Did you watch Bet’s top tenrappers of the twenty first century countdown?
If you didn’t you didn’t miss too much. It was just a panel of bias judges.
They have either with, worked alongside, or been employed by the entire artist that made the countdown.
It was too funny. Some of that artist clearly did not need to be on that countdown.
They were not trying to do research of any kind to make their decisions.
The only thing more amusing about the countdown it’s self was the emcee’s and artists that didn’t make the ridiculously laughable list. Getting all bent out of shape about a list that has no real merit.
It was basically some randomly thrown together bull s#h*t . There are a lot of rappers really upset behind not making the list. So they didn’t make the list. Boo Freakn whooo. So what!! I look at it like this.
If you’re an emcee or artist and you’ve been constantly making albums, touring, doing mixtapes, acting, getting endorsement deals, or just getting money in the industry for five years or longer you straight. Stop trippn.
I know you probably take your craft seriously (and you should) However; this countdown was clearly not official.
Don’t get yourself all worked up over nothing. The last thing hip hop needs is another war. If History has taught us anything it’s how easily the media takes things out of context. Like for example another artist bruiting about not making the list and inadvertently putting down a rapper that did make the list on camera.
If you’re rapping right now you should be thankful. The true pioneers blazed a trail for you. There are so many new ways for an emcee to get money in the rap game it’s not even funny. These opportunities were not available to rappers in the early eighties, nineties, and even the early years of 2k. You should be thankful you're able to make money off your gift and be in the position to help other people. You don’t need some top ten list to validate your significance as an emcee or artist.
