[pbftxrs316]

who was the best mc in the late 90s like 1998 to the early 2000s like to 2004?

[Verstyle]

jay-z........

[Kobe Bryant]

Nas gotta go with him I Am, Nastradamus, Stillmatic, God's Son, Lost Tapes all solid albums.

[Tuggers1986]

The Slim Shady Lp/Marshall Mathers Lp/Eminem Show were by far the best albums that came out over that period in time.

[Kobe Bryant]

I can't consider Lil Kim because she doesn't even write her own rhymes. Big wrote her first album.

[The Fix]

scarface had the untouchable, last of a dying breed and the fix....

I picked Jay Z followed closely by Nas and DMX,ya gotta remember he was very solid for a while there.

[Kobe Bryant]

X deserves some recognition because he was really popular and releasing good albums during that time.
