CRITERIA
From there, the teams took into account the following criteria, not in any particular order: body of work/achievements (charted singles/albums, gold/platinum certifications), cultural impact/influence (how the artist’s work fostered the genre’s evolution), longevity (years at the mic), lyrics (storytelling skills) and flow (vocal prowess

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

Ross, Jada, Redman in the 40-50?




This list about to be ridiculous

 

[Po pimp]

Watch they put Wayne and Kendrick in the top ten. I honestly wouldn’t be mad at Kendrick though. He hasn’t missed on his album releases. I never got into Wayne

Kanye will probably be somewhere in the 30s because of his antics.

Back in 2015. Billboard release their top 10 rappers ever and Wayne and Dot was 10 and 9 respectively. Criteria may be different now. But the list was null and void because Pac wasn't top 10

Oh boy

They’ve been trying to push Pac out of the top ten and erasing him for years, kinda like how they do with Michael Jackson. shyt is so blatant.

 

[Yecht]

The best part of these rap lists is how there's 5-10 in the lowest 20 that are just obligatory vets that they feel required to mention

 

[Surreal]

They did Red dirty....

 

[Nabs]

Jada and Bun-B at the bottom of the list

Top 50 dead or alive

How high do you guys suspect Cardi will land?

 

[Dynamite James]

fukk whiteboard magazine. I’m tired of these white publications and their damn lists!

 

[Reptile]

nikkas gone come in here complaining about Jada being 46 when he shouldn't even be on the list at all lol.

E 40 is in my top 5 but I understand him being around 35-40, and Bun B is Top 25 for sure.

 

[qnsfinest]

this list is already bullshyt lol.

Redman a legit top 10 all time and is in my top 10 and they got him at 41.

Both jada and bun in my top 25.

 

[Reptile]

If Fabolous is on the list its trash. He better not be on this fukking list.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

They'll have ICP at the top
