“Jay Z? FOR WHAT? RUINING SONGS?”
@PelotonDonJaun commented:
“Embarrassing list. Jay-Z never even had his own style or flow. Kendrick isn’t known worldwide. Nas was hot for a 4-year span. Pac is the goat. Nobody on this list is on his level. Nobody’s got statues built but Pac. Nobody’s teaching classes at universities on this list but Pac.”
@Augi_T said:
“Nah, Jay-Z at 1 ain’t it. Where’s Kanye? Also, 2Pac > Kendrick Lamar easily.”
@ReportsbyWario added:
“Kendrick over Eminem is ridiculous, sorry.”
