Personal feelings aside, Top 5 should consist of Tupac, Jay Z, Nas, Rakim and Ice Cube. The order IDK but those names for sure.

You’ll have an argument if you put 1 by the side of 2.
Nope.

Wayne is way ahead of many rappers based on the criteria Billboard using

CRITERIA
From there, the teams took into account the following criteria, not in any particular order: body of work/achievements (charted singles/albums, gold/platinum certifications), cultural impact/influence (how the artist’s work fostered the genre’s evolution), longevity (years at the mic), lyrics (storytelling skills) and flow (vocal prowess)

I feel like these are the ones that will fill the Top 20:

Andre 3000
Missy Elliott
Nicki Minaj
Big Daddy Kane
Drake
Rakim
Eminem
Snoop Dogg
Nelly
Ice Cube
Lil' Wayne
Kanye West
Kendrick Lamar
Slick Rick
J. Cole
LL Cool J
Jay Z
Biggie
2Pac
Nas

^^^ not my personal list, just a prediction if what the Top 20 will look like. Scarface and Ja Rule are wild cards. Scarface would be a lock for Top 10 on many lists, but this is Billboard. I could see them putting Ja in the Top 20 given the criteria.
