    I'm curious as to what you guys think.

    Any artist from any genre. Who ranks up there with MJ, the Beatles, frank Sinatra etc.

    These artist have to be actively making music.

    I'll start with: Kanye, Beyoncé, eminem and Adele.

    who makes the cut for you?

    Well, Marshall Mathers would deff have to be in there cause Eminem's the best lyrically. he's number 1, his shouting flow gave me goosebumps he's so good, his flow is impeccable, just the number 1 lyricist no question. name one person who could body em on a track? lmao u cant! that's right because he's number 1 hands down!!! if you don't agree, you're not a real rap fan and you probably like lil wayne LOL. (BTW they did a song together, and Em actually subliminally dissed wayne, cause hes so dumb LOL!!)

    Eminem, Nas, Jay Z, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John - I can go on. I mean unless they're dead there's so many that are still "active" as a lot of them tour every now and then.

    Eminem, Jay Z, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Logic (imo lol), Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Beyonce, Drake

    I would say Nas. But tbh, the dude is like a one hit wonder but instead of it being a song, its an album. Nas is only going to be remembered for Illmatic. His other albums I cant even make it through. Sure, it was written is good but the others all are forgetabble. You can argue LIFE IS GOOD is a classic or even an amazing album.. But it wont be remembered because Nas is still doing that same s--- he was doing 10 years ago. The beats and everything on that album sound like it was meant for 1997, but he decided to wait and record it for 2010 and then add some s-----y song for a single called Summer Smash.. or something i cant even remember the title of that terrible song with Miguel and Swizzz Beats..

    I said in my opinion Logic was. meaning TO ME, he is.

    Obviously you didnt read past my list because I explained why everything besides It Was Written and Illmatic is not rememberable.

    Dont act like Stillmatic is some classic. It has Rewind, and Ether. THATS IT. The rest is f---ing terrible. God's Song isnt no classic and isnt too good either. Life is good, I already explained.
