Busta Rhymes gives names for the greatest rappers ever list.
Busta Rhymes continues the promo run for his new album “Blockbusta” as he made an appearance on Amazon Music’s +44 Podcast for an interview with hosts Sideman and Zeze Millz.
During the conversation, the rap icon was asked about the emcees he would pick for the greatest rappers ever list. “Greatest rapper ever? I don’t think I have one. I could say five. Rakim. Some might disagree with me but Nas,” he said. “I would say Eminem. I’m starting to feel like there some new guys that are starting to go into that list to me. I’m almost there with J. Cole but I’m still torn between him and Kendrick. I’m talking about only bars. If Kendrick was to get active in the same way that Cole is being active, it would be a way different conversation but again, I’m torn between Cole and Kendrick, but it would be one of them two”
He continued, “I still didn’t put none of them two in the fourth place. I was just saying that it was gonna be a new guy cause they are really starting to really earn their right to passage and to be in the top 5 greatest of all time to me. I would definitely say JAY-Z. I’m Biggie bias. I’m Biggie bias because I think what he has done between two albums everybody obviously had an opportunity to work way longer than him and they still can’t top what he has done in two albums. I think that’s my list.”
In a recent interview on the Breakfast Club, Busta Rhymes showed the desire to collaborate with J. Cole, Drake, JID and more. “I ain’t work with Cole yet, I wanna work with Cole. I’m a huge fan of J. Cole,” he said. “I’m a huge fan of JID. JID is crazy. Big shout out to JID. Huge fan of Drake. Love to work with Drake.”
