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

We've all heard it enough, I'll just say Wayne doesn't belong there but the biggest insult is Drake. That idiot has no talent, nothing worth anybody's time and why the hell he's even around I've done Einstein worthy calculations to figure out.
Closest I got is A66^888b/46x99Y+3 = Chair.
Fuck Drake.

Take down Rick Ross and Young Jeezy, theyre not that great. They should've at least had Big Boi or Andre 3000 on there, Outkast is so much better than the LOX, and Lupe Fiasco in there as well. Drake is aight, but he hasn't been around long enough. Most of all, Tech needs to at least be in the top 3 of that list. Move Wayne down to the 4 spot.

How does Drake make a list of top rappers of the 21st century when he has 1 album out that got a average rating from crticts? I hate when they do this shit because they just take whatever is hot at the moment and put them on the list wheres Jay-z, Nas?? Idiots

W.............................T..............................F. There needs to be a whole new format to picking these lists. Top 5 from West, East, Mid and South. (who the fuck is north anyway). Then do a Playoff type thing with rappers picking them. Not a&r's, not CEO's, just rappers and producers.

agreed and why would they base anything off their digital skills? like their facebook helps them rap
Cole said: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.
