Eminem is no stranger to greatest-rapper-of-all-time lists. The Detroit MC is seldom left out of people’s top 5 lists. On Sunday morning, he tweeted a list of his own.
South Carolina-based YouTuber NoLifeShaq posed the question Saturday night. For a video, he reached out to 30 rappers via direct message to ask their opinion on the greatest rapper of all-time. While he reached out on Instagram, Eminem surprised Shaq by responding on Twitter.
“In no particular order,” Em wrote, “Toss up between [Lil] Wayne, Pac, Royce, Jay, Redman, Treach, [Kool] G. Rap, Biggie and [Crooked I].”
Minutes later, Eminem followed up to add a few names. “Plus LL [Cool J], Nas, Joyner [Lucas], Kendrick [J.] Cole, Andre [3000], Rakim, and [Big Daddy] Kane.”
