I feel you, but it is what it is.

E-40 ain't been nominated? I'd add Messy on there, Keak and a few more bay vets...

lol, big l's one album having, girly sounding voice, punchline only rapper ass will get top 50 around here, lmao

^ gtfo

Big L could be a GREAT storyteller just listen to Casualties of a Dice Game and Street Struck...hes a better storyteller than most

The heist was great too, don't really see what's not to like about him.

If Too $hort didn't make it in, none of these guys will SRP. I'm shocked Spice 1 made it.

That is true... as diverse as people claim to be they don't dig into the bay despite all the talent there...

They just like what they like & I get that, which is why when they talk Bay It's Zion-I & Heiro type stuff (What we call Backpack & Graffitti)

True, but dudes like Mac Dre, Mac Mall, Dru Down, Messy, Andre, etc. are so talented the love should be universal.. it's bullshit some local ny acts get thrown on there instead...

TI
Mystikal
Big Mike
Mac
Young Bleed


and a few more should be nominated as well

Lil' Wayne
Styles P
Fat Joe
Living Legends
M.O.P.

Cosign AZ, Mega, K-Rino, Mac Dre, and just about everyone listed

Co-Sign big time. Big L is a glorified old school Lloyd Banks. Don't get me wrong. Big L was cool, but he is way overrated. He had loads of potential, but he only has two albums. Neither of those albums are a consensus classic. It seems that people want to rate him higher because of his potential.

Well SRP stole a few that i would have used, but i'll give 5 more. Some of these are just personal favorites, and probably won't touch top 100 status. I'd still like to see where people rank them.

SMH @ calling people haters. If i'm being honest, I don't care for Joe anymore, but I would seriously have to think about where he would rank. His first 4 albums, and the first TS album may get him into the top 100.

well Fat Joe had good albums at the start of his career but his last few have been really sub-par. He's just not getting it done the way he used to.

Tech N9ne
Crooked I
Yukmouth (or maybe the Luniz)
Immortal Technique
Chamillionaire
DPG
