Yeah i was kinda thinkin dre shoulda been higher...but his albums are fire because of features. I never really liked him as a rapper, but definitely know most the words to his shit. But missy she was on another level with her shit, creative af too, she like the busta rhymes of ladies.

Best performances, videos are wild, and he be spittin! He been doin it since the 80s! Even with Leaders of the New School...byt when he dropped his verse on scenario and said "Rawl Rawl! Like a dungeon dragon...change ya shitty drawers cause ya pants are saggin!" That was it!!
Seen his shows like 6 times...he always kills it!!

Interesting list. Quite a few left off, but to each their own. I did read the article and it's based on multiple criteria, billboard hits and all that is only a portion.
"following criteria, not in any particular order: body of work/achievements (charted singles/albums, gold/platinum certifications), cultural impact/influence (how the artist’s work fostered the genre’s evolution), longevity (years at the mic), lyrics (storytelling skills) and flow (vocal prowess)."
Personally, this system doesn't make any sense based on the list they supplied. Anyway....
Some of the people on it, I just don't understand their position or why they are on it at all. Others I can make a really good case for, like Jay being #1. Not my personal preference, but I can see how/why it makes sense for him to be there.
Missy is probably right around where she is supposed to be.
