The Detroit rapper who brilliantly combines two callings – rap and medicine, offered his obligatory Top 5 rappers of all times list to Fat Joe.
Dr Khan’s list features hip hop icons in everybody’s list, a dipper dive in hip history, a mentor, with whom, Lazarus went on tour around the world and a fellow Detroit star Eminem. Yes, Lazarus went over a little bit, but five MC is just not enough to cover even fundamental influences.
So here is the answer Lazarus gave on Instagram Live and posted later on his account:
My top five rappers of all time. Obviously, Pac and Biggie. That cliché gotta stay in there. Because of the impact they had on me. The genius GZA, who’s also a personal mentor of mine. That’s one of my favourite MCs.
