It's quite interesting that not a single act in the top 20 is Hip-Hop and yet, this is a Hip-Hop site to a large extent. However, I've noticed that even really big fans of Hip-Hop often have an issue with rating their favorite acts along the same lines as a Stevie or Beatles or Prince or whoever; there's a certain inferiority complex there which, while understandable (careers generally being short before fall-off etc.), is somewhat sad because if even the fans don't rate their heroes too highly, who else will?

Of course, if I made a list (which I never would), I would probably not list any Hip-Hop acts in the top spots either despite loving the genre when it sounds good to me so I'm part of the problem...
