gM Rapper of the Year nominees

Rapper of the Year rules: Rapper of the year is for big-name cats. all these people have records in major stores nationwide (selling records is a whole 'nother matter...). i'm not all that into major-label hip hop... BUT i do like it when the level of discourse is raised by cats sneakin' a nice record through one of the Bigs! even if i didn't BUY their record, strong showings on guest shots, video shows, ring tones, youTube, or whatever can definitely get 'em the nod! in this category, i particularly welcome write-in votes! so if you think i snubbed your favorite, make a case by sending links to youTube joints, email me a mp3 or transcribe his/her illest 16!

anyways, here's the nominees:




frankly, i am not NEARLY as interested in "what's hot in the streets" as i used to be, so i picked these guys based on what i HEARD playing and responded to. people who have been reading my blog for a while know who is likely to win without anyone's input, so send me links to youTube joints, mySpace pages, or whatever...
anyways, vote-vote-vote! for more award nominees, go to ghettoManga.com

    i got to give it too JAY Z. Dude really became a underdog with the release of this album. But after he came i'm out and people where like word. Dude was hitting spots tough promoting that joint like he was hungry and he wasn't the president of def jam
