Why isn't Ghostface not universally seen as top 5?

[Mortal1]

We eat fish, toss salads and make rap ballads
The biochemical slang lord'll throw the Arabs
In the dope fiend, vocal chords switch laser beams
My triple sevens broke the slot machines out in Queens
Grey Poupon is Revlon rap, smack pawns, swing like batons
Most my nikkas smoke like Hillshire Farms

Only someone who didn't speak english couldn't understand this

Fish

Good damn question. Masterful storyteller

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

Because then you'd have to put RZA in 4th since he's better than Ghostface

 

[Left.A1]

He’s in my top 5

To make this thread you'd have to make a thread about why
Jay, Nas, Big, Pac and [insert any other consistent top 5 rapper like Cube, 3K, Eminem, Scarface, Wayne, Rakim etc.] are universally seen as top 5.

There should be tough competition to get inside the top 5, and rap is not like pop, it's not always correlated with sales and hits alone. Therefore, top 5s will differ.

most people are casuals. Ghostface is not a household name
