In Africa, Tupac is still bigger than Jay Z and all the rappers in that list. Jay Z is only big to hip-hop heads, but most people only know him for being Beyonce's husband. I'm talking about globally and not just in the U.S - till this day, we have hoods in Africa tagged West side and Thug life. People still play Dear Mama, Hail Mary, and Changes more than any Jay Z or Biggie song ( I'm talking about black areas which count as majority in Africa- I'm not talking about any Spotify or Apple music review). Global Impact no one comes near to Tupac in Africa, and when we talk about Europe, no one comes close to Eminem. Hip-hop is not just about opinions in New york.

Jay Z at #1 and Kendrick at #2 is comical.

[@onyxonyx4744]

Kendrick #2 is wild but Jay's legacy is bullet proof. He is the ONLY correct position on that entire list. Cleary checks all of the boxes of their criteria and whoever is #2 is a DISTANT second.

[@Jay62812]

How is Kendrick at #2 comical?

[@rt-rd5of]

@@Jay62812 He's being pushed by mainstream. He can release an album of fart sounds and the critics will rate it 10/10 and cement it as one of the greatest albums in the history of mankind. He's being sold as a goat when he is actually mid. What can he do that Andre 3K can't? On the west coast Game isn't on the list but could beat him in a rap battle, could make better songs, and has more cultural impact.

Kareem won't drop because current NBA players don't play enough games.

[@andrewswing9917]

He definitely will. Steph at 32k plus same for Kevin. But being realistic, it's easier to average 25/7/7. So to your point, you don't need to play all 82. Kareem will drop quick as hell. I mean, the LaMelo ball for the hornets, just recently past 1,500 assists and hasn't played 200 games to say the least.

@@marcusrgb Kendrick is highly overrated. It's become popular to call him one of the greatest rappers when he's not. He's an industry plant. Put it this way. Joe Budden's best song is better than Kendrick's best song. And Joe isn't even ranked in top 50 here.

Jarule style is the style 50 took and had a 5 year run with. Snh

[@toddlinnear2502]

They categorized The ruler as a "British rapper", which i guess is technically true but come on.. Who is more hiphop than Slick Rick? Kinda odd and arbitrary that they restricted it to rappers from North America. lol. North America, really? You aint fooling anybody. Just say you wanted to include Drake 😂
