I don’t know who 2 and 3 are so they can’t be top 10.
I would replace them with J Cole and Travis Scott
We all have our individual preferences and opinions but I think its safe to say that these are the 10 greatest Hip-Hop artists of all time
There are a lot of other legendary rappers ofc but when you look everything overall I don't think you could say anyone else deserves a slot more than any of these guys
In no particular order...




Salute the true GOATS of Hip-Hop music
Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, Pac, Eminem, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Andre 3000, Drake, Kendrick Lamar
——————————————————
Edit: Everyone on the list has elite skill in multiple areas as well as elite success. There are plenty of rappers with one of those but few with both.
As far as skill goes I think it goes without saying that objectively all of these guys are phenomenal at what they do. Hov, Nas, Big, Em, Andre, Wayne, and Kendrick easily some of the most beloved lyricist of all time. Kanye the most musically talented artist hip-hop has ever seen. Drake is the most versatile artist hip-hop has ever seen mastering every modern form of the genre.
As far as success goes every rapper on the list has multiple critically acclaimed projects, sold millions of records, has secured #1 albums and has also charted multiple times on the hot 100 with at least 2 top 10 hits. Nas has the least with 2 Drake obviously has the most with a staggering 58 top 10 hits. For comparison Ice Cube has 0 (Since a lot of people keep bringing him up)
nah get Kanye, wayne, Eminem, kendrick and drake off that s***
Like I ain’t ancient but I remember when D2 dropped and he was heating s*** up
His discography really isn’t that strong compared to the other 9 on the list IMO
Like his commercial peak was arguably when he was at his worst as a rapper for me
His peak was spread sloppily across a ton of projects but it's still one of the all timers. Almost more satisfying in the long run because you got to dive all the way in to find the gems.

Damn who would you replace them with?

I don’t disagree
A ton of classic, classic Wayne records leaked and ruined C3
I don’t hold it against him All that much tbh

I don't even know when I commented to be honest only because top 10's is something people won't ever really agree with you know. just make it your own personal thing.

Not anyone more deserving that is

Also that was the craft-your-own-playlist era of iTunes so it wasn't that bad

wait actually I do enjoy feel like dying
Solo discographies matter sorry
Cole really one of dem ones
Cole has nothing but average music all around.
most of this list is respectable, but drake realistically should not be anywhere near a top 10 rapper list.
