"a dope mc is a dope mc"

this is a chance for everyone to get a say. u only get to nominate one (unless you're annoying and nominate more than one anyway). but tell us who is ur favourite emcee.

my vote goes to...




















Black Thought

bounty killer, no question, take any mc from any country to the cleaners wen hes on form (although he would offically be known as deejay cos hes a jamaican)

but lets be annoying ay. i really like kardinal offishal as well at the mo.

mcs act like they dont know...

"with or without a record deal dope mc"

Wadda you think ...

CEE-LO!

Close second ...

Andre 3000!

Hmmph, I was gonna say Andre.

But I'll be annoying too and go for...

Roots Manuva!

Have you heard that Cinematic Orchestra track feat. Roots Manuva - "I'll take you to my tardis, who's the hardest!". Check it out

Redman. But I'll probably change my mind later.

yer red man + O.d.bz older shit

if i was on a strictly hip-hop site, the followin emcees would have been nominated and a flame war would have started:

Rakim
Nas
Jay-Z
Eminem
Chino XL
2Pac
Mos Def
Talib Kweli

i'm quite surprised that none of these names have been mentioned.
but that's not to say that y'all are wrong cos i think it's good to have different opinions.
but bounty killer & cee-lo are from outta leffield.

yeh,
Talib Kweli 4 sho
and why no one said KRS 1? this thread named afta his lyrics...





Oh and Mc mana



and rizzla....


>:/

rizzla makes me spew.
but yeah, sorry team, i 4got 'bout krs

and double J and twice tha T

lol

i dont think the guru gets given enough credit, but the dopest mc would have to be hologram from jedi mind tricks, no doubt about it. So rough rugged and raw yet amazingly conciouse, never letting his stlye degenerate into more same old gangster shit which lets face it, he could make millions doing.

and shotta j i think the line u were trying to quote was "with or without a record deal all can see", but i might be wrong cause i havnt heard that track in ages.

dude, you never asked who we thought was the best emcee. you asked "who is ur favourite emcee"

yes I probably would flame you for including the likes of Jay Z, Eminem and 2Pac on your list. (even Biggie was better)

My vote for best emcee (of all time?) gos to Rakim, but my favorite is still Redman cause he can create an image in my mind with his words that cracks me up.

redman droped a track with cristina aguelera :/

It sounds pretty much like a remix of 'lets get dirty' with added wailing.

Not good :/ but I guess he needed some cash.

yeah, that makes me cringe.

AGUMJ, i know what i asked, and i asked it on purpose, to find out, what peeps like.

i was just sayin'... if this was a strictly hip-hop site, the members would regard pump their fav' mc as the best. that's just the way that is.

yeh Guru does not get enuff respect,
any one heard jazzmataz?
so cool!

yeah, i've heard jazzmatazz 1 and street soul. street soul is just hip hop. jazzmatazz 1 is real jazz and shit.

~ the beat is sinister, primo makes you relax, im like the minister, when i be lacin the wax ~

jazzmataz 2 is cool.

Evidence
Mos Def
Self-Titled
Chali 2na
Roots Manuva

are my favourites.

acornm: what track is that from? i know it's gangstarr but i can't think of the song

navigator's aaaiiight...

acornm;
above the clouds?


my favourite emcee....umm....Common.

Chali2na
Blackthought - Loving the Roots.
