(AllHipHop News) VH1 crafted and broadcast a comprehensive list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and the list contained several Hip-Hop acts even thought Michael Jackson, The Beatles and Bob Dylan reigned supreme.Jay-Z was the highest ranking Hip-Hop artist at No. 47, followed by Public Enemy at No. 54, Notorious B.I.G. at No. 63 and Tupac Shakur at No. 69. LL Cool J, Eminem, The Beastie Boys, Run DMC, OutKast and N.W.A. also made the list. Jay-Z’s wife Beyonce placed No. 52.Some have criticized the list, because only one female, Madonna, was in the Top 20.
