Let the arguing begin lol. Via The National Post website! At least Soxx is on this one (unlike The Vancouver Sun‘s list that came out a few months back….still SMH about that lol).

Here then, are the top 10 (fine, 11) rappers in Canada:

10. Michee Mee: Still no other female Canadian MC has carried the weight of Michee.

9. D-Sisive: Started as a battler. Still battling.

8. Buck 65: He raps about baseball. Enough said.

7. Saukrates / Maestro: It’s a tie at number seven. These two are old school but Saukrates is killing it with his new song about Emily Haines. And without Maestro, there’s no list.

6. Classified: Actually one of our truest hip-hoppers, Class has personality and rugged lyrics. If Canadian rappers were American, Classified would be from Brooklyn or the Bronx (instead of Nova Scotia)

5. K’naan: He’s colourful, charismatic, and a terrific writer blessed with a golden voice. His next move could be anything. Here’s hoping he decides to stay rap.

4. Drake: Singlehandedly keeping Lil Wayne alive while he’s in prison, Drake is not only the most popular Canadian rapper of all-time, he’s also the smoothest, and nearly the best.

3. k-os: Gotta love his rock star approach and his lyrics. Who else drinks white wine in the morning when he must meet the press?

2. Kardinal Offishall: The big boss of the Canadian hip-hop game, Kardi’s been number one for so long that it’s only his recent pop moves with Akon that found him losing ground to Shad. Kardinal is still a serious MC, though. There’s nothing we’d like more than rocking to him retake his crown.

1. Shad: He had us convinced with his first Polaris-nominated record, The Old Prince. Then he dropped TSOL last year, and blew us away. TSOL just dropped in the U.S., where he’s currently touring with k-os. Kanye – get ahold of this man, before you’re opening for him.
