Hot 97 Mount Rushmore of the top rappers of ALL TIME

[Canada Goose]

 

[Mike Wins]

Nas and Jay ain't on the list but I'm sure we can still turn this into a Nas vs. Jay thread

 

[Larry]

Nas Jay Big and Kendrick Lamar

I said what I said cuh

 

[Love Sosa]

[Controversy]

Pac Nas Big

 

[Raw Sauce]

Rakim, Tupac, Wayne, Kendrick

Regardless of my preferences, I'd say these guys are the most important of their eras, IMO

 

[NormanConnors]

No Ra on this or the NY list

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

Lil Wayne look like Kendrick with dreads

 

[Canada Goose]

Pac is the only one who is on that list who should be there without question....


The others? debatable.




2pac still gets discussed in Black media DECADES after that man died



Art of Dialogue became one of the top Hip Hop Youtube channels of the 2020s just by talking about a man who breathed his last breath in September of 1996


I'm assuming they are factoring overall impact on Hip Hop for this list.

These lists are obviously generated to piss people off and market Hot97 as everybody starts discussing their lists on these podcasts. Easy way to get free publicity.

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Eminem and Lil Wayne? Negro pls

 

[Metal Face]

nas and jay stans LAWST

 

[Yecht]

Looks like they combined Jay-Z & Lil Wayne into 1 extra ugly person on the right
