Snoop Dogg Aint Happy About Billboard’s “10 Greatest Rappers Of All Time” List

Uncle Snoop Dogg wasn't too pleased when Billboard released their "10 Greatest Rappers of All Time" list.  

The highly acclaimed music publication ranked the top ten G.O.A.T. emcees as follows:

1. The Notorious B.I.G.
2. Jay Z
3. Eminem
4. Rakim
5. Nas
6. Andre 3000
7. Lauryn Hill
8. Ghostface Killah
9. Kendrick Lamar
10. Lil Wayne

Billboard provided the following explanation for why the selections were chosen:

Diehard fans, music nerds and critics love lists. But in rap, rankings like this take on a special level of import: aside from moving a crowd (shouts to Rakim), MC means proving you’re the best. In no other genre do artists so blatantly express their desire to outdo competition. 

That made Billboard’s editorial list a more high-stakes undertaking than usual. Many favorites — Kane, Drake, KRS — didn’t make it, and each of those omissions hurts deep down. Note: we’re ranking these folks as MCs, not artists. 

That’s why Dr. Dre and Kanye West, for example, two legendary producer-rappers who don’t match the mic skills of those listed here, were left out. Even Tupac, perhaps the most influential rapper ever globally, is arguably known more for great songwriting than dominant bars.

Uncle Snoop quickly took to Instagram to blast the list not for omitting himself from the list but the fact they failed to include TUPAC. 

This is so disrespectful. !! Whoever did this list need a swift kick in the Ass. No. Tupac. Come on cuz 👞. Jus my opinion

I must agree with Uncle Snoop - Biggie and Pac should be holding down the number 1 spot together. Period.
