Nearly 3 months since my last post *wow* I had a pretty long "writer's block" but thankfully it's over and u all can enjoy my lovely rants more regularly =D
I figured I would return on the same sort of note as my last post... debating a proposed list. Guess u all can figure out by now that I'm a lil argumentative [hehehe]
So the list under review is the "BET Top 10 Rappers of the 21st Century" NB. NO gender NOR race specificity but of course in true idiotic fashion multiple race-related comments surfaced eg."If Eminem was black noone wud care" - DJ Timbucktu
DISCLAIMER: I am not a musician so bear in mind my personal opinions are from a casual listener's perspective. Very well LOL
The show's concept was a round table debate [well rectangular =\] where artists were ranked based off of the panel's individual lists, with opportunities for them to re-vote on certain positions. To me the concept was well-done and the list was... okay.

Their final list went as follows:
10. Rick Ross/ Ricky Rozay/ literally $1 million man [HAHA ♫]
9. Jadakiss [before re-vote the previous choice was Drake... yeh they initially ranked Drizzy that low... not a fan of Jadakiss so I think 9 is a couple hundred spots too high LOL]
8. Young Jeezy [same sentiment like Jadakiss lol]
7. Drake
6. Ludacris [prev. choice before re-vote was T.I.]
5. T.I. <<-- okay that's better
4. 50 Cent... some people on the panel felt he shud be higher but I agreed with JD thinking he no longer that relevant and really how much higher would neone place him? Pshtt
3.*Readers beware this is most disturbing*
KANYE WEST! =|
They even re-voted and he was still #3... needless to say I was about ready to change the channel at that point cos there's no way you could speak of who had greater 21st Century impact and place Kanye so low... #failure BET
2. Lil Wayne
1. Eminem [no comment]
SHOCKERS:
- There was an elimination process at the beginning of the Top 5 where they got rid of Eve, The Game, Gucci Mane, Nelly and *gasp* Fabolous. Come on now, really?? Fabolous??
- Kanye at #3... I would've settled for a lil #2 bt 3?!?! That's just disrespectful! LOL
- Alot of people on the panel had affiliations to people on the list causing them to be somewhat biased and also more outraged when their choice didn't make it to #1 e.g. producer Boi 1Da and his fight to get Drake a higher position lol
- There were only two females on the panel [DJ Diamond Kuts and a VIBE editor]. That being said, I don't think Eve shuda been on the list personally but they could've done a lil to give a female rapper some recognition.
- Urmm.. but uh... *scratches head*... where is Jay-Z?? U can't tell me with all the criteria of consistency, relevance, work ethic, lyrical content and endorsements that he completely left out of the running. Once again, BET has failed. Full stop.
