I think "greatest" and "best" often gets conflated in these discussions. With that said, I think Pusha T is top 50 greatest (in the high 40s), but it's not IMPOSSIBLE to leave him off a top 50 greatest list like you said, depending on you criteria.Jim’s coming from an impact POV, on some “these are the 50 greatest rappers that mattered the most” type shyt…and I can easily make that list without even considering Push …there’s a lot of “nice” rappers out there…Ransom is nice, T-Rock from HCP is nice…50 greatest though?
You can tell the story of Hip Hop fairly easily, without mentioning Pusha T
