Polo G let it be known how great he considers his talent when he named his sophomore album The GOAT, but his sentiments aren’t reserved solely for himself.
In a new interview with the Grammy Academy, the Chicago native named Tupac and Lil Wayne as the artists he considers the greatest of all time.
“To me, arguably Tupac,” Polo said. “That’s considering that he was before his time and he is the inspiration to a lot of great minds today. And then I could say another person like Lil Wayne just because of the long run that he had and being the best of the best for a long time and just the influence that he had on a lot of great minds today. So those my two GOATs.”
In addition to Wayne and Pac, Polo also revealed he listened to a lot of Gucci Mane and Meek Mill when he was growing up, as well as local Chicago artists.
“I listened to the city heavy,” he emphasized.
The GOAT was released in May at debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 99,000 album-equivalent units. The 16-track effort features appearances from the late Juice Wrld, NLE Choppa, Mustard, Lil Baby, BJ The Chicago Kid and Stunna 4 Vegas and has since been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

N****, Shut up
N****, Shut Up Too
N****, Shut Up Too
y’all niiqqaz should get this into yo skull… 2pac and Lil Wayne should be consider as GOAT cuz they did a lot in their prime by paving ways for lame ass today in music industry
Pac from Harlem yo, Polo from the Boogie down its only right he gives it up to NY goat even though he repped the west coast hard during the final year of his life. You have to admit and I know for some of y’all you don’t want to accept this but Drizzy and Weezy are pretty much the leaders of this musical era for hip hop. Stunna ain’t respected enough and Master P said it best they give you your flowers once you’re dead but don’t even give you soup when you’re sick. Had the baddest chick in the game in Nicki for a decade strong. Now he’s got Cash Money West expanding his brand with Wack.
