soulja boy level 3
putting him next to birdman & lil xan and putting 69 and pump over him is a bit egregious

Watch the video

I don't think y'all listen or heard his descriptions for each tier including @op

This whole video is based off only "rapping ability", not songs, not influence, not creativity, or any other s***.

Just pure rapping

Level 1 (Trash): the bottom of the barrel
They can't flow, they can't rap, and sometimes they voices are annoying af.

Level 2 (Bad): Unlike the level 1 rappers, you can get away with somewhat listenable verse. But even then, they're extremely limited with rapping.

Level 3 (Mid/Average): Pure corporate rap. Not bad or not good. Just pure cardboard.

This level might some flows and surface wordplay, but majority of the lines is fillers galore. Especially the "Ballin like in the NBA"

Majority of people who love these type of rappers is just kids or adults who just want to vibe out and have the party get lit.

Level 4 (OK/Elevated Mid): Unlike the previous 3 entries, these rappers have the benefit of getting introspective on the track, bust a fast flow, or pull a impressive rhyme scheme.

Most casual listeners of hip-hop enjoy this level of rapping and a small bit of hardcore fans like it for a least a drop of lyricism in the mainstream.

Level 5 (Good):

This level of rapping contains a lot of favorite rap artists. These rappers have the capability to have a good amount of wordplay, entendres, and great storytelling for days.

These rappers get the most respect amongst people in the industry and fans, but the hardcore hip-hop lovers/old heads have a hard time to see their huge appeal, so overall they're just "ok" to them.....lol they hating.

Level 6 (Great):

This level of rapping is less mainstream. A lot of rappers are lyrical wordsmiths in this tier, but the main problem is that the rapping is the primary focus, instead of the vibe/production of the song.

So to many listeners, it could get either boring to someone who just wants to hear a banging ass beat or nice to someone who really takes their time to listen to each bar.

Level 7 (GOAT):

These are the God Tier spitters, they know how to fit into any pocket of any track. They can get complex like a lot of great rappers, but they can also dial it down enough to compete with a lot of Good/Ok rappers with great ass production.

Their songwriting/hitmaking ability is a huge highlight in this tier along with their lyricism.

They can get love and respect from all fans of the art.

Again, this is all his opinions, but for what his descriptions are, this is pretty accurate to that.

He gave Drake 83 and he's not on the great tier

p bentley at lvl 7
