Tech N9ne lists his Top 9 emcees, "dead or alive."

Postby 1LynguisticMind » Oct 18th, '13, 18:08

Tech N9ne was recently asked to list his Top 9 emcees, including all rappers whether they are dead or alive.

"Eminem is in there," Tech N9ne said during the interview with Columbus, Ohio radio station Power 107.5. "Tech N9ne is in there. Tupac is in there. The Notorious B.I.G. is in there. Big L is in there. Nas is in there. Jay Z is in there. Kendrick Lamar is in there. And one more. Let's see. It's gotta be somebody good, man."

After a pensive moment, Tech N9ne said the ninth slot would be decided between two emcees.

"It's between KRS-One and Rakim,"

Great list. But he could rap fucking circles around Jay-Z. I'm sorry but he could.

Okay. Lol. Jay is so fucking mediocre dude. Get over it. His first album was a classic, that is it. The Black Album was his last good album.

How the hell is Tech N9ne a worse rapper than Jay-Z? Enlighten me please, Mr. Yeezus Lover. Tech flows better, raps better, rhymes better, has more concepts. Jay raps about the same fucking shit in every song. He is so stale. He isn't terrible, but he is no longer Top 10 worthy. His past and how much he sells shouldn't make him a GOAT. As I said, he has only a small handful of good albums out of the like 40 that he has released. No more than like 3 or 4 are any good.

But this is opinion, and that's all ANYTHING is. Yes, I believe that Tech is a far better rapper than Jay-Z. Cry about it, argue with me, or move the fuck on.

True. All of them are at least worthy all the way, the rest is subjective.

Why are people mad at him for putting Kendrick on his list? Biggie didn't have much material either but he's a certified GOAT.

Kendrick might or might not be there yet, but he's following that path. S80 and GKMC were absolutely amazing. And he's still killing it. His features are, for the most part, amazing. Just look at that Control verse.
