Top Rappers List

Rick Ross Thinks Most Rappers Have The Same Top 3 MCs List For This Reason

by

Rick Ross recently hit up Adin Ross for a livestream together, and they got up to a whole lot of antics. In addition to a broken chair, the duo chopped it up about an array of topics, whether that was everyday pop culture happenings or Rozay’s career in the rap game. On that last point, an inevitable and forever unanswered question in hip-hop came up: who are the best rappers of all time? For this, the Maybach Music Group mogul put Biggie Smalls, Tupac Shakur, and Jay-Z as his top three. Not only that, but he also explained why a lot of MCs share this exact ranking and why there’s so much overlap among his peers.

“When you hear OGs like myself and other n***as say those names so commonly, it’s because they had the biggest effect,” Rick Ross posited. “These the n***as that we watched get rich. Jay, Puff… that was really that first generation that we watched get rich. Because we’d seen artists that were hugely successful, but were they extremely wealthy? We not sure.” Given that he purchased a billboard in Dubai for his girlfriend recently, we know just how much he manifested inspiration from these figures into his own empire.

Rick Ross Breaks Down His Top 3 Rappers List To Adin Ross, Explains Similarities

Still, the Mississippi native didn’t provide any disrespect or lack of appreciation for that older guard of hip-hop pioneers. For example, he named Run-DMC as one of the most “extremely successful” artists of the Golden Age who didn’t garner the wild commercial success and extracurricular business practices that later lyricists lounged in. “It wasn’t just music,” Rick Ross said of why Big, ‘Pac, and Hov are often considered the greatest among rappers. “They was doing a lot of different s**t.“

Meanwhile, we know one name that for sure won’t appear near any of his lists of praise when it comes to MCs. The 50 Cent beef is as alive as ever, and that’s a narrative that likely won’t slow down anytime soon. Still, if you ask Fif who the top three best rappers are, maybe this disproves the 47-year-old’s theory. But we need a larger sample size for that debacle. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Rick Ross.

Pusha T Seemingly Responds To Jim Jones

by

Jim Jones recently lit the rap world on fire by suggesting that Pusha T is not an all-time MC. “What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time?” he asked on the RapCaviar Podcast. “Besides talk about cocaine that he probably didn’t get himself. He could rap his ass off but what has he done? Nobody has dressed like him, Nobody want to be like Pusha T. I don’t remember nothing. I don’t know too many n***as in this game that was leaning towards being like Pusha T.”

Now, it seems like the “Nosetalgia” MC might have responded in a post thanking Jerry Lorenzo for including him in his Fear Of God show. Furthermore, people came to that conclusion thanks to the boastful caption included- plus the inevitable context of the Dipset MC’s words in everyone’s minds. “Places they’ll never be, stages they’ll never see…” the Virginia Beach native wrote on his post. Of course, this could mean anything, and knowing that Push is one to directly address detractors, it’s probably not a pointed comment like many believe. Still, fans can only dream.

Pusha T May Have Clapped Back At Jim Jones

In addition, Jim Jones recently doubled down on his take on The Breakfast Club, asking the radio staff some questions to prove his point. “Could you name five Pusha T records?” he asked. “Could you name five Pusha T records? No, could you rap to five Pusha T records? Could you rap five [Jay-Z] verses if they came on? Could you rap five Drake verses if they came on? You lying because you work at radio. I’m just gonna say that because n***as gonna say Jim went way wildin.

“Shoutout to Pusha T, I love your soul,” Jim Jones continued. “You my dawg, you not in my top 50. You might be in Charlamagne’s top 50 and things like that, but you haven’t done that much for me in my life. I never wanted to be like Pusha, I never had a Pusha moment in my life. Where I’m from, n***as wanted to be like you if you was really that dude as a rapper.” Regardless of whether Push really responded or not, return to HNHH for more on Jim Jones and Pusha T.

Joe Budden Reacts To Jim Jones Placing Big Sean Above Pusha T

by

Two G.O.O.D. Music affiliates are being pitted against each other in the world of hip-hop debate- and it’s not pretty. Moreover, Joe Budden recently reacted to Jim Jones saying that Big Sean deserves to be on a top 50 rappers list before Pusha T does. Not only that, but the Slaughterhouse MC turned media mogul vehemently dismissed these claims and said that the Dipset head honcho “could not be more wrong.” Wherever your take lies in that debate, you can’t deny that it’s at least a pretty contentious topic of conversation, especially considering both their careers.

“I think Jim Jones is incorrect saying that Big Sean should be ranked higher than Pusha T on a list. I am emphatically saying you could not be more wrong. And that’s where it gets disrespectful because Sean just got here in 2012. 2011, 2013? Somewhere around there. He did everything he had to do, sold a bunch of records, but now, it’s a little on the quieter side. I’m saying this respectfully. We in 2023. That’s ten years. I won’t assume [about label issues affecting Sean]. All I can say for fact is, ten years later, it’s on the quieter side of things. So y’all out there have to put a little more respect in the people that are twenty years in.” Budden’s cohosts agreed that longevity, consistency, and quality are in Push’s favor.

Joe Budden Blasts Jim Jones For Placing Big Sean Above Pusha T

Even though Big Sean might not be making the splash that he used to, don’t think that means that he’s off the map. For example, he just gave an excellent guest performance on the track “Palisades, CA” from Larry June and The Alchemist’s collaborative album. Also, his last album Detroit 2 was a significant step-up in the eyes of many fans. Ultimately, the lesson here is to put some respect on both names, especially when they typically coexisted in two very different lanes despite being in the same clique.

Meanwhile, when it comes to Pusha T… well, are you going to doubt his greatness and catalog? As a true rapper’s rapper, he earned a lot of respect from every corner of the game, from its most important progenitors to the young kids he inspired- and that then inspired him. Maybe Jim Jones is using a different metric to determine Push’s greatness, but it’s likely that the Clipse legend will get far more defense than scrutiny in this debate. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest on Jim Jones, Big Sean, Joe Budden, and Pusha T.
