Cam’ron and Ma$e have revealed their top three white rappers of all time.
As the internet debates who belongs on the Mount Rushmore of caucasian MCs, the It Is What It Is co-hosts offered their two cents during the latest episode of their sports talk show on Tuesday (April 15).
Asked by co-host Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson for their top three white rappers, Ma$e answered: “Who’s the guy from Philly that’s signed to Jadakiss [Millyz]? Eminem first, of course. And then you got MGK or Yelawolf. Who you think is better, Killa?”
Cam replied: “I’ma go MGK ’cause he’s my man. No disrespect to Yelawolf, I just don’t know a lot of his music.”
Ma$e also gave an honorable mention to the Beastie Boys, but felt compelled to amend his list after forgetting about one white rapper in particular.
“I forgot about Jack Harlow! I gotta do my list over. Jack Harlow is definitely up there,” he said.
Cam’ron issued a more thoughtful answer, saying: “Well, Eminem’s definitely number one for me. And then you gotta think about people who pushed the culture forward for white rappers in a time where white rappers really wasn’t being accepted.
“I’ma go with 3rd Bass as a group […] It’s not like they had Eminem lyrics and shit, but they had the Black community when it was really hard for a white person to excel in the Black community. People were like, ‘Fuck outta here’ when Vanilla Ice came around.”
The Dipset legend added: “My third pick is — God bless the dead — Mac Miller […] Jack Harlow’s definitely up there as well but I wouldn’t put him above the three people that I named. I think he’s at the fourth spot, but I think he’s really, really dope.”
Cam also admitted that he “wasn’t really a big Beastie Boys fan, to be totally honest with you. To me, they were more rock ‘n’ roll than rap.”
Though Machine Gun Kelly has the backing of Cam’ron and Ma$e, he was missing from a viral post about the best white rappers that has been circulating social media.
An AI-generated an image of a white rapper Mount Rushmore featured Eminem, Mac Miller, Paul Wall and Russ, leading to MGK feeling slighted.
He responded to the post by saying: “Me not on the white rapper mt rushmore is blasphemy.”

Meanwhile, Cam’ron recently revealed that he regrets not working with Eminem during his rap career.
Asked on his YouTube show Talk with Flee about artists that he wished he had collaborated with, Cam answered: “There was a time, probably when we first came out in the late ’90s, early ’00s, I wanted to work with Eminem when his career was taking off and my career with Dipset was taking off.
“I wanted to do a record with Eminem because he’s super-duper lyrical. I can be super-duper lyrical. I dumb a lot of my shit down for my audience but I thought that would have been a sensational record.”
He also mentioned a fellow New York rap legend, saying: “The other person would be Nas. That would be the other artist I would have loved to work with at one time.”
R A the rugged man is WAY nicer than mgk(no disrespect to mgk)& vinnie paz should be considered with tom McDonald, ryan upchurch,mad child & any under ground emcees being over looked.because of their skin color…like necro
Marky Mark 1
Upchurch better
Bubba Sparxxx entered the chat.
Nah
Eminem. Necro. Action Bronson. Yelawolf. These motherfuckers are sleeping they ain’t even mentioning Necro or AB🖕
Only one of those artists is white though. Necro and Action Bronson are small hats and Yelawolf is a redskin.
Rittz and Chris Webby
Aesop Rock and El-P are better than anyone they named. Em included.
R.A., Ill Bill, Action Bronson and even Serch…So many better choices than Yellow Wolf and Wack Harlow.
This just proves that Mase and Cam dont really listen to white rappers.
1. Eminem 2. Beastie Boys 3. Everlast imo
Apathy and celph title
Wheres my man Weird Al at?

Evidence
Mt. Rushmore isn’t the four greatest presidents. It’s the four with the most influence. Using that criteria I have…
1. Eminem- Showed you can be white and still be exceptional lyrically. Also I would say is the first white rapper to be accepted universally
2. Beastie Boys- First successful white rappers. Really opened the flood gates for white rappers to get signed
3. Russ- First white rapper who incorporated singing.
4. mgk- Really was the first white rapper to sing and rap at a high level. Also was able to genre blend better than any rapper before him.
No Yellwolf did it before MGK and became famous way earlier.
It’s Em, Mac, Paul Wall, and not Russ (but he is dope.) I’d say Rittz or El-P. Vinnie and Ev (is he white?) are fire too but not over those two. MGK is ok, but nah he fell off imo. Beastie’s all due respect, but no.
Vinnie Paz more influential than Rus and MGK or McMiller. R.A the rugged man is probably the best white rapper followed by Apathy. Eminem deserves to be up there.
MGK doesn’t even rap since he got bullied out of the genre six years ago, what is he even talking about? As a rapper he’s okay, not bad but nothing special either. I like some of his songs but I’ve never heard something that stuck with me or made me think “Man I need to check for new MGK”. Russ on the other hand can actually sing, still raps and didn’t feel the need to abandon hip hop to make cheesy pop punk music. MGK doesn’t even get respect in that genre either seeing as he moved over and p***ed off fans and musicians with his attitude there too. He isn’t better than a lot of white rappers who didn’t even make the list. El-P, RA Tha Rugged Man, Aesop Rock, Brother Ali, NF, Vinnie Paz… If we’re talking influence throw Beastie Boys in there too. MGK’s ego really is making him delusional.
Eminem, Action, Everlast, Yelawolf, El-P
@Vivs Solid. ✊🏽
The fact they don’t even speak about riff Raff just proves how jealous they are

Riff Raff has sole handedly created this whole swag genre together with Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne . No one has more complex swag than riff Raff . He’s just too progressive to be even mentioned cause he’s on another level . They scared
Weird. I guess it’s okay for black people to separate white people but imagine it was the other way around. The tears could fill the Hoover Dam.
It’s also hilarious they need to separate white from black cuz whites do it better.
So true . The backlash is coming tho
Everlast, Awol-One, The Grouch, Necro, Sole, Mr. Eon of The High and Mighty, Blood of Abraham, RA the Rugged Man
Yelawolf over MGK all day.
1. Vanilla Ice 2. Brian Austin Green 3. Kevin Federline
