[HiLsyde707Kloun]

Who's above him? I can't even remember 45 others.

 

[J-FUNKTION]

AFTER the biggie and 2pac era...still 46th nonetheless

 

[mikevick]

damn i wanna fuck lauren london.....

 

[Chree]

Damn mac dre died only to achieve #46 in XXL?
crazy

 

[Defy]

y'all acting like he's getting shafted or something. this is good that he's getting acknowledgment for his achievements, and at least he's in the top 50. off the top of my head I could name at least 25 bigger moments, and 5 of them are deaths of other rappers....well, rappers/dj's

 

[underground]

thats dope

 

[dj pimp]

there's lots of stuff that could be before his death. remember they're going by a national write up. u got others who passed like big pun, big l, jam master jay, and many others includin pac and biggie, also shooting incedents like shyne, c-murder, hammer goin broke, lil kim goin to prison, mase joining the church, mobb deep signing to g-unit, eminem selling over a million in the first week, nas gettin married, wu-tang breakin up, pimp c, these are just off the top of my head. i aint read it, but i bet its a good read. with all lists of that type, i bet nobody will agree 100%, i'm just glad that someone we love so much like mac dre even made the list. hip hop has been goin strong for over 30 years so 100 things aint really very many to choose from.

 

[HiLsyde707Kloun]

Oh, shit...I didn't even look @ moments. I wuz thinkin' of murders/deaths status.

[DukeNaintEZ]

I swear people will find anything to bitch about, nothings ever good enough,how bout this, call XXL and complain to them about Dre not being #1 on their list, or better yet, publish your own mag and put Dre in the #1 spot, then you might be satisfied
