im just wondering how many votes there are going to be vs the number of rappers on the list...

and should Will Smith really be on the list? This being a jjfp board and all, it would be a little bit bias

Immortal Technique, Paris, Jean Grae, J-Live, and Abstract Rude are a few more dope mcs that come to mind, and yes I think we're pretty objective here on this board so we should keep Will on the list just to see what happens

I have a question. Based on what are we supposed to judge? Strictly on skills? I mean, for example, one could call Kurtis Blow a better Rapper than for example Canibus, because he was more important for Hip Hop. Yet it's a fact that Canibus has more skills. So based on what are we gonna judge? Status, good albums or only skills? I mean, we are looking for the best, not for our favorite, right? But even juging on skills is complicated. I mean, just because Canibus has more complex lyrics, does that make him a better mc than for example jigga? I'm confused guys..lol
