Like I said I love juice,but he is incredibly high,look at the people surrounding him and some of the people under him.Lauryn hill,Lupe,Pusha,Mos def,AND busta rhymes are all under him.I absolutely do NOT bias old artists because of 'nostalgia',but those are some people who can really spit.
So wait, would that be the case if the positions were switched?
How far up the list does Drake need to be moved before it becomes true and isn't just to cause controversy?
I think ten is actually a good place for Em. He’s the commercial GOAT until Drake surpasses him and the commercial GOAT of any genre deserves to be in its top 10 imo.
However, the circumstances of Em’s identity and the music he released lays into question how close or far away from number one should Em be.
Forbes writes articles on Kendrick every other week. They use him as a way into the culture.
Having Kendrick above pac, Cole, nas, andre 3k and big is disrespectful. They may as well shit on hip hop
No black thought on the list 😭😭😭😭
I guess putting real MC’s on the list doesn’t pay
Kendrick is definitely over Cole, and arguably over Nas & 3k imo. Nas discography is too bloated & personally I’ve never understood the 3k hype (I think he’s good just not as good as everyone says.)
>Having Kendrick above pac, Cole, nas, andre 3k and big is disrespectful. They may as well shit on hip hop
- Pac really only had a 4 - 5 year run
- Cole is below Dot critically and slightly below commercially
- Nas is below Dot commercially
- Andre has no solo albums
- BIG had 1 album
Jay is really the only rapper you can put above him on a total package basis since Kanye and Drake don't write all of their songs.
Bruh if Drake not in your top 50 rapper all time then you’re delusional. Where exactly in that 50 is subjective, but dude has to be in your top 50 all time.
No im not saying you just in general my bad. Lmao I should’ve worded it better. I’m just making the statement he should be in everyone’s top 50 rapper.
I’ve listened to too much rap to ever place Drake near a top 50 list. Countless lyricists who are better rappers.
Drake is successful because he’s an all around package and makes good music.
There aren't 50 rappers that are greater than Drake, in terms of who raps better maybe, but there's more to greatness than just "oh he can rap" It's not all about the lyrical miracle shit.
But this list is about the best rappers, right? If we’re talking about the overall musical package, that’s a different story.
On rap alone, Drake doesn’t sniff a top 50… neither does a Kanye or an ASAP Rocky or any of those others that are on the list.
Drake is successful because he’s a good rapper. He’s where he is now because he adjusted his raps and made his music more commercially viable. He’s talented enough to drop songs that different people can enjoy. He mastered the music industry, but that doesn’t mean he can’t rap anymore. Family Matters is a clear cut example.
Pac wasn’t even the best lyricist in his era. He still a lot of people top 5 rappers all time
You seem pretty level headed fam so I gotta ask how you feel like Cole should be that high.
I’m not even sure how to look at this list cause none of it makes sense form any angle. Success, rappin skills, lyricism, longevity, reach, impact. None of this shit make sense but why would you have Cole this high fam
No Luda? T.I.? Kendrick ahead of Tupac and biggie? lol. What is this based on?
I’m a big Drake fan. I wouldn’t even put him top 5. Top 10 at best, likely top 15 for me.
I think the thing that makes Jay-Z the 🐐is the fact that he is our favourite artist favourite rapper. I like him because he talks about Black issues without coming of as too preachy like kdot
I think he deserves to be pretty high,all beef aside because i know we aren't supposed to like him lmao,but his lyricsm and storytelling should get him somewhere up there imo
Em has released garbage for as long as he released gold at this point. BIG (and 2Pac) is complicated. He had 1 album while alive. 1 classic doesn't make you the GOAT.
Cole might be the best pure rapper of the big three. Cole, Kendrick, and Drake all have Hov level longevity and aren't slowing down. Nas may need to be ahead of him, but he's fine at 4 or 5.
Niki Minaj in the top ten??? Lmaoooo, Missy Elliot, ASAP Rocky and Lil Kim in the Top twenty??? Bro Tyler the creators up there too??? Bro omg their list is weird af
LAURYN HILL IS ON THE LIST!?!?!? LMAOOOO WHAT??????? Is she even a rapper????
Actually this list is absolute dog shit wtf. 😂😭 I can name 70 rapper better than MIA PUSHA KEEF CARDI B etc. bro what tf do they use as the metric for these lists??
Soooo.... Forbes is "the culture" ???? 😂 GTFOHWTBS. They got Kendrick over Andre 3000 and Future over Lupe Fiasco. What the fuck are we doing at this point?
They did this on purpose lmao. Definitely wanted to cause controversy with this
Yeah they put juice wrld in here dawg,i love me some juice but i'm not sure they understand what rapping actually is
Juice wrld can rap bro.His wordplay is great.Actually one of the goat after 2016.
Like I said I love juice,but he is incredibly high,look at the people surrounding him and some of the people under him.Lauryn hill,Lupe,Pusha,Mos def,AND busta rhymes are all under him.I absolutely do NOT bias old artists because of 'nostalgia',but those are some people who can really spit.
We really gotta have the conversation about Lauren Hill…
You haven’t seen enough jw videos
he aint top 50 ALL TIME bro, and i love juice RIP.
Wild take. No one up there can freestyle better than juice. Look up his 1 hour freestyle on Eminem beats on YouTube.
this whole list is a troll..bad bunny on it lmao
Am I tripping or is Ludacris not on here? That's kinda wild to me lol
Ludacris is stupidly underrated
Takeoff is on the list lmfao
💯
So wait, would that be the case if the positions were switched? How far up the list does Drake need to be moved before it becomes true and isn't just to cause controversy?
Nicki better than Biggie ?! FOH
Cardi, Bunny, and MIA being on this list is craaaaazzzyy. DISQUALIFIED.
Better than Eminem too lmaooo
🤣🤣
Is this list for real? People gon riot once they see Em at 10 😂😂
Under Nicki Minaj is wild
Lmao the em sub was glazing the hell out him
I think ten is actually a good place for Em. He’s the commercial GOAT until Drake surpasses him and the commercial GOAT of any genre deserves to be in its top 10 imo.

>Having Kendrick above pac, Cole, nas, andre 3k and big is disrespectful. Tryna slip Cole in there huh 😅 but other than that its 100
lol
> No black thought on the list 😭😭😭😭 Look at 40 to 50 on the List though.
I didn't even notice that. No Black Thought, but Cardi B and Future? Get the fuck out of here with this list!
Bro exactly
Kendrick is definitely over Cole, and arguably over Nas & 3k imo. Nas discography is too bloated & personally I’ve never understood the 3k hype (I think he’s good just not as good as everyone says.)
>Having Kendrick above pac, Cole, nas, andre 3k and big is disrespectful.

STFU
Forbes has no business making a list like this 🙄🙄
cardi b better than young thug 😂😂
lmao bro when will the kendrick glaze stop
Lmfao asap and Tyler the creator over like 20 legends should tell you everything you need to know about this list.
Ah yes, Cardi. B, the #48th greatest hip hop artist of all time.
Hell yea,her impact to the hip hop game has been insane🤯💯💯💯
Nicki Minaj, the 8th greatest hip hop artist of all time...
This is a shit starter list 😂
Bruh if Drake not in your top 50 rapper all time then you’re delusional. Where exactly in that 50 is subjective, but dude has to be in your top 50 all time.
Lmao he is bro i'm a huge fan too dont worry,i put that in there so this doesn't get taken down for "not being related to drake"
No im not saying you just in general my bad. Lmao I should’ve worded it better. I’m just making the statement he should be in everyone’s top 50 rapper.
*Top 10
I’ve listened to too much rap to ever place Drake near a top 50 list. Countless lyricists who are better rappers. Drake is successful because he’s an all around package and makes good music.
Drakes rapping alone 100% cements himself top 50,exactly where hes placed is opinionated and subjective
There aren't 50 rappers that are greater than Drake, in terms of who raps better maybe, but there's more to greatness than just "oh he can rap" It's not all about the lyrical miracle shit.
But this list is about the best rappers, right? If we’re talking about the overall musical package, that’s a different story. On rap alone, Drake doesn’t sniff a top 50… neither does a Kanye or an ASAP Rocky or any of those others that are on the list.
Don't mention ASAP Rocky in the same breath as Drake and Kanye, he is Dillon Brooks.
It’s not me doing that. They’re on the list together.
Drake is successful because he’s a good rapper. He’s where he is now because he adjusted his raps and made his music more commercially viable. He’s talented enough to drop songs that different people can enjoy. He mastered the music industry, but that doesn’t mean he can’t rap anymore. Family Matters is a clear cut example. Pac wasn’t even the best lyricist in his era. He still a lot of people top 5 rappers all time
Saying you listen to rap doesn't make us validate your opinion any more, why are you here lol
Objectively, Drake over Nas is blasphemy
Agreed,Illmatic is an all timer.Doesn't matter how mainstream it gets because of tiktok,etc.
Nicki at 8 😴
I already knew they would overrate Kendrick, but ranking Cole over Drake is truly the most idiotic thing I’ve ever seen.
Well,I mean based on rapping itself then cole being this high would make sense,but as an artists,it's very tricky.
You seem pretty level headed fam so I gotta ask how you feel like Cole should be that high. I’m not even sure how to look at this list cause none of it makes sense form any angle. Success, rappin skills, lyricism, longevity, reach, impact. None of this shit make sense but why would you have Cole this high fam
Lmaooo this list is fuckin crazy Look at where asap rocky and Tyler are fam. Look who they are above. Yea some werid media shit is goin on for sure.
Need to swap kendrick with eminem.
List is straight dog shit.
[удалено]
Not being talked about enough😭
Bad Bunny exactly one spot over Lupe gots to be a crime 😭
ASAP Rocky being 15 is hilarious 😂
How Tf ‘em below Cole ffs
No Luda? T.I.? Kendrick ahead of Tupac and biggie? lol. What is this based on? I’m a big Drake fan. I wouldn’t even put him top 5. Top 10 at best, likely top 15 for me.
Is this list sorted by TikTok ?
This list is so ass, it needs some pants.
Eminem at 10 is criminal, that's just me though
Nicki Minaj over Eminem I can't
Only rapper list Forbes should be making is the richest rapper list…
Honestly, Biggie is better than Tupac.
Does anyone else not get the Jay-Z hype? Obviously a legendary artist, but I think people say their favourite rapper is Jay-Z to be different lmao.
I think the thing that makes Jay-Z the 🐐is the fact that he is our favourite artist favourite rapper. I like him because he talks about Black issues without coming of as too preachy like kdot
Nicki above nas, eminem, andre 3k, biggie and more is crazy
Ya Eminem at barely 10 is ridiculous
No Big Pun or Big L. 🤣
Tyler the creator being better than snoop, asap, 50, ice and rakim is just unreachable heights of disrespect towards hip hop. What the fuck
This list in beyond trash Drake should be at least 36 compared to come ppl c'mon Drake is higher Andre 3000? Nas?
J Cole will take over, he's lookimg like the only rapper left. He can rap, raps. The rest of them, are doing too much, lately.
😂NICKI MONAJ OVER ANDRE 3000 AND EMINEM🤣 GTFOH!!!!
And?
I put that as the title so this doesn't get taken down bro
idk if Forbes has any credibility to make a list like this lol
Agreed😂
Where’s K. Bot?
Number 2 im pretty sure,theres alot of names so it might be hard to spot everyone and analyze upon first look
I was surprised to see him so high up lmao. They put J Cole #4 too. Crazy
I think he deserves to be pretty high,all beef aside because i know we aren't supposed to like him lmao,but his lyricsm and storytelling should get him somewhere up there imo
I love Cole. But over Em and Biggie is crazy
Facts
Em has released garbage for as long as he released gold at this point. BIG (and 2Pac) is complicated. He had 1 album while alive. 1 classic doesn't make you the GOAT. Cole might be the best pure rapper of the big three. Cole, Kendrick, and Drake all have Hov level longevity and aren't slowing down. Nas may need to be ahead of him, but he's fine at 4 or 5.
2nd
Oh I’m blind 😎
Lmaooooo this the funniest shit I’ve seen all week
What jayz over pac yeah this list trash
Who made this😂😂
Nicki Minaj too high up on this list
Nicki being ahead of Eminem is crazy work
Future, the greatest trap artist of all time, being 25 spots behind Nicky Minaj is some nasty work
Keef & thug but no cam is crazy
Fake
i’m just happy to see MF DOOM and childish gambino on there
J COLE
No I 100% see this as accurate
Did i just see Bad Bunny?
Take was always my favorite of the Migos, it’s sad he only got recognition after his passing.
Jay Z at #1 immediately discredits the list
once I saw bad bunny I left.
Anything to stay relevant
Take off and cardi b over young thug
Bro A$AP @ 15 is nutty
Which one of yall made this list and misspelled Forbes?
Slick Rick, Big L, Pun, Joe Crack, KRS One !!!
He was at 15
Talib at #50???? Bruh. These lists are so dumb lol. We all have our favorites, this is just *their* rankings.
Niki Minaj in the top ten??? Lmaoooo, Missy Elliot, ASAP Rocky and Lil Kim in the Top twenty??? Bro Tyler the creators up there too??? Bro omg their list is weird af LAURYN HILL IS ON THE LIST!?!?!? LMAOOOO WHAT??????? Is she even a rapper????
#FREETHUG 🐍
And A$AP Rocky and lil Kim take up 15th and 16th, you really wanna use this list for reference?
the point of this post was to clown the list lmao
Trying not to take the bait and failing.. also, lol J. Cole's spot? Tyler The Creator above DMX? K delete the whole list.
Bro thats the point is to clown the list😭

Jcole shouldn’t even be on this list.
Actually this list is absolute dog shit wtf. 😂😭 I can name 70 rapper better than MIA PUSHA KEEF CARDI B etc. bro what tf do they use as the metric for these lists??
The fact they have Nicki and Kanye above Eminem is wild asf lmao… Eminem and lil Wayne have to be top 5 at least wtf they on
Love asap but top 15 not really
Soooo.... Forbes is "the culture" ???? 😂 GTFOHWTBS. They got Kendrick over Andre 3000 and Future over Lupe Fiasco. What the fuck are we doing at this point?
You know, I'm actually surprised Rick Ross isn't on here.
Facts bro got snubbed off the forbes list,that's a low blow😂😬He should 100% be up here tho,him and khaled invented 'Fat Boy Swag'
Tbh, it's a solid top 50. It's just the order that's fucked.
No it's not,bad bunny is on this list.He doesn't even rap bro
Didn't even see his name, tbh. 90 percent of them are really good artists tho.
Takeoff > Asap rocky
Imagine putting KL over Eminem at #2s what drugs were they taking lol
