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.

Bird da word
Lil flip is by far worst..
This is the way we ball.. and we like to floss, all my diamonds gloss, I represent the dirty dirty dirty dirty south!
You smoking crack if you think Lil Flip is a bad rapper. He is one of the best from Houston.
Magoo isn’t even the worst rapper, his voice and tone are probably what people aren’t a fan of. Lyrics of his aren’t the worst or best and would put him in the average category. There is plenty of worse than Magoo out there, but worse in what aspect? Annoying voice? Terrible lyrics? What are the qualifications of the worse to you guys?
Silkk the Shocker, Lil Yachty, Shawty Lo, Crunchy Black, Blueface. I actually thought Crunchy Black is the worst of all only before Blueface came up.
Birdman???? Magoo was good, better than all these new mumble rappers
I never understood people not liking him. Maybe they didn’t like his voice? But his bars and flow were solid.
Benzino has to be included somewhere on this list.
Magoo wasn’t wack. Hell no. He was dope enough to be a professional rapper with legit bars. He wasn’t the best but far from wack.
What the Fuc@@@, once again someone who doesn’t know anything about anything WOW
Let’s be honest, Timbo’s beats carried him. If Magoo wasn’t a part of his camp, then more people would be agreeing that he’s one of the wackest or wouldn’t have remembered him at all. His verses were definitely skippable. This is only people looking through nostalgia-filtered lenses and the typical comparisons of “well, at least it’s better than the trash coming out today”. What? So you’ll say the same about Soulja Boy or D4L too? Trash is trash, doesn’t matter what era it’s from.
Maybe not THE wackest rapper but lets not act like this guy was spitting flames lol.
He was subpar but, not the worst. lol
Bullshit. That man had lyrics y’all just didn’t understand because y’all like mumble off beat ass raps that use elementary words

Whackest rapper of all time : Lil B

Magoo sucked by yesteryear’s standards but he could rap and raps way better than the repetitious mumble crap u hear today. Magoo had heavy competition back then too, he was Robin to Timbaland’s Batman.
“goddess” sounds like a fucking moron.
Looking back, Magoo’s voice was embarrassingly high-pitched and nasally. lol Also, his bars were subpar but, he still wasn’t one of the worst rappers (and especially not THE worst rapper).
Someone needs to post her pic and thread for wackest thot on the gram, this chick is popped???
