      I’d argue that Hip Hop is different than most other genres of music. 1. You can literally count how many syllables and rhymes rappers have in their rhyme schemes 2. Some rappers are objectively able to tell stories through their music (how good they are at this is somewhat subjective though) 3. You can count the amount of punchlines and wordplay (how good they are is also somewhat subjective). The quality of the music sonically (such as flow, delivery, beat selection etc) is subjective though and that’s where biases kicks in.

      I also think it’s a different conversation when you’re discussing favourites vs greats
      Pac doesn’t make my top 10, maybe even 20 for favourites, but I’m gonna need to hear arguments for why he shouldn’t be top 3 if not THE *greatest* of all time
      Disclaimer: I prefer lyricists and pac never bent words or had an insane flow like say, big pun, big L, Nas, big and slick Rick (in my opinion) are better storytellers
      Snoop has better party anthems
      AZ is easier to listen to

My point still stands. There hasn't been an artist to do blow up like 50 or Em. Not in rap hiphop. Better sure. The only artists to be in that level have been Taylor swift and Beyonce. That's it.
