How you fools gonna let the greatest MC of all time fall to #11?
I'm taking the Teacha, the Blasmasta, KRS-One!
The man is a walking encyclopedia of Hip-Hop, and the founder of the Stop the Violence Movement. The reason I think he is the greatest is not only because his music is dope and his lyrics are meaningful and intelligent, but because he is the true embodiment of what it means to be an MC with his activism in the community and changing the culture of hip-hop. He was really one of the first to start writing conscious rap lyrics which was so influential to the direction that hip-hop was heading in the late 80s.
Here's a little more of what I'm talking about if you care to learn more. link
He is also arguably the greatest live rapper and the greatest battle rapper ever.

Here is Kris breaking down the 9 elements of Hip-Hop from the song '9 Elements'.
One : Breaking or breakdancing Rally b-boying, freestyle or streetdancin' Two : MC'ing or rap Divine speech what I'm doing right now no act Three: Grafitti art or burning bombin' Taggin', writin', now you're learning! uh! Four : DJ'ing, we ain't playing! {*scratch*} You know what I'm saying! Five : Beatboxing Give me a {*beatboxin*} Yes and we rockin'! Six : Street fashion, lookin' fly Catchin' the eye while them cats walk on by Seven: Street language, our verbal communication Our codes throughout the nation Eight: Street knowledge, common sense The wisdom of the elders from way back whence Nine : Street entrepreneur realism No job, just get up call 'em and get 'em
All of the MC's that I would want to take in the first round are gone. So I've got to take the head of the clan. Great lyricist in his own right but also groundbreaking producer.
K well it looks like the first round has been determined, so Jaz let me know if there is round to round criteria. Stuff like that to make judging this competition more or less fair
