If you know anything about hip hop you'll know that sales dont reflect talent.

Are you seriously still trying to use sales as a gauge of a rappers talent?

You remind of the young lads in school who were convinced that Jordan was the greatest looking woman in the world because she had DDD knockers.

changed that for you

I'm not trying to say anything but the streets are leading the poll...

Why isn't devlin there.....???
After dev, its got to be Skinnyman

Shapey Fiend

If anything the sales argument proves Wiley is the best. 50 times more people have listened to The Streets yet he's still holding his own in the poll.

Mike Skinner has big sales due to the white rapper effect. See also Professor Green, Devlin and Example.

danbrosnan

Devlin only came out last year.. thats why i never put him up, but with regard to the white & Black situation i'm not even gonna start talking like that cause music is music and leave it at that..

danbrosnan

CanWiley do it that is the question???

Jamie T is muck man, he had one decent song, "sheila" and then disappeared.

Oh God, I should never have looked that up.

Bobby Baccala

It was all over MTV for a few months about 4 or 5 years ago, actually not bad by jamie t's standards.


But his standards aren't exactly high.

Sorry!!!

ceegee

Poll lacks braintax and scroobius pip.

Id probably go for pip out of those 2, there is an arguement that hes more spoken word but i would define a lot of his performances as rapping (fixed, get better etc)

Braintax is my number 2 because who else could pull off a song about tea and biscuits?

my favourite was Deeder Zaman but only with a conscious band pushing an agenda backing him up - its a mugs game for the most part but this guy excited me

Rakin and Krs-one were there at the start, if they were in our decade they would have sold millions... There just wasn't the audience in there time... Every rapper from the 90's and 00's would have them in there top ten but to be honest i would not have them in my top ten i have only listened to them a handful of time because of my age...

I really don't see what age has to do with it.
I'm 21, my favourite MC is Rakim. If the music was quality back when Rakim recorded it in the 80's/90's, it'll still be quality today.

Yep, im 22, I don't get it either. Rakim alternate with 2pac for top spot with me.

Especially with the internet age has little to do with listening to artists "before your time"

danbrosnan

Jus my opinion lads don't mean its right....

danbrosnan

Pro Green on 4 votes.. my money is still on Mike Skinner but Wiley is running him for his money...

I bet Dizzie will end up in the top 3....
