I've called you a hipster like 4000 times, but please enlighten us with your list.

yeah IT has a lot more merit than these other guys, overlooked him, and i really like Kendrick too.

The only person I can agree with on your list is Black Thought...maybe MF Doom

You can't come for people that have the Eminems & Andre3000's in their list and you pull out Danny Brown and Atmosphere lol

1. Jay-Z
2. Nas
3. 2pac
4. Scarface
5. Black Thought
6. Biggie
7. Ghostface Killah
8. Rakim
9. Prodigy
10. Andre 3000

Nas
Pac
Big
Black thought
Rakim
Eminem
Jay Z
3000
Ghost
Kool G Rap

Aside from Nas on any given day the order could change a little and/or also include Big L, Joe Budden, Redman, Pun, or Royce.

@Guts I fuck with all of that stuff. Funcrusher was one of the most important albums of all time and tbh of the list was favorite rappers instead of greatest I’d have some of those same people listed.

Some of y’all have a
“My favorite rappers of all time” lmao

Pac
Biggie
Big L
Nas
Big Pun
AZ
Rakim
Jay Z
Andre 3000
Em

This alone has 3 meaning.

1. Em took the game back and the only change is his hair color
2. Jadakiss leaving the locks
3. The game being a house and the literal locks were changed/ kissing his daughter

Not a huge fan of em since he's kinda a style thief after copying nas's sound but calling his lyrics weak is just incorrect.
