC’s (Queen Latifah is also good)
My list:
1. Rakim
2. KRS-One
3. Big Daddy Kane
4. Kool G Rap
5. NaS
6. 2Pac
7. Notorious B.I.G
8. Chuck D
9. Eminem
10. Common
11. Redman
12. Pharoahe Monch
13. Ghostface Killah
14. Guru MC
15. Jay-Z
16. Ice Cube
17. Slick Rick
18. Inspectah Deck
19. Andre 3000
20. Canibus
21. Big L
22. LL Cool J
