Biggie, JAY-Z, Nas and “The Big 3” — Drake, J. Cole & Kendrick Lamar — all failed to make the top 5 on a recent Family Feud episode that asked contestants to name the best rapper of all time.
As matter of fact, only B.I.G. and Hov even made the ultimate list of 8 rappers who popped up on the survey; prompting even host Steve Harvey to comment that, clearly, the 100 people surveyed to determine the answers were not Hip Hop heads.
In a clip captured by a viewer and shared on TikTok, a member of singer Meghan Trainor’s team chimes in first to reply to Harvey’s question — “Who is the greatest rapper of all time?” — with a very confident, “J. Cole.”
However, to everyone’s surprise, Cole’s name doesn’t appear on the list at all. A member of the opposing team, led by Tori Kelly, then suggests Kendrick, who was also left completely off the list; as was Lil Wayne.
It wasn’t until the fourth guess, during which a member of Team Tori offered 2pac, that a single answer appeared on the survey board; he came in at number two. Kelly’s father then took a stab at it with Biggie as his answer, and found him in the number 8 slot.
JAY-Z came in as the 8th and final most popular answer, while Nas and Drake — both suggested by contestants — didn’t make the cut at all. Ice Cube was also offered as an incorrect answer.
“We in Rhode Island again, where we at?,” quips Harvey, suggesting the location where the survey might have taken place. He later tells Tori Kelly, “You’re thinking as a Hip-Hop head. I don’t think that’s who answered these questions.”
The final list, according to those who answered Family Feud‘s poll were, in order from first to last: Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Eminem, Dr. Dre, LL Cool J, B.I.G., 50 Cent, and Hova.
“I just wanna apologize to the entire Hip Hop community,” Harvey jokes right before revealing the list. “JAY-Z’s last, what in the world?”

@iamhwd Bruh 🥴🤣 who are they surveying for #FamilyFeud ⁉️
Steve says Jay-Z is last because he is last on the list. He was not left off of the list
Steve says Jay-z is last because he is last on the list. He was not left off…
Pac, Nas, JayZ, BIG, Lil Wayne
My list- 1. Diddy 2. Ja Rule 3. Meek Mill 4. Lil Nas X 5. Tekashi. I got some of the legends and some of the current goats.
That over-rated af weird ass sounding robot Kendrick who raps like he’s being electrocuted isn’t even a top 10 rapper ever. Kendrick LAMEr only gets jacked by Californians who laughably over hype the shit out of him. He’s just an average rapper in every other place in America. ADrake and J Cole ain’t top 10 ever either and top 5 is just beyond laughable. Nas, Em, Pac, Big, Jay all are easily above them. Throw in undeniable legends like Rakim, Kane, KRS and lothers from the 80s and 90s there’s no way Drake, Cole, Lamer make the top 10.
Eminem is not the greatest rapper he is a good emcee but sometimes his music is boring. I don’t want to hear about Hailee, or Kim or his mom etc…his lyrics more shock value and his rap beefs were wack, nick cannon, Christia Aguilera, Mariah Carrey, mobey, benzino etc. Has he ever dissed somebody relevant in hip hop ? Way overrated. Lyrically and battle wise he is great which is really the only time I listen to his music. Em stans get super upset trying to convince everyone he the best of all-time he is not top 10 of all time that goes to 2pac, biggie, DMX, Nas, Big Pun or Big L, jay z, ice cube, andre 3000, etc
@KendrickLamer give it a rest gay greg, Drake isn’t gonna bang you. Stop liking your own comments too, little guy
@Feminem (how original smh) DMX over Em? 😭😭 Not even close X doesn’t have the bars to compete with Em lyrically. X is just barking on tracks with his energy but he doesn’t have great lyrics. Pun and Big L are both dope lyricists but they both died young so they don’t have the catalogs to compete with Em. Andre 3000 is playing flutes these days and has always been over rated. He’s good but not as great as everyone makes him out to be. He’s a part time rapper who is more known for “Hey Ya” than his lyrical prowess. Also, I didn’t say Em was the greatest rapper “ever” what I said was he’s a much better rapper than wack ass Kendrick LAMEr. Em’s catalog is far superior to Kendricks and since you disagree you don’t really know shit about rap music. Em been killing shit since the mid 90’s and he’s still going in 2024. Only corny Californians jack Kendrick he ain’t hitting nowhere else on the map. And to the idiot who keeps calling me “gay Greg” I’m not gay Greg dumb dumb but it sounds like you’re a gay Greg groupie you jacking him dumb hard fool.
@gay Greg lives his daddy Drake. Learn how to read properly fuktard. The commenter clearly said Drake ISN’T IN HIS TOP 10 EITHER. Is you stupid or is you dumb
Black Thought, André 3k, Lupe Fiasco, Eminem, Nas
This idiot wrote both Biggie and Jay-Z in the 8th slot. Holy crap this site is trash.
It took you this article to realize that? 😭😭 This site been doo doo for YEARS
Without order, Em, Pac, Biggie, Nas, Jay, Wayne, Cole, Kendrick, Andre, Red Man.
