top 10 rappers of all time

[EminemBase]

Hm, okay. I don't personally 'cancel albums out', I don't see how that make sense. He still made them and they still exist... he could make another 50 Encore's but SSLP, MMLP and TES still exist and their qualities haven't been diminished or extinguished, they're right there, independently.

Tarantino made Deathrpoof, but it can't cancel out Pulp Fiction to me. It's still there.

Yeah but they bring down the quality of his overall career

Yeah they do, but so then you're rating their career?

For me, top 10 rappers is, just who's the best rappers, when they are at their best. And who can create the best albums, not like...

Because otherwise you could have just a really good rapper, who puts out 6 really good albums... vs. a genius rapper who puts out 2 genius albums and 4 average-bad ones, and you'd rate the really good one a better rapper? the genius rapper to me, is still genius / better, capable of more.

The good rapper would be more consistent there, but not better or even as good.

I mean yeah...because another trait of being a rapper is being able to put out quality music over a long number of years. I guess if I was ranking it by how good each rapper was in their prime then Em would be up there.

Yeah Mc Bliss is extremely good. I think their best album to check out would be Running On Air because it's the easiest to get into. Eso kind of holds him back though.
