Yesterday, Billboard released their top 10 greatest rappers of all time list.
In an accompanying statement, they said: “Die hard fans, music nerds and critics love lists. But in rap, greatest-of-all-time rankings like this take on a special level of import: aside from moving a crowd (shouts to Rakim), MC means proving you’re the best.
In no other genre do artists so blatantly express their desire to outdo competition. That made Billboard’s list a more high-stakes undertaking than usual. Many of our favorites — Big Daddy Kane, Drake, KRS-One — didn’t make it, and each of those omissions hurts deep down.
We also have to note: we’re ranking rappers, not rap artists. That’s why Dr. Dre and Kanye West, for example, two legendary producer-artists who don’t match the mic skills of those listed here, were left out.” However people are furious with them….. saying even if 2pac didn’t make d list, Olamide shld av made it
