"just bolded the top 5 coz thats wut im listening to rite now heh... not coz i think them better than the rest..."

This is why I look down on the tastes of the general rap audience.

some of you people have to be kidding me, ludacris comeon hes lucky if hes in the top 50. Obie trice get real how can you base that off one cd. Given it wasnt as bad as ludacris'. Then someone said loon and memphis bleek... LOL. Is anyone else seeing this besides me. Funk ripper has a nice list though so does malachi. Somone put xzibit... this keeps getting better and better. No wonder rap has become what it is, and is now just a mere shadow of its former self.

minnesota style nice picks mine would be similiar.
