Eminem is no stranger to greatest-rapper-of-all-time lists. The Detroit MC is seldom left out of people’s top 5 lists. On Sunday morning, he tweeted a list of his own.
South Carolina-based YouTuber NoLifeShaq posed the question Saturday night. For a video, he reached out to 30 rappers via direct message to ask their opinion on the greatest rapper of all-time. While he reached out on Instagram, Eminem surprised Shaq by responding on Twitter.
His all-time list came out with no ranked order, but Eminem considers Lil Wayne, 2Pac, Royce da 5’9″, Redman, Treach, Kool G Rap, Notorious B.I.G. and Kxng Crooked to be among the greatest of all time. Eminem followed up by throwing an honorable mention to LL Cool J, nas, Joyner Lucas, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Andre 3000, Rakim and Big Daddy Kane.
Eminem has also referred to 2Pac as “the greatest songwriter of all time.” Just a month before sharing his complete list, he gave Pac his flowers on a “Music to Be Quarantined By” radio program on his Sirius XM Shade 45 station, playing “If I Die 2Nite.”
