BET Decides The Top 10 Rappers This Century
BET recently posed the question Who Are The Top 10 Rappers This Century? to nearly 30,000 network viewers and hip-hop fans. The votes were tabulated on BET.com and 15 rappers were selected, to be narrowed down by a “Hip-Hop Supreme Court” of some of the hottest producers, DJs and influencers who will rank the top 10 coveted positions in a televised special tonight at 8pm EST.
Hosted by “Chief Justice” Big Tigger, the judges are Jermaine Dupri (producer), Diamond Kuts (DJ—Power 99, Philadelphia), Greg Street (DJ—V103, Atlanta), Tony Neal (Core DJs), Timbuck2 (DJ—107.5, WGCI, Chicago), Boi 1da (Producer), Chloe Hilliard (Editor, VIBE), Chuck Creekmur (CEO, Allhiphop.com) and DJ Vlad (CEO, VladTV.com).
To be eligible for the top 10 rappers of the 21st century, the rapper must be a solo artist who released his or her first solo album in 1999 or later. These requirements exclude hip-hop heavyweights The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z, Nas, and Snoop Dogg from the list. Rappers will also be evaluated on the criteria of flow, lyricism, subject range, cultural impact, sales and digital swagger.
During the intense round table debate, Tigger controlled the boardroom and laid down the rules as the judges engaged in a no holds barred dialogue about the 21st century rappers who have changed the game of hip-hop during the past 10 years.

@ viper productions and i quote , how lil Wayne is on the top 10 list for being the greatest rapper of the 21st century when he was kissing a man. I thought that hip hop was based on image and realness. what happen too real MC’S like Most Def, Common, Bennie Siegel, Jada kiss, Jay Z, Ghost Face killer,etc. I know the vote was for the artist started out round 2000 era. I think the votes that the panel put in was out of wack. Tigga you should have had the streets up there voting, the fans, the ones who support the artist. THE BULL VIPER SAID…IF THIS WHERE HIPHOP IS GOING WE SEE WHO VOTED FOR SAME SEX MARRIAGE WHERE BET IS, WHICH IS STATE OFL WASHINGTON, DC, WHERE OUR PRESIDENT IS. NO LAW CAN BE PASSED WITH OUT HIS CONSENT. NOW ROGER THAT AS U ALL QOUTE LIL WAYNE MUSIC.!!!!!!!
