Understandable. I was considering unincluding him, but he does rap (occasionally). However, the competition is based on rapping, not overall artistry, so if he gets past the first round it'll be very questionable. Obviously, his work on the likes of 'Madvillain' cannot be taken into account in the competition.

Yes, I mean best rapper. Not best hip-hop artist. Someone (I forget who) nominated Madlib. Madlib does rap, so he can be included. However, he should be ranked on his skills as a rapper, not as a producer.

DJ Shadow is therefore ineligible for inclusion. Hope that clears that up.

Got some nominations?

When you say "best rapper", do you mean "best person at rapping"? As in, not counting baos producers like DJ Shadow?

Please no repeats. Add whomever you like.

If we don't reach enough rappers in three days time, I'll open up the nominations again to 3 rappers per poster on a first come first serve basis.
