at least 2 classic albums and one classic mixtape

legendary feature artist with multiple renegades/iconic verses

held his own on songs with GOATS

was part of many tracks to pave the way rap's ascend to mainstream levels

was a pioneer for modern brand deals

built his own label and signed some respectable artists who made actual careers for themselves and dropped classics on their own

Now obviously dude had his controversial moments and got eviscerated by 50, but his legacy might be enough to slide at like 9th / 10th spot all time

He’s in my top 10. Dude is special. Catalogue, pen, charisma, what he did with MMG a decade ago was incredible

Arguable. I think he’s in mine

Not every album you like is a classic bro

Definitely top 20 for his impact on the game, classics, and for building a strong label

not even top 10 bffr

i hate yall

No because he isn't experimental enough but he's a huge talent

not top 10 all time but maybe since 2006 lol

Damn that’s at least 70 songs and I bet a lot of people can too and he still ain’t top 30?

no

I wouldn't be mad at this take

Yea you right, I could see why it would be hard for him to crack top 30

There’s definitely rappers that NEVER get talked about in the top 10 conversations that deserve to be and Rick Ross is one of them.

lol

Jay, Big, Nas, Em, André, Q-Tip, Kendrick, Wayne, Mos Def, Kendrick - yep

Doom, Black Thought, Pac
Rakim, DMX, Busta - arguable, I wouldn't be mad

T.I., Missy, Common, Pusha, Redman, Future, Chuck D, Ice Cube, Scarface, Posdnuos, El-P Big Boi, Lupe, Drake - nah

Ross is like Clyde Drexler or Dominique Wilkins. Amazing, great longevity, definitely one of the best of his era, but there's been so much talent it's hard to put him in the upper category. I love his music but it's easy for me to name 10 people over him because of how much good music there's been

He's a great rapper, has had great songs, and many great features, don't care for lists

Nigga snuck Pusha in there

F*** no 20-30 sure
