Hot 97 Mount Rushmore of the top rappers of ALL TIME

[TripleAgent]

Nas Jay Big and Kendrick Lamar

I said what I said cuh

 

[Chip Skylark]

I didn’t say he didn’t have influence but he doesn’t have the influence like Pac, Wayne or Jay. You look at rappers nowadays and you see the influence of a Pac or Wayne. Who are these rappers nowadays with Nas’ influence?

The biggest rapper in the world right now

Nas has literally influenced ever decade minus 2020s

90s Eminem and others
2000s Lupe
2010s Cole and Kendrick
2020s lol we don’t have spitters like that anymore

What list is this?

These are the 16 rappers who have sold the most albums of all time

Based on album sales, Eminem is the highest-selling rapper of all time, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.

I said what I said!

 

[Kooze4524]

Hov, Kendrick, Nas, and Pac

To put Eminem and Wayne before Nas and Jay is literally retarded.

 

[Ziggiy]

F U C K Eminem

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Swap out em for Jay

Pac and Big are too contemporaneous, gotta pick one and swap out the other for a “founding generation” rapper, at least mid 80s era…I’d probably keep Pac and swap big for LL

LL, PAC, Hov, Wayne

 

[spliz]

It seems like they tried to do some East, West, Midwest, South type shyt.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

No Brad Jordan?

Also you gotta have Jay up there

This will be my only post in here before fakkit ass Kendrick stans fukk up the thread

I'd go Jay, Pac, Face, Nas

 

[Ziggiy]

Hate to be that dude but you have to replace Big with Jay lol. Jay has surpassed him in every aspect at this point.

And sorry but Nas doesn’t have the influence or impact or raw numbers like the others to be up there.

“One of the reasons that I picked ‘Halftime’ is because there’s some rhyme schemes on there that most rappers to this day probably can’t do,” he said. “And that’s one of the things that has made Nas so great over his career.

“Like when he [said], ‘Because when I blast the herb, that’s my word/ I’ll be slaying them fast, doing this, that, and the third/ But chill, pass the Andre, and let’s slay/ I bag bytches up at John Jay and hit a matinee.’ He was rhyming entire sentences. And I’m like, ‘What the fukk is this?'”

[SunZoo]

2pac, Jay & Nas are mandatory

The 4th spot is debatable, Em has a def has a case, Wanye, absolutely not.

That's the formula right there honestly, if we're talking about historical, not preference.

Mt. Rushmore isn't about your favorite presidents; it's about the most important/impactful to point up when telling a history lesson that can bridge as many gaps as possible and that's it right there.

Everybody on that list bridges gaps between the origins of the culture to present day.
