Every rap fan has had this conversation… heck, it’s probably exploded into a full-blown argument. “Who makes the list of the best rappers of all time?” Everyone has an opinion and it’s usually based on popularity instead of skill.
This list doesn’t care about who’s popular. It doesn’t give bonus respect points to those who are old school. It doesn’t matter who calls themselves the G.O.A.T. All we care about is pure, technical skill levels, regardless of whether they’re on a major label or an independent outfit. They need to have been on the scene long enough to prove they can stay consistent, too. today we are going to be looking in to the Top 10 greatest rapper of all times
