Conway The Machine has shared his top 5 rappers of all-time based on the idea of who has the “nicest pen.”

Last week, the former Griselda rapper stopped by The Drop 104.7 in Denver, CO, and was asked by The Maleman about his favorite spitters.

Conway laughed when he heard the prompt around the 10:54 mark, and said: “I’m still gonna give you a top five, but I just wanna say that’s kind of unfair. We’ll never be able to get that right because I can name 20 dudes that’s top 5 worthy.

“Hands down, they top 5. But, for me, I’ma say the nicest pen, the nicest dudes. No order at all. [André] 3000, I’ma say Hov [JAY-Z], I really, really wanna say [2]Pac, but hold on, let me keep thinking. I wanna have Rae and Ghost as one, Raekwon and Ghostface [Killah], it’s a tie … I’m probably gonna go Tunechi [Lil Wayne] and 50 [Cent].”

Conway may have listed his five favorite MCs, but in his mind, there’s no one that has a pen game like his.

Back in May, he staked his claim as the best rapper alive with a teaser for his recently-released album Slant Face Killah — and it starred an unlikely pop star.

Narrated by the closing lines from the cult French film La Haine, much of the clip appears to be set in Paris and even included a cameo from Dua Lipa — who he met in the French capital last fall and called a “great friend.”

Posting the video on Instagram, the rapper boldly declared: “I really did it this time!!! I fucking did it!! I’m iller than all these n-ggas! I can’t wait for y’all to hear this new shit!! SFK FRIDAY.”
