Hip Hop Power Rankings: Strongest Emcees

Not too long ago, I was privileged enough to witness one of the most pointless debates in the history of musical fandom. What was the topic? Best rapper alive, of course! This endless topic amongst hip hop heads is maddening. in it's redundantness. You can't proclaim anyone as being the best rapper alive. Such a monitor holds little weight due to the flavor of the month nature of today's music industry. instead of allowing this train wreck of an argument to continue, I posed the following question to the 3 fellow hip hop fanatics in the room: What rappers are strong enough to bench press Lil Wayne?

:John Cena.
Normally, I don't acknowledge rappers who only have one album to their name, but for this subject I'll make an exception. John Cena could probably hurl lil Wayne from one side of Madison Square Garden, to another. He already threw Murs, a skillful underground midwest emcee, into a dumpster at the end of the "Hustler" music video.

This guy is insanely strong. I mean, what with the Steroids and stuff that pro wrestlers use to get all swole, it;s to be expected I guess. Honorable mention goes out to "Macho Man" Randy Savage. He made an entire rap album directed toward Hulk Hogan. This once again proves that professional wrestling and battle rap aren't that different after all. If I could use a steel chair to help me win a freestyle rap battle against a friend, I wouldn't hesitate to swing it. That's for real.

Chino XL.
Chino looks like he could pick up a Toyota Prius, and crush it against his forehead like a beer can. His rap name should be Diesel XL. His rhyming ability is top notch as well. He once said in an interview that hip hop artists are light years ahead of the classical writings of great literal minds like William "The Hammer" Shakespeare. As one who values lyrics over the beats which these rappers use to help transform their poems into music, I can see how that might be somewhat valid to an extent.

Rap has the potential to birth a poet lorreit(other than Canibus.) If only the majority of rappers spent less time acting like short fused halfwits who are more concerned about splurging and flaunting wealth, than mastering their craft, then maybe such a statement wouldn't be seen as just another asinine remark from someone in the hip hop generation.

Timbaland.
I heard Timbo used HGH at one time.. i wonder if that stuff enhances your ability to make rap beats? I also heard he appeared on an episode of WWE Monday Night RAW, and the back of his neck looked like a roll of sausages. He may have also been high as a kite during his taped segments on that show. Some emcees view week as an performance enhancer when it comes to rapping. From what I heard off his latest album, he should have gotten blazed on a few more songs, just to make it a bit more listenable.

Sugarhill Gang.
Those guys who preformed "Rappers Delight" weren't exactly body builders. Not saying they were all obese or anything. If I were to write an article on Hip Hop cannibalism, I'd make it about to include the Fat Boyz.They look look that older gentlemen who used to yell at me and my older brother when were were playing outside as kids.

Sure, we'd both laugh at him as he trots out wearing black socks, shorts, and a dirty t shirt. All kids find crabby adults to be quite amusing. But if the basketball/frisbee/baseball/dog landed in his yard, we wouldn't risk getting body slammed by the crotchety old coot just to get it back. If Wayne tried to disrespect any of the Sugarhill Gang members, they'd probably run him up a flag pole.
