OpenAI Eagle. It sounds just like him. They even got his pauses perfect. When he gets more energetic talking about AI, more incredulous. It's defending itself by being meta. Our worst fears realized. It can do reflective indie commentary. This is satire. According to analysis.
One more thing, as a copy editor, the "writing" on this list made me want to claw my eyes out. They said that A$AP Rocky gained notoriety in the early 2010s for his 2011 mixtape. BRUH, if that's the case, just say he gained notoriety from his 2011 mixtape. Like, I'm so frustrated right now. I need my blood pressure medication now. 😂
I think you hit the nail on the head at the start: what sucks about lists like these is that it doesn’t ever feel like a human wrote them, even when they did. I’m way more interested in hearing someone in this comment section toss out a random top 50 and justify it because I know they A) have an actual interest in Rap and B) will be honest like an actual person would. Thats the interesting part about lists like these, not what they say about rap or rappers, but what they tell you about the people who made them and what they value. This think tank shit where they get a bunch of people and throw in AI… it’s just being made so people can post about it on Twitter. So people will retweet it. No discussion or actual thoughts being laid out, just a bunch of Wikipedia bullshit. Who the hell wants this
They're just leveraging a relatively prestigious name to milk what they can out of a dying medium. That means paying as few people as little as possible to crank out bloated, (hopefully) relevant slop with as many ads crammed in and as much data collected as possible. They, like most mass media, are grave robbing the dead world of our fathers
M.I.A albums are genuinely great and really innovative but the appeal mostly isnt coming from her rapping with the exception of a few songs. You actually both interpolated frank black songs on your first albums lol (okay pixies for her)
"british-american" as a description for DOOM only really makes sense if you're gonna talk about key to the kuffs and his later collaborative efforts. makes no sense to refer to him as anything other than a new york rapper. the whole article definitely feels chatgpt'd.
yeah british-american is a wikipedia take, like he was born there but who thinks his parents saw themselves as british? kind of like when aphex twin is referred to as irish because of his parents when he clearly grew up a cornwall local
15. Stephanie from lazytown From mainstream children's show star to genre-defining underground rap artist, Stephanie crafted the template for transitioning from appealing to an audience of children to wooing hip hop fans old and young with her intelligent wordplay and precise flows. She may be known from lazytown, but lyrically she's no slouch! Her remix with Lil Jon has played a pivotal role in shaping the hip hop scene.
Been enjoying these list videos, but the microphone is peaking quite painfully a lot of the time. Could you please take a look at the gain/comp settings in OBS, and maybe add a limiter? Thanks!
This publications purposefully makes these list controversial so that they can get more clicks. What does Forbes knows about hip hop?? Y'all think they sat in the round table and actually had an discussion about this?? Hell naw!! They probably asked interns to name their picks and made someone rank them as controversial as possible or the whole thing is A I. generated. it's just a gimmick nowadays. Next month some cereal company will drop their greatest of all time rapper list. Everyone leech off from hip hop culture these days and look down about it in the long run.
MIA was awesome in the underground in the 2000s but it was really closer to electronic music of the time. I think she has a great early catalogue and i think 45 is a fair placement, but above pusha T feels wrong. she’s become weird recently but her early work deserves to be celebrated. it’s important to a lot of weirdos.
Alright. We need your full rankings of all the pie varietals. The people demand it! I think the scariest thing about this whole ordeal may, in fact, be how poorly written the article is. Hasn't Chat-GPT scanned and digested the likes of The Bell Jar and Ulysses? Why is it drafting things at a sixth grade level? Not to mention, apparently Forbes doesn't pay people to proofread the articles this AI churns out? Or is it an ouroboros situation, and AI is also the editor these days? Blah. At least the algorithm gave MC Lyte some shine.
I agree this was some AI generated trash. pushing the boudries of what defines a genera running on the global hamster reel. nobody needs to read these big publications. your insight is always spot on and worth the time. Thank you.
I feel like you're trying to shovel rain. I appreciate your work but this is a fight that's going to be just running up an ever steeper hill. Sisyphus comes to mind.
Young Thug has done plenty of genre bending stuff- Beautiful Thugger Girls blended trap and country and influenced Lil Nas X to make Old Town Road. He also collabed with Elton John and Jamie xx and his beat selection is extremely eclectic.
i will say, i'd prob have young thug, mf doom, nas, chief keef all in my top 10. tough to say the order off top. SO possible to have whiplash in someone's actual taste *shrug*
People always overreact to these lists and tear them apart. There’s no easy way to rank 50 rappers so I’m usually pretty forgiving. This list is actually horrible though. The AI aspect is deplorable, but even at face value, it’s one of the worst written lists I’ve ever seen in my life.
I get your overall disdain for the list and the placements, but your reaction to Roc Marciano confused me. Do you not consider him a lyricist or he’s just not your taste? Because if we’re talking about raping, I think he’s up there with the best technical rappers and BTW, my favorite is DOOM. It feels stupid having a difference of opinion about a list as ridiculous as this but here I am making a comment.
No Forte on the Car List? Rakim and Big Daddy Kane at 21 and 22 makes the whole fucking thing irrelevant. In my eyes that's easily 2 top ten of all time. I could argue them both top 5 no question. Rakim is the GOAT. Kane is most responsible for putting Jay-Z on: Show & Prove. That was the first time I had heard of Jay-Z.
There are no criteria, so the ranking doesn't matter. We don't know what they're basing it off of. So, by that logic, anybody could be anywhere. So you can't really argue it. By doing so, you're just basing it off whatever criteria you have in your head, not whatever they set out for the list, which is nonexistent
This is 100% AI generated, every single word, and they did not even give it a once-over to make it sound human-written. How the hell did this happen.

DOOM is my favorite rapper im gonna start saying he's my favorite UK rapper now as a meme
This MFer said “i don’t even eat beef” and put burger number 1 😂
I almost choked on my sandwich at your reaction to #45. I think they’re also going hard with the rage bait on this list
"A Useless Arrangement of Words" is now my new unfinished album name now!

im so sorry
did you see them say that Jay Z turned to music to find a way out of poverty LMAO

The intro was either written by AI or a high school student trying to meet an essay word limit.
EDIT: The captions read that way as well.
in this essay I will

The car name list got me
Sleeping on the Tuna, but I understand 😢

Thank you Forbes for this new form of entertainment. I never expected to see absurdism in legacy media!

ur sandwich list pissed me off but other than that good video
Damn I keep missing the morning show, I will not today
Man, imagine if he did this every other morning. Very pleasant start to the day. I do appreciate him spacing them out. Less is more.

glad that forbes can redefine what it means to use the english language
I’ll say one thing about this list: it had me laughing for sure lol
"That is a useless arrangement of words" 🤣💀

No jibaritos in the sandwich list has me questioning Mike's Chicago cred
Lil Kim and Kendrick is such a wild two people to pick in your header. this is a weird ass list
Yo shout out to vienetta. My nana loved those and i’ll tell you: it’s bomb.
i never ate a reuben but my assumption is that it is the best sandwich
ok open mike buress
i don't even know what this means
I feel like you're trying to shovel rain. I appreciate your work but this is a fight that's going to be just running up an ever steeper hill. Sisyphus comes to mind.
But I'm here to hear and shovel with you. Thugger does not touch my top 50. Kweli is there. Cardi B isnt. MF DOOM is in my top ten.
Jay Z in first place from the BUSSINESS magazine...that's really the only thoughts i have lol
Tiramisu was robbed
I will rob tiramisu every time
Young Thug has done plenty of genre bending stuff- Beautiful Thugger Girls blended trap and country and influenced Lil Nas X to make Old Town Road. He also collabed with Elton John and Jamie xx and his beat selection is extremely eclectic.
also Chief Keef does have a lot of clever one liners
And they are all downright wack
I can't believe you didn't include tortas....
i will say, i'd prob have young thug, mf doom, nas, chief keef all in my top 10. tough to say the order off top. SO possible to have whiplash in someone's actual taste *shrug*
holy shit this list is cooked lmao. MIA wtf.
I think MIA belongs in the convo her albums are groundbreaking and always conceptually rlly interesting
People always overreact to these lists and tear them apart. There’s no easy way to rank 50 rappers so I’m usually pretty forgiving.
This list is actually horrible though. The AI aspect is deplorable, but even at face value, it’s one of the worst written lists I’ve ever seen in my life.
shoutout to sandwiches indeed
gotta try a jibarito

no to french dip????!?!?!?!?

43:25 😆
JayZ over Nas?! Have these people never heard of Ether 😂
This was like the least controversial ranking on this list. They put J COLE above Tupac, Nas and Big
💯💯💯
Whole damn thing is just directly copy-pasted from ChatGPT, what a joke
it's very bad
Yaris!
Vapid journalism. Who is the audience for these lists?
Relentless stupid list.
Reubens are good 😅
even on a fake list, putting Talib Kweli at no.50 deserves prison
vienneta was good trust me
Qua o but no takeoff Chief leer but no Lil Durk MIA ???????😂😂😂😂😂DRAKE????? But NO DRAKE GHOST WRITERS GTFO
french dip is the shit you're trippin
you can keep that wet bread friend
Banh mi not in top 10...this is AI generated!
Shocking.
