2865946, impressive lineup, but KRS and Rakim were well past their primes

Kane, Chuck, and Cube were all in or very close to being in their primes.

If KRS, Rakim, and a young Nas had been on the same track in '92 or something, that's different.

Good one. Close. Rae is a hall of famer, but not quite to the level of Cube/Chuck/Kane, IMO.

>Got My Mind Made Up - PAC, Red, Meth, Kurupt.. and Daz.

See this was one of many tracks that came up when I was racking my brain for something on that level, before I made the post. Kurupt killed it and is/was a great rapper but not really a heavyweight on that level. And obviously Daz, dope producer and I like him well enough as a rapper, but he's not up there as an MC.

I don't even like half of them, so I can't go for that.
