…18 and under rapper all times?!?! Coli talks about he ain’t relevant, but he is in the history books.




LL number 1 by a large margin, we all get that…Radio still bangs.




You could Sneak special Ed at number 2 since he gets that 80s pioneer boost. :yeshrug:




But BG is no worse than 3. 95-98 BG was going at no limit and put cash money in a spot for Juvenile to blow them up mainstream and had his own hits.

LL
Rakim (He was 18 in '86)
Shyheim
Nas (18 on Live at the BBQ)
Special Ed
Kool G rap (It's a demo came out in '86)


I can't put BG in front of any of them. The only reason I didn't include Illegal or Da Youngstas is because they had ghostwriters. Let's not forget back in the 80s rappers were straight out of high school. I hope this helps everyone to have more respect for the legends that you know how old they were on their debuts. And there are others I missed, but those are just off the top of my head
