Eminem listed his picks for the greatest rapper of all time via Twitter over the weekend.
Among his initial choices were JAY-Z, Lil Wayne, KXNG Crooked, Kool G Rap, Royce Da 5’9 and The Notorious B.I.G. He later added, LL Cool J, Nas, Joyner Lucas, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, André 300, Rakim and Big Daddy Kane.
Much like Crooked, who expressed his gratitude to Em after he called him the most underrated rapper of all time, Lucas went straight to social to media to explain how it felt to have Shady, who many consider a G.O.A.T himself, lay that distinction on him.
“if you played ball and studied Michael Jordan as the greatest, and then Michael Jordan name drops you as one of the greatest ball players of all time,” he captioned a photo of Em’s tweets. “That’s how this feels to me.”
