Well according to MTV he is. Yesterday they posted numbers 10 through 5 of their 10 Greatest M.C.'s of All Time list, with the intention of revealing the last 5 over the course of the week. Of course some crafty bloggers went snooping around and found the pages for the remaining 5 choices (they've since been taken down) and promptly posted them for all to see:
1. Jay-Z
2. Tupac
3. Notorious B.I.G.
4. Rakim
5. Nas
6. KRS-One
7. Big Daddy Kane
8. Ice Cube
9. Eminem
10. LL Cool J
Jay-Z is number one? Now, I'm a huge Jay fan, in fact I'm one of the few people alive who thinks that although Ether was the best song to come out of the Nas battle, Jay still won on the combined strength of Takeover and Blueprint 2 (the song not the album).
Jay is a phenomenal M.C. and definitely one of the most influential artists of the last 10 years, but whoever signed off on the order of this list must be out of their damn mind. MTV hasn't really had much credibility in hip hop since that little incident where they tried to act like it didn't exist, only to give us a great show years after the fact, and then pull it of the air for no good reason at all.
Somebody up there must understand that, so it amazes me how they would still continue to make asses of themselves with lists like this. Attention MTV: It is morally impossible to justify a number one spot for Jay-Z on a list that includes names like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane and KRS-One, it just doesn't make sense. Step your hip hop game up.
