[Hum Alistair]

He also listed his top 5 all time:

Jay Z
Nas
Kendrick
Wayne
Lupe

Honorable Mention: Eminem

 

[Metal Face]

d'evils and the world is yours is a weird comparison

why not d'evils or NYSOM

or feelin it or the world is yours

 

[T-K-G]

Interesting top 5 all time.

He has:

Jay Z
Nas
Kendrick
Wayne
Lupe

Honorable Mention: Eminem

that's not a crazy top 5 at all it's actually pretty rounded concerning what each rapper is good at

hov: braggadocio raps and business gems
nas: hood stories
wayne: punchline god
lupe: concept/entendre god
kendrick: poetry that completely cuts through all the other fluff in rap

mine is almost the same except i'd have DOOM in there, Nas and Kendrick would be on the bubble to get moved out.

weird top 5's are when you got multiple people who do the same exact thing, shows a blatant bias for a certain style

Honorable Mention: Eminem

He used to say Em was better than Jäy and it’s the reason his career stalled for 10 years until he got himself together.

Oh I agree, I said it was an interesting one, not a crazy one

I've got Hov, Nas and Kendrick in mine as well. But Andre 3000 and Ghostface instead of Wayne/Lupe

He still often claims Eminem is a better mcee than Jay, but reason why he has Jay instead of Eminem in top 5 is probably due to influence, discography, etc

I thought it was weird to see him switch up, thanks for clarifying

I don't know, I'm just assuming, but I remember him praising jay as the goat many times, for being influential and all that shyt
