Yep five more.

Here's how it's going to work by the way because the last time I did this was probably 2-3 years ago, there's going to be five artists per each poll (maybe four depending on how many there is) and I'll throw all the names in a hat and pull out the number per poll and pin them against each other in a poll. I'll post 2-4 polls a week and let them stay open and the winners will go onto the next round. If it's a tie they'll be tiebreakers.

It's meant to be competitive. I almost nominated Why? myself. It'd be nice if this was more then just "A Tribe Called Quest Vs. Tupac Vs. Wu-Tang Vs. Nas Vs. Public Enemy."

I just put down 10 since I didn't do the first five.

I haven't been able to think of the Fugees without smiling since that Zach Galifianakis sketch.

Well, what the hell else can you really expect? When you call it a "greatest hip hop artist/group ever" thread, do you really think the obvious answers won't be brought up?

And, uh, you want a greatest of all-time polling thing (which is not an atypical thread idea at all, so you can't be annoyed with anticipating many answers), but you want people to nominate artists that CLEARLY are not eligible to be nominated for the position?

Why? is good, but the Why? project is hip hop influenced and only drifts further from it as time goes on. Yoni Wolf (which is maybe what he meant by Why?) is an incredible rapper, though. I just can't really fathom him as a consideration for "greatest hip hop artist ever." He's got the cLOUDDEAD self-titled album under his belt, and Ten is really good too, but he hasn't done enough to reach that status.

I just think it'd keep things interesting if there was more then 2 rounds of polling because we only allowed sacred cows to compete. I'm sorry I feel this way. I'm pretty new to this making polls and forums thing in general. I'll contact you to for guidance next time I try something like this.

Maybe, but I enjoy them more than some of what's already been posted. also what sleepy jack said. What's the harm in nominating more acts?

Jester

I already said it's ridiculous. That's it. I'm not saying anyone's not allowed to nominate who they want, but certain nominations are clearly kind of pointless. That's the point I was making. What, you can nominate an artist, but I can't disagree with the nomination? Don't be ridiculous!

also, lol @ sleepy jack.

In my opinion, nominating Why isn't pointless. I'll gladly vote for them over someone like Eminem. And maybe others will too. I guess that's the point of the poll.
