    It's not a corny list, I'd say it's ok but could have been a lot better. Good to see Cappa on there but 3 Jay-Z songs (I know 1's Eminems verse)?

    Nice list. Of course everyone has different tastes, but I dig all of those he listed and that's enough for me.

    Why not just say Killah Priest instead of GZA. It was his verse even if it is on Liquid Swords.
