I would say none of those rappers would be worth adding, considering most if not all of them would immediately be eliminated in the first tie. They would be horrible additions for this forum as well because the majority of us know and appreciate good hip hop fairly well. My suggestions would be One Be Lo, Proof, Phonte, Elzhi, Murs, Books (Skoob) and/or Dray, Posdnuos, any of the Hiero crew, etc.

If you feel like they need to be up there, I figure it could be considered...I'm sure.

I hit Murs already but yeah, yeah

Hiero Crew: best contenders could be Opio, Tajai, Casual, A-Plus

I see 119...

hmm...

MC Frontalot, Scroobius Pip, The (guy from the) Streets, Mac Lethal, Warren G, Keak Da Sneak, Vast Aire, Fatlip of The Pharcyde, and... Dälek

Won't be drawing another tie tonight as I'm only stopping by whilst my tea's cooking before getting back on it.

The draws for the first 80 have already been done, send me another 48 names (MC's not groups) and I'll add them to the draws. Please read the list first, no repeat suggestions!!

With that number of competitors we may be finished this by 2015

I dunno what you got in your pm's but I had my suggestions, as well as anti and oojays, laid out earlier. Take what you will of this, friend:

At least go to 100; you should add Immortal Technique, The Grouch, Myka 9, Eligh, Sunspot Jonz, The Gift of Gab, E-40, Mac Dre, MC Paul Barman, Zumbi of Zion I, Doseone, Tech N9ne, Pharoahe Monch, Illogic, Apathy, Masta Ace, MURS, Abstract Rude, Busdriver, Cage.

Don't be an a$$hole. Hip-hop has room for everybody's tastes. Don't just say that I "don't appreciate good hip hop fairly well" like the rest of you just because we have differing opinions on artists. Isn't the whole point of this thread to open up new avenues of hip-hop to other members and discuss our points of view on why we like Artist A over Artist B? Don't be so dismissive and rude. We're all here for the same reason. And I would gladly replace a few from the original list of 80 with the ones I just suggested.
