Not of the decade tho..Rakim is only a mear glimpse of wat he used to be
It should be relative to others of this decade, not to his past. I.e. what he used to be is irrelevant. True though.

I smell Eminem dickriding....
Very much, I'm just not sure if they're all serious. My list:
1. Pos
2. Masta Ace
3. Dave (Trugoy)
4. Guru
5. Funkman Del
6. Black Thought
7. Cyne*
8. Talib Kweli
9. Eminem
10. J-Live
Common didn't make it, although I like "Like Water For Chocolate". His later stuff I didn't feel as much. He'd be like 11 or so.
KRS didn't make it, his time was before. He tries to hold on, but not feeling him very much, and it doesn't help that he talks all the crazy.
* Not very familiar with them, noticed them thanks to the Youtube group, but it's one of the Cyne guys that I meant as number 7. Doesn't say very much, but I'm pretty sure he's got the lead. Not the one with a low voice, the one in Pretty Apollo. Raps more with the throat than the other guy.
