These lists are always so different depending on the person. When you get past 10 it isn’t even worth it to debate. Everyone is using different scales and factors.

I would never even attempt to do a top 50 greatest rappers of all time. Top 50 favorite rappers is doable but greatest would be a headache.

 

[iamdef]

Imma make an official list for myself. Been meaning to do it for the longest

 

[Hahahaha]

Do it, I did it and it was fun. It ain’t easy.

You gotta have certain guidelines. My list wasn’t just who was the most skilled or sold the most. It was based on everything. Talent, classic albums, replay value and do I still play it in my 30s.

My list has Juvenile ahead of Common, I know Common rap better but I rather hear Juvenile.

Russ being the best player in the league is more arguable than people make it seem. He might be my favorite player just because I never thought we’d see a player average a triple double, but I’m not rolling with this take.

But it isn’t as laughable as a lot of people say.

*****

It’s extremely laughable. He’s so flawed as a basketball player. So selfish. So inneficent. Doesn’t play D to his ability. Plays like a myplayer. Doesn’t move without the ball. Doesn’t pass unless it’s an assist opportunity. His APG numbers come with the Highest TO rate in nba history...coupled with the highest usage ever. Contest less perimeter shots as a POINT GUARD than DJ & Rudy G...because he stays in the lane hunting for rebounds to pad his stats. Outplayed by Ricky Rubio, A Rookie Donovan Mitchell. Won a total of 3 playoff games since KD left. Hasn’t been out the 1st round. Can’t lead a team to 50 wins. Shoots 38% from the field in the playoffs post KD.

Need I continue? Russ is great. He’s closer to the 10-15th best player in the league...than he is to the 5th-8th.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I love Russ but he ain't close to being the best player in the league. Shooting as horrible from the field and 3 as he does eliminates him from top 5.

Steph
Dame
Kyrie


Are better than him at PG.

And if his shooting don't approve it will get ugly in Houston real quick.

Wallo: I never really thought about it. Was that weed Meth was smoking

Dev: I thought them ****** was smoking crack

The funny part is how he went back to it in the middle of a conversation, like he was really going over the lyrics in his head.

I broke out laughing a few times during that episode.

Depreciating *******

Would you accept a payment plan

 

[Magic33]

For anyone who may have missed it.

Interview with Bimmy.. Details his history at Def Jam, Being supreme's right hand man, NYC Crack Era, Being Waka's uncle etc etc. very entertaining interview.

He also makes mention of trying to do a future festival in A.C which sounds like it would be dope if put together right.

I think they scrubbed some of the Irv stuff also.

Rev Run

Sweet Tee is a rat

They was in a whole different conversation and bruh came out of nowhere with that nonsense

 

[Magic33]

Top 50 list just expose how little people know about hip hop

and people put who they like over who is a better rapper

It needs to be who are my favorite rappers

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Is that in order or just your top 30 overall?

In order based on who I listen to/favorite rappers.

 

[Mark Antony]

That top 50 list is pure bait and probably no one's real list.

 

[iamdef]

15 wasn't so bad so might go up to 25 but here's my top 15 list in order

 

[CJ616]

Joe bringing back memories with this intro

Also, I 100 percent don't care to read anybodys top rapper list in 2019. I can't believe that this whole convo has spawned over some random Twitter list that popped up.

 

[iamdef]

The Top 5 conversation has been revolving for years tho
