Eminem revealed the names of the greatest rappers many times: in his songs and in his interviews. He did it again, this time on Twitter.
This time his response was provoked by Shaquille Davis, better known as No Life Shaq, YouTube hip hop commentator. No Life Shaq sent direct messages to 30 rappers asking them the same question: “Who is the greatest rapper of all-time?”. And made a video where he mostly goes through the list of people who did not respond to this message. Eminem, naturally, is the one who did not get involved in the conversation.
He, however, replied to him publicly with a tweet:
For me, in no particular order… Toss up between wayne, pac, royce, jay, redman, treach, g. rap, biggie & king crook….
Plus redman, LL, nas, joyner, kendrick, cole, andre, rakim, kane…

All these names Eminem has already mentioned as outstanding rappers but this is probably the first time when he places his friends and collaborators Royce da 5’9″ and KXNG Crook side by side with 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G. and Lil Wayne.
