	Pretty solid list D-Man.....I know you ike West Coast, so check out Glasses Malone, you might like him.....he has a good song with Weezy and Birdman called Haters

	Thanks, TC. I'll check out Glasses. One guy on my list who should probably be higher is Papoose. That guy spits fire. He's from Brooklyn.

	There's a Glasses song with Ya Boy on iTunes ("Showboatin' Remix). The preview sounds sick. I think I'm going to buy it and make it my ringer.

	D-Man, you don't have Limewire? Get that fire for free. I'm gonna check that song though

	1.1.2.1. Dewey , July 23, 2008	0 pts \| \| \|
	No, I don't have Limewire. Every once in a while my friend sends me albums through a file-sharing email service. Rapid something or other.

	i expected to see T.I. and the Game, really i did

	2.1. Annt74 , July 23, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	and please excuse me, game at #18

	2.2. Dewey , July 23, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	The Game is on my list (#18).

	2.2.1. Dewey , July 23, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	Oops. Yeah, no T.I. though.

	2.2.2. tcbailey24 , July 23, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	Gotta get that T.I......he has some new stuff out thats gonna be on his new album Paper Trail if you want to get it(its not on iTunes yet) ......Whatever You Like, Whats Up Whats Happening, A Better Day

	Like the the West Coast stuff but for some reason i just doint like WEEZY. Ya boy is SOLID and the list includes most of my favorites but i think your missing Bone-Thugs in Harmoney and Living Legends both fantastic rap groups.

	3.1. tcbailey24 , July 23, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	well, at least you didn't bash Weezy like other people do.....Weezy is my favorite though

	3.2. Dewey , July 23, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	I'm not really a huge Living Legends fan. Bone Thugs was great back in the day, but this list is what I'm feeling right now. That's why you don't see the Beastie Boys on it. I haven't felt anything they've done in years.

	3.2.1. GSWgirl , July 24, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	Flesh & Bone just got outta jail. They're working on a new album! I <3 the 90's!

	4. tcbailey24 , July 23, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	The Game is sick....Blood Brother right there

	5. oflarity , July 23, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	I already plugged him in the other rap list, but check out P.O.S. (he's on iTunes) and let me know what you think.

	5.1. oflarity , July 23, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|

	5.2. Dewey , July 24, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	Too much of a rock-rap feel for my taste.

	Dewey throwing Papoose on there i'm impressed. He is absurd. Too bad he married that chick in jail.

	6.1. Dewey , July 24, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	Papoose should have been higher. He may even be top 5. I dropped the ball.

	6.2. Dewey , July 24, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	Papoose is $$$.

	6.3. oflarity , July 24, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	What about Da Stunna Man? He walks around the Las Vegas Strip with Trojan Magnums in his pocket, and copies of his demo.

	I've never seen a list where Pac was 8 or more. O well, But Pres.(Dewey) He put Cali on the Map. And everyone was scared to say anything negative about Cali...He Brought the Crips and Bloods together, He was the underground Mayor of LA.... OK enough, Nice list Pres.
