g rap just too good...

Magneto · Post by **Magneto** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 3:25 pm

I picked Kool G. Rap. More material.

L.J.T. · Post by **L.J.T.** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 3:28 pm

G rap is probally the better rapper and like stated much more material to choose from. But I voted for Ricky D. Personal favorite.

Really close call, but I had to go with Kool G Rap.

slick rick

Damn, this one's fucking tough. I'm gonna have to go with G Rap due to him being vastly superior in influence on most MC's as much Ricky might be a fav of some.

Goddamn. This was a tough one.

Kool G Rap wins, though. He took rapping to a whole new level lyrically, and wrecked every verse he dropped.

That being said, Slick Rick is my personal favorite out of the two. Kool G Rap was just a better technical rapper and stylistically more innovative. He added layers of depth of the storytelling shit that Slick Rick made famous.

Thus, :grap:

takes it.

Laddi Daddi was on the first mix tape I ever heard. It's got to be the best rap single ever.

Nuff respect to the ruggest MF'r to ever rap with a lithp though.

difficult choice.

g rap.

Tha Ruler although obviously G Rap's 90's career was much better

Tough choice. Between G Rap's lisp and Rick's british accent, both somehow managed to make sounding gay utterly fresh.

Quotashun · Post by **Quotashun** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 10:25 pm

Ricky, but barely.

Jaz · Post by **Jaz** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 10:56 pm

The Ruler, hard choice though.

Ricky! Best storyteller ever!

The Kool Genius of Rap.

If any of these two won the tournament I wouldn't be mad. Feel like a traitor here, but had to vote for Wimbledon's finest.

The Frankest · Post by **The Frankest** » Sun Jun 07, 2009 5:49 pm

Went with Slick Rick.

kimani · Post by **kimani** » Sun Jun 07, 2009 6:41 pm

This is a great matchup. Gotta go with Ricky for his early work with Doug E. Fresh.

JustDuWitt · Post by **JustDuWitt** » Sun Jun 07, 2009 7:50 pm

another tough one.

i feel like if i voted for g. rap it would be based off his 90s material too much.

voted for rick.

SonnyCookout · Post by **SonnyCookout** » Sun Jun 07, 2009 11:04 pm

Went for g rap for the tie.

Magneto · Post by **Magneto** » Mon Jun 08, 2009 6:46 pm

This is the closest one, easily. Polls end today. So keep the voting going on this.

Magneto · Post by **Magneto** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 4:07 pm

Kool G. Rap wins. Advances to semi finals.
