Spin Off: Tallying up How Many Categories "Goat" rappers have Strengths in (Pac, Nas, Jay, Big, Em)

[really]

Yesterday I made a poll asking what factor is MOST IMPORTANT to you when determining if someone is GOAT or not: Here


I think what's even more interesting, is calculating how many categories certain goats Dominate in or a category that would be attributed as a "strength" for them: The categories:


Lyrical Content / Complexity
Flow / Delivery / Presentation
Album Sales
Classic Albums
*GROUNDBREAKING* Classic Albums
Consistency / Career longevity / Ability to Stay relevant
Overall Impact on the Hip Hop Genre / Culture and Pushing it into Pop Culture / Main Stream
Being a Forefather
Most Years of Domination / Being the "Hottest Rapper in the Game"
Entire Catalog



I said the other day: Pac and Biggie are 1A / 1B Goat, pick your order.....


And Jay, Nas, Wayne, Eminem round out the top 6...... Now look at how many categories each of them have as strengths: (The number beside their name is the total amount of points / categories they have)



Tupac - 7 - Flow / Delivery / Presentation, Album Sales, Classic Albums, *GROUNDBREAKING* Classic Albums, Overall Impact on the Hip Hop Genre / Culture and Pushing it into Pop Culture / Main Stream, Most Years of Domination / Being the "Hottest Rapper in the Game", Entire Catalog


Biggie - 7 - Lyrical Content / Complexity (half a point here), Flow / Delivery / Presentation, Album Sales, *GROUNDBREAKING* Classic Albums (2 points here... ONLY PERSON with 2 undisputed ground breaking albums, only reason he has no "regular classics"), Overall Impact on the Hip Hop Genre / Culture and Pushing it into Pop Culture / Main Stream, Most Years of Domination / Being the "Hottest Rapper in the Game", Entire Catalog (half a point here)


Nas - 6.5 - Lyrical Content / Complexity, Classic Albums, *GROUNDBREAKING* Classic Albums, Consistency / Career longevity / Ability to Stay relevant, Being a Forefather (half a point here), Most Years of Domination / Being the "Hottest Rapper in the Game", Entire Catalog


Jay - 6 - Flow / Delivery / Presentation, Album Sales, Classic Albums, Consistency / Career longevity / Ability to Stay relevant, Overall Impact on the Hip Hop Genre / Culture and Pushing it into Pop Culture / Main Stream, Entire Catalog


Eminem - 5.5 - Lyrical Content / Complexity, Flow / Delivery / Presentation, Album Sales, Overall Impact on the Hip Hop Genre / Culture and Pushing it into Pop Culture / Main Stream, Most Years of Domination / Being the "Hottest Rapper in the Game", Entire Catalog (half a point here)


Lil Wayne - 5.5 - Flow / Delivery / Presentation, Album Sales, Consistency / Career longevity / Ability to Stay relevant (half point here), Overall Impact on the Hip Hop Genre / Culture and Pushing it into Pop Culture / Main Stream, Most Years of Domination / Being the "Hottest Rapper in the Game", Entire Catalog





The 1 category Jay / Nas / Wayne have: Career longevity / Ability to stay relevant, Pac / Big DON'T HAVE.... Because of course they bout got killed Early.....


But even with that category basically being N/A for them, they STILL have more points than everybody.....




BOTTOM LINE / SUMMARY:


Biggie / Pac = UNDISPUTED Hip Hop Goats..... and it's not up for discussion.

If you don't give a fukk about SALES, NAS is the hiphop Goat Hands Down, and it's not up For discussion....


So depending on how you look at shyt.... It's "Pac, Nas and Big.... Ain't no rest.... East west north south flossed out...."



There is no Room for Jay-Z no matter what criteria you use.... Sorry, that's just what it is.

You spent a lot of time on this and still came up with the wrong answer.

 

[atlbound]

you forgot to factor Beyonce and half a billion dollars

at Jay-Z not getting the domination/being the hottest rapper title, but Nas getting it

This shyt was made just to try to prove that people who feel Jay is the GOAT are wrong.

Hate it when people over analyze hip hop tbh.

[TripleAgent]

Eminem should get the "point" for longevity/relevance. He still sells more than everybody 15 years later, in a terrible climate for sales, white people or not, and his albums are treated as events. And still raps better than 90% of the game easy. You may even go as far as giving something for "groundbreaking album" for MMLP, he went LEGIT diamond and shook the game up. Just sayin'

 

[Droopy]

i like this idea, poorly executed though

 

[mikishere]

Nas - 6.5 - Lyrical Content / Complexity, Classic Albums, *GROUNDBREAKING* Classic Albums, Consistency / Career longevity / Ability to Stay relevant, Being a Forefather (half a point here), Most Years of Domination / Being the "Hottest Rapper in the Game", Entire Catalog

 

[Diunx]

Who the fukk puts Wayne in a goat list?

 

[VanVanCity]

 

[Mr. Negative]

Lyrics

ease of delivery (how easily can the casual fan understand their shyt)

Storytelling

Charisma.

Work Ethic

Influence.


all the rest of that shyt is absolutely irrelevant.

 

[Wacky D]

lol @ eminem & lil wayne being thrusted into the conversation of goats.

 

[Uncle Kingpin]

Biggie and Pac are the only GOAT nominees
