Nas is my GOAT but he just isn't that big of an icon outside rap.

And the mainstream hasn't really been on Em's d*** for a long time.

That's nothing against Nas either because he never sought out that level of fame or attention. He's perfectly content just being a hip hop legend as opposed to a crossover artist.

I don't disagree with this

Eminem is def a pop icon and Nas isn't (that's what it means to me - a legend in hip hop but not the mainstream)

Snoop way more iconic than nas

Nas ain’t as iconic as the others tbh, sometimes feel like iconic is one of those words people use without really grasping it

Snoop is top 5 icons

Accurate

snoop dogg
2pac
biggie
em
50 cent

these are rappers literally anyone would know

Sometimes, I wonder if DMX will become more iconic than Biggie over time.

I was going through his music on YT and there was a lot of comments in Russian and Spanish praising him.

Maybe not but X has to be a top 10 hip hop icon. If not, then top 15.

Leave Ye off any list that includes Jay ,Nas, Big , and Pac

You don’t know hip hop

eminem has both

Op doesn’t specify “iconic within hip hop”, if we talking icons I’m gonna assume we mean like household name type people and faces that everyone knows

Dylan Smh

Snoop and 50 are missing from OP.

I don’t know that is

I wanted to include a female rapper
