Top 5 Favorite        

                   Rappers ...

 
#1 - Eminem
No surprise here I'm guessing.  Anybody who knows me knows that i'm a Stan.  When Eminem dropped "The Slim Shady LP" is 1999, it was automatic, he wasn't gonna drop any spots either in 2000 when he released "The Marshall Mathers LP" he put a permanent lock on my #1 favorite rapper spot. Em's star power proved that even without a highly played single, he can debut at #1 on the Billboard charts with D-12, with the single "Purple Pills" not receiving much airplay due to the contents of the song, Em showed that just having him on the record would do the trick when "Devil's Night" debuted at #1.  "The Eminem Show" was no different, after 3 days selling over 1 million records.  Eminem is #1 in my book and will always be #1.

#2 - Jadakiss
1/3 of The LOX, after 2 successful albums, the frontman of The LOX ventured out for a solo album, in 2001, "Kiss Tha Game Goodbye" had everything an album should have, great rhymes and great beats put together to make a great album.  Featured on almost everybody's songs, Jadakiss delivers everytime and gets my slot for #2.

#3 - 50 Cent
"But then again, you'll finally get your wish, cause you'll be all over the streets like 50 Cent" --- Eminem

He said it perfectly, all over the streets, I can't even keep count of how many mixtapes and bootlegs there are featuring just 50 Cent.  In the year 2000, 50's debut solo effort "Power of The Dollar" never made it on to shelves cause of heavy bootlegging.  2 years later, he puts together his own mixtape, showcasing his talents and his free-agency lookin' for a new label on "Guess Who's Back"  Still appearing on countless mixtapes, 50 Cent is preparing his first album with Shady/Aftermath records called, "Get Rich or Die Trying" which is destined to be a classic.

#4 - Nas
From Illmatic to Stillmatic, Nas has been one of the most influential rappers in the game over the past 10 years.  He has proven that even though he has had his rough times, you can never count him out.  One of my favorite rappers for a long time, Nas has shown he can put the 'Oochie Wally' in things and show that all he needs is 'One Mic' and with his latest release "God's Son" Nas shows once again why he's one of the best ever.

#5 - Jay Z/Ludacris (TIE)
While with my Top 4 rappers, I get really excited when an album of theirs drops, however, I'm not too passionate about any other rappers, but to make it an even 5, Jay-Z has always made hits, and he will keep making hits until he decides to stop.  And I'm a fan of Ludacris for his laid back rhyme style and funny-ass comments.  So there ya go. Top 5 mutha f**ka.
