[GUILLOTINE]

Thats what happens when a bunch of middle aged white-folks get together to discuss "Hip-Hop". Fuckin sad.

 

[sav-man]

Snoop Dogg, DMX, Missy Elliot and P-Diddy are ranked higher than Ice Cube, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and Gang Starr?!? LMFAO! But hey, it's VH-1, so I guess I can't expect too much...PEACE!

 

[RaginHomosexual]

Why no E-40???? Half of the mutha fuckas on that list inlcuding Jay Z sure profited thanx to 40. Why no Too SHort? He's pretty much the "pioneer" of all the rappers nowdays claiming to be macks and pimps.... and Too SHorts been around for like 20 years...maaaan!!!

 

[RaginHomosexual]

Why no E-40???? Half of the mutha fuckas on that list inlcuding Jay Z sure profited thanx to 40.

jay-z did? how?

 

[verbal kevlar]

lmfao we watched that shit last night..for one thing

Does ANYONE remember when VH1 played nothing but fuckin Rod Stewart an Kenny G?? THAFUC they know about hip hop?

and two...EVE?? Um...theres too many new cats that have a long road to follow before they can prove themselves.....

 

[Locahontas]

I'm better than Eve.

 

[5ive1en]

How did Jay profit from 40? "Jay to the izoo h to the izoo fo shizzle my nizzle...blah blah blah" check some of his slang.... YOu think Snoop was the first to come up with that? I think if Jay Z is on there, 40 deserved some credidt too. Then you got his homie Cammron coming out with "oh boy" and "whats really good"

 

[YoungVicious]

LMAO at that list...

Where the fuck did the rankings for Eric B. & Rakim and Big Daddy Kane come from? Thats #s 1 and 2 right there.

And where's Kool G. Rap?

[Willy Jones]

VH1 is by suburban whites who don't listen to hip hop - the list should be

LIST OF SMELLY NIGGERS WE DON'T LIKE BUT SOMETIMES THEY HAVE CATCHY TUNES THAT MAKE US SNAP OUR FINGERS YAY YAY YAY!! THEY ARE RANKED IN ORDER OF HOW MUCH THEIR BLACK MONKEY ASSES BREAK THROUGH TO OUR TOP 40. BTW WHEN IS THE NEXT EMINEM COMING OUT?
