Let's not forget Canibus though just saying he up there too

Solo Andre3000

You ain't lying Bee, this cat keeps getting more incredible!!!!!!!

Lupe don't sleep on him Mural , Redman, Andre 3000, MF Doom R.I.P. , Royce da 5' 9"

U absolutely correct. What's crazy to me was how he went from the 94 Tariq to the present day Thought. It's the only career that is classified as the most progressive rise as one of most intrepid MCs EVER! We are blessed just witnessing superior talent shine over soulful delivery only getting better in this 36-year legacy. Nobody can take his top spot. K.o.

Understatement

@chrispatterson4814 I'm sorry as much, but none of those guys you named are top 10. Although Redman is waaaaay underrated, and so is Royce da 5"9. MF Doom was just ok to me. Not a Nad MC by any means, but he wasn't on my list of top MCs. He is solid but not in the top 10 or 20 in the opinion of most. May he rest in power. I don't listen to Lupe, so I can't endorse him for top 10. Andre 3000 has absolutely no place in the discussion. But he does have a solid Body of work, and he is fun to listen to. Much respect to Andre! Every rapper you mentioned deserves respect. Top 10, however, is where we must respectively disagree.

@@wizehassan .

Exactly man Lol 😅🤣. Poor IQ to comprehend.

Facts!!!

Andre 3000

It's not that. Tarik is overlooked for the same reason Nas is, they're not amongst the most popular or amongst the visibly monied.

Brah....hes not over looked. He your favorite rappers favorite rapper. He has won grammys and is on a late night show. Has songs with griselda artists all the way. In philly where i am from he is everyones top 5. He even spoke at Harvard , hes on some next level shit . It goes biggie, mos def, black thought, andre3000, and eminem.

@@toogoodfoods only us Philly people know about THOUGHT or THE ROOTS. We just get down better in Philly.

I've had the fortune in life to have seen this man live over 50 times with different shows and acts and literally not even one did I feel like I overpaid, compared to some other musical artists as I've learned sadly. His passion and drive for hip-hop is unmatched. Unmatched dedication to improvement and progression reminds me of Eddie Van Halen with the guitar. You only realize how serious an artist is about their craft if you have the fortune of meeting them in person. I expect Thought to phone in a verse with the same expectation I had towards Eddie phoning in a solo and playing hot cross buns.

@@darksyde3000 Thanks bro!

BT is how you get white people to understand hip hop. So many times playing the smoother, more easier-listening Tariq jawns, and then..."Wait, did he just say...?!" Exactly what you heard, yes. Wanna hear him in full Goblin Mode? 😂

I'd agree but you're insinuating a constant declination which is not Thought 💭

True indeed sis! 👊🏾

AZ is one of the greatest!✊🏽✊🏽

And bring back Big L
