+Mr Steve yeah but after lethal injection he changed I was all about some cube I bought everything he was on I was a real fan but after he stopped being conscious bi stopped caring as much I feel like he dumbed his music down
TheEfficial E yo same as big l. I feel like there are epic rappers from that era that don't get the credit they deserve at all. I find it crazy that rappers now a days don't need to know or care for what hip hop was then. I think if my generation and others following spent some time learning about these rappers, their craft would be so much better than it is now, and, legends like ice cube, rakim, guru etc would be getting the props they deserve
People cannot Accept the Reality that there is no BEST RAPPER, It is all based on your Opinion. No one gives a fuck about your Top 5 or Top 10 list either.
Money Matters there's a bunch of people who claim Eminem is the best Rapper alive all because he's white. A lot of those people don't even listen to Hip-Hop at all but have the audacity to say that. Doesn't mean that it's truth though. It's all about Opinion. It's not something that's factual, it's all about numbers to people. Just like because someone sells a lot of copies of records doesn't mean they're actually great, it could mean people are brainwashed by the bullshit. Facts, people say Rap is hard to understand and has no substance yet majority of Pop music is EXACTLY the same or worse, makes no damn sense. Yet people like it because it's liked by many people. Think about that.
Ryan Marshall "greatest" has to do with number of accomplishments, "best" only takes into account straight skill and contemporary respect. Jay-Z could potentially be the "greatest" but of course he's not more skilled than someone like mf doom or immortal technique. Those guys are murderous on the mic, but they dont have national or worldwide accomplishments to back it up..they just have the nastiest bars out.
Ryan Marshall you keep saying it differs from person to person but the only thing you can think of is SALES...so i guess it doesnt differ that much since you just said "what could you possibly mean?" If i wasnt talking about sales....you know what an accomplishment or achievement is you dumb fuck. Endorsements, collaborations, grammys and other awards or just respect from contemporaries is an accomplishment..if you make music because eminem inspired you to make music and eminem says "yea i think that man is making good music and leaving a nice impression on hip hop" thats a fuckin accomplishment...nothing to do with sales
I don't know much about this guy, but after watching this interview and the other interview about Beyonce stealing his shit, I sort of respect this guy for giving his HONEST, non-PC opinions.
Em in his time was a king. Wayne in his time was a king. Jay in his time was a king. Shit. Kanye in his time has ran rap. His impact level is about as big as those artists i named.
Tupac the king , biggie the prince. All these rappers are their children I get mad when their put in a lift it shud be Tupac ,biggie and then 1,2,3,4,5.
Uhh i think you watched so many hiphop related people that ignorance became the standard for you. How OG maco expresses his views isnt really special. Its the way its supposed to be.
Fairplay, the guy does express his opinion very well. He's right about Jay, but to simply think em is an anarchy rapper is criminal. It's about stories, humour and a lot of it is about inspiring others. The dude needs to listen to em more
Yooooo... Thought I was going to dislike this but dude is telling the TRUTH from the same kid who made the CLASSIC RECORD., U Guessed It(who would've thought it SMDH)
I agree. Tired of people having the same generic top 5's: Pac, Biggie, Jay, Em, etc. It's like people can't make their own list, but they just put those people because so many other people call them the "Kings". Be your own person. Pick your own 5. I never see any interesting top 5's.
DreadfulControversy Big Pun, Big L, Nas, Tupac and Biggie. Not by order but yea thats my top 5. I know Pac and Biggie are in everyone's top 5 but im a real Hip Hop head and have my reasons for putting them in my top 5.
BrunswickBorn732 Pac and Biggie isn't in my Top 5. Pac would be in my top 10, but I could never get into Biggie like that. My Top 5: Bis Pun Nas Kiss Andre 3000 Honorable mention: Kanye, Prodigy, Lupe
Eminem is my favorite rapper ever.. But he can't be the king and or greatest, he's released too many trash albums for that title… never really fucked with Jay's music much but if you want to talk about music, cultural impact and influence, he has the better case… he is the golden standard of what you should want to be as a rapper… but currently, neither one of them are on top as far as music is concerned, no one thinks they are unless you're an unrealistic Stan...but currently, the person who's on top of hip hop is Drake, and it's obvious unless you're biased or one of those hiphop "elitist"
murakulus I'm guessing you think that Drake is on top because of sales? Because he ain't got anything else going for him...Birdman, Vanilla Ice etc went Multi Platinum, does that mean they were on top of Hip Hop too?
murakulus It doesn't prove shit to you, you know I'm right that numbers don't mean shit. Quantity doesn't equal quality...Drake ain't running shit or the king of shit until he has a classic album. Drake doesn't get respect.
murakulus so you are comparing Jay-z's body of body work to Drake's ..really ? first Drake hasnt pass lil wayne yet .he might if he keeps going ... Jay-z was competing against legends (after they died ) we all know that a dead artist's popularity increases yes im talking 2pac ... you did say currently ..right now with tidal it put jay-z on top of music .... jay-z king ..lil wayne army general ...drake soldier
If anyone is the king of Hip Hop it's Nas but who cares about that...Nas, Rakim, Em, Pun, G Rap, Jay, Pac, Big, L, Slick Rick, Lauryn Hill, etc are all fuckin legends and in that goat conversation
I gotta go check out OG Maco music now...somebody who knows his music please recommend a good project of his. U guessed it was garbage but from this interview I can tell he's a well rounded dude.
Nick Lee my fav song of his is Broke or Rich 2 (prod. by Cardo), I haven't liked a whole project of his but I still check them out and pick out songs I like
Bro you this are my favorite mixtapes in order,but you may have a different opinion! 1.Og Maco Ep (Bumps in the whip) 2.15 Ep (More versatile and different) 3.Live Life 1 (Bumps in the whip) 4.Live Life 2 (Least favorite only 3 songs I liked,Priceless,Broke or Rich 2,Sheesh 2)
yo how the fuck is maco this god damn real? I was expecting some real ignorant shit but nah he's bringing interesting perspective after interesting perspective, thanks for putting me on vlad.
Timo Kirchler yo I dig his opinion and perspective. I ain't ever herd his music, but now I'm gonna check it out....I guess this interview worked. But hey, I guess I'm just guessing bruvvvv.
+MrGladBEASTftw 2pac was a poet... So yes technically he wasn't considered a lyricist however, listen to 2pac "Fucking wit the wrong nigga" and you'll see lyricism... He had it in him and could definitely be lyrical if he wanted... Trust..
King Capital Lupes albums made people start protesting. Nobody in Hip Hop didn't do that. But to me there isn't no king of hip hop, because Jay Z can do what Eminem does and Eminem cant do what Nas does, list goes on and on.
King Capital JAy Z was great all the way up to The Blueprint 3 (2009)..Yall go listen to the song Show Me what you got (2006),and the albums American Gangster(2007) and the Blueprint 3 (2009) one more time.
I think, it’s because he didn’t say anything disrespectful and wasn’t trashing anyone. It’s cool to have an opinion, that is what makes debate interesting.
OG Maco is smart as shit. In one video he talks about how much his music fucking sucks, he started making that shit as a complete joke making fun of newer rap and people just ate it up.
Will Crelia what are you talking about single syllables. They would use multiple. Tupac-Hit em up- 5 shots couldn't drop me I took it and smiled, now you wear Versace you copied my style. Biggie- Hypnotize- Hot sicker than yo average papa, twist cabbage off instinct, niggas don't think shit stink. There are multiple rhyming syllables all geniusly constructed
The thing about Em is, most people only talk as if his songs are about Pills, his wife and his Mom etc.. But the real truth is, if you actually go through all of his albums, especially from his 3rd album (Eminem Show) forward.. he has talked about so many different subjects. If you dig through and listen to each song. He has songs where you think he is talking about a women, but in the end you find out he is talking to Hip-Hop itself. (25 to life) Go listen to Rabbit Run- he writes from the perspective of a song writer, anybody who writes music can relate to this song.. Those type of songs never get talked about. Only the stuff that made him famous, Crazy insane type shit. But there is a long list of songs like that, that only Em could make work..And it’s poetic the way he puts it all together. That’s what separates Em and everybody else .
The king of rap has to be loved by the people, respected by corporations, lyrically nice, can create club bangers and politically conscious music, has worldwide appeal, classic albums, and never changed his style to conform to trends. The king doesn't have to say he's king, but when he says something people listen and take his opinion to heart as if he runs shit. ' Hip Hop is Dead" for example. The King is Nas.
Emmanuel Teshome eminem will rap cricles around all of them , how the fuck you put canibus there he got killed by dizaster he is wack as fuck , pun is good but is far away from em level same for L , nas we can talk but in words play em will kill his ass he even said that they asked him why you didn't do a track with eminem he i don't want to get murder on my songs so he knows whats up
There is no king of hip hop,it's all subjective and you have your favourites,but you can't and shouldn't define them as a king.King based on what ? Sales....Blah !
I respect his opinion. But Big L was the original "Eminem" Real talk. he was ONE of the first to rap that real, real, wild lyrics talking about killing his moms, killing "jesus", satanic rap, talking about shot out to people with AIDS and on Crack. Big L was the shock value rapper for real
Barry Moneylow Thank you for saying that man Eminem is not the first want to say the most shocking shit and you’re right it’s actually Big L was the one Who say a lot of disturbing offensive and most Horrified tales Of rap in history but the sad part people don’t know that but I do and I know you have too Damn I sure Miss big l for real He was the most important thing and rap at that time It’s a damn shame people don’t rap like that no more When the real Rap was coming back I doubt it peace out
KRS ONE is the KING of Hip Hop 4 Real! Reason being is because he's authentic and has stayed so throughout his career, no matter what era. He also raps about social & political issues going on in the world. His subject matter is soo diverse, and he comes with knowledge. He's been in the game since the mid 80's and still is doing his thing today! Has down KRS ONE is the Greatest Of All Time! Real Talk!
People always misuse the word "Hip-Hop". Hip-Hop is a collective of four arts (Rapping, Dancing, Graffiti and Djing). Jay-z and Eminem only do one, so King of hip-hop no. You mean King of Rap. Plus, King of Rap is Either Nas or Rakim
Jay-Z is a leech. He's never had a crossover hit. All his biggest songs are featuring artists that are bigger than himself. (Rhianna, Beyonce, Kanye, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell) Em has countless crossover hits and most are solo
I don't really know this dude, but he made some of the best points I have ever heard a rapper make. I started watching it thinking he was just a hater but he gave clear definition and understanding of his point of views. I also think Jay-Z is one of the most overrated rappers of all time is Biggie Smalls never died Jay-Z would have a mace like rap career
My man right speaking straight facts ...we as black people are just close minded, and ignorant at times we stuck in this lil box and anything that dont have nothing to do with that box is stupid and we ain't tryna hear it ..if ain't about drugs,money,black, rap,love in hip hop, BET, Tyler Perry movies,empire, power ,Scandal, being Marry Jane, basketball, football then we dont wanna hear it...
jay was on some social struggle shit since reasonable doubt..thats what made him stand out. if you look at his lyrics he dont just talk about what he was doin but the broad socio political circumstances and psychology behind it..he was on that way before kanye
WellOff Beats wtf are you talking about...so what if illmatic came out in 1994? this kid was either a sperm, fetus, or wearing diapers at that time...OG? ha
Lawrence wallace jr. ok, well anyway I think anyone commenting on ranking jay or eminem should've first of all been at least a teenager during their primes (late 90's)...because it's not just MC skills - being the "king of hip hop" is about power and influence...which is kinda hard to describe to someone afterwards
Nah, he just made one ignorant ass song and it took off and now it will be forever tied to him. It's like how going to jail follows you and fucks up your image.
Eminem is a great all around complete emcee. But there only two people that are on his level to me as far as being a complete artist and that's Nas and rakim
Khalil Young rakim only released like 2 good albums. he hasn't been relevant since the early-mid '90's, how can you say that lol? Not trying to start a huge ass argument i'm just curious. However, Nas, I completely agree with.
He talks about Jay-Z being a flexer and flexing, but every Migos song is them flexing on people. EVERY MIGOS SONG. Migos is a part of his label. So? ........
Ice Cube don't get enough credit for his part in Hip Hop
My favourite too. He absolutely killed it on Amerikkkas most wanted and death certificate.
yeah man i dont fuck with nwa but cube is bad ass
ice cube raw footage so underatted
+Mr Steve yeah but after lethal injection he changed I was all about some cube I bought everything he was on I was a real fan but after he stopped being conscious bi stopped caring as much I feel like he dumbed his music down
TheEfficial E yo same as big l. I feel like there are epic rappers from that era that don't get the credit they deserve at all. I find it crazy that rappers now a days don't need to know or care for what hip hop was then. I think if my generation and others following spent some time learning about these rappers, their craft would be so much better than it is now, and, legends like ice cube, rakim, guru etc would be getting the props they deserve
I will never judge the intelligence of an artist based on their music ever again.... This dude is smart & in tune with the world... Salute
og mac got good music to check out a mixtape he did a couple of weeks ago named "i made this shit before u guessed it"
You should have known that this judging is stupid tho
He jus reaching the demographics which is a smart business move
daniel jayson good fuck, you judged 1 fucking song that he said was trash, smh.
s21411 Right.
People cannot Accept the Reality that there is no BEST RAPPER, It is all based on your Opinion. No one gives a fuck about your Top 5 or Top 10 list either.
there is a best rapper that is tupac.. just like the best basketball player is jordan
Money Matters All Opinions that will be Argued forever.
Well majority says it so thats that
Money Matters there's a bunch of people who claim Eminem is the best Rapper alive all because he's white. A lot of those people don't even listen to Hip-Hop at all but have the audacity to say that. Doesn't mean that it's truth though. It's all about Opinion. It's not something that's factual, it's all about numbers to people.

Think about that.
doesn't matter, majority opinion decides what caters to what
Vlad bases the best rapper off whoever sells the mot albums lol
Son Goku no he just tries not to offend anyone gtfo with your hating ass

Greatest does not mean number of accomplishments.
***** Also depends on your definition of "accomplishment"

Lololol I respect Maco after this. The "bitch u guessed it" guy turns out to actually be an insightful dude.
I don't know much about this guy, but after watching this interview and the other interview about Beyonce stealing his shit, I sort of respect this guy for giving his HONEST, non-PC opinions.
Mirror your comment!
Agreed
MizzReyRey Whether or not she stole it is irrelevant. The guy has a sound logic. I appreciate the brother for that.
Respect? This dude is ignorant. Seriously lost
Marc Regal Did you watch the interview before you left that comment
Eminem and Jay-Z ain't got shit on Nas.
True very true
Nah jay
***** still nas got with illmatic one of the greatest hip hop albums ever made
zjDallas Nah nas better
Camw here to read this. Thanks fam
Eminem my not be the king of rap but he is a legend
I can agree with that
Hes one if many kings in rap.. Like maco said.. There can never be soley one king of rap.. Now you can run an era? Yes
Em in his time was a king.
Wayne in his time was a king.
Jay in his time was a king.
Shit. Kanye in his time has ran rap. His impact level is about as big as those artists i named.
No shit
Tupac the king , biggie the prince. All these rappers are their children I get mad when their put in a lift it shud be Tupac ,biggie and then 1,2,3,4,5.
You gotta respect this guy for the beautiful way he expressed his opinion, Good points.
Uhh i think you watched so many hiphop related people that ignorance became the standard for you. How OG maco expresses his views isnt really special. Its the way its supposed to be.
Blatant flesh eating king here
Fairplay, the guy does express his opinion very well. He's right about Jay, but to simply think em is an anarchy rapper is criminal. It's about stories, humour and a lot of it is about inspiring others. The dude needs to listen to em more
This guy is way smarter than he looks.
how is he smart?
how is he dumb?
JneveLosJ when did i say he was dumb?
This exchange lmao
Loool
Yooooo... Thought I was going to dislike this but dude is telling the TRUTH from the same kid who made the CLASSIC RECORD., U Guessed It(who would've thought it SMDH)
If u hear more of his work he has bars people sleep on maco
funDzAmEntal He actually has bars, if you only heard one song, that's on you lol.
I think he had said in an interview that it wasn't a serious song and that people are dumb for liking it. Something like that. Lol.
He made some great points, definitely didn't expect that. I was wrong
me too
world would be a better place if everybody said what u just said a little more often shiiiet son
I agree. Tired of people having the same generic top 5's: Pac, Biggie, Jay, Em, etc. It's like people can't make their own list, but they just put those people because so many other people call them the "Kings". Be your own person. Pick your own 5. I never see any interesting top 5's.
DreadfulControversy Big Pun, Big L, Nas, Tupac and Biggie. Not by order but yea thats my top 5. I know Pac and Biggie are in everyone's top 5 but im a real Hip Hop head and have my reasons for putting them in my top 5.
I agree 100% most people just follow what's popular, instead of developing their own musical taste.
BrunswickBorn732
Pac and Biggie isn't in my Top 5. Pac would be in my top 10, but I could never get into Biggie like that. My Top 5:
Bis
Pun
Nas
Kiss
Andre 3000
Honorable mention: Kanye, Prodigy, Lupe
DreadfulControversy Thats whats awesome about Hip Hop. Its all an opinion and personal preference, Its not like sports where numbers matter.
DreadfulControversy 1. Rakim
2. Nas
3. Big L
4. MF DOOM
5. Black Thought
Honorable mentions: El-P, Ice Cube, or any of the top tier Wu Tang members.
Wow, didn't know OG Maco was a wise dude. #respect
i know🙏🙏💯💯
Hence the OG
Dude this guy is unbiased, honest af and accepting of other races. Not many people follow this kinda approach. Keep it real man.
Sisqo here knows what he's talking about lol
Dabrion Mobley bol he do look like an angry sisqo
Ha!
More like Urkel & Sisqo
Santae Savage BRUH! 💀💀💀
Dabrion Mobley exactly,vlad stuck on sales,stfu vlad
Eminem is my favorite rapper ever.. But he can't be the king and or greatest, he's released too many trash albums for that title… never really fucked with Jay's music much but if you want to talk about music, cultural impact and influence, he has the better case… he is the golden standard of what you should want to be as a rapper… but currently, neither one of them are on top as far as music is concerned, no one thinks they are unless you're an unrealistic Stan...but currently, the person who's on top of hip hop is Drake, and it's obvious unless you're biased or one of those hiphop "elitist"
couldnt have said it better. though alot of eminem's albums are corny as fvck, rather than trash
murakulus I'm guessing you think that Drake is on top because of sales? Because he ain't got anything else going for him...Birdman, Vanilla Ice etc went Multi Platinum, does that mean they were on top of Hip Hop too?
Josh Harrison the fact that you compared Drake to Vanilla Ice and Birdman lets me know all I need to know.. And proves my final point
murakulus It doesn't prove shit to you, you know I'm right that numbers don't mean shit. Quantity doesn't equal quality...Drake ain't running shit or the king of shit until he has a classic album. Drake doesn't get respect.
murakulus so you are comparing Jay-z's body of body work to Drake's ..really ? first Drake hasnt pass lil wayne yet .he might if he keeps going ... Jay-z was competing against legends (after they died ) we all know that a dead artist's popularity increases yes im talking 2pac ... you did say currently ..right now with tidal it put jay-z on top of music .... jay-z king ..lil wayne army general ...drake soldier
lil wayne is the greatest won't be until he's dead for people to appreciate his catalog
Hell yeah 💯
It took for the Thug Wayne beef for me to go back and realize how hard Wayne went in
Gary English I think that's the case for a lot of people
***** Lol no
Terius Smith we all have our own opinion
If anyone is the king of Hip Hop it's Nas but who cares about that...Nas, Rakim, Em, Pun, G Rap, Jay, Pac, Big, L, Slick Rick, Lauryn Hill, etc are all fuckin legends and in that goat conversation
+Adam Williams 100% true
That's interesting u put lauryn hill. I never thought of it, but she might be the greatest rapper(or at least one of the greatest).
Xaaactly
Nas & Big L. thank you.
+JESSE BARAJAS Lauryn hill was a great story teller and flowed effortlessly like a poet so she should've NEVER been slept on.
I gotta go check out OG Maco music now...somebody who knows his music please recommend a good project of his. U guessed it was garbage but from this interview I can tell he's a well rounded dude.
Nick Lee my fav song of his is Broke or Rich 2 (prod. by Cardo), I haven't liked a whole project of his but I still check them out and pick out songs I like
Download the og maco ep on datpiff some of the best shit i heard in a minute
Bro you this are my favorite mixtapes in order,but you may have a different opinion!
1.Og Maco Ep (Bumps in the whip)
2.15 Ep (More versatile and different)
3.Live Life 1 (Bumps in the whip)
4.Live Life 2 (Least favorite only 3 songs I liked,Priceless,Broke or Rich 2,Sheesh 2)
Nick Lee Breathe Ep
The Weeknd Justin Valentine Alias Jackson Fritz Manguerra Thanks ya! Ima check this stuff out ASAP and see what he's talking bout!
yo how the fuck is maco this god damn real? I was expecting some real ignorant shit but nah he's bringing interesting perspective after interesting perspective, thanks for putting me on vlad.
Never heard his music. but good interview.
its workout music. its very energetic
how can you comment on him without know what he does?
bitch u guessin
Timo Kirchler yo I dig his opinion and perspective. I ain't ever herd his music, but now I'm gonna check it out....I guess this interview worked. But hey, I guess I'm just guessing bruvvvv.
its from a song of his
i don't actually care
I don't why Jay Z is even in the GOAT conversation. Not even close.
Junaid Shafi you forgot American gangster and blueprint
Junaid Shafi not bad at all. His 4th best album imo
I don't think Jay Z is the GOAT either. But he definitely left his mark in rap music.
He the greatest self promoter ever. He dope a rapper to most tho unless you a backpacker or from the south.
bpsn555520 LUPE >>> JAY Z
"that don't get you on a Sprite commercial" ...1 year later,lil Yachty
lmaoooo XD
Drew.Games I was literally thinking that as he said it. He's 100 percent accurate.
Vulgarus lmao
nah I think he understood bc I did too
how sway
Top 5 G.O.A.T.'s: (Just my opinion)
1. Nas
2. 2Pac
3. Biggie
4. Eminem
5. Jay Z
+MrJJtheboss Lol! Why are you so salty? It was just my opinion.
Em is #1 and replace Big with DMX and your on point. Big barely has any songs.
Top 5 G.O.A.T.'s (IMO)
1.Nas
2.DMX
3.2pac
4.Wu-tang
5.NWA
End of story lmao
+MrGladBEASTftw 2pac was a poet... So yes technically he wasn't considered a lyricist however, listen to 2pac "Fucking wit the wrong nigga" and you'll see lyricism... He had it in him and could definitely be lyrical if he wanted... Trust..
I fw this list
OG Maco is a really intelligent guy based off these interviews
I put neither of them over Nas. Sales don't mean shit when we talking about a "king" of hip hop.
Lupe is the greatest Hip Hop artist ever.
King Capital he's good.. up there...but the crown has belonged to Jigga for a long time.
Since like 2003/2004, Jay-Z has not been great bro. Reasonable Doubt is in my top 10 albums of all time though!
King Capital Lupes albums made people start protesting.
Nobody in Hip Hop didn't do that.
But to me there isn't no king of hip hop, because Jay Z can do what Eminem does and Eminem cant do what Nas does, list goes on and on.
Sorry what do you mean by people started protesting? Clear that up for me?
King Capital JAy Z was great all the way up to The Blueprint 3 (2009)..Yall go listen to the song Show Me what you got (2006),and the albums American Gangster(2007) and the Blueprint 3 (2009) one more time.
Holy fuck, I was expecting to hear some uneducated hate. This dude spoke some real shit. Respect.
I'm surprised Stans didn't rap this video with dislikes.
I think, it’s because he didn’t say anything disrespectful and wasn’t trashing anyone. It’s cool to have an opinion, that is what makes debate interesting.
OG Maco is smart as shit. In one video he talks about how much his music fucking sucks, he started making that shit as a complete joke making fun of newer rap and people just ate it up.
SBeckerDTD Yeah but his music sucks
Justa Human not his real stuff. Look up "I made this shit before u guessed it"
SBeckerDTD Dude he sucks
2pac & Biggie. Hip-Hop kings in my opinion
eh they just got killed before they could become that ice cube "are we there yet" type of dude. or make a pop song with nsync (90s)
what about n.w.a
J Park Overrated single syllable rappers but they were innovators
2Pac and Biggie were completely different....
Why do people always compare them? They're nothing alike and 2pac is obviously not nearly as good.
Will Crelia what are you talking about single syllables. They would use multiple. Tupac-Hit em up- 5 shots couldn't drop me I took it and smiled, now you wear Versace you copied my style. Biggie- Hypnotize- Hot sicker than yo average papa, twist cabbage off instinct, niggas don't think shit stink. There are multiple rhyming syllables all geniusly constructed
some of the wackest artists have went platinum
Who are you talking about?
Ludicrous
Vanilla ice
chingy went 5x platinum
Murphy lee went platinum
The thing about Em is, most people only talk as if his songs are about Pills, his wife and his Mom etc..
But the real truth is, if you actually go through all of his albums, especially from his 3rd album (Eminem Show) forward.. he has talked about so many different subjects. If you dig through and listen to each song. He has songs where you think he is talking about a women, but in the end you find out he is talking to Hip-Hop itself. (25 to life)
Go listen to Rabbit Run- he writes from the perspective of a song writer, anybody who writes music can relate to this song.. Those type of songs never get talked about. Only the stuff that made him famous, Crazy insane type shit. But there is a long list of songs like that, that only Em could make work..And it’s poetic the way he puts it all together. That’s what separates Em and everybody else .
I'd say there's enough white rappers in the game to not have to call them "white rappers".
TheLastSliceOfPie i cant even name 6 white rappers lol
yelawolf, eminem, el-p, aesop rock, macklemore, slug, riff raff
TheLastSliceOfPie congratulations
TheLastSliceOfPie action bronson
So race doesn't need to be a thing in rap anymore
OG Maco more relevant on this channel than his music is.
This nigga is much more intellectual than I thought
The king of rap has to be loved by the people, respected by corporations, lyrically nice, can create club bangers and politically conscious music, has worldwide appeal, classic albums, and never changed his style to conform to trends. The king doesn't have to say he's king, but when he says something people listen and take his opinion to heart as if he runs shit. ' Hip Hop is Dead" for example.
The King is Nas.
Ok. OG Maco has completely gained my respect as a human being. Holy shit. You alright Mac. You alright
Chris Sanchez I came in ready to hate on this guy. I didn't.
I just played wit him on xbox one
NAS is the King honestly
I really didn't expect this man to say so much real shit, props to him
Lil B is the greatest lol
#BasedGod
It's so sad that in the comments section, people are busy dissing the guys appearance, instead of discussing the valid points that he makes.
+Mo Ibrahim thats how you know people dont like to hear the truth
1-Nas
2-Eminem
3-Big L
4-Pac
5-Biggie
6-Rakim
7-Jay-Z
8-Andre 3000
9-Immortal Technique
10-Big Pun
Man I happened on OG Maco and this man is so introspective and wise. I'd listen to his interviews every day.
This dude is really wise, despite his look and his vine song, lol. We need more of his interviews, for real.
"Why be a king, when you can be a god" -Eminem
He isn't even top 5
RealSteezyJay xd
Hakar Doski True. Lyrically, Nas, Big Pun, Big L, Kool G Rap and Canibus annihilate him.
Hakar Doski take your white ass outta boy trying to talk about hip hop fuck outta here
Emmanuel Teshome eminem will rap cricles around all of them , how the fuck you put canibus there he got killed by dizaster he is wack as fuck , pun is good but is far away from em level same for L , nas we can talk but in words play em will kill his ass he even said that they asked him why you didn't do a track with eminem he i don't want to get murder on my songs so he knows whats up
There is no king of hip hop,it's all subjective and you have your favourites,but you can't and shouldn't define them as a king.King based on what ? Sales....Blah !
OG Maco and Lord Jamar are Vald's best guests.
Don't know who this guy is, but I respect how deep he went on this.
I'm the biggest em fan but respect on everything you said
I respect his opinion. But Big L was the original "Eminem" Real talk. he was ONE of the first to rap that real, real, wild lyrics talking about killing his moms, killing "jesus", satanic rap, talking about shot out to people with AIDS and on Crack. Big L was the shock value rapper for real
Barry Moneylow Thank you for saying that man Eminem is not the first want to say the most shocking shit and you’re right it’s actually Big L was the one Who say a lot of disturbing offensive and most Horrified tales Of rap in history but the sad part people don’t know that but I do and I know you have too Damn I sure Miss big l for real He was the most important thing and rap at that time It’s a damn shame people don’t rap like that no more When the real Rap was coming back I doubt it peace out
OG Maco is real. I like the way he's going.
KRS ONE is the KING of Hip Hop 4 Real! Reason being is because he's authentic and has stayed so throughout his career, no matter what era. He also raps about social & political issues going on in the world. His subject matter is soo diverse, and he comes with knowledge. He's been in the game since the mid 80's and still is doing his thing today! Has down KRS ONE is the Greatest Of All Time! Real Talk!
Why be a King when you could be a God.
-Eminem
#nuffsaid
OG dropping gems.
Only if he can make music as smart as he is
+World B. Free listen to undefeated, seizure and riot. He can actually spit
I was thinking the same shit
Listen to his Breathe EP
I've never heard of him, but I really dig what he has to say. I'd love to chill with this dude
"that's probably way after I'm dead."
damn that's real.
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN WE ARE NOW LISTENING TO ADVICE FROM A NO NAME DUDE WITH BLONDE HAIR
People always misuse the word "Hip-Hop". Hip-Hop is a collective of four arts (Rapping, Dancing, Graffiti and Djing). Jay-z and Eminem only do one, so King of hip-hop no. You mean King of Rap.
Plus, King of Rap is Either Nas or Rakim
Thank you! Well said.
og maco is litterally the most well spoken rapper ever XD
I'm willing to bet that Eminem wouldn't call himself the King of Rap.
He labels himself the rap god instead lol
lol better to be a God than a king though right?
But he calt himself rap god......
***** Yeah, he really not. Rapping super duper fast aint really none impressive.
I love God, On god haha. it's how complex his shit is. you mad as heeeell booooy. you ain't gotta love Em, just know he toasts your favorite "rapper"
Jay-Z is a leech. He's never had a crossover hit. All his biggest songs are featuring artists that are bigger than himself. (Rhianna, Beyonce, Kanye, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell)
Em has countless crossover hits and most are solo
bruh
I dont know who this guy is at all but I agree with him 100%.
Big L will always be my personal favorite. He was ahead of Nas in my opinion but his career ended early
I don't really know this dude, but he made some of the best points I have ever heard a rapper make. I started watching it thinking he was just a hater but he gave clear definition and understanding of his point of views. I also think Jay-Z is one of the most overrated rappers of all time is Biggie Smalls never died Jay-Z would have a mace like rap career
People Thumb Down off the Title but, he makes some Valid Points!
My man right speaking straight facts ...we as black people are just close minded, and ignorant at times we stuck in this lil box and anything that dont have nothing to do with that box is stupid and we ain't tryna hear it ..if ain't about drugs,money,black, rap,love in hip hop, BET, Tyler Perry movies,empire, power ,Scandal, being Marry Jane, basketball, football then we dont wanna hear it...
Jay Z's biggest song "99 Problems" is about struggle.
But still agree with a lot of what Maco said.
this dude has some real shit to say
well spoken, but slightly arrogant one-hit wonder
I came too dislike, but he telling the truth.
Interviewer sounds like the guy that taught me anatomy/history from Kahn Academy 🤣
jay was on some social struggle shit since reasonable doubt..thats what made him stand out. if you look at his lyrics he dont just talk about what he was doin but the broad socio political circumstances and psychology behind it..he was on that way before kanye
Records sold is just good marketing. WORD.
I've gained a lot of respect for this man after this. Makes a lot of sense. Much more sense than I thought he had.
I never watched this video before because I dont know who this is but damn this dude is cool
Holy fucking shit, OG Maco is a smart dude. Maybe not my favorite rapper, but defo a clear minded dude.
You cannot have a "king of hip hop" or "best" rapper. Because that is all an opinionated claim.
OG what? this kid looks like he's 18...if you were born after illmatic came out, you are not an OG son
kuruptzZz illmatic came out in 94 my guy - u sound stupid
WellOff Beats wtf are you talking about...so what if illmatic came out in 1994? this kid was either a sperm, fetus, or wearing diapers at that time...OG? ha
Og dont mean original gangster. He explained the meaning of OG in a interview
Lawrence wallace jr. ok, well anyway I think anyone commenting on ranking jay or eminem should've first of all been at least a teenager during their primes (late 90's)...because it's not just MC skills - being the "king of hip hop" is about power and influence...which is kinda hard to describe to someone afterwards
Bill White "us"? who are you again? if you think 29 is old, then you must still sound like a girl
he seems smarter than he looks
Tru Why just cause he's black?? Fuck outta here
Nah, he just made one ignorant ass song and it took off and now it will be forever tied to him. It's like how going to jail follows you and fucks up your image.
KBTITAN-24 shut up.
Jimmy Blonde Shut up
Prayers for you bro 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Get well sooon , Stay strong 💪🏽💯💔
Real recognize real. I'm impressed this dude is really smart.
OG Maco got fuck up sick right after those statements just my opinions
I heard there was another side to this guy. After seeing this interview I believe it. He has my respect.
ive never used color to define someone
Eminem is a great all around complete emcee. But there only two people that are on his level to me as far as being a complete artist and that's Nas and rakim
Khalil Young JAY Z is on his level - so is TECH9ne - so is kendrick lamar - and many more
ramirezrico100 I'm talking about pure ability to rap. Punchlines free styling complexity and ability to tackle target and delivery etc..
Khalil Young rakim only released like 2 good albums. he hasn't been relevant since the early-mid '90's, how can you say that lol? Not trying to start a huge ass argument i'm just curious. However, Nas, I completely agree with.
biller97 he started the eminem style rapping
Khalil Young where's Lupe on your scale?.In some ways he's arguably better than Eminem
He's spitting some truth tho
He is the best example why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover
He talks about Jay-Z being a flexer and flexing, but every Migos song is them flexing on people. EVERY MIGOS SONG. Migos is a part of his label. So? ........
Difference between showing ppl they can't be like u and showing ppl u made it and hungry for more
I'm ridin' with DMX, E-40 & KRS-One till death. that's just me though
694Grider KRS-One YES👍
forsure but that doesnt mean you can't listen to new artists swell :-l
I was honestly expecting some dumb shit cause his music is so simplistic but nah. I agree with everything
OG MACO KING OF HIP-HOP
Top 5 :
1. Hov
2. Lil Wayne
3. Kool G Rap
