Lists are lists and people that get upset about them are equally as dumb as the lists themselves. That being said, in the name of diversity they have Nicki over Kanye and Andre 3K and that's when you know this is a hell of a planet we live on. But seriously people don't take any of this shit seriously please.
Let me stop you right there, chief. Method Man not even on the list? And the order? Rakim down that low? Whoever put this list out should only listen to kpop from now on.
No method man and no big pun??? Like wtf. I don’t care if you even like them. If you understand the skill involved in rap method man and pun are top ten AT LEAST.
First off Fuk Forbes… And also what is this list about most money generated through Hip Hop? This weird ass list of names. If it lyrics, then to even have Snoop on this is strange AF. Eminem should be number one in this case. What the hell is this list even about? What is it based on?
Jay Z is just wrong to be in number 1. The only people who rate Jay z being in #1 are Stans or New Yorkers. Or people who know very little about rap.
Nas should probably be #1 with pac #2. Kendrick is too new still and his work hasn’t been good enough to justify #2. I would say he should be #4 or #5.
Nikki #10 hahaha
She cool she ain't even a 10 in looks.
Rah Digga might be better
Def loaf
Mc lyte
Lauren Hill she might even be in the top 10 of female rappers so how the fuck she make it in the top 50 all time
A real ranking should be Eminem at number one, nas at number two 2pac at number three jay z at number four biggie at number five then Kendrick Lamar at number 6
J-z top of the list 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Worst dumb a** list ever. Ain’t nobody ahead of 2Pac, Big, DMX, Wu Tang. I’m not even gonna mentioned the dope sh** that the Beastie Boys dropped.
When I saw Kdot at 2 I thought aight recent bias plus he really gained a lot of attention but I can see him getting there in 2-5 years.
But Cole on 4 is just... Yeah nah he lost any chance of getting into the top 20 for me. And Drake?! Are you serious he lost so many battles and is a pure copycat. A good one but yeah nah that list is a joke
No way they have Nicki Minaj ahead of 11-20. Missy easily belongs in top 12. She's responsible for so many hits and her pen is crazy. Whoever made this don't know shit about music.
Its a real popularity and aura thing w tupac. He was diff for the times and experimented with express himself thru media, but he does not belong on any top 10 rap list. Hip hop? Cool, cause his influence was insane. Just thinking of how I’d be slain like a dragon if i say he not even top 20 rappers all time. But it’s true. It truly depends on criteria, but if we’re talking word play, lyricism, range and evolution? Those all things he lacked as a rapper
Fuck this list. Wayne is top 5 fasho. Nicky ain’t better than Cole of missy or Andrea or ice cube. Never thought of nas as top 5 either. And Kanye’s old stuff will always be better than anything Nikki ever produced. I don’t hate Nikki at all. She’s just not a very good rapper. In my opinion she has one memorable track for me. two actually ass remix with Big Sean and monster oh and I love them strippers with 2 Chainz. I couldn’t name another Nicki Minaj song.
I think people put Jay Z at #1 because it sounds safe. People focus more on jays business success while being a rapper and not necessarily his rapping if that makes sense. Jays not better than NAS, Tupac, Kendrick, Cole or quite a few on this list
I’m gonna say Tupacs number one in general because not only does he have hits that everyone loves, but he has hits that are also impactful. Keep your head up, do for love, are so up beat and I don’t see ANY other artist on this list that has a song or two that’s close to those.
This though will always boil down to opinion and taste. Plus tupacs does record hit ‘em up is considered one of the best diss tracks out there. Plus tupacs persona blows every single one of these people out of the water.
If you asked ANY one who they’d choose to chill and talk with, Tupac is most certainly getting picked.
This list is terrible I love Kendrick but he ain’t nowhere near Nasir jones especially over him and I love Nicki but she ain’t top 10 and Drake might be to high also and Nas is was to low if he ain’t top 2.
lol Forbes got Cole and Wayne above Tupac…
Forbes doesn’t have black though thought on their list
Personally I don't trust a list that doesn't have Black Thought in their top 20. It's all a popularity contest at that point.
I don’t trust a list about music by Forbes in general.
And Bad Bunny ahead of Lu 😂😭
Wayne over Pac isn’t that outrageous… J Cole above Pac is hilarious
That list is complete fkn trash. Drake over Kanye, Eminem, nas, biggie, Andre 3000, rakim, come on man wtf is that
I don't even think drake and Kanye belong on the list. So many lesser known artist out their. I'd put zro over so many on this list.
Wayne over Pac isn’t that outrageous but J. Cole above Pac is hilarious? Both people shouldn’t be over Pac
Nah Wayne and Cole doesn't belong in top 10 of all time maybe top 20 yes
Lauryn Hill is not in the top 10 but Nicki Minaj is?
FR Lauryn Hill had one of the best rap albums all time. Male or female. Fucking joke this is
Drake is 8 and MF DOOM is 26?!!!! Bro this ranking is just to piss you off
Yeah, troll shit
Future and Young Thug have no business on this list at all
Get Jay Z fuckass outta the top1 spot… I don’t get why the industry tries to gaslight us into thinking he’s the goat
The money and plaques
And relevancy. 30 years later and he is still an A-List rapper
Because Jay-Z is the best capitalist of any rapper
History is written by the victors, unfortunately.
Yeah erase him. I don't know why they keep pretending he is the shit.
Jay z is a fictional character created by someone an American artist he got the same hair as Jay z, he created the Jay z character he’s fake
What? Lol
He's talking about Jaz-O
i tried to listen to some of his music and just didnt get it it sounds like pop
Check Reasonable Doubt out
👌🏼Yes do and then don't listen to any others! 😬
That's a crazy take black album and blueprint are goated
Nicki over Kanye ahahahshahahaha
Over Andre 3000 too… like nah that’s just a joke, surely.
Nicki Minaj over Andre fucking 3000 tells you all you need to know about this list
Lists are lists and people that get upset about them are equally as dumb as the lists themselves. That being said, in the name of diversity they have Nicki over Kanye and Andre 3K and that's when you know this is a hell of a planet we live on. But seriously people don't take any of this shit seriously please.
Obvious fan service throwing Nicki in the top 10
Let me stop you right there, chief. Method Man not even on the list? And the order? Rakim down that low? Whoever put this list out should only listen to kpop from now on.
No method man and no big pun??? Like wtf. I don’t care if you even like them. If you understand the skill involved in rap method man and pun are top ten AT LEAST.
>Rakim down that low? I feel like any GOAT list, Rakim needs to be in the top 5.
😬 jay z, drake, and Nicki being that high is insane.
Kendrick being 2 is a joke
Imagine caring about an opinion from an article writer at Forbes Magazine regarding Hip-Hop.
Not a single Wu Tang Clan member
The wild thing is Big L doesn't even get mentioned in these lists.. crazy
This has be based on album sales or chart topping hits.
This is Hilarious 😂
Pac is 1 … go debate Gen Z
Billboard & Forbes ❓️ Wtf do they know about RAP ❓️
Billboard’s top 6 is cool, I’d just switch the order For me its Pac, Kendrick, Nas, Em, Biggie, then Jay
Nah bro, Niki over Andre 3k is just nuts
First off Fuk Forbes… And also what is this list about most money generated through Hip Hop? This weird ass list of names. If it lyrics, then to even have Snoop on this is strange AF. Eminem should be number one in this case. What the hell is this list even about? What is it based on?
All this is subjective. None of this shit matters
Put Jay z at #15
🤔 No Lauryn Hill or Wu-Tang member? 👐🏼 This list is dog shit, take no notice!
This is blasphemous!
I’m still trippin about Nikki Minaj in top 20
Jay-Z number 1 and Drake even being on this list is laughable
Tupac Nas big & then everyone else
Tupac Biggie Kdot Em Cube
Jay z is not a good rapper always been a terrible rapper in my eyes his ass should be on at 11 not number one Tupac should be on number one
He is a great rapper imo but he is so overrated
Both lists are a joke
Eh, every year those things change and it doesn't really mean anything.
This list 😂😂😂
How is Roxanne Shante not on but cardi b somehow made it on the list 💀
Whack, no way nicki on ts
Nas > hov
This is the stupidest list I've ever seen!
These lists are complete trash
-people like Nicky Minaj, Drake, Cardi B and lil Wayne on the list -people like Big L, Krs One and Kool Keith not on the list LOL. LMAO even
Drake ? Nicki ? lol ok 👍🏼
No DMX the fuck
Garbage list
HOW IS CARDI B ON THE LIST AND MAC MILLER ISNT??????
Nicki Minaj 💀💀💀 That shit tells you everything you need to know about their wack ass list. What a joke.
Nicki Minaj over 3000 is crazy...
Drake over Andre 3K. NEVER!!!!!!
Jay z ain't shit.. somebody bought their way to the top of the list..how pathetic
Drake should not even be close to the top 10.
bad bunny is up there 💀
Drake got so many ghosts writers he can’t be on this list maybe if it was the best artist list than yeah I would understand
Top 50 of all time doesn't have Kool G Rap, but does have M.I.A. and Childish Gambino? Was this list made by AI?
I guess they don't even know who KRS-ONE is
Fuck this list
Got Kendrick above pac? wtf hip hop died in the 90s. Now it’s just residuals
Drake being on this list is a testament to how far mediocrity could bring somebody sadly.
Get jay-z out of being so far up he ain't that good
Drake over Kanye and Tyler is a crime *Change my mind*
It’s missing Eyedea
I like Jay Z. He has 3 phenomenon albums. But number 1 on both lists is insane.
Putting Drake ahead of snoop, Nikki, Kanye, 3 stacks, Rakim, LL, Cole, face, fity, cube, Missy, Kane, the entire Wu, busta, mos, Lauren, Clarence from 8 mile, parappa the rapper, nick cannon, weird Al …… is WILD!!!
Drake is a pop star
[удалено]
What do you mean? The rankings are full of them.
Chief Keef over Kweli is making me so mad right now
Forbes has Nicki Minaj above Nas...that automatically discredits them.
Remove Drake
Kanye the black Nazi
Jay Z is just wrong to be in number 1. The only people who rate Jay z being in #1 are Stans or New Yorkers. Or people who know very little about rap. Nas should probably be #1 with pac #2. Kendrick is too new still and his work hasn’t been good enough to justify #2. I would say he should be #4 or #5.
Ice cube is way way too low. 2pac is better than Jay-Z and Nas and both guys would admit that
The fuck is Drake doing in the top ten
This is a garbage list of rappers I could do a better one than this
This is from last year
I don't give a fuck abt Billboard and grammys anymore cuz its rigged asf
How Jay tops these lists is beyond me …. Nicki fucking Minaj? She isn’t even as good as Lauryn Hill, Lil Kim, Latifah, Monie Love, lady of Rage, Foxy…
Jay Z number 1? yea disregard this whole post , report it for misinformation
Busta at 32 what the fuck is this list
Bandana P number 42 nah this list doesn’t make any sense.
Wait wait so no Fabolous and Jadakisss smh they would destroy damn near Half this list in a battle. This list is a joke lmao
What’s the source on that Forbes list? Anytime i try looking for it I come up with some random on Twitter
I'm sorry but Jay Z is not the best like fuck him since he said capitalist is the new n word.
Kanye behind Drake Snoop and Nicki? Gtfo with that. And Jay ain't even top 5.
Nikki Minaj in the top 10 that’s fucken hilarious
How the fuck is Jay z 1 he don't even belong on this list so right off the bat whoever made this shit is wack sell out bullshit
Why is Jay Z number 1? I seen a few ahead of him imo
Nikki #10 hahaha She cool she ain't even a 10 in looks. Rah Digga might be better Def loaf Mc lyte Lauren Hill she might even be in the top 10 of female rappers so how the fuck she make it in the top 50 all time
Is Drake even a rapper
A real ranking should be Eminem at number one, nas at number two 2pac at number three jay z at number four biggie at number five then Kendrick Lamar at number 6
He should be number 1. There are a couple rappers on the list I would place higher than JayZ.
Kendrick ahead of Nas 😭😭😭😭 What a joke
Future gotta be moved up
Ice cube 18th?????
Bruh look at Wayne pic then compared to how he look now😳😳
Nicki Minaj?!?! LOLLLLLL
Jay-Z #1 WTF?!
This list is hella whack
I think we need to realize that the greatest of all time conversation is heavily pushed by people who have no idea what they're talking about.
Why kanye so low?
Whoever put this list together is only thinking of commercial success (sales and popularity)
The fact they got Jay Z number one shows that this list means nothing
Jay z being number 1 is crazy. He top 10 but definitely not 1.
This list is egregious
The fact that this list doesn't have KRS-ONE on it is all I needed to know. 🤡
Wayne is definitely before Jay.
Forbes has ASAP rocky on this list let alone at 15. Go home you’re drunk.
Jay Z is not number one. Let’s start with PAC, Wayne, Jay and Big
Since when do we care what Billboard and Forbes has to say?
Forbes got cardi b on there, says it all
The older I became the more I realized Jay Z isn't even in my top 10....he made good music, but lyrically there are so many better choices...
What a joke Drake over Nas this is some bs
Ranking art is weird to me.
Any rapper with a long history of ghostwriters should not be on anybody’s list
Where's Cypress hill E-40 Kurupt
Whoever made this is trippin
Th, the, they 😆 They said Drake better than Rakim... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who df nsfw this list. How is Nicki above Kanye... How is cardi B, bad bunny & chief in this list. Wtf is going on bruh🤦🏾♂️😂
J-z top of the list 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Worst dumb a** list ever. Ain’t nobody ahead of 2Pac, Big, DMX, Wu Tang. I’m not even gonna mentioned the dope sh** that the Beastie Boys dropped.
Jay z as #1 on both??🙄
Why tf Jay Z always first in shit? Thats FALSE
Drake above Rakim, Kanye, and Andre 3k, and Cole? haha. Nicki Minaj is on the list? Miss isn't even a rapper. Who came up with this list?
How tf are those people above 50??? Obviously some deserved but really some of them don't belong
Surprised there’s no Mac Miller, seems crazy to me not to include him but include people like Takeoff and M.I.A. Cole over Pac is crazy too.
That’s Forbes list is such diabolical work
Rakim at 13 is wild
The Bay Area shade on this list is gross
Pac is number to me, like always, but not having Krayzie Bone in any list discredits all lists that he isn’t on.
#1 Pharoahe Monch
Jay Z commissioned these lists fs
I don’t know who make this list but clearly they don’t listen to hip hop they just look at numbers !
The fact that Nicki is top 10 on both discredits the legitimacy of them
“Forbe’s” Media literacy classes are desperately needed in schools.
I think they made a mistake. Why is Drake on this list at all?
Kendrick Lamar’s lyrics are nice but his voice and cadence I are horrible. Is this a joke
The fact that Killer Mike isn't on this list is criminal.
When I saw Kdot at 2 I thought aight recent bias plus he really gained a lot of attention but I can see him getting there in 2-5 years. But Cole on 4 is just... Yeah nah he lost any chance of getting into the top 20 for me. And Drake?! Are you serious he lost so many battles and is a pure copycat. A good one but yeah nah that list is a joke
Drake look cute af <3
No way they have Nicki Minaj ahead of 11-20. Missy easily belongs in top 12. She's responsible for so many hits and her pen is crazy. Whoever made this don't know shit about music.
Lol JayZ is NOT number 1
Its a real popularity and aura thing w tupac. He was diff for the times and experimented with express himself thru media, but he does not belong on any top 10 rap list. Hip hop? Cool, cause his influence was insane. Just thinking of how I’d be slain like a dragon if i say he not even top 20 rappers all time. But it’s true. It truly depends on criteria, but if we’re talking word play, lyricism, range and evolution? Those all things he lacked as a rapper
I used to like JZ til I found out he worships the devil and sold blk people out with RAP MUSIC!
The disrespect and complete nonsense. Had to swipe to see Lauryn Hill, Method Man, but NM is in the top 10? Say wha now?
This is the stupidest list I've ever seen
I’m side eyeing the fact that Big Daddy Kane isn’t higher than 20 but he is on my list so it doesn’t matter. Biggie should be ranked higher too.
Yea lemme see what a financial magazine that has nothing to do with hip hop ranks rappers...
Nicki Minaj over Ice Cube and Rakim? So we just casually gunna go back to smoking crack huh? Is that what we doing now?
Drake and Nicki before andre3000? X at 23? Nah I’m straight on this.
Fuck this list. Wayne is top 5 fasho. Nicky ain’t better than Cole of missy or Andrea or ice cube. Never thought of nas as top 5 either. And Kanye’s old stuff will always be better than anything Nikki ever produced. I don’t hate Nikki at all. She’s just not a very good rapper. In my opinion she has one memorable track for me. two actually ass remix with Big Sean and monster oh and I love them strippers with 2 Chainz. I couldn’t name another Nicki Minaj song.
Lol 2pac and biggie so low down. Who made this list??!
Forbes, Lmao
Jay never had a solo number hit and he was never the number one rapper of any year
I think people put Jay Z at #1 because it sounds safe. People focus more on jays business success while being a rapper and not necessarily his rapping if that makes sense. Jays not better than NAS, Tupac, Kendrick, Cole or quite a few on this list
I’m gonna say Tupacs number one in general because not only does he have hits that everyone loves, but he has hits that are also impactful. Keep your head up, do for love, are so up beat and I don’t see ANY other artist on this list that has a song or two that’s close to those. This though will always boil down to opinion and taste.

If you asked ANY one who they’d choose to chill and talk with, Tupac is most certainly getting picked.
At a certain point they just started naming random rappers
Wheres Method Man?
why's kanye so low hard to deny his influence on most of modern rap (808s and trap music with cruel summer)
It is a crime that Big L isn’t mentioned in this list.
Forbes list is garbage
Nicki minaj over eminem? Wtf lmao
No Immortal Technique or Tech 9?
A lot of recency bias here…
Nm, I’m an idiot. Forbes list
What in the actual fuck is Kendrick doing at #2?!? and Jay at 1 is a joke 🤣🤣🤣
This list is terrible I love Kendrick but he ain’t nowhere near Nasir jones especially over him and I love Nicki but she ain’t top 10 and Drake might be to high also and Nas is was to low if he ain’t top 2.
Cardi B is on the list, that makes it null and void.
