I still don't know why BIG is a top ten rapper to a lot of ppl.
Fuck u mean? He has two back to back classics. One of the dopest lyricist of all time. His flow was impeccable. Two of his albums are debatably in the 10 top hip hop albums of all time. Fuck is you talking bout.
Lyrically
Nas>big
Flow
Big>nas
Back on topic

Thats more than 50 I could name more as well Lil Wayne is fucking wack.
Yea they can rhyme but can they make songs,… half yo list can't even make songs or a complete album
So in other words its really about mainstream success despite Most of the list having gold/platnium albums and songs to there resume as well as being grammy nominated.
FOH Lil Wayne is overrated garbage.
Do nba players play 2 win the game or to try an win the championship?
You can be the goat ball player but do you have rings?
This make no fucking sense what so ever.
Seeing as the gold/platinum albums and songs in rap = NBA championship
That analogy makes sense.
A "ring" would be a #1 hit, a gold/platinum plaque or a grammy award. And if you get all three in one year I'd consider that a "ring".
I wonder how many rappers got a #1 hit, a platinum plaque and a grammy award all in the span of 12 months?
No #1 hit do not equal a ring. #1 hits if anything is the MVP award. Hundreds of rappers have had a #1 hit. Few rappers have had undisputed classic albums that changed the game and have replay value.
This is the #1 issue with wayne when it comes to his ranking. He had 2 great albums in C1 and C2 but the #1 hits and platinum albums outside C1 and C2 did not stand the test of time. Nor did those albums have a strategic flow and focus to make them as legendary.
Wayne put out a shit ton of material and was flashy and quick like an AI or Russel Westbrook. But that doesn't get you top 10 of all time access. As there are 10 players you could put above AI as far as the NBA all time list.
I'm not saying Wayne is top 10 DOA, but he's achieved tangible accolades
4 Grammy Awards
Best Rap Performance 2017 - No Problem
Best Rap Album 2009 - Tha Carter II
Best Rap Song 2009 - Lollipop
Best Rap Solo Performance 2009 - A Milli
Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group 2009 - Swagga Like Us
4 Platinum albums
The Block Is Hot - Platinum
Tha Carter II - Platinum
Tha Carter II - 3X Platinum
Tha Carter IV - 2X Platinum
1 number one song
Lollipop - May 3, 2008
I don't know how far you want to take the basketball analogy, but if you have 4 Grammys, 4 Platinum albums and a number one song, I'd say you have a "ring". Not saying that makes him top 10 DOA but he's certainly accomplished what any aspiring rapper wants to accomplish.
