Are two long ass mixtapes, multiple leaked tracks/singles, and numerous features not enough material for you to consider them to be solidified? I don't doubt my boy Jermaine.

Are you kidding.....you have him on your list before BIG and Tupac and many others...and YES that is not enough..

J. Cole prolly has a bigger discography than BIG does..... not justifying him putting j cole in his list just pointing that out....

 

[2001]

Big and Pac are not my cup of tea. Sorry.

I resign. it's just your opinion.

If we are going to put a rapper who hasn't debuted yet on a top 10 of all time list it should be Jay Electronica.

Anyways to contribute to the thread. I am desperately trying to make my list....I have the first 6 but I just really don't think I have the knowledge to finish it yet. Maybe in some time.

shad is too dope

Definitely. I just found out about him this year, and I've had The Old Prince and TSOL playing almost constantly for months. He's got life lessons in almost every verse, and he's so far from corny or preaching. It's unbelievable.
