Soulja Boy should not have even been nominated. the only rappers that deserve to be on there are.... Talib Kweli, Scarface, Ghostface, Raekwon, Jadakiss, Nas, Method Man, Ice Cube, and Crooked I. i say Crooked I will be the under dog. but WTF how you guna make this list with no Guru from Gang Starr!?!?
as far as the Bay part goes.... i can't think of an ALIVE rapper that could compete in this besides maybe Equipto, The Jacka or A-Wax. shit i really don't know..
