What do yall think of BET'S 10 Best Rappers
Check Out BET's Top 10 Rappers Of The 21st Century List. What's Your Opinion On It?
BET held it's round table discussion to determine the "Top Ten Rappers Of The 21st Century" last night October 15.
After many heated arguments, the list was finalized. Fans are bound to find the list controversial.
Right off the top I noticed one glaring omission.
Here's how the list was decided according to BET.com
BET’s "Top 10 Rappers of the 21st Century" is a fierce, no-holds-barred, hour-long special that reveals the ultimate Top 10 List of the last decade’s hottest rappers, whose careers blew up from 1999 to today.
BET’s "Top 10 Rappers" is the definitive hip-hop countdown by the ground-breaking network that gave love to hip-hop before anyone else dared. BET threw open nominations to BET digital followers, industry bloggers and other social influencers (our “Grand Jury”). More than 25,000 votes later, they returned a Top 15 list of rappers for consideration. Now, our “Hip-Hop Supreme Court” is convening to vote on the final Top Ten, based on a rapper’s: flow, lyrics, subject matter, cultural impact, dough, and as needed in the arsenal of a 21st Century rapper –digital skills (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, their own website, etc.).
The Court represents all of the regions of the country, and consists of nine select industry insiders – many of whom were raised on hip-hop: Jermaine Dupri (Producer - ATL); Chuck "Jigsaw" Creekmur (AllHipHop.com); Boy 1da (Producer);DJ Diamond Kuts (Power 99 FM - Philadelphia); DJ Greg Street (V103 - ATL); Tony Neal (CEO, Core DJs); DJ Timbuck2 (107.5 WGCI – Chicago); Chloe Hilliard (Managing Editor/Social Media Manager, Vibe Magazine - NYC); and DJ Vlad (VladTV.com - NYC).
In their technologically tricked-out courtroom, the Court is led by the Justice – Big Tigger, who takes them through the debates and discussions about each of their own Top 10 rankings. Live votes allow Court members to sway each others’ minds about their original Top 10 Lists with each countdown position!
The Top 10
# 1 Eminem
Selling more records than anyone on the list, Eminem is not only praised for his commercial success, but is highly respected by his peers for his skill.
# 2 Lil Wayne
Lil' Wayne is a rock star. The Young Money Millionaire has shown the most growth in the 21st century.
# 3 Kanye West
The highly successful rapper/producer Kanye West is more than just a rapper. But the level of his rap game has been elevated since his debut.
# 4 50 Cent
In less than 10 years, 50 Cent has released four albums, three of which have gone platinum (or in some cases, multi-platinum). This controversial rapper has consistently put out hits.
# 5 T.I.
ATL-native T.I. may be controversial in his actions, but when it comes to rap, this MC has got the South on lock
# 6 Ludacris
It's hard to talk about the 21st century without mentioning Ludacris. The Atlanta-based rapper is arguably one of the most consistent when it comes to the quality of his music.
# 7 Drake
Aubrey "Drake" Graham has managed to win over the hearts of hip hop fans this past year. After releasing his debut album, "Thank Me Later," Drake has shown that he is the one to watch
# 8 Young Jeezy
Young Jeezy bumps in every whip, from the North to the South. This Southern MC is respected for his hardcore delivery and thug narratives.
# 9 Jadakiss
Jadakiss has always been praised for his complex rhymes and the meaning behind his words.
# 10 Officer Rick Ross
Rick Ross bossed up the game in the 21st century. He is one of the few rappers to survive a 50 Cent rivalry by continuing to put out quality music

I haven't seen the whole list, but this is the citeria to get on it...
Tech should be on it, somewhere, but lets face it, he doeznt dominate all of thoze catagoriez az of right now.
Strange and Tech are blowin up, but they are still a dot on the radar compared some of theze other guyz.
People who say Tech iz the best rapper alive are good to have az fanz, but its an uneducated over-statement...
You don't know EVERY rapper alive...
The best rapper alive iz prolly sum dude/girl who just raps for the fuck of it, and nobody important has ever heard em, somewhere out there among the 6.5 Billion people we got campin on thiz planet.

i "agree" (meaning i can see why they would make BET's list) with all of them except Drake and Rick Ross. Obviously Eminem is #1, thats not even a debate. but In Drake's case, how the hell can you make a top ten of the 21st century list when you only dropped one album and were only relevant from like 2008 on. thats straight up retarded. and Rick Ross is just absolutely terrible in my opinion, more so than everyone else on that list.

I'm content with Em, Weezy, and Luda on the list but as for the rest...
I never really thought Kanye was ever that great. It's like he demands the respect of an O.G. while he sits back and makes music that doesn't reflect that being deserved. 50 was great up until he decided to ruin his career by switching to beef mode. Really takes away from the actual music being made and his persona as a whole to me. Jeezy is fucking trash with his basic elementary rhymes and unbearable vocals. Drake hasn't impressed me thus far with his whole new school get down and retarded metaphors. He needs to stop trying so hard to be Wayne and truly find his own style. Rick Ross consistently repeats everything he raps about song after song, album after album. How many times can you rephrase your flow and make it sound the same? That seems to be his business scheme I'm assuming. I'm not going to dock T.I. or Jadakiss but I'll pull a Big Scoob and just say, "not my cup of tea".
