In tribute to Eminem's new song "rap god"... This thread is about you listing how your pyramid plays out if you had to create one....
The catch is you HAVE to follow the structure below.. Which is: List at most 5 rap Gods.... At most 10 Icons... At most 20 Legends etc... With the pyramid going: Gods >> Icons >> Legends >> 1st Ballot Hall of Fame >> 2nd Ballot
Your pyramid should factor in everything: classics, influence, memorable songs, impact, albums sold, how they changed hiphop, longevity etc... You should include rappers and producers / execs (ie, puffy, master p, birdman) etc... Not just birdmans catelogue, but the impact he had on the culture as an Exec... Who NOT to list: Russell Simmons, Lyhor Cohen, Jimmy Iovene etc... you get the point...
This isn't a "goat" list for your "favorite" rapper... this is about who the world will remember 30 years from now for what they did.
So lets have it.. Who in your mind is the rap gods?
Rap Gods - 5
Rap Icons - 10
Rap Legends - 15
1st Ballot Hall of Fame - 25
2nd Ballot Hall of Fame / Honorable Mentions - list up to 40 (can list less than 40 if you want)
