COMMUNITY Rank The Top 30 Rappers of Alltime

Similar to the "Rank the best 30 albums" thread, we're gonna rank the top 30 rappers.


The Criteria

Lyrical ability/skills
Hits
Classic/genre defining albums
Sales
Cultural impact



After I tally all of the points we'll have our own Top 50 rappers list.​
If ppl name rappers they need to plug in the criteria

Let me use big for instance
Lyrical ability/skills 5/5
Hits 8
Classic/genre defining albums 2
Sales multi-plat
Cultural impact : Holstered east cost hip hop with a mafioso rap style adaptable to kool g rap yadda x3

Don’t just put a rappers name and no reasoning
 
U gotta break up groups b


Can't bruh...If I'm takin all the factors into consideration certain members of the groups by themselves don't cut top 30 but they contributed to the legendary impact of the group...

Dipset? Lauryn Hill? E fuckin 40??? How is Lupe not top 30 when he's the most skilled rapper since his debut?

Well I threw Dipset and mase up there cause I'm attributing that whole Harlem wave to Cam...Lupe rap better than the whole list damn near but his impact hasnt been greater than any of them...
 
How bout you stop bitching and post your list homie

Nigga my favorite 30 rappers is not the same as the 30 greatest rappers of all time. The premise of this thread is for us as a group to come up with a logical non bias list based on the criteria listed.

But here's the thing though...I LOVE ANDRE 3000...Without Big Boi though...He can't be in no top 10 if we including sales and impact...That's why I couldn't break up groups....
