https://www.vladtv.com – The King of Hip-Hop debate is one that will probably go on until the end of time as more artists emerge and make their way towards icon status, but for the past few decades it’s always been the same group of rappers who remain talked about. Eminem, Rakim, Jay Z and Tupac are a part of that list, but many (including Lord Jamar, Star, and Dr. Boyce Watkins) can never collectively decide who is the King. if you ask Charlamagne, Eminem is “just not.”

Though he respects Slim Shady’s music, the TV personality/radio host feels “artists who have had more of a cultural impact” like Biggie, 2pac and Jay Z are more deserving of the title. “Those are the three most influential rappers ever,” Charlamagne confidently states. According to him, Jay Z should be given the title overall. “Ima give it to Hov, but I can easily see why you would give it to ‘Pac too.”

Charlamagne also lists Ghostface Killah, Killer Mike, Jeezy and Nas among his favorites. Let us know who your top rappers are and who you feel deserves the King of Hip-Hop title below.
