Hot 97 Mount Rushmore of the top rappers of ALL TIME

[L $ C]

That’s why I said objectively I could never put him over Jay.

yeah i agree

 

[mundL]

alright since I own every album by all 3 artists you named lets do this

saying Jayz isnt better than kool g rap is laughable at best. When you talk "better" you have to talk albums and songs not just lyrics. Now I would argue jay is actully even a better MC than kool g rap at his peak but if youre talkign albums songs impact it really isnt close

black thought isnt in the same level as jay for ANYTHING outside of bars...bro discography matters, hits matter, classic albums matter. how many classic albums solo does BT have? you can say 2 with the roots if youre being favorable. BT ever do features? 15 albums? 4 classics? no bro so just because jay had popularity doesnt doc him either.

ghostface is the only argument you could actully have as he has the catalogue , however when it comes to impact and place in hip hop its not that close importance wise but ghost you could argue as hes in my top 5 all time but id never have him there hes not transendent like the other 3 i named



we gotta stop doing my favorite or best bars along with best all time, Pun canibus and eminem are 3 of best mcs of all time just rapping i woudlnt say any of them are top 5 all time maybe em but no

Ok so i Cant use my own criteria but u take the Word of the ppl like a

the word of people?

no bro. being top 5 all time is much more than a rapper you like or someone who can spit bars. Thats only reseved for people who check all boxes and did it an elite level for a long time

Jay has a much better discography than BT or kool g. by miles bro

its just not classic albums its average albums with great songs, its features its all

ghost can be agued but id take jay because ghost has had a lot of weedplates since BDR in 07

SC Fishscale and Ironman make ghost an argument for me

I'd go with the best discogaphies in rap

Andre 3000
Kendrick Lamar
Ghostface Killah
Scarface

 

[KFBF]

Putting Andre 3000 on these lists is the same as putting Lil Wayne.

im not mad at this but kendrick ghost and face dont have better disgographys than Nas

 

[Mr 18]

Pac
Jay
Em
Kendrick

Replace Jay with Nas and I'd say its spot on.

Yes they do. Nas is more skilled though.
The general discussion about the best rappers discographies have never included Nas, and there's a reason why.

 

[SNG]

Honestly they both are interchangeable. Nas is the better rapper and Jay makes better music. I’m not mad at anyone who has Nas in there.

Ghostface maybe...I'll give you that. But scarface and dot are only challenged by pre-tlop kanye and kast tbh

 

[SNG]

Debatable.

 

[spliz]

an MC is way more than just rapping. does BT have an album that moved the needle last 10 years? not sales wise but impact ? no he had a few decent projets and i love him

And Thought ain't even a flat out better emcee than Jay either. That's the crazy thing. Jay has way more versatility.
