    I kno' we're all hip-hop aficionados here...But we, like metal heads...need to accept that our genre just is does not produce musicians the calibre of the Beatles...Or Prince...Or Jimi...

    Mos Def/Yasiin Bey
    Lauryn Hill
    Nas
    Common

    ... those are the only ones who are candidates IMO.

    Oh....

    Aaliyah woudlve have been on Beyonce status if she made it home that day.

    She had the album in place, her movies where about to come out she was ready to blow..no doubt

    No other female artist at the time was singing and dancing other than Janet. And in 04 Cirara came with it.

    Aaliyah influenced alot of r&b singers especially Beyonce...A LOT. If you wanna mention Bey dont forget Aaliyah

    Of course, i got plenty rappers in my top 20 artists of all time.

    Rap music is unlike any other genre, when its good its great.

    Its the most unfiltered music

    Pac, Outkast, Eminem (for some), Jay Z, Kanye even

    They make great music, not just good raps

    Well another thing is hip-hop is sooo different than anyother genre of music. The emphasis is taken away from voice and instrument playing and placed on lyrics, storytelling and rhyme schemes

    Honestly I feel confident in saying that no other genre of music has produced more creative (I gave you power, lyrical exercise, i used to love her) or vivid(? bleed, Brendas got a baby)songs than hip hop

    She was already on top before she died. U just a sick ? for making fun of a dead woman.


    Beyonce will be known for what she has done just the same way Aaliyah has
    its been 11 years since she died and shes still being mentioned

    If you could put a group in the list then definitely Outkast. If it had to be a solo artist then no.
