An all too familiar debate was brought up as Migos and Lil Yachty swapped questions as part of NME’s “Band vs Band” series.
The quartet of Atlanta wordsmiths concluded their candid chat by discussing their picks for the greatest rapper of all time. Their choices for G.O.A.T. floated between André 3000, Kendrick Lamar, and Jay Z.
Offset’s pick was Outkast rapper André 3000, explaining, “I like him that much as a rapper.”
Takeoff responded by picking Kendrick Lamar, a choice that Yachty later seconded.
Quavo, who was adamant about his pick for Jay Z, revealed that his appreciation for Hov grew with age.
“My mans Jay Z is the greatest rapper right now, bro. Straight up,” Quavo said. “You can’t mess with Jay when it’s time to come play. And on some real shit. It took me a couple of years to grow. And understand that Jay is the guy. I didn’t understand that shit when I was in eleventh grade, twelfth grade. I didn’t understand it.”
The Migos rapper later stressed that “You can’t put the greatest on timing.” Adding that “A nigga can come out tomorrow and be the greatest rapper alive.”
The group of rappers also discussed the future of rap, with Lil Yachty expressing his confidence in their roles in the future of the genre.
“The future of rap, that’s all us … We taking over both waves. We got the streets,” Lil Yachty said.
The special ed class of pop rap should not be allowed to debate about real hip hop.
I had to boycott the migos because they are a bunch of homophobes.
Yet they wear ball hugging pants and sport Ladies purses..go figure. Butt ugly and talentless crack babies.
they are the voice of a new generation like it or not , also they lyrics are wack, they are fake personas, theyr style is a copy, they are feminine as fuck, they are repetitive and stupid
How they not gonna consider Gucci Goat when they basically got there whole style and sound from him
They’re right that Kendrick is the goat
im sorry but he isint. kendrick is in my top 3 but even if i dont like eminems music, he’s unbeatable. EMINEM WOULD DESTROY KENDRICK in a rap battle and i am willing to bet my house on that
Prepare to be homeless homie
Mann they don’t believe that….theybjust said Jay and Kendrick so the fans wouldn’t get upset but in reality they think Gucci and Future are the rap gods
I am sure that Migos do not have the same fan base as K. Dot and Jay Z! I am very sure of that.
i agree with oas
i care what a bunch of naggots think, said no one, ever.
Eminem jay z biggie 2pac are the goat
they WERE the goat of their time. not anymore, get that thru your head
Why are u so butthurt over my opinion grow the fuck up
Today hip hop is a bunch of rappers who can’t rap but mumble a bunch of stupid shit that nobody understands
“Goat of their time” LoL. You do know what GOAT stands for right ?
JUST A TITLE FOR THIS BUNCH:- Birdman, Lil wayne, T.I, Gucci Mane, 2 chainz, Khalifa, Drake, Pusha T, Yo Gotti, Tyga, A$ap Mob, Joey Badass, Childish Gambino, Travis Scott, Chance The Rapper, Desiigner, Wale, Big Sean, French Montana, Kodak Black, Rae Sremmurd, Fetty Wap, OT Genasis, Bobby Juicy J, Migos, Rich Gang, Lil Yachty, Quavo, Ace Hood, Bobby Schmurda.
But….But…..
Jay Z and Kendrick Lamar DIDN’T create Slim Shady LP and Marshal Mathers LP….
So……
But Jay created Reasonable Doubt, Volume 2: Hard Knock Life, The Blueprint and The Black Album. Kendrick made Section.80, GKMC, TPAB, and DAMN., soooo…. Only a hipster dufus, would use your logic. Why do you go binge on some Kenny Rogers Roasters chicken and apply some Tiger Balm to this sick burn I just gave you?
So you just said “The quartet of Atlanta wordsmiths”, definition of wordsmith is “a skilled user of words”. Which one of that quartet has ever used a word skilfully? Oi Hiphop DX get some new staff who can write facts about Hip hop. Not this gossip bollocks with pop artists
everyone dissing migos and the boat, but what if they really do enjoy listening to the ones they said? you don’t know them like that and you don’t know what they like to listen to. get off their dicks.
Shutcha bish azz mouth.
They more suited to Jupiter. Delusional Dickheads
These lean sipping down syndrome ass rapping crack babies opinion has no clout or credibility to be naming GOATS of rap
Nasir Jones anyone?
Fuck outta here, you broke Nas stan. It’s all about Shawn Carter, aka King HOV.
Soul Trader, eh?
EEsco Esco Esco Esco Esco Esco Esco Esco Esco
Hova Hova Hova Hova Hova Hova Hova Hova Hova
anyone who considers kendick the goat is a bitch! eminem is the goat you may not agree but he is. kendick is not even in the top 5
Tracks like take it in blood, the message, I gave you power, no ideas original, rewind, one mic, destroy and rebuild, 2nd childhood alone make Nas the greatest.
Tracks like Dead Presidents, D’evils, Where I’m From, Squeeze 1st, Takeover, Never Change, Grammy Family Freestyle, We Made It, Drug Dealers Anonymous alone proves that King HOV shits all over that broke bum Nas.
Nas easily! No rapper is F with Nas Escobar period!
