Well after seeing the state of this topic, I took it upon myself to try and make a better one.

I've tried to mix old with new, but all are pretty main stream as Neowin isnt the most urban music orientated forum.

Its hard to only choose 10 artists so I tried to choose 10 most people will have heard of.

Right, thanks for a more informed choice. Obviously chosing from a list restrains your options, and so nobody will please everyone but...

My votes:

Jay-Z for just being phenominally successful without REALLY selling out. Was going to vote Tupac, but I hate how people have turned him into a cliche since he died!

NWA - Come on, they broke so much ground into making it mainstream, again without ever 100% selling out.

Wu-Tang, Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def...know you're limited in the amount of choices, but what little "rap" I like isn't listed.

Yeh, I feel alot people are saying they like how they like him so much and **** just because everyone else has when they've only ever heard a couple of tracks, or even none at all.

Wu-Tang, Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def...know you're limited in the amount of choices, but what little "rap" I like isn't listed.

Yeh, but Wu-Tang arent that mainstream, theyve had a few hits yeh. Tribe arent too mainstream and Mos Def will be hopeless on here. I admit, I forgot about Public Enemy, that should definately be up there. This poll should be called that hiphop poll really.

My votes are(based on music and not status or accomplishments):

Busta - Love this guys sound, a real inspiration!

Cypress Hill - Liked them ever since I heard my first track! Chillout/hiphop/rap/rockrap(?) just awesome!

^ I have BOUGHT all of there stuff, which I dont do, ever. I just need Cypress Hills Still Smokin' DVD and Busta Rhymes - The crown, which isnt released in the UK yet :(

for my favorite rapper, I would have to say Nas... I mean, not the garbage maker that he is now, but the Nasty Nas that made Illmatic and It was written and that was a feature on Large Professor in Main Source tapes. Live at the BBQ baby :p
