Champion EP is my #1 album for 2004, so far.

I picked the Big Bad Brother Ali!!

No Wordsworth? No Phonte? Game? Grafh? Jada? Even Common? Nas?!

C'mon, man... these dudes DEFINITELY deserve to be named in the same breath as Ill Bill and Sage if you want to talk best emcee.

I mean, Masta Killah? Alright, he released a hot album, but wow... one of the best emcees of '04? Bullshit.

The "Jesus Walks" verse, the "She Wants to Move" verse, the "Get 'Em High" verse, the "Why" verse, and "Food" are all enough to put him within the top tier of emcees putting it down right now.

There are only so many options you can enter.

Wordsworth, I agree with you on.
Phonte...........No.
Game..................NO.
Grafh.................HUGE NO.

I tried adding Jada, Common, and Wordsworth. It wouldn't allow me. Besides, I was trying to touch on all genres that cats who frequent this board listen to.

Brother Ali

Ghost.

Solely for "Get off my D I/Then go C the K"

The Iron Sheik · Post by **The Iron Sheik** » Mon Sep 27, 2004 6:25 pm

Had to give to Ghost over Bro Ali, simply for album over EP. Both are pretty close in quality, but yeah, that was my rationale.

Ghost Dini. How it could be anybody else (on that list, anyways) is beyond me.

Funk Docta Bombay · Post by **Funk Docta Bombay** » Mon Sep 27, 2004 7:54 pm

Quel should'nt be anywhere near a list which involves the word "best".

Ghost wins it with ease.

solid is not "best". Dude's music is definition middle of the road abstract underground. Does'nt hurt the ears but calling him the best emcee is going way over the mark.

That's why this is an opinion poll. I'm sure there is a fair number of cats who use this site that would consider him a "personal best" for 2004. You feel differently.

Rock the vote.

D. James · Post by **D. James** » Mon Sep 27, 2004 8:29 pm

Out of the folks you listed, I would lean towards Sage Francis. But I think the best MCs in the game are as follows:

Saul Williams
Mike Ladd
Immortal Technique
Rob Sonic

And if Mos Def's upcoming album is as good as it should be, he'll be on that list to.

well word. but that spot could have gone to a number of more deserving candidates. hence my singling him out for removal from the list. My reply to your post was a backing of said statement.

Damn, I must be the only person who thought the Ill Bill album was something special.

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Mon Sep 27, 2004 9:21 pm

naw the ill bill album was hard.

but i liked the royce album better.

i still dont' know who i'm gonna vote for.

yeah, there is no way kanye should be even considered as best mc. As an MC he is very mediocre.

my vote goes to Brother Ali though. The Champion EP has been one of my favourite releases this year. The tracks Chain Link and Rain Water are definite stand outs.

lightborn · Post by **lightborn** » Mon Sep 27, 2004 9:47 pm

i'd like to vote for someone, but jesus. ghost is crazy nice, but that album was nothing special. hip hop is wack. where's devin the dude and cee-lo?
