Magoo is receiving his flowers on social media right now – even though things started off quite differently.
On Saturday (May 16), a Twitter user shared quite the hot take on Timbaland’s rap partner. With a clip of the Virginia native’s verse from his and Timbo’s 1997 hit “Luv 2 Luv U,” the woman declared Magoo the worst to ever hit a mic.
“Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the WORST rapper to ever exist,” the woman wrote with crying emojis.
This immediately prompted a response from people who were around to see the “Up Jumps Da Boogie” rapper in his prime, quick to note that his bars were practically elite compared to some of the music being released today.

“Correction: He was below average THEN,” personality Van Lathan wrote in response. “Looking back on it. We were lucky to have him. At least the nigga was actually rapping.”
Another Twitter user chimed in to praise Magoo’s bars, while reasoning that the original poster and anyone else agreeing were likely too young to experience the music in its heyday. Others offered up alternative options for the “worst” title, throwing other rappers under the bus including Silkk The Shocker, Blueface and even OG rap legend, E-40.
