My wife just went in about DMX being better than Kendrick I couldn’t even get a word in. She said take that nikka off and put DMX. lol.
I was about to ask chatgpt to give me the top 10 rappers, and then force it to put DMX as number one and tell me why, lol

Edit: Just asked Chatgpt to give me a black person ranking and then a general ranking

📝 Notes:​


  • Black community rankings tend to value message, authenticity, and street respect more.
  • Mainstream/global lists weigh streaming, brand influence, and pop appeal more.
  • Andre 3000 and Scarface are often much higher in Black rankings than in general ones.
  • Drake and Eminem are usually rated higher by the general public than in culture-first lists.
