Billboard knew their Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list would spark debates, and Ice Cube has something to say about it.
Cube landed at number-18 on the list — not that he cares because as he says, “Billboard ain’t hip-hop, so their opinion don’t matter.” He tells TMZ that lists are irrelevant and “it’s like [butt] holes. Everybody got one and they all stink.” He also took exception to the fact that his old Mount Westmore partner Too $hort was left off the list, even as Snoop Dogg and E-40 made it in. Cube says he keeps his own list and he’s number-one on it.
Here’s the top 10:
10. Nicki Minaj
9. Snoop Dogg
8. Drake
7. Lil Wayne
6. The Notorious B.I.G.
5. Eminem
4. Tupac
3. Nas
2. Kendrick Lamar
1. Jay-Z
