While celebrating his 26th birthday, Compton, California rapper Tyga appeared on Power 106 Los Angeles for a brief interview. During his appearance, he was asked to share his thoughts on Billboard’s newly-released “10 Greatest Rappers Of All Time” list.
In regards to the list, he suggested that the list was dated and would have made more sense if it was released in 2005. He also named Drake, who he previously feuded with, and J. Cole as two artists who should receive their credit when it comes to such a list.
“My thing is I think that you can’t put Kendrick on there and not put—See, it’s different because it’s like I just feel like this is a lot of older people,” Tyga said. “So, it’d be like the greatest rappers of all time if this came out [in] 2005. You gotta give Drake his credit. You gotta give J. Cole credit. As far as new…It’s their magazine. And that’s their opinion. Another magazine [would] put out a different opinion.”
Tyga later spoke on an artist’s ability to really contribute to the genre. He named Jay Z, Kanye West, Birdman, and Lil Wayne as artists who have contributed to the game by putting other artists on.
“Jay Z, when you look back at it, he gave us A, B, and C. He gave us Kanye. Kanye gave us Common, Big Sean. Birdman gave us Wayne, Juvenile. Wayne gave y’all me, Drake, Nicki. And then so on. You know what I mean? So, it’s like who’s really contributing to the game when it’s all said and done,” the rapper said.
man..these wack rappers…adding there two cents…
The double standard in rap is amazing. Tygas a fucking pedophile and Rick Ross was a cop. 2 pac went to a white kid school and was Peter Pan in plays. Kanyes mom was a fucking Doctor. Drakes from an affluent area of Canada. Major fuckin identity crisis here. Hip hop is becoming the new gay/lesbian community, if you don’t know who you are or where to fit in, become whoever you want in rap.
What the fuck does pac being in peter pan plays in high school have to do with what he became later in life u dumb fool? Do u know his entire story?? Is that what made him…a peter pan play?? You are a smart dumb nigga to the fullest. Take this L and eat the shit n before u speak on who is who stufy them first n reLize why shit turns out how it does u ignorant spec of ass hair
I guess if your parents we not failures in life you can’t be a rapper? There is nothing wrong with someone growing up with two parents in the house, money instead of food stamps, and a library card instead of a pack of crack rocks to sell.
Don’t talk about pac taking ballerina he told the world that….he told the truth he told us he tried to sell drugs didn’t know how…and Kanye told u he love his mom bro…he never was on no gangster shit….hip hop is about the truth …they spoke it breathed it ate it…dnt put them in category wit Ross tyga and drake… pac Kanye didn’t have it like them
True fans speak
Yeah Drake should be somewhere on that list but he seems kinda fake to me.
“Kanye have us Common…” Don’t speak on history if you don’t know it.
*gave
K. Cole and drake are homo who make music for bitches
That’s an oxy-moron…… moron
They are gay men who make music females love make sense to me
I just decided a couple of months ago that Common would be on my all time list. His catalog is amazing

Kanye Put on Common? My nIgga you Sus.. GTFOH can’t even keep an 18 hoe in check, not to mention your sexuality.. Cole, Drake not nearly on Kendrick level… but Kdot donot need to be on this list.. if its greatest of all time.. KRS 1, Rakim, LL, Pac/Big, EM, Nas, Jay, Cube, Andre 3000, rapsody
rapsody ????? not kendrick but rapsody? cmon son
True shit
Common was out years before Kanye hip hop is a weird place historically right now.
Internet and 24/7 hip hop news is a gift from whatever deity you believe in, but the downside is that we get articles about what people like Tyga think.
How fitting is “i used to love h.e.r” now…
Indeed dawg*long live the 80s & 90s*
We all know this nigga won’t ever make the list. why is he still on? #DropHIm
Did this nigga say Kanya gave us common…what
Wayne has had the best Music career possible based solely off music…I Don’t Really See A catelog That Competes…he’s actually the only rapper compared to pac based on worth ethic…
