Nah Kendrick deserves to be high on the list. Dude rakes in billions of listens on his songs and he raps from the heart. That's impressive af considering so much music nowadays is made to get views, not for quality.
Eminem fills every box he should be number 1 most talented, amazing story telling highest selling artist of all time built the bridge for white rap work eithic, the movie 8 mile and he was the most viewed rapper of 2022 that just shows how much he is still listened too he is number 2 on Spotify for most monthly listeners even though he is out of his prime.

Seeing the comments let's me know people just can't accept that an artist can be great and not be old yet like kendrick has done so much in little time that he easily deserves top 2 or 3 like even the guy in the vid how is kendrick not above nas he's been more consistent and has 2 top 5 hip-hop albums of All-Time while having 17 grammys and being a very great lyricist not to mention he stays at the top in a generation that doesn't value true lyrical greatness but kendrick is the head of his generation I'll argue he should be #1
But Kendrick not even the best at nun like lyrics or rhyme or cadence or flow so no he doesn’t and he hasn’t done anything to effect the culture in anyway no one is following his music like that no one coming out trynna be a Kendrick
Kendrick is straight mid brother. Honestly i dont get his appeal By the way im a mixed race aboriginal australian man. So its not a race thing while i dont like him or whatever i just cant stand his voice and delivery. His got good flow but his songs have very boring topics to me mostly. Maybe once in a while he has something good but no way in damn hell i ever search for kendrick lamar idont know anyone who is i have served 2.5yrs prison time. grew up in struggle addicted to meth and heroin violence around. Not shootings like america but violence still is violence. My top rappers old school are eminem, biggie, pac, Necro, Tech n9ne, DMX, Big L, Brotha lynch, D12 ( the whole group) , 50 cent, Gunit My top new rappers are: King von, Juice wrld, Xxxtentacion, Lil peep, Suicideboys, Lil durk, Drake, 21 savage Most new rappers i know they sing by the way
How is it way too early you people do realize he's 35 with 17 grammys multiple other awards and 5 great albums consistently its not to early its actually overdue
I don't see why people say this, now Kendrick has more studio albums than Tupac had Before his death. The posthumous releases were good, but weren't on the same level of quality as his work while alive, so they have less merit to call him the goat. If it's too soon for Kendrick, then 2pac shouldn't be considered either. Also, I think both are top 5, so I'm not trying to hate on 2pac.
Black thought is on there but I agree Big Pun should be top 10. In all actuality he would prob destroy all of the people in this list in a fresstyle battle
1. Tupac 2. Nas 3. Biggie 4/5. Eminem Lil Wayne 6. Eazy E 7/8. Kendrick/Ice Cube 9. Jay Z 10. J Cole Personal favourite 1. Eminem 2. Tupac 3. Eazy E 4. XXXTentacion 5. Kr$na❤
@@ok-xt4te why is he not top 10? Give me an essay thats not influenced by your personal bias and ill tell you why kendrick is better than your favorite rappers
Don’t get me wrong Kendrick is a great rapper but he is one of the most overrated rappers I’ve ever seen. He has great music and is probably top 20 all time but he gets way to much #1 hype when he really shouldn’t
@Ken Splurgin I don't think it's because she's a woman I think because he doesn't like her. You might be right as well. Maybe if it was Lauryn Hill he wouldn't have said anything.

@@EIite. if he wrote or produced any of his music then maybe, but he doesn’t and there is zero beyond surface level substance to any of his music, not to mention the fact that he’s a pop star not a rapper
My biggest problem with the list is that the industry created Jay Z to be the next biggest or best rapper because of the east vs west stuff but he never really was Tupac and Lil Wayne influenced the rap game more than any other rappers ever before or after them Tupac being the most soulful and socially conscious of the two and Wayne being the more creative and braggadocious of the two plus far as trends you have the Tupac era fashion and you have the Wayne era of fashion which still have impact on this day and time
A few disagreements I have. I don't think Biggie can really be considered properly. He only has two albums so it's hard to rank him with how little we have of him. Nas in terms of rapping, yeah is high. Generally though I think people overhype the crap out of Nas. He has like 17 albums and people only talk about the same 3. Kendrick being two is too early. Every artist slowly gets worse, it'd be like judging Eminem before Encore or Kanye before Jesus is King (although even Kanye's bad albums aren't that bad right now). Give Kendrick time and then you can rate him properly
My list 1. Tupac 2. Biggie 3. Eminem 4. Nas 5. Jay z No space but ice cube and j.Cole should prolly be on here. (My personal list. Prolly controversial but idrgaf)
Super over rated. Can’t hold a candle to mf doom, Lupe fiasco, king los, or Andre 3000. These are the guys Em studies. He’s good but this list is for mainstream BW only has nothing to do with the real top
1 Eminem no explanation 2 Kendrick Lamar has made outstanding albums 3 Jay z no explanation 4 Tupac is one of the most influential rappers 5 Biggie same reason as Tupac I just like pac more 6 nas in my opinion his album game is fire but he has not had like as big as a influence like these others rappers 7 Kanye west He's received 24 Grammy awards, outnumbering all other rap artists except for Jay-Z 8 lil Wayne Carter and influential that’s something 9 50 cent bro basically with Eminem made rap come back 10 Drake Drake was praised for his “ability to swerve in and out of genres and mix of sugary crooning with spiky bars” and recognized for his “impenetrable streak of commercial
@@nathanadams7595 J.Cole IS above Kendrick Lamar and idc if it’s your opinion. Kendrick is getting overhyped cause of that dumbass beef with Drake. Kendrick himself is a good rapper but his goofy fans like you are hella annoying
If this is the top 10 than would say 1. Eminem 2. Nas 3. Tupac. 4.Lil Wayne 5. Biggie 6. Kendrick 7. JAY-z 8. Snoop Dogg 9. Drake 10. Nicki Minaj This is just my opinion but the most on this list are great in what they do.

I’m a Kendrick Stan and I think it’s wayyy too soon to put him as number 2
Its not I have him 1or2
What does he have to do? He has some of the greatest albums of all time in his discography, I don’t understand the “too soon” argument when he’s already 35 and has done so much for rap
@@lilmonke2190you just have to accept that Kendrick (while an amazing Artist) will never have the cultural or global icon status of 2Pac, Eminem or a Jay Z, Em and Jay Z were icons by 35, Kdot is still considered ,"new" at 35
@@no-vk2qefacts
@@no-vk2qe Hard disagree, DAMN is literally the first hip hop album to win a Pulitzer Prize, K-dot literally making history with that album. Not to mention that good kid mad city has some of the greatest tracks in hip hop of all time and that’s just one album
Kanye not here but Drake and Nicki are? And Jay-Z isn’t 1
If Jay ain’t 1 then he better be 2
EMINEM should me number 1
Facts 👏🏾 him and pac 💯
Not having Kanye and Cole is Ludacris
I see what you did there 😏
Cole been trash he did the 100 yard dash after kendrick joined the beef
No Kanye but they have Snoop dog. Wtf are they thinking with that?
Kanye is a top 10 hiphop artist but as a rapper he really doesn’t compare in the slightest
Kanye could be #1 fr his music is goated he’s still releasing number 1 album nas can’t do that snoop def can’t
@@all-caps3927 he's greatest just in general forget rap lol
Snoop is miles better than Kanye
I know they don’t even have ja rule
Is still to soon for Kendrick be above Eminem, Nas, Biggie and Pac.
Love Kendrick.but come on this is ridiculous
This list is so disrespectful cos first of all any List Kendrick and Drake is on, J.cole MUST be on that list and any list Jay-Z, Drake & Eminem is on Kanye MUST be on that list.
I haven't even mentioned Andre 3000, Dre, MF DOOM, Cube that were literally the ppl that influenced most of the ppl on that list to start rapping in the first place
Replace Nicki with Andre 3000. And reshuffle the order and it’s a decent list
I’d say replace Nicki with 3K and Drake with Kanye and it’s solid
Andre supposed to be in the top 5 though
@@userJFK he said reshuffle dummy
@@userJFK hence why he said reshuffle order
Nicki isn’t in the top 50. There are no females in the top 50 ever. 🤷🏽♂️
Oh, the same goes for Drake. And Snoop is barely top 30-40.
If it was Lauryn Hill instead of Nicki, I wouldn’t complain
She or Missy I wouldn't have mind it
Nicki outraps them both.
Nicki better than them, be serious.
@@galliano100 no she doesn’t bro
@@canned6496 give me 1 bar of Missy Elliott which is better than Nicki's. If it wasn't for Timbaland's beats Missy would stick to being a songwriter. And if we're comparing album quality and sales, Nicki is miles ahead of Missy
Kendrick wayyyyy to high let’s be fuckin Fr guys the recency bias is insane
Seeing the comments let's me know people just can't accept that an artist can be great and not be old yet like kendrick has done so much in little time that he easily deserves top 2 or 3 like even the guy in the vid how is kendrick not above nas he's been more consistent and has 2 top 5 hip-hop albums of All-Time while having 17 grammys and being a very great lyricist not to mention he stays at the top in a generation that doesn't value true lyrical greatness but kendrick is the head of his generation I'll argue he should be #1
💯
But Kendrick not even the best at nun like lyrics or rhyme or cadence or flow so no he doesn’t and he hasn’t done anything to effect the culture in anyway no one is following his music like that no one coming out trynna be a Kendrick
Kendrick is straight mid brother. Honestly i dont get his appeal
By the way im a mixed race aboriginal australian man. So its not a race thing while i dont like him or whatever i just cant stand his voice and delivery. His got good flow but his songs have very boring topics to me mostly. Maybe once in a while he has something good but no way in damn hell i ever search for kendrick lamar idont know anyone who is i have served 2.5yrs prison time. grew up in struggle addicted to meth and heroin violence around. Not shootings like america but violence still is violence.
My top rappers old school are eminem, biggie, pac, Necro, Tech n9ne, DMX, Big L, Brotha lynch, D12 ( the whole group) , 50 cent, Gunit
My top new rappers are: King von, Juice wrld, Xxxtentacion, Lil peep, Suicideboys, Lil durk, Drake, 21 savage
Most new rappers i know they sing by the way
@@ExprisonkoorigamingKendrick is not straight mid, dont talk about "mid" when your top rappers include X and Lil' Peep
The list of rappers is good it’s just the order that’s awful
But there is no ja rule
NO MF DOOM IS FUCKING INSANE
No Kanye or 3 stacks, deserves the death sentence, and DRAKE IS NOT TOP 10
Kendrick meat ridding is crazy. It's way too early to keep him in top 5
How is it way too early you people do realize he's 35 with 17 grammys multiple other awards and 5 great albums consistently its not to early its actually overdue
What more does he have to do? He has 2 top 10 albums of all time, no other rapper can say that except maybe Eminem or Dre
He’s been doing it for over a decade now, how much longer? Lmao
7 albums all 8/10 or better is not too early hes in contention for the #1 spot
I don't see why people say this, now Kendrick has more studio albums than Tupac had Before his death. The posthumous releases were good, but weren't on the same level of quality as his work while alive, so they have less merit to call him the goat. If it's too soon for Kendrick, then 2pac shouldn't be considered either. Also, I think both are top 5, so I'm not trying to hate on 2pac.
Where’s DOOM, mos def, Andre 3k, black thought, or even big pun?
Fr. MF DOOM not being on the list is a crime
Black thought is on there but I agree Big Pun should be top 10. In all actuality he would prob destroy all of the people in this list in a fresstyle battle
@@tomsevcik1792It ain't about the best it's the greatest. Pun shouldn't be on there.
Dude said MF Doom 😂
Nobody talked about him until he died
Doesn't matter who cares what billboard says anyway, it's what the real hip hop fans thinks fr
kendrick is not even over wayne 🙄
This list is infuriating.
I know why no ja rule
Keep up the good work! 🐍🐍🐍
Why Kendrick hell nah
Cause he arguably has two top 10 albums of all time?
For Me It Goes:
1.Eminem
2.B.I.G
3.2Pac
4.Nas
5.Ice Cube
6.Snoop Dogg
7.Rakim
8.Andre 3000
9.Eazy E

1. Tupac
2. Nas
3. Biggie
4/5. Eminem Lil Wayne

9. Jay Z
10. J Cole
Personal favourite
1. Eminem
2. Tupac
3. Eazy E

5. Kr$na❤
The list isn’t bad it’s the order that’s crazy
Drake and Nikki over Kanye,Rakim,Big L, Andre 3000, J cole, Ice cube, Eazy-E and Mf Doom is diabolical
Putting Kendrick at number 2 is wild.
not really
As long as his next album is as good as his latest one then I agree.
@@bigloc1779 not even close to top 10 but easily in the top 5 most overrated artist lists
@@ok-xt4te why is he not top 10? Give me an essay thats not influenced by your personal bias and ill tell you why kendrick is better than your favorite rappers
Don’t get me wrong Kendrick is a great rapper but he is one of the most overrated rappers I’ve ever seen. He has great music and is probably top 20 all time but he gets way to much #1 hype when he really shouldn’t

☑️
to have nicki there and not j cole is just blatantly ridiculous
They even put Drake on there
No neither should be there
J. Cole is always mentioned with Kendrick as the best of this past era.
You’re crazy cole is nowhere near nicki you said that cuz she’s a woman that girl can rap her ass off
@Ken Splurgin I don't think it's because she's a woman I think because he doesn't like her. You might be right as well. Maybe if it was Lauryn Hill he wouldn't have said anything.
Biggie deserves to be top 3 when it comes to MC and pure bads
ANYBODY OVER WAYNE IS CRAZY BRO HAVE PPL FORGOT THIS MANS IMPACT
BRO OVER 20 mixtapes with some of those being the most iconic mixtapes ever! no ceilings, sorry for the wait, dedications
Albums all the carters
I am not a human being 1-2
Rebirth bro the man went rock and went platinum 😤😐😐😐 your favorite artist could never
Dropped funeral and Carter 6 on the way
Yeah he didn’t sell as much as an em or J but that’s only bc he was the only mf 15-20 years behind both of them and still took over the whole shit from 08-2012 man stop I could go further but I won’t lol
I actually think it's a pretty solid list. You could move around order for personal preference but they're all excellent MCs
I'd personally put JCole in over Snoop.
J Cole is top 60 lol, you smoke crack, Snoop Dogg is a legend he is top 20
@@ducatarina Snoop is a legend culturally, but as far as actually spitting bars though? Have you ever heard Snoop rapping and been like O shit! bars! O shiid he going off!?
Certainly not like I have for Mr. Jermaine Cole.
@@TheEdwardAlchemist Its not just about bars, his impact over everything, J Cole never made nothing more classic than Doggystyle, and he can´t make new schooll rappers don´t have that talent
@@ducatarina 2014 Forest Hills Drive is JCole's agreed-upon classic, and it gets heavy &consistent play, still charting 10yrs out. it's not *more* classic than Doggystyle, but it also doesn't have the additional 20 years that Doggystyle does.
@@TheEdwardAlchemist J Cole´s album is a classic for this generation thats it, you can´t put his albums not even in the top 100 best rap albums, he is a better rapper than kendrick, but kendrick has more impact in this generation thats why is Kendrick>J Cole for example, in the history of hip hop cmon you just can´t say that J Cole over Snoop.... they can´t make a classic like murder was the case, whats my name, gin n juice, 2 of amerikaz most wanted, nuthin but a g thang, snoop smoke kendrick and j cole alone
Nikki deserves ten. Based on the criteria of sales, achievements, impact she belongs there. I’m sliding kanye into snoops spot who’s incredibly overrated here and dmx into drakes. The disrespect on dmx is my most egregious placement here.
based on sales, achievements and impact drake defintely belongs on the list though..
@@leefswgoh7558 he’s not a rapper though, he’s an artist who can rap. A lot of people want him off list fully, I’d have him in top 20. I mean you can’t tell me future is any more lyrical
There is no female rapper in the top 50.
@@Nighhhts this is just. A dumb take. I’m not sure why u are so proud to deliver it
@@michaeln3044
Because it’s true.
It’s respectable but the nicki take is pretty bad. Also drake in the top 10 is questionable but I could see it. But no Kanye, 3K or Lauryn Hill ?? Also the forgot about Dre ???
Top 10 not in order :
Biggie, Rakim, Tupac, MF DOOM,Jay Z, Wayne, Nas ,Eminem, Andre ,Kendrick
Having Drake, Nicki, and Snoop over J Cole, Kanye, and Ice Cube is crazy
Drake > J.fold
@@EIite. if he wrote or produced any of his music then maybe, but he doesn’t and there is zero beyond surface level substance to any of his music, not to mention the fact that he’s a pop star not a rapper
@@landonweaver1040 bro is acting like j.fold is on Kanye level of producing 😭🙏
@@EIite. he’s not, but he’s a high level lyricist
@@landonweaver1040 ok but he’s not battle tested and backed out of the beef 😂👌🙏
Thank you man the meatriding on K-dot is crazy as hell, he need more years in the game to be considered for that position.
Saying because he has more time means nothing at all
2 is a bit much, but I think maybe a 3 or 4 would be fair
ok we'll give it to him when hes on his deathbed
Nas is better than Jay Z he already out rapped him in their beef.
My biggest problem with the list is that the industry created Jay Z to be the next biggest or best rapper because of the east vs west stuff but he never really was Tupac and Lil Wayne influenced the rap game more than any other rappers ever before or after them Tupac being the most soulful and socially conscious of the two and Wayne being the more creative and braggadocious of the two plus far as trends you have the Tupac era fashion and you have the Wayne era of fashion which still have impact on this day and time
Bro swap Kendrick and Em and then we’re good, and I’m being generous leaving Jay at 1, En should be there
nas better than jay z kendrick and em but em over kendrick is fucking crazy😭
Em over Kendrick?
Em hasn’t been better than Kendrick since Kendrick came out.
@@bigloc1779 eminem is a trash artist
Yes Em should be there
@@Nighhhts Em is better, even Kendrick accepts it, he has sold way more albums than Kendrick and Eminem's impact on hip hop is way more than Kendrick
The fact they didn't include MF DOOM even though the vast majority of his career was spent in the US is fucking bonkers
He’s not even too 100 tbh only weird kids and hiphop nerds know him
@@Kelogotti Only casuals don't know him.
Keep listening to Drake homie, stay in your lane
@@Kelogottinah bro, weird kids are the ones who don't expand their taste past mainstream artists.
No Ye is crazy
Facts
A few disagreements I have. I don't think Biggie can really be considered properly. He only has two albums so it's hard to rank him with how little we have of him.
Nas in terms of rapping, yeah is high. Generally though I think people overhype the crap out of Nas. He has like 17 albums and people only talk about the same 3.
Kendrick being two is too early. Every artist slowly gets worse, it'd be like judging Eminem before Encore or Kanye before Jesus is King (although even Kanye's bad albums aren't that bad right now). Give Kendrick time and then you can rate him properly
YOU AINT GOT NO YEEZY?!
Eminem my goat cant change my mind
Mine too em and pac my 🐐s
No Ye and Andre 3000??

2. Tupac
3. Nas
4. Kendrick
5. Biggie
no lol

I would put Kendrick above and but overall it’s a solid list
Eminem 1 lol

According to the criteria eminem can double tick all them boxes
Super over rated. Can’t hold a candle to mf doom, Lupe fiasco, king los, or Andre 3000. These are the guys Em studies. He’s good but this list is for mainstream BW only has nothing to do with the real top

5 Biggie same reason as Tupac I just like pac more
6 nas in my opinion his album game is fire but he has not had like as big as a influence like these others rappers
7 Kanye west He's received 24 Grammy awards, outnumbering all other rap artists except for Jay-Z
8 lil Wayne Carter and influential that’s something
9 50 cent bro basically with Eminem made rap come back
10 Drake Drake was praised for his “ability to swerve in and out of genres and mix of sugary crooning with spiky bars” and recognized for his “impenetrable streak of commercial
