it should be who's the top 5 from the east, west, south, midwest, then narrow it down from there.

I got to interject but wrong with Tupac. as far as sample size, he had many albums and continued to put out music. after he was gone he had at least several albums

It also depends on the context of your top 5. Some people base it on the literal skill of rhyming, some base it on career and impact, some base it on body of work. Different artists fit into different categories. Like Kanye is a lock in top 5 Hip Hop ARTIST of all time but I don’t think he’s necessarily a top 5 rapper.

Saying Pac has a small samples size of music is wild. Biggie only had 2 albums, Pac on the other hand😂

Old head here: we will never put Drake or Kanye in our top five because of their reliance on ghostwriters. I do however, agree that hip-hop did not crystalize in 1996, and we should be able to update our rankings accordingly. The difficulty lies in the loss of a monoculture. With the exception of Kendrick there are no other consensus greats.
