Author/TV personality/Activist, Mark Lamont Hill was interviewed on DJ VLad TV two days ago, and he was discussing many things, till the discussion kind of veered to who he considers the greatest rappers of all time. He answered with...
"For me, top 5 is Jay Z without a doubt; Nas without a doubt; Andre 3000 without a doubt. Umm! I'm putting Lauryn Hill in my top 5." (DJ VLad Interview)

He paused for a while after this, because DJ VLad said Lauryn Hill had only one album, meaning she doesn't have a great body of work to be put in the top 5 greatest rappers of all time. Marc Lamont Hill countered him with...
"Biggie only had two albums and you are making him the number one emcee of all time. And also, you gotta count Lauryn's Fugees albums, she was the...you ain't listening to The Score for Praz. You know what I'm saying. I love Praz, but like I say, Praz's impact on the track is his beat selection, his ad-libs, and his energy. You're not going to Praz for bars. You just not. Praz will tell you that. Praz don't think he was the lyrical genius behind...yea, he was a lot of things. Everything fits. All those part fits. I don't take nothing away from Praz. I don't take nothing away from Clef (Wyclef). I like both of them. But L Boogie brought the lyrics. So, for me, that's my four (Jay Z, Nas, Andre 3000, and Lauryn Hill), for five, at this moment, right now, I got Black Thought as my fifth." (DJ Vlad Interview)
Guys, I would love to know who you consider the top 5 greatest rappers of all time.
