Jeff is moving up in the Hip Hop/Rap world. Is he the real G.O.A.T.?

I had to vote for 40 Water.

How could you miss out Kool Keith from the list?

jeffs always been the GOAT just took until now for the people to recognize

I like Jeff, he is a good rapper. But I think that he has much to learn still if compared to the one and only GOAT, SUPER HOT FIRE.

No Shad K., no deal.

MF DOOM

The Beastie Boys and MF Doom are the only rappers I've ever listened to a full album of. No Run DMC, MC Chris, Chuck D? Even Will Smith for the Fresh Prince Theme? I'm guessing whoever rapped on the greatest rap song of all time, didn't make the cut either....

I mean who could forget this hip hop classic

Jeff isn't in the poll? Or Tyler? I voted for e-40 because lol.

@dray2k: but he's not a rapper.

Bad list. How the fuck you got UGod and leave out the real GOAT aka Black Thought?

redmans on there twice but where is rapman

@rosesaredan: I have never been owned this hard. I can't win against the truth :D.

This is a beautiful damn thread. Proud of each and every one of you.

The votes for Eminem have me rolling my eyes.

I can't take Jeff's reverence for hip-hop seriously when I hear him go to bat for an asshat like Riff Raff. No love for Tech-nizzle (Tech N9ne)? He's not my favorite but I can't think of much of his stuff I've heard that I haven't liked. For me it might be between Ice Cube or Ludacris who have had decent film careers on top of being provocative characters in hip-hop who I generally enjoy. Obviously others have been in movies and TV, just not in a particularly memorable capacity beyond just playing themselves. Some of these guys have become more famous for their reputation than their music in my opinion. Others are probably more skilled as entrepreneurs or producers than as hip-hop artists. In the end it's still showbiz, so if I'm to consider someone a greatest of all time they damn well better be showy, whatever that means.

No love for Hopsin huh? I see how it is.

Kidding. *votes 2Pac*

hm

ctrl+f "staples"

Em is definitely my favourite... those first 2 albums were just so fresh.

@development: Jeff's moniker is "US Pipe"

The minute I posted this, I hated myself for forgetting MF Doom, Staples, Tyler, Black Thought, Tech N9ne, Aesop Rock, Hospin, and D'Angelo.

Jeff is #2 next to Pharoahe Monch

I don't see Old Kanye on this list.

No Black Thought, this poll is invalid

I'm eye rolling at the person eye rolling Em votes.

I'm rolling my eyes because I'm having a seizure send help

The COD of the hip hop world lol

Is that Rick 'The Ricker" at 1:37? A legend.

Glad I'm not alone.

He's like Hip Hop version of the edgy rock bands from the late 90s/early 00s.
