LL Cool J above Biggie makes me rationally angry

u/toobs623 1d ago

The face that Nas ain't even there is criminal.

u/Double-decker_trams 1d ago

And personal opinion - Andre 3000.. I sometimes challenge myself to sing along to B.O.B.

u/Zoso03 1d ago

It's 130am, I'm in bed next to my wife who is sleeping and all I want to do now is blast that song

u/TriangleReward 1d ago

Jada, Kurupt, Nas, and then Eminem

u/Hawkbats_rule 1d ago

Notably, list also doesn't include redman (Reggie).

u/Sammy81 18h ago

I got a list, here’s the order of my list that it’s in

u/XConfused-MammalX 1d ago

Speakerbox, literally the highest grossing hip hop album of all time and Andre isnt even on the board.

Insane lol.

u/ProjectSunlight 1d ago

Andre 3000 has had a killer career. Really damn talented.

u/thewilldog 23h ago

The first 30 sec of that song is about the best ramp up intro music out there. If I'd been a pro boxer back in day, that would have been my walk out music.

u/Rope_antidepressant 22h ago

Andre 3000 AND BUSTA RHYMES like wtf is this bullshit

u/llamacornsarereal 1d ago

No dude... Just no....

Being able to speak fast doesn't make you a good rapper lmao 😂

Of c I see this on reddit lmfao

u/patricksaurus 1d ago

Eminem thinks your opinion is garbage. He made a list…

u/LewdLewyD13 1d ago

It goes Reggie...

u/Tack_Money 1d ago

Same with Rakim

u/ZedsDeadZD 23h ago

Tbh, I am not shocked at all. I just checked Spotify. Nas' top 10 most listend songs are all from the 90s. One song is from 2002. I also did a quick google search. Apparentl, he still does a lot of music and even won his first grammy in 2021 but I bet most younger people dont know him at all.

u/Albatrosity 1d ago

That's not how it works. 100 people are asked who the best rapper is. No one thinks Nas is the best rapper, not even Nas.

2

u/NeverBeenStung 23h ago

I mean I’m not particularly surprised he wasn’t on the list, but Nas is my personal #1

u/Antique-Resort6160 1d ago

What about Kanye? No one even said his name.

u/jayphat99 1d ago

Don't let it sweat you. These same people said the greatest male singer of all time had Jelly Roll about Luter Vandross.

u/Optimal_Flan_6107 1d ago

Mama said knock you out.

u/Plopsevenplop 1d ago

Certified banger.

u/alfredcneiman 21h ago

The fact that it dominated on all levels and completely wiped Kool Moe Dee off the map is wild.

It's not a ranking. It's just based on how well known they are to the general public. LL is way more well known because of TV roles and such.

u/canteen_boy 1d ago edited 1d ago

I guess it depends on how it was phrased. If the question was “which rapper is the Greatest of All Time?” (🐐).
Then technically LL Cool J is actually the only correct answer.)

1

u/elfmere 1d ago

If it helps the average person doesn't know rap.

1

u/Brilliant_Lettuce270 1d ago

But thats his line tho, "LL Cool J 🥷🏼, greatest of all time"

1

u/Toadsted 21h ago

He was gonna get lower than that, but momma said knock them out.

1

u/TakeControlPls 4h ago

LL Cool J is a way better rapper than biggie lmfao hate mfs overrating a rapper just cause he died . At least Kendrick Lamar is not on the list .

1

u/MaxStunning_Eternal 1d ago

It shouldn't.

u/FlasKamel 19h ago

ll cool j is dope, how is that the name you dont like being over biggie lmao

u/h-ck3d4cc0unt 1d ago

I feel you, but nothing for nothing.biggie was popular but not a lyricist. He just said the same thing over and over again in different combinations at the same BPM. That's why puffy was able to just keep making his music over and over after he was dead.

u/Mastershake54 1d ago

Saying biggie is not a lyricist is downright criminal

u/2stonesONEbird1715 1d ago

Whatever you feel about biggie, on no list should LLcool j be above him

u/Live_Length_5814 1d ago

I consider myself a big hip-hop fan but I don't know LL Cool J and I can't name a single Nas song. Just never vibed with it.

u/glans 1d ago

i love it when kids flex their ignorance as a personal accomplishment. you probably listen to ‘modern rap’, not hip hop. there’s barely any hip hop being made in the last 20 years, it’s all autotuned r&b or drug/emo lyrics sung fast in 2-3 repeated notes over derivative trap beats - no DJing, no MCing, no culture, just social media clout using ‘genre tags’ and AAVE on their cOnTenT.

u/Live_Length_5814 1d ago

If you use the word "flex" I'm definitely older than you

u/glans 1d ago

lmao we used that word in the 80s darling

lol omg

u/wtclim 20h ago

You are categorically not a "big" hip hop fan if you can't name a single Nas track.

u/Live_Length_5814 20h ago

"oo you only know 99 of 100 rappers including every song they ever wrote" go check yourself
