2. Bob Marley and the Wailers

5. Nas

Whats funny about Elton John bein in my top 5? He is a legend and his catalog is sick

50>>>>>>Pac Its been this way since the Gods plan mixtape in 2002

At this point comparing tupac to 50 cent is laughable and a slap in the face to 50

Pac was trash but media crowned him as god years ago so of course impressionable revisionist stans will agree especially if u were 4 when pac was alive

He aint better than rappers like rakim,nas,biggie,jigga,A.G.,eminem,ghostface,Ice Cube etc

An open homosexual being in someone's top 5 was funny to me at the time

2Pac>>>>>>50 Cent it's been this way since 50 stepped on the Hip-Hop scene

Slap in the the face to 50? fuck 50...and even if i did care, it couldn't be a slap in the face, because 50 hasn't sold nearly the amount of units or receives nearly the amount of love that 2pac gets

And Pac was never trash, how can a rapper be trash and put out critically acclaimed work? work that was critically acclaimed when he was alive

50 isn't better than rappers like rakim,nas,biggie,jigga,A.G.,eminem,ghostface,Ice Cube etc.

fuck me, I forgot to include the Wailers.

btw, Fela Kuti? that's whats up. We actually have the same list except two. I can't deny that Sam Cooke is a beast though. I still prefer Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye over him though.
