Hip-hop star Kanye West has shared his personal list of the 12 greatest rappers in history, calling them the “12 Rap Kings.” His selection includes some of the biggest names in rap, but it has also stirred up controversy among fans
West shared his list on social media, naming:
- Lil Wayne
- Kanye West (himself)
- Jay-Z
- Drake
- Biggie Smalls
- 2PAC
- 50 Cent
- Eminem
- LL Cool J
- Run DMC
- Nas
- Rakim
Many fans were quick to notice that he left out popular artists like Kendrick Lamar and J.Cole. Some believe these rappers deserve a spot on the list, leading to heated discussions online.
Kanye has made it clear that he doesn’t enjoy Kendrick Lamar’s music, even though he admits Kendrick is talented. Last year, he also criticized J.Cole for apologizing to Kendrick after a rap feud.
Kanye’s list has sparked a lot of debate, with some agreeing with his picks and others feeling that he overlooked important rap legends. What do you think? Did Kanye get it right, or did he leave out some key names?
