I’d say they are, his impact and skills with those 2 albums are easily enough to put him in the top 5, plus if he was alive he would have dominated the 2000s so idk what that last paragraph even supposed to mean

top 10

I mostly agree with OP's list but would find a spot for DOOM in there

My personal list

Kanye
Wayne
Jay z
Drake
Future
Thug
Youngboy
Nas
Cole
Big
Pac

Ngl Nas might not even make my personal top 15. Love his music though

If you in 2000 sure but niggas done put in the work since. Doubt you got Rakim in your 5 either. It's less and less feasible but because it's been such a go-to answer for so long some of y'all don't wanna accept s*** changes

Like Em continued his run into the 10s right? Trying to pretend no niggas ever lost they juice is so comical

Jay Z stan?

My man has no solo

Damn this list kind of fire

cole over god's son?

how he not in your 15 but you still put him there

Love Below out now

A lot more questionable names on that list than Cole.

at least they in different lanes. Cole over Nas is indefensible any way you slice it

Nas not even in your top 15 is just stupidity

Don’t comment on hip hop again

It’s like someone saying Kobe or Lebron is not in their top 15 ball players ever

Straight up fighting words, watch who you say this disrespectful ass s*** around clown

List without Wayne

No it’s not really the same. Music is art and art is subjective. Basketball is not really subjective. You can look at a players stats to measure their impact on the game. Music is really who you prefer

Yeah just realized I put him there. Def a mistake tbh. I’d probably swap him out for someone like 50, either Outkast member, s***, even Kendrick

As for Cole, yeah I fw him more than Nas simply because I grew up during his run. I didn’t know any Nas music besides a couple songs here and there until I got to middle school at least.

Nas is a goat though, I’ll never disrespect his music or him in general. He’s just not one of my absolute favorites

this thread still crazy tbh

Nas been top 5 since the 90s

He's top 3 but not because of these Hit Boy albums.

Why niggas still got Biggie ol two album having ass in they top 5? He was cool but cmon

Lmao what "run"? He had 2 amazing mixtapes, a horrible debut album, some great EPs, a mid sophomore and then his only classic followed by a lot more mid

How’s it a L lol? It’s just my opinion. There’s like 1000 rappers probably. Everyone can’t be top 10. Some niggas gonna get left out

i will never 4get u got youngboy (who i highly respect) over nas

Why does ktt think it’s cool to disrespect Cole?

niggas try 2 be different so bad only 2 end up looking brainless
