Snoop probably said that because music to be murdered by was trash

that makes sense

eminem is one of the best rappers and also snoop dog is dead

oh wait no nate dog is dead

Snoop's list of the top 5 is okay I guess (although putting himself on it was a dick move), and it doesn't sound quite so bad if you read the article, but gratuitously adding that Em isn't even top 10?

Something's wrong, I can feel it

Wonder how Em will clap back

Vanilla Ice Mach II is a phony mass marketed item for suburban 'whites' looking for street cred and sucks. Get over it.

Oh yeah: and feel free to explain to everyone your ridiculous assertion that “hip-hop” is a made-up term

B-Boy Music, you silly ignoramus.
Bx, NY, NY, remember? A quarter century before you were zygoted on a petri dish, kid?
Sheeyat, you weren't even alive when Yo! MTV Raps was on, Vanilla Rice!

The only thing worse that B-Boys are lame assed suburbanite wannabe 'Hippity Hoppers' and worst of them lot is y'all Dixiers.

"Stop yo frontin, homestyle stuff, it be illin"

Do u even Wikipedia tho

No, you massive moron. I was there.

Perhaps you were really there from the start, but somehow you missed this.

And... well, the next several decades of rappers talking about hip-hip culture.

Yeah, I kinda missed reading up on Wiki back in the 70s, muh bad.

B-Boy Music didn't start in '78.
You weren't alive in '78.
You can't go back to '78.
I was here in '78.

Sucks to be you.
Lots.

I’m fine with not having been alive in ‘78 and I don’t want to go back to ‘78. I’m sure it was a hoppin’ good time though.

Thanks to the internet, these days we can listen to the music of ‘78, the music of today, everything that came between, and brush up on all of the history of the above all at once.

It’s a common tendency to lionize the music of our youth and dismiss everything that came after as a pale imitation.

That outlook is pretty much always bullshit.

I was literally here back when it began, Vanilla Rice Rice faker, you're just a hick commercialized pablum fan whose own parents never even got the chance to hear it till a whole decade or so after - and that's providing they had that cable tv thingy in them thar hillz.

And the icing is I didn't even like the crap, while you're jealous because you weren't in my shoes, wokeboi.

I take it you saw my contributuon to your Kylie stream?
Aww, no worries, tiger, you can thank wifey fer that,,, *wink*

Gaagh, the biggest liar on imgflip almost got me!

The voices in your head, do they screaam loudly, Vanilla Rice?

If you think me Googling something to disprove your dumb revisionist history about the term “hip-hop” is the equivalent of your doubling-down on the importance of ‘78

Well, I guess we’re just going to have to agree to disagree

'78? Did you not read your own replies, dumbass?

I guess you do not understand how conversations work

Anywho: My point is there are more years in hip-hip history than just ‘78

About... *does math* 40+ of them in fact

No, I did NOT bring up '78.

YOU did.

Scroll up, faker.

You mean this screed about the importance of ‘78,

Who wrote that?

2/10 trolling effort. You’re normally better than this, then again it is Saturday

Hun, if that was the case you'd be sticking with YOUR Taylor Swift and Justine Bieber instead of pretending you know something about what I lived through or obsessing to a freaky deaky degree about a has-been two-hit blunder whose first hit came out when your parents were in middle school.

But then again, technically speakin that is NOT music of your youth, now is it, Vanilla Rice? (see what I did there?)

I’m not the one waxing incessantly on the music of ‘78.

Type in “b-boy” and it redirects here.

Breakdancing is a sub-part of hip-hop culture but it isn’t the whole thing.

B-Boy MUSIC, you raging twit.

And much to my chagrin, I heard that crap before I knew what that noise was.

- wait till you hear how they used to say back then it originated in Newark, not Washington Ave in the Bx as the story goes now.

Heck, I bought Liquid Liquid's EP straight from 99 MacDougal before they got ripped off for White Lines and the biggest faker on this site is pretending he can lecture me about something that began when his parents weren't even teens yet.

Skip off, Hillbot.

Remember when B.I.G. said this back in ‘94?

Indeed: Hip-Hop never would have taken it this far if Vagabond had been in charge of anything

Folks have been dismissing Eminem as the next Vanilla Ice for two-plus decades

The latter was a one-hit wonder ripoff of a much-better Queen song that he blatantly tried to claim wasn’t

The former is the top-selling rapper of all time who has worked with artists across the industry, changed the game at his pinnacle in the early-mid 2000s, inspired countless others (Hopsin, NF, etc.), and many more

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_artists_influenced_by_Eminem

Commands massive respect and has lyrically slaughtered pretty much anyone who dared to disagree

The only trait those two share in common is their skin color

Next

Next? As if. That bitch isn't even on the list by the REAL deal, son.

Or ain'tchu seen this here meme:

Top-10 lists are inherently subjective. That’s what makes them so fun and interesting. And we’ve been blessed with so many great rappers over the years that you could make thousands of different versions of a top 10 list and they’d all be interesting and valid.

I’m not going to sit here and claim there is a definitive Top 10 list, and that if you don’t put this rapper or that rapper on it then you’re a massive moron.

But putting yourself on the top 5 and then going out of your way to say someone else isn’t top 10? Kind of a jerk move. Maybe it was calculated by Snoop to put him in the headlines (and it worked), maybe he does really feel that way.

Now

Eminem and I’m sure Snoop too have been on many a Top-10 list. They’ve both clearly been highly impactful on hip-hop culture.

Depends on what your criteria are. If you prioritize technical skills, lyricism, and songwriting ability, then you’re more likely to place Eminem on your list.

If you prize things like making catchy, iconic tunes, and contribution of catchphrases, and a history of collaborating with other artists and even those outside the hip-hop world, then you might be more likely to place Snoop.

Although Eminem shines in the catchiness, versatility, and collaboration categories as well.

THOUSANDS? Are you high?

Skip your weak patronizing faux wannabe expertisms, you ain't hood, PERIOD.

In the box in the basement with her assortment of 'empty lipstick cases'

At least thousands.

You could have the same 9 rappers in the Top 9 and then have your pick of at least a hundred great rappers to fill the last slot.

Rinse & repeat several times and you get thousands

What’s your list of the 10?

Any rappers you’d consider absolutely essential to the point if they weren’t on the list, you’d throw a fit?

10? Lucky if I can name half that, the genre sucks - real bad.
It's repurposed (AKA stolen) bits of other music with some loud mouthed faker trying to pretend he's a criminal yapping some really amaturish nonsensical rhyming over it.

In fact, the very very few I do like are latter day outfits that just so happen to use actual original instrumentation (with some whatever scratching peppered atop) and don't sound like the rest of the clones with their rapping. You know, that make REAL songs.

Well, thank you for being honest.

You may have been there for the birth of hip-hop (that’s really cool btw), and have taste so discerning that you can’t even name 10 rappers, but it seems to me that you have very little interest in how

There are a whole ton of non-mainstream rappers

MF Doom, Pharoahe Monch, Q-Tip & A Tribe Called Quest, heck evening Ghostface & the other Wu-Tang artists have put out a lot of offbeat creative content with heavy use of live instrumentation

Check out 12 reasons to die and the other albums in that wheelhouse

Try reading what I said, SLOWLY.

But seeing as you're a bit of a raging simpleton, can't name past 5 top because the rest of the genre sucks that bad - do you require Google Translate fer that one, Vanilla Rice?

Here, let me do it tailored for your wannabe ears in a manner as fake as you: Sucka MCs ain't be def, yo, that sit be ill, ite?

Love your "pulled from the Top 40 MTV Hitz" suggestions tho. Yeah, totally hip.
You forgot Kid & Play tho, homie ;p

I thought you’d calmed down and were ready to have a rational conversation.

Seems your antipathy has gotten the better of you again

Feel free to name the only 5 rappers you know, I’m curious

Other than that, it seems the useful commentary you have to offer about this music genre has reached the end of its rope

How the genre has developed over 4+ decades*

I let that thought drop

And there aren't "thousands" - unless you include random flotsam yammering on the Subway that never shall record a smidgen.
