Top 10 Iconic Rappers

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

you right in that jay has mad noteriety, but he dont got more noteriety than eminem, pac, biggie, and snoop...

in the eyes of the general public, jay-z has more notoriety than biggie BY FAR. its not even close.

biggie shouldn't even be on the list. with outsiders, his name is moreso just a synonym for 2pac & puffy. all he did was rap.

 

[Lewis Black]

Lil Kim made your list, but no Nas

lol yeah sounds crazy but people know lil kim. They might not heard a song, but a random white lady would of probably heard of her.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

nas not even the biggest name from the firm.

 

[scuba]

nas not even the biggest name from the firm.

Dr Dre?

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

[Lewis Black]

foxy brown name rings more outsider bells than nas.

Naw... in the 90s yeah, but no one heard a peep outta foxy brown in a decade, foxy dont have any type of name anymore... lil kim is orders of magnitude more known than foxy brown is these days

 

[mortuus est]

no krs?

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Naw... in the 90s yeah, but no one heard a peep outta foxy brown in a decade, foxy dont have any type of name anymore... lil kim is orders of magnitude more known than foxy brown is these days

and what has Nas done to be on a non-listeners radar in the 21st century?

and we're not comparing foxy to kim. we're comparing foxy to nas.

 

[Bob-omb]

I'd say Snoop and Pac are the top two.

 

[Majestic Pape]

Iconic by/for who?

Iconic for rap fans? Or iconic for CACs who don't give a fukk about the music/culture at all? Or just whose known by general white folk?

 

[Poitier]

Make a top 10 list and list 15 nikkas brehs

 

[scuba]

and what has Nas done to be on a non-listeners radar in the 21st century?

and we're not comparing foxy to kim. we're comparing foxy to nas.

I am saying that Foxy literally has made no noise at all since 1999, meanwhile Nas who is not popular has at least put out an album that charted within the last decade. I absolutely agree that Nas is near zero as far as being known to non hip hop heads, but Foxy is literally zero, zip, zilch, i cannot imagine someone who does not listen to hip hop would know who foxy brown is at all... 1% is much bigger than 0%

 

[DontEemTry]

My dude buckmatic

No diss to nas, its just that dudes introverted personality/no charisma etc is what holds him back. Imagine if he was not handsome dude would be mos def status

He arguably the goat doe.

I be sayin this all the time to the homies. Picture Nas without the hazelnut eyes and he's damn near Talib Kweli status.

Just forgettable.
