People forget that Nelly had the charts on lock for a few years. If I'm not mistaken Nelly first two albums went diamond and he had the girl songs for days which chart like crazy. W that said this list is not based on rap skills, just charting

Lmao dumbass wanker, they ain't doing scientific research

"Let's send this nelly album to Mars to see if they communicate via country grammar. If they don't then we'll send either a future or young thug mixtape. Science!"

You're corny as fuck, mate.

Also, guys, like it or not, Billboard's purpose is to crunch numbers and find out things like this, if anyone would know it would be Billboard. What exactly do you all do again that makes you an authority on this shit?

I dont see what the big deal is. They're not saying he's the greatest rapper of all time. They're saying he's the greatest aka most popular rapper in Hot 100 history which by their standards he is.

These all-time rankings are based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 (from its launch on Aug. 4, 1958 through Oct. 10, 2015) and Billboard 200 (from Aug. 17, 1963 — when we combined our two leading pop album album charts for stereo and mono releases into one all-encompassing weekly chart — through Oct. 10, 2015). Titles are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower rungs earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates over various periods. Artists are ranked based on the combined point totals, as outlined above, of all their Hot 100 or Billboard 200 chart entries.

Thats bs. Drake has the most #1s in the history of music.

Not saying I like Drake, but he has the most #1s.

Drake has the most songs #1 on the rap charts. Not billboard 100
