Okay, so we all seen the utterly trash Billboard ranking, which I think is trash because it was arbitrarily ranked and selected more for content farming than any other discrete set of criteria.

I got to thinking, who better to make a definitive ranking than KTT?

I propose we do this is a somewhat objective manner: I'll be creating a poll with a number of measurable criteria we think should be considered like:

1. Influence - where we literally count the number of rappers that cite nominees as an influence in their sound, Google search rankings, social media a***ytics.

2. Ability - where we create Twitter/Reddit/KTT polls to rank how subjectively good a rapper is

3. Sales/Billboard rankings, which is self-explanatory

4. Awards: Grammy, BET, Billboard

5. Tours, again self-explanatory

We'll add other criteria as we think/vote about them. In summary, it'll be KTT's job to vote on the criteria we're using and to determine what criteria has more weight while we'll have to include other sites in determining what each artist scores in each category.

Y'all can suggest categories ITT and ill add them to the list.

Jay Z - 2
Eminem - 51

Insightful contribution, Chief

Remember to bump this s*** tomorrow

You meant to remove that “5” for Eminem

You’re a terrible mind reader
Practice more

I'll just bump it now and save you the anticipation

Attention seeking everywhere, I see

I’m responding to people quoting me, you idiot

Not mature enough to let things go, I see. What childhood trauma made you NEED to always have the last word?

Lol, gotcha.

Drake gonna be #1 and I don’t like the guy

Nah, Jay and Em still ahead of him when you factor in tours and influence but won't be mad at all if he's #1.

On this site? Kanye would still win easily. He would probably do double the numbers of the next rapper

Kendrick always beats Drake when we do site-wide AOTY polls. TPAB beat IYRTITL in 2015, DAMN beat More Life in 2017, Mr. Morale beat Her Loss in 2022. I think he ends up #2

If we actually did this it would be Drake vs Jay for #3

Wayne would probably round out the top 5

Which is why KTT2 only selects the categories and how their weighted, and the actual categories will be polled via Reddit/The Coli/Twitter.

I've seen KTT Versus threads and it's always skewed in favor of obvious KTT biases.

No.

Pac Nas n BIG

Yeah if it was 100% KTT2 users doing the polling, Ye would win by miles and the vz threads back that up. If an artist has Ye features/production they win, numbers don't lie.

I vote RX Papi #1

Who cares man

Let's not
