Billboard's 10 Greatest Rappers Of All Time by danduj(m): 5:16pm On Nov 18, 2015 |
International music tracking medium, Billboard, dropped their list of greatest rappers of all time a few days ago, caused a whole lot of controversy with music and hip-hop fans. A lot of fans and some artists questioned the list, and the most obvious issue is the absense of 2pac, and possibly Kanye West. In addition, many feel Kendrick Lamar should not be on the list with a relatively short career. 10 – Lil Wayne 9 – Kendrick Lamar 8 – Ghostface Killah 7 – Lauryn Hill 6 – Andre 3000 5 – Nas 4 – Rakim 3 – Eminem 2 – Jay Z 1 – Notorious B.I.G Here’s what Billboard put out to explain their list: Diehard fans, music nerds and critics love lists. But in rap, rankings like this take on a special level of import: aside from moving a crowd (shouts to Rakim), MC means proving you’re the best. In no other genre do artists so blatantly express their desire to outdo competition. That made Billboard’s editorial list a more high-stakes undertaking than usual. Many favorites — Kane, Drake, KRS — didn’t make it, and each of those omissions hurts deep down. Note: we’re ranking these folks as MCs, not artists. That’s why Dr. Dre and Kanye West, for example, two legendary producer-rappers who don’t match the mic skills of those listed here, were left out. Even Tupac, perhaps the most influential rapper ever globally, is arguably known more for great songwriting than dominant bars. |

What's the basis for the list? Lyricism or all round mastery of the game. If lyricism Nas should be number one followed by Rakim and Biggie. If it is about all round success I give it to Jay Z, Eminem and Pac |

^^^^Don't take the list serious. It's all Joke. Any list like that without Pac is useless. 2Pac is the most influential rapper to ever exist. |
