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

[Ohene]

Why do these dumb ass publications do this

 

[Sad Bunny]

Fair enough, I respect the eras. I was one of the few people that was bumping Wayne during my college years when the Carter 1 was out.

And yeah high school for me was the X and Jay years.

It's not that I don't think Wayne isn't in consideration, it's more how it's almost stated like it's a fact he should be top 10 like he's Jay or Nas, and I just don't see it.

I think jay and nas are 1 and 2.

Wayne is 3

 

[spliz]

I think jay and nas are 1 and 2.

Wayne is 3

I think Pac and Nas are 1a and 1b. Jay is number 2. I def think Wayne should be higher than Kendrick.

I can’t decide on No 1.

Pac and Big top 5 but their careers got cut short so that’s why I put Wayne above them

People say Em is top 5 but he’s been trash since 2003-2004 so idk man

Wayne had a down period for sure but he boi Ned back and is better than ever. He just needs a focused album at this point….like a 12 song album

Pac had 6 albums before he died and one was a double. U count posthumous and he has like 13-14 albums. Lol. And he's the most revered and relatable rapper in the world. No rapper has touch the people the way Pac has.

 

[Street Knowledge]

And I'm younger than Wayne lol

The you don’t like this rapper because you are old talking point was always hilarious because in many cases that rapper is older than you

 

[Sad Bunny]

That wasn’t my point. The point was he might not have been a high school student during Wayne’s run.

I wasn’t old enough to truly understand the Rakim and KRS era. I was barely old enough to remember Biggie and 2Pac’s era.

Not here to argue. It’s just my opinion. Wayne is a better rapper than Pac too

That’s not the only qualification for placement. They literally state when it first started that

“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).”

Gucci and Game can rap though. But Gucci beats him out in cultural impact and influence, body of work and achievements, charted singles gold and platinum certifications.

Games albums have sold more than Gucci man

 

[JYoung24]

Any list that don't have Nas number 1 is trash and and Niki lil Wayne or Drake don't belong anywhere top 10. Drake shouldnt be ahead of Cole on any rap list

Gucci beats him. Impact and influence Gucci beats game. Longevity. Gucci beats game by their criteria

Game hasn’t really been as successful as people make him out to be since 2008. He hasn’t sold as much, no critical acclaim, and he hasn’t influenced anyone. The internet message boards makes him seem more successful than he actually is

 

[JYoung24]

Wayne should be above Big PAC Em

He can battle it out with em there both trash but above big or pac hell nah

 

[JYoung24]

Nicki, Ye and Kendrick are the biggest proba I have. And Missy.

Neither should be in the top 20.

How u the 2nd best rapper and got outshined by every feature u had on every album

No he didn't but I agree he shouldn't be number 2 either
