tons of people would say this about kanye too i am pretty sure there are people who would say this about every popular artist

Also everyone has different criteria to consider someone a GOAT so it will always be impossible to establish a consensus top 5

To some sales and radio hits are important whereas to others discography or technical ability might matter more.

What are we looking at to determine this top 5?

None of these are greater then Biggie Pac Jay Kanye and Drake

which ones would get the most pages/replies

All those projects are mid imo

But my point is if we’re going objective, only Take Care has ever really gotten close to universal respect and even then a lot of people think it’s not a classic.

Also drakes music ages rly bad tbh. Who in 2020 is bumping Headlines or Started from the Bottom or HOWGH? Those were hits then but they proved to have no staying power. Meanwhile something like Lose Yourself or Jesus Walks or Hey Ya is still relevant.

1. Andre 3k
2. Jay Z
3. Nas
4. Kendrick Lamar
5. Biggie

Facts

Overall quality, content, respect, success, and longevity

Even if they do, Kanye kinda has undeniable classics. Nobody would ever discount MBDTF or his first 3 albums.

I definitely think people would do that

I was trolling nigga

about Omari West? Nah

The only people I’ve ever seen try to slight CD or LR or Grad are Kanye stans doing it to say his new s*** is better lol

There’s a lotta non Kanye fans that think WTT is great lol

I dint think it’s based on everything

Skill, impact, dominance, relevancy, good albums, memorable moments, longevity, hits, etc

Drake, Kanye, Tupac, Biggie, Kanye, Eminem & Wayne have all of the above

They fit all the criteria’s for being a great so by default they’re undisputed

If it was based on JUST skills or lyrical abilities then that’s a different conversation

thought you were a Drake stan

Drake has ghostwriters. He disqualified for life

Kanye on there twice

He truly go above and beyond in every metric

F*** no

I really don’t know how you can put Drake but not Andre 3K or big boi. Like we just gonna sleep on a top 2-3 rap discog oat?

Don’t make me list him a 3rd time

List in OP is super solid

I ain’t complaining
