Inspired by BET's recent list of the best rappers in the 21st century, the National Post has decided to do a little MC grading of its own, developing a list of "The Top 10 Rappers in Canada." While we can't say we agree with the whole thing, we definitely won't argue with Exclaim! cover darling Shad taking the crown, as TSOL is one of the best Canadian rap records we've heard in a long time.
Here's the full list, as decided by the National Post's Ampersand:
10. Michee Mee
9. D-Sisive
8. Buck 65
7. Saukrates / Maestro
6. Classified
5. K'Naan
4. Drake
3. k-os
2. Kardinal Offishall
1. Shad
But is it just us or does this read more like a "list of all the Canadian rappers they could think of" rather than a list containing any sort of hierarchy? What do you think? Who's not getting their dues?
