Top Artists Of All Time: Division 12-Old School Rap

Due to a station to station vacation, a special Sunday edition as we march our way through the Genre Divisions of The Top Artists Of All Time. What we do each week is get a panel of 20 voters to cast votes for their 6 favorite artists in a genre. The top 8 receiving points from votes move on to the semifinals. The endgame is to have a final 64 tournament next February-March with artists seeded based on points they received in the this round and the semifinals. Out of our 20 voters, 17 (85%) cast ballots this week for Old School Rap. Out of 32 artists, 20 received at least one vote. 6 different artists received first place votes.

And the results? The Beastie Boys ruled the roost. They received votes on all 17 ballots that were cast, the first artist to do so in 12 divisions so far. It also helped put The Beastie Boys at #1 on The Overall Leader Board so far (position on leader board will determine seeding in the semifinals round). Also racking in the points this week were Public Enemy and Run DMC placing second and third respectively. They were followed by a slew of iconic artists as N.W.A., LL Cool J, Ice-T and Boogie Down Productions all grabbed spots 4-7. And even though Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five didn't receive many points, the fact they got 5 votes was enough to nab the 8th spot away from Eric B. & Rakim.

You can keep up with The Top Artists Of All Time (32 artists, 32 Genres) by clicking the tab at the top of the home page to see who's moving on to the semi-final round of 256. Below are The Top 8 artists from the Old School Rap Division (with total points and votes received) the artists who just missed or had votes cast, and the ballots randomly placed at the bottom.
