Rakim
KRS One

Biggie
Big L
Big Daddy Kane
Kool G rap
Eazy E
Scarface
Eminem
Ice Cube
Snoop
LL Cool J
Run DMC
Kool Moe Dee
Melle Mel
Kool Keith
Black Thought
Common


All are more legendary than Jay Z

Jay beats 90% of the names off this list on name recognition alone. How the hell is Big L more legendary than Jay? Eazy-E didn't even pen his own lyrics, so he can't be a GOAT.

Jay is one of my favorites of all time, but responses in this thread are what pisses me off when it comes to talking about him. People act like he HAS to be in your top 5. There was a time when a LOT of people who posted put Common above Jay and weren't laughed at. It wasn't always seen that way. Revisionist history

theres nothing wrong with making the argument for common at all, i was just at him easily beating jay

personally jay is in my top 10 never my top 5, never will be

No he didn't cube left NWA before nikkaz4life so how could cube write eazys rhymes you noob cac

 

[Mess World]

Cube only wrote like 4 songs for eazy

Because he knew they would hits or good verses

Eazy wrote his own shyt most of the time on his debut and str8 outta Compton
