Now before I even post the list, VH1 doesn't really have any creditibility on Hip Hop cause they use to not even play rap videos. A matter of fact they use to have a policy that stated they will no play rap videos. Well after the Viacom buyout, and the success of all there rap documentaries and rap reality shows all they sudden in the last 4 or 5 years they've had a change of heart. Well right now they are playing what they consider the greatest artist in all genre's. Only a few rappers made it, do you agree with the list, check it out:

03 Michael Jackson

02 Bob Dylan

01 The Beatles

Interesting Placement for the Rappers, I guess these will probably be the groups and emcee that Pop Culture elevates from a Hip Hop Standpoint. SMH @ MJJ not being #1, they might as well stop frontin, everyone knows Michael Jackson will be considered the GOAT on everyone's list in the future. Beatles and Bob Dylan are legends no doubt but MJJ is the GOAT.

No disrespect because I like some of Justin Timberlake's music but, why in the hell do they have him over Pac?

And I don't agree with Jay-Z and Beyonce over B.I.G. and Pac and Bob Dylan over Michael Jackson?

Mike should have been at least number 2, even though I think he should be number 1.

 

[ChuckieInDaMurderAve]

I don't really know much about any other music other than hip-hop but for what it's worth, they have done well on that part at least. But I think James Brown should be top 3 and Parliament higher up.

At least NWA made the list!

 

[Already Home_17]

there's really no point in arguing about this list that white people made
if black people had made this list not everybody,including whites would agree with it either
then they would say"these ni**ers don't know anything about music"
*shrugs.....*

 

[dj expanium]

This is just opinion based just like VIBE Magazine. I would've thought that Diana Ross would have been on there or even Barry White. I'm unaffected by this!!!!

[nujerz84]

Im sorry Justin Timberlake ranking is fucking disgusting...

 

[flushill401]

No Nas = No Cred

 

[#Kew]

justin and coldplay over pac and otis redding?

Alicia Keys and beyonce but no janet?

"Tina turner" when it should be ike & tina?

Love Mary J. but her and eminem are better than Mayfield, EW&F, Steely Dan, NWA, and outkast?

GTFOH

 

[Kwan Dai]

Black folks shouldn't waste their time entertaining white media's opinions on Black artists and Black Music.

 

[GSonII]

Any list that has Curtis Mayfield #84 is pure garbage. Top 20 at worse to anyone that knows music and that's at worse. The list should be used like toilet tissue

 

[dj expanium]

Black folks shouldn't waste their time entertaining white media's opinions on Black artists and Black Music.

True!!!!!!!!!

 

[gamezpog]

So, no John Coltrane?

 

[Migz.]
