https://thesource.com/2023/03/09/melle-mel-calls-nicki-minaj-being-ranked-ahead-of-rakim-blaspehmy-and-bs/ Melle Mels examination of Hip-Hop has continued. This time, his topic is Nicki Minaj, who he thinks should not be ranked ahead of Rakim or LL Cool J in any best-of-all-time ranking. Still dropping pieces on The Art of Dialogue podcast, Melle Mel called Nickis placement on Billboards Top 50 rappers of all-time list bullshit. You know thats some bullshit. Melle Mel. Kane and them and Rakim and them they done put up 40, come on now. And I actually like Nicki Minaj but thats some bullshit. You gotta understand what Hip Hop really is. He added, Rakim should never be 14 because his style changed the game. The average rapper, from a certain point to a certain point, you had to rap like Rakim. If you just talking about the pure rappers like Rakim and somebody like Kool G Rap, those are basically the top rappers of the game. Rakim, he should never be 14. --- Hey now. ...

I agree with him in that older pioneers should get more credit. Still, there's no reason to get so invested in these kinds of lists especially a musician themself because they're ultimately just subjective and mean nothing. He sure has some takes. He called Jay Z a "white business man" and has had issues with Eminem in the past as well and refereed to his skin color. He also called both "trash" and said he could beat Eminem in a rap battle. I can somewhat understand where he was coming from over the recent Em thing, but if you add up some of the past comments with it, it seems there's more to it under the surface. White guys...don't do it. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. ... Copied to Clipboard!

That is a horrible list. Jay-Z number one. There has never been a year that Jay-Z was best rapper. And Eminem at 5. Twista is better him. --- To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships. W.E.B. Du Bois ... Copied to Clipboard!

cjsdowg posted... There has never been a year that Jay-Z was best rapper.I saw that video. While I agree with the premise, longevity and relevance are also factors. Even if he wasn't number 1, he was always in the conversation for the 1-5 spot during his prime. That said, never been much of a Jay Z fan. --- https://warpzone.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/GRANDIA_-696x509.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

This just hit me. Jay-Z is the Edge of Rap. He was always close to the top. But he was never THE man. --- To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships. W.E.B. Du Bois ... Copied to Clipboard!
