Everyone has the right to say what they want about being on this list It gives rappers to step their game up now.

 

[Him]

Number 2 on that list is all kinds of wrong. Not sure why the industry has such a hard on for Kendrick.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

He's liberal friendly. pro-LGBT, pro BLM, cac teens love him.... and these people are the ones who run radio, festivals, blogs, award shows etc.

(with all that said i still think Kendrick is Top 10 all time.. 9-10 range)

 

[2stainz]

Nicki Minaji in the top 10

Rakim not in the top 10

Drake and Kanye chart higher than Rakim

Missy Elliot ahead of Krs1

 

[LiveFromLondon]

Brehs really in here debating this bogus list

 

[Ukbrotha]

List is dumpster juice.

You mean the liberals that hated his last album for being "transphobic," critiquing cancel culture and having some cheeky vaccine comments? Come on fam. You make it sound like Kendrick is Macklemore.

 

[Gritsngravy]

What is the criteria
Why have Andre at 12 and bun b lower on the list but no big boi or pimp c
No Rae, lupe, prodigy, 36 ?
And Lowkey it’s hella new rappers they could’ve put on the list but it’s the weird mixture of old and modern

 

[Ayo]

The way we used to play with life
I'm now careful with the sentences, them only jail bars I like (Woo)
I never wanted to be the state custodian (Come on)
The laws are draconian (Come on, Hov)
For those married to the life (Come on), it's holy matrimony and (Come on)
Somehow, I'll out-fox every box they'll try to throw me in (Come on)
With great ceremony and
Folk and 'nem told me how highly Caddy spoke of him
And bloke and 'nem from London, Harrow Road, Weston Inn
I be speakin' to the souls of men
Those of them willin' to die for the existence that this cold world has chose for them
Kickin' snow off a frozen Timb (Woo)
Back and forth on this turnpike, really took a toll on 'em

I don't think I've ever had bars painted so vividly in my mind. If you grew up in the hood in the northeast and spent anytime outside (or waiting on a corner like these bars paint) you know what he's talking about. If you put work in and ever had that "here we go again" sigh and exhale moment right before going to do what you were tired of doing ....BUT YOU HAD TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS.......you know what he's talking about.

If you can't picture any of those bars above then you either have Aphantasia - Wikipedia (like 50% of the population) or you just didn't experience that shyt.

GOAT. PERIOD.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

It took me a lifetime to come to this conclusion.

These lists are boring

 

[BK The Great]

The originators who gave the style of these rappers who used their craft and original technical style should be on the top 10 list. They birthed whoever is hot today. Everyone else with record sales or whatever bullshyt about stats should be in the top 30-50 list.

 

[DraymondT]

Nah but using they dumbass criteria Ja should probably be in there somewhere.

They got Kanye in there and he don’t even write his own lyrics. I don’t think he belongs here. Same with Dr. Dre. Drake too.
