The 90s were on part for the most part but I really don't care for hip hop post 1996 to really get upset about the list. Did notice a couple of things and that's the lack of love for female emcees and emcees in groups. I could give 96 to Lauryn Hill easily as well as Black Thought. Although Thought wouldn't get a look because he's not popular enough.

Picking a best ever in any field is impossible, and totally illogical, given the diversity of human taste. Arguing GOAT status is an act of futility.

I've always liked DMC more than Run but I wasn't old enough during the 80s to know the consensus on that. Seems like the older dudes I know liked Run more.

Kane and Slick Rick should switch places for their years.

1991: Treach or Ice Cube

2004: Kanye

2005: Jeezy works I guess but I would have gone with either Kanye or The Game

2006: T.I.

2009: Drake

2010: Kanye works but it could have gone to Rick Ross as well

2014: I have no idea who I would say for this year. It's such a toss-up.

And Nicki Minaj? FOH.

Some of these are relatively on-point, but as the years go forward, it recedes into a popularity contest.
