Eeek!

So...

I was alone in voting Everlast, Oxide and Neutrino, So Solid Crew and Warren G!

I cast 3 of the Q-Tip points as well.

Forgot/didn't quite include both Mos Def and Cypress Hill.

I barely know Loon. Twista's hit or miss, and Lil' Jon is a meh from me.

by **IAmWill** » Fri Aug 28, 2009 9:59 pm

Quite like Twista & Lil' Jon but not much and Mos Def was good in 'Cadillac Records' :lol:

by **crazycool** » Fri Aug 28, 2009 10:05 pm

No great losses there, I liked Loon's rap in Toni Braxton's "Hit The Freeway" though.

DJ Jazzy Jeff / Fresh Prince, LL Cool J and Beastie Boys not even in the top 80 ever???

Never heard of most other acts, or, if I did, I wish I hadn't.

by **matthew_dixon** » Sat Aug 29, 2009 7:49 pm

Two more there I was alone in voting for - Jazzy Jeff/Fresh Prince and Beastie Boys

With the likes of Beastie Boys and LL Cool J already out - I dread to think who's won this!

by **crazycool** » Sat Aug 29, 2009 10:59 pm

Can't believe I didn't vote for Da Brat!

Estelle above NWA.

by **matthew_dixon** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 9:38 pm

Two more from my votes have fallen there.

Memphis Bleek is somewhat of a personal favourite, ever since I heard "What You Think Of That?"

Goldie Lookin' Chain are liked only by UK chavs and the people of South Wales. I'm in the latter category, and hence songs like "Half Man, Half Machine", "R&B", "Your Missus Is A Nutter" and "Guns Don't Kill People, Rappers Do" are ace, in my opinion! :lol:

ALMOST MAKING IT (POPART II)#78-77

#78 AMIL

FACTS
POSITION: #78
SCORE 27
Career Glance: You might not instantly remember the New York-born rapper but once you think bout Jay-Z smash hits like "Can I Get A..." and "Jigga What, Jigga Who" that is gonna change. She started her carreer in the late 90's as a member of underground all-female hip-hop-group "Major Coinz". After being discovered by aforementioned Jay-Z. She got signed to Def Jam Records and recorded duets with the likes of Mariah Carey, LL Cool J, Jermaine Dupri and also led the than less-known Beyoncé to have her first solo single - a misssuccess. Since her debut album's "All Money Is Legal" two singles both flopped she was dropped from the label and is still trying to cure from this carreer-killer. Her most recent work is a 2009 collaboration on AZ's album "Undeniable"

Voter's Voice:

#77 THE ROOTS

FACTS
POSITION: #77
SCORE 27
Career Glance: The Roots are one of the few acts on here that have their origin in the 1980's. They are famed for beginning with a jazzy, eclectic approach to hip hop which still includes live instrumentals. Their debut LP Organix was finally released in 1993 independantly. This album led to their first majorly released CD: "Do You Want More". But the ultimate breakthrough would not happen until 1999 withe the release of the critically acclaimed smash album "Things Fall Apart", which featured one of ther signature-songs like "You Got Me" (featuring Erykah Badu). The album was followed 2002 record "Phrenology" containing fellow signature-tune "The Seed (2.0). Having worked with major hip hop legend Jay-Z on an "MTV Unplugged" and being a frequent guest on the Billboard 200's Top Ten (the last time in 2008) the band remains relevant and remembered.

Not a huge fan of the Roots but I do really love 'Don't Feel Right'

by **urbanmusik** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 7:40 pm

Twista and admittedly Lil' Jon have had a few good songs! How can Pharrell have 22 points if I alone gave him 23? Deserved entry as he's had some good solo records. I've also lost Estelle from my votes! She deserved that spot so I'm happy I guess!

I sure hope Flo Rida doesn't make an entry! 2 if my votes are down, so most must have done well Sorry guys, I don't know most of the older stuff btw.

TAMPA TONY

FACTS
POSITION: #75
SCORE 29
Career Glance: Well... little is known about this rapper. He is probably best known for his one and only preofessionally recorded song "J.O.D.D." (with Khia & Trick Daddy) from 2004, which appeared on Trick Daddy's album "Thug Matrmony: Marriage to the Streets"... Maybe there is more to come from the Florida-based rapper...

That's random! LOL.
