Ranking System:
The rappers were ranked based on a few qualities. Their lyricism, flow, style, vibe, message and influence on the Hip Hop Community. I also put the places they represent in the video. Most of these rappers (7) came from either Detroit (3) or Chicago (4) which are Mid-West Hip Hop capitols.
Honorable Mentions:
One Be Lo, Nelly, Kid Cudi and Da Brat.
