Rakim
Raekwon: One thing about me and my top five, it may be n*ggas that ain't even relevant like that... at the level of today's Hip-Hip. that will really hurt a lot of peoples feelings, but that's how I feel. I take real emcees serious, so I will definitely say, one is Rakim. Rakim is our Marvin Gaye of Hip-Hop.
Slick Rick
Then you have Slick Rick. Just their albums that came out almost 20 years ago is still busting a lot of n*ggas a** today lyrically. I wouldn't even consider myself in the "Top Five" yet. I haven't put in any work yet. Them two...
Biggie
I like [Notorious] B.I.G. Definitely one that definitely had a lot of talent, he had that good voice.
Big Daddy Kane
was crazy back then. His s**twas on fire. He has come with all different types of styles and flows. 'Cause see that's what I look at too. I don't look at a n***a just being able to rhyme and talk tough all day. I'm talking about literature on wax. s**tthat will be like "what he say?" Spitting that sh*t right back. I look at all that. One thing to me about being a real emcee is that you have to fit that role as being one of those n***as. All n***as are made to have their own style and charisma. B.I.G. had his own style, his own charisma. He was able to do R&B s**t, kill it and still come back to do the real s**t.
Krs One,
Always presenting his lyrics, always knowing how to write stories and dip in different things. So I look at all that. Rakim, Slick, B.I.G., Kane...
I got one for more... KRS-One. Lyrically, l said those names right there. That's why I picked them.
