This week, Billboard triggered a shockwave in the Hip Hop community with the release of their two lists that ranked “The 10 Greatest Rappers of All Time” and “The 10 Greatest Hip-Hop Beats of All Time.” The first of the two lists instigated widespread debate among Hip Hop fans and spectators alike, mostly for the exclusion of Tupac Shakur. Various cultural personalities later weighed in and offered their thoughts on the list, including Snoop Dogg, Ghostface Killah and more.
