Another day, another “best rappers” list that has fans and artists all worked up over the selections. On Tuesday (June 1) RapRadar and MTV’s Brian “B. Dot” Miller posted a tweet revealing his Top 10 picks for the best rappers in 2021 so far. On the list were, in order, Lil Baby, J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Conway, Benny The Butcher, Drake, Freddie Gibbs, Nas, JAY-Z and Jim Jones. The list is respectable, but someone on the list had something to say.
New York Hip Hop star Jim Jones was not happy with his standing. He took to Instagram and reposted the picture of the list, explaining he wants to challenge everyone on there to see who’s deserving of their spot.
“I didn’t make this list but tell @bdottm th list is cute I’m a start chopping this list down one by one lol,” Jones wrote in the caption. “Matters fact put me in th booth wit anyone of these artist and let’s do it live see who’s left standing. Thts how we can really settle this shit like th westerns shoot th booth up.”
He continued, “Makin music is fun till u gotta go head to head I love competition. Anybody wanna rump let me know besides th competition we can make a serious bag turn this into a NFT and everybody walk away wit a bag like a @floydmayweather fight. Yal let me know if any of these artist accept th challenge I’m ready.”
B. Dot’s list got a few journalists feeling a type of way, too, mainly Sowmya Krishnamurthy, who confronted the RapRadar podcast host for the lack of women on the list.
“Now Brian, you’re missing the entire female race,” she tweeted in reply to his list. “Also, the median age of this list is like 40. We gotta stop the ageism and sexism in the rap industry. Please and thank you.”
B. Dot heard her loud and clear and responded with a bit of humor, saying, “you know i’m a misogynist.”
Jim Jones has a right to feel confident after this impressive three-year run he’s been on. Starting with his album, Wasted Talent, in 2018, Jim Jones has shown a vast improvement to his lyrics and production. During his interview with HipHopDX, Capo said he’s pushing out several albums this year to prove a point.
“I got a chip on my shoulder and something to prove to myself, not to nobody else, that I’m way iller than your favorite rapper,” he said with a smirk across his face.
He added, “What used to be a hustle turned into a passion, and my passion turned into my competitive spirit, and me being a competitor, I need to show myself that I am way iller than your favorite rapper.”
Jim Jones ?
Lil Baby? I’m sorry. He isn’t until he same caliber as the anyone in that list. Whole Jim Jones is good. He isn’t out rapping Freddie Gibbs, Nas, or J. Cole. In addition. Female isn’t a race. This list isn’t ageist, or sexist. One of the only real female rappers is Young M.A. if we’re going to spout out the “ists”. Why don’t we say this list is also racist. There’s no Asians, Whites, or Latin rappers on there.
Nah. Sa-Roc Che’ Noir and Rapsody
Lil baby should not be mentioned in the same sentence as the other rappers listed. No disrespect but Lil baby is not an emcee, more of a pop star/entertainer
He should be happy he made the list at all…
Lmao Freddie’s worst track is better than Jimmy’s best. Always been the weakest link in dipset
Nas already told Jones, “Don’t Body Ya Self.”
If delusional was a person it would be Jim Jones! Idk who told him he was any good? Why he on the list with artist like these he straight ?!
jim jones wack ass fuck santana was there only hope
Juelz is a one trick pony.
*Old man yells at the clouds*
He’s gon have big problems when he gets to Gibbs jack
He’s one of those pussies who says things for attention. Everyone knows Nas and Jay are better than everyone on that list….Fuck out of here.
Jim Jones isn’t in anyones top 500 list… He must be paying these sites and bloggers
Man, who the F is Jim Jones? He Is not on the top 1,000 Mc list.
Look besides nas n jayz
Jim Jones will body any one if those dudes
And he got more music than all 8 of them put together…ya tripping dip set was a movement
Conway and Benny are beasts on the mic! I don’t know about that! Capo not beating Con, Benny, Jay, and Nas!
And no go on Gibbs. Gibbs too dope!
What was that woman thinking?? “AGEISM AND SEXISM” lil Baby is the only young cat there, and yes females like Sa-Roc, Rapsody, and Che’ Noir have a chance but haven’t dropped nothing. What does she want? Pete and Bas with Coi Lerae?

Sit down Jenny. 50 years old and still an artist. Such a bum with an ugly mug
He can’t see your comment bum lol
female race??? ‘female’ is a GENDER, not a race. can’t take her seriously after that.
No, Jim…no.
man HELL nah….bruh delusional AF
Lmfao!!!
Jim wouldn’t be in my top 10 at his peak exposure in the early 00’s…dude sucks as a rapper, he should be cheesin at the fact anyone knows who he is in 2021…wtf is this shit
I mean if y’all really heard his projects you’d know that he’s been dropping fire since wasted talent . His latest project with Harry Fraud is hard asf
Idk if he really wants it with everybody on this list lol, but Jim is for sure the most improved rapper I’ve ever heard in my life.
There aren’t any female rappers relevant enough to be on this list. Besides Remy, Chika and Rapsody, Megan and Cardi got pop records but low on value of bars and penmanship. Its also interesting to see the diff genres Trap/Drill and Boom-Bap take top spots. Ill take Nas and Jay over everyone else on the list.
Lil baby is gay
Lil wayne sounds like a grandma
J cole is whack like drake and is for twinks
Conway and benny can spit just cant make good songs
Jay z is a sjw
Nas supports lil nas x
Freddie is ok
And
Jim has gotten better
Overall a bad list
Anyone who states Cole is wack has zero credibility,lol
You could take all them wrappers and put them in a group and they still ain’t out wrapping Eminem yeah the real Slim Shady Marshall Mathers
foh he will get smoked too
He won’t
TF???? Jim Jones….just stop it.
This is the first time anyone anywhere has put jim jones on a top 10 list and he complains about his position lol. Be thankful someone actually has you in their top 10 when you clearly dont even belong on a top 500 list lmao
I like Capo but he talkin a whole lot but ain’t sayin nuthin. He throwing out a gauntlet to a whole bunch of up n comin rappers save for a few so of course he gone clear at least half the list. He need to be callin out some NY royalty. Who else but King Tekashi. I bet is 6ix9ine would body him one on one.
And Gibbs just dissed Jones on the new Lloyd Banks album. Looks like it’s gonna be a hot summer
Take a fuk’n shower, Jones.
