Yahoo Picks the Worst Rappers of All-Time

Yahoo Picks the Worst Rappers of All-Time



Yahoo, who's apparently a new authority on hip hop, has just released their list of the top-25 worst rappers of all time. While the list, at times reflects accuracy, the inclusion of a fresh pioneer like Will Smith is indicative of the fact that whoever wrote the list, shouldn't have written the list. Number-one should be obvious (think, who's the most scrutinized rapper ever?). Overall,  debates are becoming a synonymous tradition with the culture, so it's certainly worth-while to scope the list.

I just saw this list as I was psuedo-working at my dead-end. I noticed the writer getting some flak from every angle rants ranging from "Nelly is good", and "you must be white", to "the Chicago Bears should be #1" were flung from comment wall to comment wall. None quite struck the "OHHHH" moment for me, as their arguments overlooked the answer to all of their own ignorance: A list that includes the Bears, Dan Akroyd, and Elvira as rappers is so blatantly full of shit that any offense to it should be met with a swift back hand. To the person who clicked the list looking for an honest compilation (like myself and this blogger), the inclusion of Sparxx, Nelly, and company was a confirmation of personal opinion, but the listing of Smith is shaky at best. Pioneers turned commercial gimmick-rappers are still pioneers.

The 25 Worst Rappers Countdown deserves no credibility whatsoever. Will Smith not a rapper despite earning the first ever Hip Hop Grammy? The list is ridiculous.. I'm surprised the author didn't destroy Blondie for her Rapture verse. Fucking idiot.

Can you get more sacriligious to Hip Hop than dissing 2 LIVE CREW?? They put Southern Hip Hop on the map and created a whole new musical genre (miami bass) for artists like 69 Boyz, Trick Daddy, and Quad City DJs (whom the author obviously prefers) yet are named as one of the worst rappers ever? Hey Yahoo, your memory must be terrible cause Madonna rapped on her 2003 album American Life to much dismay. Trust me, your article left me with a lot more questions. Fucking idiot.

Correction. More sacriligious would be to diss Fab Five Freddy, Cool Herc, or Grand Master Flash. Please forgive my lapse of memory. I AM a fucking idiot jejeje
