Former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson is incredibly gifted in many aspects. However, properly ranking music artists isn’t one of them.
In celebration of his 60th birthday, the NBA great decided to give his Twitter followers numerous top 60 lists of everything from television shows to athletes-turned-entrepreneurs.
However, it was his music lists that seem to have driven Twitter the nuttiest.
In a sea of recent Hip Hop lists, Magic’s seemed to satisfy purists, including names like Kool Moe Dee and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. There are also numerous female acts included such as MC Lyte, Salt-N-Pepa and Lil’ Kim.
Though it becomes clear that after No. 4 he’s just listing artists alphabetically rather than committing to actual ranking, some understandably missed the rationale.
You can check out all of his lists below. Happy Birthday, Magic.
Even though it looks in alphabetical order that was a good list.
Huh?? 1-4, then everyone else is listed in alphabetical order? All of his lists are like that then in alphabetical order. What a fucking idiot. Thanks for you awesome lists. Did you compile these on one of your off days as the lakers gm?
No R Kelly? LMAO. List invalid with the King of RnB.
Anyone who puts Rick Ross instead of 50 cent should die with AIDS
Ross has a deeper discog. 50 has a handful of good songs, sounds like he has a sock in his mouth when he raps and is a snake.
Fake fairy tales don’t make a deep discography. The bottom line is he wasn’t that dude. So an individual cannot listen to Ross and be inspired by myths. Don’t say persona shit. He never even saw a killer before he was a Police officer. He a pig. Pigs kill black people. We should not support him period
You think 50 Snake has done everything he has said he has? And every other rapper? LMAO!
‘Pigs kill black people’. HAHAHAHA. Brainwashed much? They kill white criminals as well. It just doesn’t make the news as prominently waiting for you to be outraged.
I won’t argue with you. Aids damages the brain. Magic has brain damage to include Ross. He used to fakeness. Fake bitches gave him Aids in the 80s that’s why he listens to Ross
Ross has better albums then 50. 50s last good album was the massacre
Now everyone on that list has HIV. Thanks Magic.
LOOOOOOL at Magic’s son
U can’t live in LA and listen to Rick Ross (the fake Suge)…that’s like someone in the Bay Area listening to Ja Rule instead of 2Pac
I understand that everyone is entitled for their own opinion… but the question is, is DJ Khaled a rapper? and you put him at number 16 on a top 60 list with many greats below him? LMAO
Alphabetical
How do you put groups on a list of top emcees? And also put A DJ on the list? And also put Diddy in the top 10. And also put Big Sean in the top 10. C’mon son?!
Magic riding down bumping bone thugs and 2pac thug love
No R.Kelly in the list !!!
No Rkelly is like fake list. I do not pay any attention to it period. It is like a rap list without Nas. Move on people this list is trash!
RKelly ran the R&B tip and hip hop list for decades! I do not care what the F he did! Kelly is number 1! F all that silly shit! Dude than this shit in your bedroom, in your kitchen, garage, and dinner and back yard parties! No other artist can come close! F out of here! You feel me!!!!
Magic found the secret to no aids and no aging
yes. you cant put a personal preference list together unless ‘gifted’. slow day at the office?
The 60 hip hop artist list is very INCOMPLETE without The Game
