[Dretox2010]

I feel you gotta have 2 universally critically acclaimed classic Album's minimum to be in the top 5 dead or alive greatest of all time

Eminem = The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP & The Eminem Show

Nas = Illmatic & It Was Written

Biggie Small's = Ready To Die & Life After Death

Kurupt = Streetz Iz A Mutha & Dogg Food

Andre 3000 = ATLiens & Aquemini

The reason i put Eminem at number one is cos the rest have 2 certified universally critically acclaimed classic Album's but Eminem has 3

And also Eminem has made 2 Song's with Lose Yourself & Stan which are in the top 10 greatest Song's ever in any genre in history period

 

[Dretox2010]

And last but not least another factor is longevity which is important

Eminem = since 1999

Nas = since 1994

Biggie Small's = since 1994

Kurupt = since 1992

Andre 3000= since 1994

 

[3rd Eye Vision]

My top is based on talent alone

Tech N9ne (Impeckable flow, hardcore delivery, unique sound)

Lupe Fiasco (Great Storyteller, Good flow, GOAT wordplay)

Canibus (Aggressive delivery, Amazing punchlines, very underrated flow, lyrics for centuries)

Jean Grae (Take no prisoners attitude, witty punchlines, great flow, topics are honest from the heart)

Dead Prez (Conveys message very clearly, both have great flow, very consistent)
