Study shows Eminem is the most named rapper in Top 5 rappers lists

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.

From quantifying literary devices in rap lyrics with my Rap Genius 2.0 Concept…” – said Svilen Kostadinov . Check out the list below.
