Billboard and Vibe have just released their top 50 rappers of all time in honor of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary.
The rankings have been determined by the artist’s body of work/achievements, cultural impact/influence, longevity (years at the mic), lyrics (storytelling skills), and flow (vocal prowess).
While some of the names on the list come as no surprise, others might be debatable for some. Check out the top 20 list below
1. Â JAY-ZÂ
2. Kendrick Lamar
3. Nas
4. Tupac Shakur
5. Eminem
6. The Notorious B.I.G.
7. Lil Wayne
