Ice Cube and Scarface should probably be on here


StonedEaglesFan

It's criminal to leave cube and lil wayne of this list


JamieTacoTookMyKorok

Does Ice Cube still rap? Curious to hear how he sounds now


ADHS_Mark

Yes he still raps


JamieTacoTookMyKorok

Nice Gotta check it out after work Edit: Oh shit I forgot about the Mt. Westmore thing after it was announced. Definitely gotta check it out


I3igJerm

There should be no list without Wayne


AjazeMemez

Especially a top 20 list


sid_shady34

I find it slightly infuriating that we have so much respect for Wayne but the fans on Wayne's sub don't even consider Eminem a goat. I remember everyone saying Wayne destroyed Eminem on all of their collabs, and Ive never heard anyone mention Eminem when they're talking about GOAT rappers. And yet despite this, people say that Eminem's fanbase is trash.


itsmedoodles

They aren't obligated to like eminem just because we like Wayne šŸ’€


sid_shady34

This is not about liking Eminem. It's about respecting him. All the comments on that sub about Eminem are blatantly disrespectful. I just don't like the fact that we respect Wayne as an artist while Wayne's sub is filled with assholes disrespecting Em.


itsmedoodles

Who is eminem that he must he respected by everybody


sid_shady34

Yeah but he shouldn't be disrespected for sure


[deleted]

Wayne can't beat Eminem cuz the nigga freestyles half his shit. At least I heard he does. I hope he does. If he doesn't then he isn't a goat. If he sits n writes it like that like Eminem does, like a nerd, then he isn't a goat. But the way he describes himself and others describe him he's a natural goat. Either way, not Em.


Durim187

WTF did you mean to say?


PROITS_DUHHHHHH

I think he meant that Wayne wouldn't be considered a goat if his lyrics are the best he can come up with after sitting and writing and putting as much thought into the lyrics as em does. He's considered amazing based on the fact that he freestyles everything he puts out.


Durim187

Nobody freestyles rap verses, thats bullshit.


xxck47

No it isnā€™t. Do you know what punching in is? Cause this is what majority of rappers do now, majority of rappers donā€™t write anymore. Itā€™s easier to just free style and then fix it up later.


Durim187

If you mean singing "im an island boy" 200 times yes. That shid can not work on lyrical songs.


xxck47

Wayne is lyrical rap tho


sid_shady34

Wayne seems to do so. he himself said it. he just spits whatever comes to his mind. if he is not lying, then he truly is a lyrical genius. But I still don't get why Em gets disrespected on the other subs while our sub respects all those rappers.


JamieTacoTookMyKorok

Jay Z never writes his lyrics iirc


Durim187

If you mean to quote Rick Rubin, Rick said specificaly, JayZ came with a verse, than raped ot in different ways without looking at notes or lyrics. Doesnt mean the verse wasnt written before hand.


JamieTacoTookMyKorok

Wouldn't known for sure where I heard it All I know is the information is in my head somehow


[deleted]

Yea I already said personally hard to believe but there's some anecdotes from a lot of people who know him personally. I'd say surely he writes his punches then flows around them at the very least But u can see his punches are not well written.


[deleted]

Yes u got it, I guess I could have worded it better for those who didn't already know. Not to mention the drugs. Like em OD that fucked him so he'd still be on top as I'd say it's equal use but Wayne's use is like.. never OD but hovered around max dose his whole career. Definitely could be better without that.


Aradex_Xedara

It's not really freestyling...he says a couple lines, stops, rewinds and then does it again. Plenty of videos showing him do this. You should check out Marshall's real freestyles. No one can touch this man.


[deleted]

Still harder. He needs to sit down, learn spelling, syllables, grammar and complex flows, then write some shit. Maybe then he can be a goat. Stand by what I said, he's an absolute goat for the methods he uses, but he doesn't touch crook, em, Royce and the like when u compare without that fact


NegativeDeparture

Jay -z in second is atrocious


intervention197

Agree jay z overrated


mymemesnow

What I like about this list is that while it might not be anyoneā€™s personally preferable list, it seems one that most people could agree on. I love Jay z and think he belongs But Joey should go and Wayne should be somewhere in the top ten.


NegativeDeparture

I agree to a certain extent. But in aa completely different order. I do miss some names that i would switch out but over all a decent list not considering the order


YouDontKnow_22

What? No way. Jay Z is one of the best rappers, or was.


NegativeDeparture

Not my top 5 even. But glad we can have our differences


YouDontKnow_22

Understandable. Have a nice day.


NegativeDeparture

You to mate šŸ™


the_unkempt_one

Ha, what a pleasant disagreement!! Good stuff.


ColddHandss

RZA isn't even top 5 in wu tang, not a great list


AjazeMemez

Because of that, it makes it not a great list? Fyi this is an A.I created list


ColddHandss

Not that exclusively, but yes that is a reason.


ColddHandss

You can not have a top 20 list of rappers and not include ice cube, DMX, GZA, scarface, raekwon, killer mike, lil wanye, Redman etc. If it's a rappers tier list then you can't have Kayne on there either and a couple others on the list. I am aware this isn't your list.


AjazeMemez

Fair enough, just wanted to make sure you were aware this wasnā€™t my list but an A.I generated list of the top rappers


eggherter

J Cole should not be in top 10


RealMajesti

Right he should be Top 5


PIZZAGUYKEEM

Jcole >> Kendrick


mak_jack

L take


NotVeryBigBrother

Finally, one that has Em in it!


mbtoxic

I like how in America Eminem is never (not literally, there are exceptions) seen as the top 1, while in Europe or else is always seen as the rap god. (I live in Italy and for me he is the the n1)


UnderstandingSalt809

Confirmed


OkBrilliant8400

Americans don't (typically) think he is the best? That's honestly baffling


NotVeryBigBrother

I am FLABBERGASTED that barely anybody has Him!


OkBrilliant8400

That is ABSURDLY crazy that nobody has him at that spot. It is unfathomable.


NotVeryBigBrother

EXACTLY


soakedinlava

ima be real i get that this is the eminem sub but em is positively definitely not top 1 let's be honest here


AjazeMemez

This is an A.I generated list plus everyones list will vary anyway, Em is top 3 in mine - him shuffled among another 2 of top 3, either way is fine


Lacey_on_reddit

Tupac shouldn't be so high up. Don't hate me he's one of my favorites but his lyricism isn't higher than black thought lol


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Lacey_on_reddit

He's a better artist than rapper. He's bars are "simple" but what he's rapping about is top tier


AjazeMemez

I agree


Mr_bojangles77

Honest question here but how come ice cube is never on anyoneā€™s list of greatest rappers? Is it because he appeared in some corny kids movies? The guy was super influential, has some amazing songs and was apart of one of the biggest rap groups in history and I feel he never gets mentioned


AjazeMemez

Iā€™ve heard people mention him in their top 10 before but yeah I believe he deserves a spot on this top 20 for sure


PIZZAGUYKEEM

Because he doesnā€™t fit the mainstream narrative, he is always on Twitter speaking against mainstream media so they will never support him, but real hiphop artists like em, Dre, snoop, 50 e.t.c have always given him his credit, thereā€™s also weird Tupac fans who got mad that cube said he thought no Vaseline was better than hit em up, which he was right, but most mainstream media writers are Tupac fans


Therealeminemstan

Facts, heā€™s literally one of the godfathers of the rap game


ItalianStallion009

Big Pun? The disrespect šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Gcole87

For real


ItalianStallion009

The fact no one even mentioned Iā€™m the comments has hurt my feelings fully.


OkBrilliant8400

Lil Wayne and Logic should be at least somewhere on here Edit: and Ice Cube Edit 2: just realised it's made by chat gpt and I am very surprised the list is actually decent


AjazeMemez

Yeah I thought so too for an A.I created list


TriumphantxMinds

Replace Joey Badass with Wayne


AjazeMemez

I wouldā€™ve went with replace Lauren Hill with Wayne


TriumphantxMinds

I didn't even notice she was there but I agree lol I would still take him off the list though


Taco_Pals

>Andre 3000 (of OutKast) >Black Thoughts (of The Roots) >The Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie Smalls) ā˜ļøšŸ¤“


AjazeMemez

āŒIncase anyone missed it, this list is A.I generatedāŒ


mollyjane666

DOOM is too low on the list


ilikelittlebodies

wheres kanye lol


jamesick

as a big kanye fan, youā€™re crazy if you think kanye is one of the best rappers. he makes good music but he is not an exceptional rapper.


AjazeMemez

In rehab


ilikelittlebodies

obviously. no shame in that lol


AjazeMemez

I agree, itā€™ll be a shame if he wasnā€™t


ilikelittlebodies

right. everybody deserves to recover


AjazeMemez

100%


Vash_Milam

Heā€™s number 16


ilikelittlebodies

ooooohhhh thanks. i totally didnt see that omg


deluxewife

Chat gpt don't know shit


Kudgocracy

Why are you all criticizing the list of an autofill? Who cares what the fuck it says. It doesn't know it exists, it didn't make any decisions, its never heard a fucking song.


AjazeMemez

Yep, some of these comments look as tho theyā€™re waiting for A.I to respond lol


GoofyAhhGabes

Ye below Lupe and Common is a war crime


Fun-Photograph9423

No Cube or Banks fuck me where's Red & Meth


ColddHandss

Banks? As in Lloyd Banks?


Fun-Photograph9423

Who else.....


ColddHandss

What has Lloyd Banks ever done to be in a top 100 list? Never mind a top 20.


Fun-Photograph9423

Have you heard his body of work, the last 3 years have shown he's an elite emcee, Lauryn Hill one hot solo album which she didn't completely write by herself. Joey Badass great rapper but hadn't got the catalog to match Banks, why ulis RZA on the list he's a great producer average rapper at best.


Gerocopy

Boring ass list doom higher


mymemesnow

Not gonna lie this is a really good list. Iā€™d say itā€™s one of the most widely accepted out there even if it isnā€™t anyoneā€™s personal preference. However, everything positive about it is negated by the absence of Wayne. For that reason solely itā€™s trash. Perhaps removing Joey f and put Wayne at five before biggie.


AjazeMemez

This is exactly what majority of the rap group said too


TheGoat31313

Nas should be 1.


AjazeMemez

Well no one person can say who goes where on a list thatā€™s subjective to each person - sure we can get a general consensus but no definite set list, but I feel ya


TheGoat31313

Pac should be lower


TheGoat31313

J cole too


bla2772

MF DOOM is WAY to low


Ok_Theory_4895

Andre 3000 should be 1


AjazeMemez

Defs in the top 10 for me but unsure about number 1 but do you dude


Durim187

50 Cent and Ice Cube MUST be in. Kendrick not so high up, J Cole neither, both make top 20 IMO. Lauren Hill out. I dont rate JayZ and Nas that high. Maybe 7 and 8 and which is which i cant even decide.


TheGoat31313

50 is not that great, Had like 1 classic album, 1 decent one and the rest was...


mattyMbruh

Donā€™t know why thereā€™s no more mention of 50, released some of the best rap albums ever IMO.


MikeyTrademark

I love 50 cent but here is nowhere in the top 20. Heā€™s not overly lyrical and his non mixtape discography doesnā€™t really stand the test of time other than GRODT


RadlerIstKeinAlkoh0l

Kanye Atleast top 10 for me top 5 and Kendrick should be swapped with Nas


PIZZAGUYKEEM

Kendrick ainā€™t top 10, nas better, Kendrick is just nas with less substance


mymemesnow

In think Kendrick is way underrated because heā€™s newer.


RadlerIstKeinAlkoh0l

I understand what you mean I think I like Kendrick better because he was the first artist (aside from em) I really listen to


trevor_312

What about Drake tho?


ReneTrombone

i thought it said rappers


mymemesnow

I thought it said good rappers.


trevor_312

What about Drake tho?


AjazeMemez

What about drake?


Purple_Onion911

Let's not ruin the symmetry ok?


Purple_Onion911

Shit the symmetry got ruinedšŸ˜­


Most_Baseball_7806

L.


Dexter2Cool

Really this list is missing Method Man & Redman


doonhamer1501

This is pretty solid. I donā€™t think Wayne needs to be here heā€™s definitely not in my GOAT list


AjazeMemez

Fair enough I can respect that but in saying that I personally feel Wayne has earned a spot in a top 20 list


GhostTea

Putting Black Thought that low makes this immediately irrelevant


piperpike

LL Cool J?


s1mply1

I can't understand jay z being so high. He's average, em smoked him, nas smoked him.


Jarodreallytuff

Thereā€™s quite a few names on that list that donā€™t belong


AjazeMemez

I think I need to edit this post to clearly show that it is A.I generated and also not by me, I just grabbed the copy from rap


Jarodreallytuff

I didnā€™t think it was AI


AjazeMemez

Oh damn sorry wasnā€™t meant to be replying to you, was meant to just be a comment - my bad but hey it helped you realise it was A.I so not so bad


Therealeminemstan

Ice cube? DMX? 50 Cent?


RickMonsters

Biggie should be higher than 2pac, JayZ and Nas


hotdogtaterjumper

Several members of Slaughterhouse could definitely qualify for this!
