    1. Good interview , but i must disagree. There are more than a few who are (So Called) keeping hip hop alive. And there eating pretty damn good to. So if you wanna base it on hospital terminology Hip Hop is in rehab and on its way to a clean bill of health.

      1. i agree but only in a certain way

        there are a few cats among the new artists who can’t breathe a new life in hip-hop

        for instance : jay electronica, big krit, currensy or kendrick lamar

        but they represent only a few out of a thousand mothafuckas killin hip-hop

    2. I didn’t know NAS created Hip-Hop, Seriously, dude is a G.O.A.T. & everything but who the F- is he to declare whether a art-form & culture that was alive well before he started making records is Alive Or Dead, or dying as he puts it. Last I checked people are still dancing, DJs are still DJ”ing” & Rappers are still rapping.

      1. Because he is one of a few artist that has something to say in the majority of his records… listen…

    3. Em is top 5 , big pun fuckin blew… Big L and many others are in front of him… Jayz isnt really worth puttin in a top 25 at all..

    4. Top 10
      1. Biggie
      2. Big l
      3. Nas
      4. Eminem
      5. Method man
      6. Andre 3000
      7. AZ
      8. Kanye west
      9. 2pac
      10. Lauryn hill

      Eminem is in my top 10 because of his freestyles in the 90’s his infinite mix tape/album and his 1st 3 lps. Fuck recovery. Kanye is in my top 10 because he makes sick beats and has a different style of rap and has a lot of good barz. Notorious big is the greatest rapper of all time. Ready to die and life after dead are flawless.

    5. i heard yall bitch ass lists

      but what about scarface, pharaohe monch, or gza ?

      yall just put some mainstream rappers in this mothafucka it just proves how yall dickridin over the sales and fame but talent

    6. Good interview but needs to be at least 3 times longer, felt rushed. Dyson’s a smart dude too coulda got a lot more outta Nas with more time

    7. Fuck source! They dont represent Hip Hop one bit. If Em is not in that top 5 kill ya self. Big, Pac, Nas, Em, Rakim.

    8. Method man is better than jay-z.. he is alive?
      Mobb Deep are better than Jay they are alove?
      EVERYONE in Wu-Tang is better than Jay-z.. he sucks he really really sucks..
