So, list off who you think are the three best rappers to ever make music. The "best or greatest" based on legacy, skill, popularity, and success. And who are three of the worst mainstream rappers as well? You can also say more than just three, as well.
And now, I'll tell you my choices.
MY GREATEST EVER LIST
The GOAT: Eminem
Second Best: Tupac
Third Best: Jay-Z (yes, he's kinda overrated I know, but few are more influential than him)
THE TRASH PILE
Fourth Worst: Drake
Third Worst: Nicki Minaj
Second Worst: L'il Wayne
Worst Ever: Literally all mumble rappers, including Cardi B and Machine Gun Kelly
And I'll say it now and piss some of y'all off: Biggie was super overrated. He has NOT stood the test of time! And he is NOT one of the greatest of all time! I'll put DMX, Rakim, KRS-One, Kanye, LL Cool J, and even Nas higher than Biggie. And he used to be one of my favorites too, but put away the nostalgia glasses and look at reality. Notorious BIG is not that good!
Nas was too overrated as hell too, TBH. But at least Nas is still good nowadays, even if nobody under 30 even knows who he is anymore. Only Millennials still like Biggie and Nas, sad to say. Nas is decent, but definitely isn't in the Top Five of All Time. Maybe the top 10, though. At number ten.
And I grew up on the East Coast too, so don't try to call me a Cali boy.
