Close call between Lord Finesse and Kane, but I went with Lord Finesse.

The real answer, of course, is AG, you assholes.

Lord Finesse gets my vote under the preferential ranking system, though.

I voted for Finesse, but thinking back on it I think Ras Kass takes it... I just didn't notice him the first time through...

Chino XL gets my vote for most overrated punchline emcee

Pos has the best "subtle" punchlines.

Finesse. His hit or miss ratio is the best I would say. Pos could actually have the best ratio, but Finesse is more of a punchline MC, if I'm making any sense here.

Of course it's Finesse.

Big L, Ras, and Chino are right there though.

I picked Lord Finesse, although I feel both him and Big Daddy Kane especially have made some punchlines in their times that came off a bit corny. Not necessarily a bad thing, and they're still awesome, but it's worth to mention.

peace to Big L and Chino XL too, though, as far as punchlines go.

I would like to see Redman, GZA, and Ice Cube in your next poll.

really??

I don't really see their styles meshing at all...

Chino and Kool G was cool

and Chino and Ras Kass was fucking murderous

Kool G and Kane always make the ill collabs though
