@Supreme EVERYBODY will say they'd rather stay underground with low pay, but if they had the chance, they'd deff all take the mainstream spot.

Money, Fame, the chance for billions to hear your music > some bullshit about staying 'true' to yourself that you'd find in a hormonal girls diary

Top 5 active deffly. I'd put him around 7-8 all time dead or alive.

@Verity : I disagree, unless we're specifically referring to broke and/or stupid people. I'm perfectly content with my job, and I'm pretty introverted, so I don't like exaggerated attention. Unless I *knew* I was gonna make millions (which I didn't mean, in the original question, I should have been more specific), and be able to support my kids, their kids, and their kids kids, I'd have no reason to need all that excessive attention. I know most people love that shit, but I'm not feelin' it. As long as I were doin' about as well financially as I am now (which isn't too much), I have no desire for that type of fame. I would much rather be respected for my talents as an artist, than have my abilities questioned on the daily, because I'm being payed big money for something many people didn't feel I earned/deserved. Your argument is definitely valid, though. I am quite aware that MOST people would claim the respected route, and take the famous route if they *really* had the option.

Ladies went from "Hey Chris, to GOD DAMN LUDA!" ...Like that line, not that sophisticated, but the way he delivers it makes it dope. His delivery is one of the main reasons I have him ranked in my top 5.

"It's mighty strange how your peephole is my fuckin gauge, catch you at ya concert n wipe you off the fuckin stage" .. hahaha.

I agree.

Lmao...luda is like top 30 all time. He never once spit a bar that had actual relevance to life or reflected on anything related to the struggle. He is a gifted comedic writer with some good knack to flow but as a hip hop emcee...i dont think he's deep enough to be top 5

killzy is waaaaaay to on point wit it ^, he aint top 5 yoooooooooooo

shit id give him top 30 all time too but only because theres soo much bitchassness in the industry, he can make a track on some funny shit or some punchin shit but diverse and deep, ehhhh

smh @ RULE, that Runaway track is trash lol... I mean Luda got flow but the bars are sooo mediocre its ridiculous and almost funny... THanks for the laugh tho

Its a track about real issues, that was the point.
