Billboard and Vibe Magazine Top 50 Rappers of all time! #1 Jay-z #2 Kendrick #3 Nas

[Ziggiy]

Ice cube stay getting disrepected. When you factor in impact, albums, longevity, etc, how the fukk is nas over cube? Like can we have that conversation? Do y'all really believe Nas is a bigger legend than ice cube?

Nas made Illmatic

Ice Cube did not

 

[Cadillac]

Given that it's Billboard I'm surprised Nas is so high

given that its Billboard, and their history with Pac going back to when he was alive

im surprised he even is in the top 4

Nas made Illmatic

Ice Cube did not

cube made death certificate

nas did not

 

[Surreal]

What years were Jay Z and Nas at their apex in your opinion?

Nas is #1 to me and hasn't reached his apex yet

Jigga like anywhere between 8-12 and hit his apex in only 96-99

 

[Cadillac]

the lack of no Too $hort and not even atleast giving him the lower spots if you want to do that is just nasty and garbo

Short
Ricky D
8Ball
Prodigy

 

[Cadillac]

Short
Ricky D
8Ball
Prodigy

and many others,

but short is one of the most notable because not only did he have charting success. but he had a iconic flow, and influence is huge

espescially being a west coast pioneer and paver for the west coast region, same way im sure they put Ice T on here to(and he deserves it)

i get billboard/vibe gonna do them, but he should be atleast around where Ice T is in that range

Kendrick that high is crazy but w/e.

Hov did

 

[Metal Face]

Kendrick greater than Nas confirmed

 

[JustCKing]

Andre on there and Big Boi ain't

Stopped caring after that

Andre 3000 has been on these lists since 1999 without Big Boi being listed. Blaze had Andre 3000 on their list and even had Cee Lo on the list, but no Big Boi.

Jeezy not being on the list is crazy to me. that man has multiple platinum & classic albums, one of the biggest mixtape movements of all time, changed the sound of Trap music forever

 

[Controversy]

Kendrick is not a better rapper than Nas

List is bullshyt

Imagine dropping 6 classics (Illmatic, IWW, Stillmatic, Lost Tapes, KD2 & KD3) and not being #1

The only one with an argument to be over Nas is Pac, that's it

 

[Mastamimd]

Andre 3000 has been on these lists since 1999 without Big Boi being listed. Blaze had Andre 3000 on their list and even had Cee Lo on the list, but no Big Boi.

Then they were wrong

Wrong then, wrong now. We had this conversation already, peace.

Phonte . But I get it, too "obscure" of an act I guess. Still one of my GOATs. I wouldn't be mad at switching Nas with Kendrick.. I get why some of you feel that's what it should be even if I personally enjoy kdot more.
