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.”
