My favorite 10 MC's, kind of in order. L is my favorite. Pac and Biggie get the ranks out of respect for what they were for the genre.
Any one with a normal name in hip hop? Or is it uncool to be called by the name your Mother gave you? 
Mike Jones...who?...Mike Jones goes by his real name.

I think that The Nightwatchman, Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy, Serj Tankian (his new album), Neil Young (yes still), Rise Against, Mos Def, Kanye West and maybe a few others, are the only music that is really worth saying that it says anything of value, and they all make anti-government/society type music. All other music, is love (which isnt bad), self-hate, outward hate, drugs, money, possessions, and sex. It just doesnt have the depth music in the past had.
Well...it has the depth, but not the imagination that past music had.
I dunno if Jay-Z can really be placed on the same level as Elvis, he hasnt changed anything.
That's a shallow list there. You can start the list with about 38 seperate Bob Dylan recordings.

Not a bad list. I have Krayzie Bone at the top of mine when it comes to rap and hip hop.
As for Jay-Z being on par with Elvis???? If you are only refering to amount of songs on top of the charts yeah, but in persona Elvis is King. Elvis transended rock and roll. Even as popular as Jay-Z is he didn't transend Rap/Hip Hop. People like Run DMC, NWA, Public Enemy and others did that long long before anyone heard of Jay-Z.

Elvis is still better dead than Jay-Z is alive.
