Last year, Designer and Analyst Svilen Kostadinov decided to do a research on Top 5 Rappers debate to elucidate once and for all who is the greatest rapper of all times as he maps out every rapper’s Top 5 GOAT list to see who’s the most mentioned name. The list is compiled through only rapper’s opinions, no generational discrimination, and no self-nominations. According to the research, Eminem is the most mentioned rapper in other artists’ lists.
“Rule #7 of the Hip Hop barbershop talk handbook states that any discussion sufficiently long will inevitably lead to the the infamous “Top 5 rappers, dead or alive” debate. If you’ve followed my work over the years, you know visualizing hip-hop intangibles is kind of my forte. From quantifying literary devices in rap lyrics with my Rap Genius 2.0 Concept…” – said Svilen Kostadinov . Check out the list below.
1. Eminem – 32 points
2. Notorious B.I.G – 30 points
3. Jay Z – 29 points
