Jin - Top 5 (Dead or Alive)


Jin - Emcee's Properganda


Top 5 (Dead or Alive) is a hip hop song by Jin that deals with the question: who are the top 5 emcees in the rap game, dead or alive? In the song, Jin shouts a list of all the major rappers and rap groups that have made an impact on hip hop culture with their music. The message that Jin was trying to get across in Top 5 (Dead or Alive) is that everyone has their own personal list of Top 5 emcees of all time and so there will never be an agreement of this issue. The music video of Top 5 (Dead or Alive) was filmed in the streets of New York city and it had people showing their written list of their personal top 5 emcees. Top 5 (Dead or Alive) is from Jin's Emcee's Properganda released in 2005.
