LIVE | Why Billboard’s Top 50 Rappers List is Wrong

[@bunkbed643]

“No MF DOOM equals BULLSHIT” thank you myke

[@stevieb274]

Ya’ll are wrong simply because y’all didn’t read the their criteria. They said keeping it towards North America, and gave the example by saying British Rapper Slick Rick won’t be on this list. With that being said MF doom doesn’t belong on this list that was made

[@Patty_C]

@stevieb274 thats makes list irrelevant to begin with....they both came up in hiphop scene in New York as teenagers.....they weren't UK rappers

[@IllusionistBeatsOfficial]

​​@@stevieb274 Just because DOOM and Slick Rick were born in London doesn't mean they didn't have US based Hip Hop careers though. That's like saying J Cole is a German rapper. Neither of them are 'British rappers' as much as I wish we could claim them. They have American accents, speak from an American cultural position, make an American form of hip hop as opposed to UK Hip hop, collaborate almost exclusively with US artists, etc. Excluding them on that basis is completely illogical and just straight up inaccurate

MF Doom is from the UK that’s why, they explained only North American artist.

[@lovelaj0149]

@Jordan Moses bro, it's slept on because he made 6 disappointing albums in a row before that on and people stopped paying attention. If you have to listen to every one of his 20 albums just hoping there's a good one every 8 albums, that's not a good hit rate. It's a very frustrating waste of time.

Dre and Snoop were written for by The DOC and Kanye and Drake have been written by the entire industry. But if you make this a "Most Influential List" then they are on.

Honestly, I think Kendrick is number 1 he can make any type of hip hop song and rap about pretty much anything on any beat. He has songs for the ladies, sad songs, aggressive songs, protest songs, motivational songs, gym songs, party songs, experimental songs, funny songs, radio songs, thats at least decent and then he has the plaques, the awards, sold out tours, number 1s, billions of streams, and breaks records.

He performs on the charts better, has more plaques, breaks more records, tours arenas around the world, has more awards etc. Kendrick did all this while dropping less music than Nas even just within the ten years of kendricks career span. I'll admit tho hip hop wasn't as popular as it is now but still Nas longevity and the amount of music he's put out within his long career should be way more impactful than kendricks career.

Snoop in the Top 10 is almost the same as Lauryn/3 Stacks being on there with 1 album. DoggyStyle is the only album of Snoop that’s relevant to talk about keep that same energy.

[@ArmLegLegArmHead47]

Snoop got Doggystyle, The Chronic on which he played a huuuuge part and even in the 2000s Snoop had many songs that are still relevant today, all the Pharrell/Neptunes joints are fire even BUSH from 2014.

[@prograham2222]

@@ArmLegLegArmHead47 I agree! Snoop has The Chronic and Doggystyle…. And a bunch of dope singles throughout the years in his catalog. I still don’t think he should be in the top 10, but anywhere from 11-20 I’m good with that.

[@ArmLegLegArmHead47]

@@prograham2222 yeah he wouldn't be in my Top 10 either but surely somewhere between 11-15

[@jaymac8421]

What, Snoop got the DoggFather album, that’s classic, na just joking, that shit sucked 🤣

[@jf1573]

It's *almost* the same *except* that Snoop was always primarily known for rapping and not for singing while Lauryn Hill is primarily known for RnB.

[@yean_jean5317]

Guys no way y'all are disrespecting push like this holy shit. Push is at least top 20

If you have had even 1 instance where you used ghostwriters at any level, you should be excluded from any top rappers list ever, because you're not spitting your own bars, you're spittin someone else's.

[@slylancey]

Personally, I know he's not as influential or remembered, but Xzibit would be in the 40-50 range in terms of "pure rapper" ino
