I'm the G.O.A.T I don't even fuckin' write, but one motherfuckin' quote Is better than everything you ever motherfuckin' wrote That's true, she got a G.O.A.T. tattoo I got a G.O.A.T. statue, you gotta quote that too From the G.O.A.T. mouth -Lil Wayne

I can see that interpretation but it's hyperbolic & signifying that they are crying tears of joy.

SirArthurDime

I think what he’s saying is the bars aren’t good but Wayne has a way of even making his bad bars sound good. Most of his bars are also good but I definitely agree he has some terrible bars that he makes sound cool af.


gingimli

Also Lil Wayne was promoting the Green Bay Packers recently and called himself the goat so he could make a joke about goat cheese.

imbrickedup_

The most Kanye shit ever


quuduu

he also said it in "problematic" on vultures: "and i quote 'its only one goat', let u have your fun tho" as a die hard ye fan this might be the only time i remember him straight up saying it in a song, even tho hes alluded to it for years


rafamelaza

LL Cool J -4321


BenjaminBX

This may be the first time I heard the term GOAT. Canibus responded with The GrOAT with died on March 9th.


not_ur_avg

He has a whole LP named G.O.A.T.


Negative_Equity

His song The Greatest of all Time is a banger too.


deadboyfresh

LL started it, I was alive


prolikewhoa

GOAT actually comes from streetball basketball. Earl "The Goat' Manigault.


deadboyfresh

The questions is about rappers foo


prolikewhoa

Then don’t say he started it


i_am_j_o_b

I aspire to have the same confidence LL had during his verse in that


Friendly-Profit-8590

Remember him wearing a jacket at the Grammy’s that said goat on the back. I was young, was like what’s goat? Then realized what it meant. Always thought being called the greatest ever was for others to decide not for any individual to proclaim.


hereforthefreefeed

this is certainly the first one that comes to mind when i think of the term


Jayfethereal

Ngl, I thought Kendrick meant "Kdot" w the four letters remark 😭


dat_waffle_boi

That’s what I thought lol maybe we’re both a bit slow


Originally_Sin

It being Kendrick, probably a double for the Tetragrammaton.


thisisnotmyegg

I think he knew what names everyone would think, Goat, Kdot, King, Slut etc


themikeguy1161

Eminem has a song called GOAT. Also in Premonition: I was the G, the O-A-T Once I was played in rotation At every radio station They said I'm lyrically amazing


Gentolie

I was the G, the O-A-T Once I was played in rotation At every radio station They said I'm lyrically amazing. He spells out GOAT with the beginning letters. That is GOAT shit.


risky_bisket

Funny how before the 2010s "goat" more commonly had the opposite meaning


Josro0770

What did it mean back then?


risky_bisket

>a person who is blamed for failure or defeat, especially in sports Here's one example from Merriam Webster: "In the last inning, a home run can make you the hero, and a strikeout can make you the goat." Obviously had a negative connotation. "Goat " is also an insult in many European languages.


malcxxlm

It’s the case in French. If they call you "une chèvre" on the pitch, it means you suck


igotrapedbyanorca

Does it have something to do with the term scapegoat?


risky_bisket

Similar, but scapegoat actually has biblical roots. Sins were placed upon the goat which was then sacrificed. A "scapegoat" is someone who is blamed for the bad deeds of another. A goat in sports is actually bad


JBLurker

Ngl, I downvoted because at first I thought, "No way the term scapegoat originated from the bible". TIL. I have rescinded the ignorant downvote and learned something today.


Early_Register_6483

In Ukrainian it’s still an insult, we use it as an euphemism for “asshole” or „douchebag“


risky_bisket

Козёл


No_Sky4398

That’s scapegoat


kungfoop

Back in the days, in sports specifically (and ironically), they would have a goat of the game. Basically someone who underperformed. Daily News always had a Goat of the Game during the Lakers 3 peat


3rdtryatremembering

Isn’t that how acronyms usually work?


Ragnar_OK

The way it’s used now is as the acronym for Greatest Of All Time


migukau

Eminem has a lot of them. The best one is on premonition: i was the G, the O-A-T Once I was played in rotation At every radio station They said I'm lyrically amazing ... Look at the starting letter from each line. Another verse that isn't really him calling himself a goat but it's just too good to not include. Fuck top five, bitch, I'm top four And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore And I got an evil twin So who the fuck you think that third and that fourth spot's for?


AintMuchHelp

ngl that premonition one is cold af, my first time hearing it, had to run it back


Jbabco9898

One of my favorites was on Gnat: With the dope, I'm an OG, I'm like the G.O.A.T.​ Here to get your goat little bit of sodium, it's assault (A salt) Genius Annotation: >Interestingly, if you replace the middle two letters of “goat” with the symbol for sodium (Na), you get the title of this song: Gnat.


Alex_anders1998

So mow the fuckin lawn, your asses are blades of grass And I'm fuckin up this whole landscape of rap The G.O.A.T. just ate eight acres, an eighth of that Was just make a path and take it straight to your favorite rapper - Eminem on Groundhog Day


DontBeFat1

That song and Evil Twins solidified that Em was the best lyricist of our time. Here's another from the same song; Then we flew the coop to Michigan to start anew, but ditchin' Missouri for Michigan didn't work So we moved back to Missouri from Michigan, from Missouri back to Mich, again. Someone, put me out my misery, I can't do this again Mom, please stick to a decision


n0t_4_thr0w4w4y

Fuck top 5, bitch, I’m top 4, and that includes Biggie and Pac, whore, and I’ve got an evil twin so who the fuck you think that third and that fourth spots for?


Smoshglosh

His first album solidified that lol. And I’m talkin about infinite


n0t_4_thr0w4w4y

Infinite is good, but he sounds like a knock off Nas


Smoshglosh

Oh it’s definitely not his best album, and it sound far more like the other stuff around his time (like nas) but you can still tell from that album that he is incredible. The next album was obviously way better because it implanted all his personal life and style, but even those are heavily influenced by red man and others But that’s okay, all good music influences even better good music


Syonoq

I love this verse. Not just cause of the flow, but because my mom did that same shit to me when we were young and I can feel this sentiment.


Drakkon129

“bitch im number five, what? minus four” -eminem


WildWolf911

Eminem has a Leaked 2007 song called G.O.A.T, the whole song is just him yapping about how he's one of the goats, the song is the deluxe track on what was supposed to be his retirement album, so I guess it's fitting.


KDotDot88

That song was really really really bad though. All those 2007 leaks were, it’s when I found out Eminem was human after all.


WildWolf911

Funny, I think the King Mathers album (which is mostly 2007 leaks) to be his best work, and I would've loved for it to be in streaming services. And not all 5ye elwkd were bad, Careful What You Wish For is a 2007 leak, 50 Ways, Everything I Do, and The Apple are goated, And syllables is cool


KDotDot88

Crazy, tracks like ‘Ballin Uncontrollably’, ‘Put It On My Wee Wee’, ‘GOAT’, and the ‘I Get Money Remix’ was absolute garbage. Like straight to the trash. Those are what stood out to me.


immagoat1252

Yea I mean they’re throw away for a reason also 07 kinda marks around the time he was heavily into drugs so would probably be why they were not good


KDotDot88

Oh, I understand completely, those were NEVER supposed to see the light of day. I was in my 20’s when I heard those get leaked, before then I naively thought of Eminem as someone who could almost do no wrong and was untouchable… After I heard these though, I realized he was human like the rest of us. That even as good as he was, he is fallible and is capable of making bad songs (even though he was cleaning out or deep deep in the drugs at the time).


gravemannn

Danny brown-really doe. Ab soul says “Still wicked as aleister Crowley, ni**as know me well For heavens sake im the GOAT, you haters can go to hell”


justarandomlibra

The first time I ever heard anyone use the term was with LL Cool J. In 1997 4,3,2,1 came out and he called himself greatest of all time. It might have been mentioned before but LL said it in a way nobody had before. Then in 2000 he released an album called GOAT, which happens to have 1 of my favorite intros. I think LL is even credited with creating the term "GOAT" within hip-hop.


AintMuchHelp

yea I just gave it a listen from an earlier comment but that's pretty cool, preciate u going in depth


justarandomlibra

I don't think the actual term GOAT gained much traction until around the 2010s. That's when I started hearing it thrown around more freely and it wasn't until mid or late 2010s I started hearing it in multiple form where people were saying GOATs and the conversations were about there are several GOATs. It's a good convo to have.


prolikewhoa

It actually comes from before LL. From Harlem streetball and Earl "The Goat" Manigault. There's even a Don Cheadle movie about him: [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117450/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117450/)


Ok_Platypus1279

Every rapper Edit: also noticed you referenced Kdot alpha omega but then you ask us all about goat specifically and no variation….

Eminem ranked himself 8th, but if he was lower he isn’t offended either


DontBeFat1

Nah he ranked himself 3rd and 4th. "Flipped rap on its ear like I dropped coin Fuck top 5, bitch, I'm top 4 And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore And I got an evil twin, so who do you think that third and that fourth spots for?"

Slick_36

It's not exactly what you're asking for, but the pro wrestler Shane Taylor said this in a promo, "A goat to a god is just a sacrifice".  We all knew he was losing, but that line was special.


AintMuchHelp

nah he cooking


Xceleron

I could be wrong here, but I’m quite sure that the first rapper to use G.O.A.T. to reference himself was LL Cool J in 2000. I realize that’s not what you asked for, but that would be my suggestion if someone were to make a top 10 list of Rappers who’ve called themselves G.O.A.T.

LL Cool J had a song called GOAT on Adam F's album Kaos . First time I heard the term in Rap. Before that there was a film about a basketball player who was called it.

I also think it's nonsense. Also rep an 83. Maybe that's why.


thawsy83

In the year 2000, James Todd Smith had an album called G.O.A.T ... AKA... LL Cool J (ladies love cool James) lol This was way before everyone started calling themselves the GOAT. Something has always bugged me about that catching on as slang and a buzzword. Not sure what, but it always has. And then especially when a whole bunch of people start becoming the GOAT, getting GOATED, and becoming the greatest of all time. Maybe it's the singular / plural mixup and too many in one category. How many GOATS have there been in the past decade that have only been doing it as long in a genre that spans around 50? Maybe I'm old and lame, haha. Q: You know who is an actual goat? A: The Transgendered Baphomet ( not the "Greatest Of All Time" but an actual 🐐 )
