Putting Drake as the best rapper is like saying Candy Crush was the best video game.

I agree with Nicki winning 2014, Pink Print was the best rap/hip-hop album of the year. Also, the queen of rap Cupcakke is gonna come in hot for the 2016 win.

Anaconda is one of the worst rap songs of all time. Ugh.
lol. Are you serious, Pink Print?? First of all, Forest Hills Drive which released in december of that year absolutely dominated Pink Print in every way that year. Pink Print was wack. Anaconda... urgh. Pink Friday is her best work. Nicki Minaj was not the best rapper in any year at all.
I love Drake and Kanye.
But there is not a world in which they have ever been the best rappers on the planet. You can argue best albums. But best Rapper is like best guitarist. It implies a technical expertise or mastery of rapping as an art form. Neither of them are anywhere near the top of the game in that regard.
Also, where the FUCK is Big Boi.

Was talking with a younger employee last week he asks a question and ends it by saying cool? I said "yeah Kool Moe Dee man - I go to work"
He's like whaaaat? So I showed some vids from the 80's- then I ended up not workin and playing them all day. Honestly haven't listened to much of the artists from 2000 on.

We should ban all lists.
For a long time I thought it was him and someone from JM, not him doing both voices.
This is old.
There is no way Nicki was #1 in 2014. Kendrick or Drake or Kanye.
Also, I feel like this would be less controversial if the list was called "Biggest Rapper Alive" rather than "Best Rapper Alive." It's pretty obvious that right now is Drizzy season and that Drake is the biggest rapper in the world. 50 thousand hit singles, #1 selling album, selling out concerts... does that make him the BEST rapper alive? Of course not, even Drake would probably admit that. But he's certainly the biggest right now, with Kanye a close #2.

I mean, if the list was "pop music's biggest rappers of the last 30 years" fine.
But best? Naw.

Kendrick? Sucks? Seriously now.

If new hip-hop consist of nothing more than Kendrick Lamar, then yeah that sucks. I'm not saying Kendrick is bad, either.
Like...Maad City was not the best rap album of 2012. Hard stop.
But to Pimp a Butterfly was probably the best album period of 2015.
We made it.

No way. His two masterpieces are among the best rap albums I've ever heard. He's not an artist that merely stands out due to the so called mediocre competition.
2012 was pretty stacked, though Maad city won the battle.
