FERGIE

FACTS
POSITION: #60
SCORE: 34
Career Glance: Not really a rapper she can still be argueably be considered a hip-hop-act just for being part of group that is hip hop without a doubt. Stacy Ferguson is known for being the white girl in Black Eyed Peas. She is also the one that gave BEP their first number one single (Boom Boom Pow in the US/Where Is The Love? elsewhere) . She herself accomplished the same as solo artist three times in the United States. Eventhough as a solo artist she is more of a pop singer, her catalogue features also hip-hop-songs like "Glamorous" (featuring Ludacris), "Party People" (featuring Nelly), "El Impacto" (with Daddy Yankee) and "Fergalicious" (with bandmate will.i.am).

REMY MA

FACTS
POSITION: #59
SCORE: 35
Career Glance: "There's Something About Remy: Based on a True Story" that's the name of Bronx-based rapper's debut album, released in 2006. But far before that Remy Ma was a big name in the hip hop industry. Already in 1999 she made a name for her self as part of her mentor Fat Joe's group Terror Squad. Also was she one of the first female MC's to occupy the number one spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Next the #1 "Lean Back" she is also responsible for hits like "Whuteva" and "Concieted"

In fairness, this should be your top 50 hip hop acts you voted for.

For example, TQ for me was someone I do consider hip hop, but not as hip hop as the ones I voted higher up. Therefore he was proportionately a bit low on my list.

I think Fergie's in a fair place given whether she is right or not to be in a list like this.

by **MrFreddyGhost** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 8:57 pm

Some of these acts I've never heard of...

Fergie is more of a pop/R&B singer than a rap-artists... But it's ok she's on the list.

THE STREETS

FACTS
POSITION: #55
SCORE: 39
Career Glance:Probably the most well known UK rapper between 2002 and 2008 The Streets has accomplished a lot. Two studio albums atop the UK Albums chart, one number-one-single and having one succesful outsold tour after the other. The Streets can truly be called a UK-garage-legend. Even eight years after his debut he is still one of the most consistent UK-acts, that enjoys success internationally.
