One of rap’s favorite past times is debating some kind of all-time list!
This morning on Ebro in the Morning, Ebro and Rosenberg decided to respond to a Top 50 rappers of all time list that began to trend online after Joe Budden was named at number three on the list.

They did so, by writing a list of their own during Ebro in the Morning which they worked, and reworked on multiple times.
. @oldmanebro & @Rosenbergradio release “The REAL Top 50 Rappers List” On @EBROINTHEAM

Many people have been reacting, and giving their opinions on the list including some artists who didn’t see their name on either list.
Ja Rule was one of the first to react.
“Y’all gone stop disrespecting my body of work…,” he wrote. “I’ve sold more records have more #1 albums and #1 singles than half the great artist on this list… and I think we’re all stil witnessing the IMPACT I’ve had on hip hop!!!”
Swizz Beatz hopped on Instagram to wonder why DMX was not included.
“Solid list,” he began. “Please explain DMX not being on the list. He killed most of your list in person let’s go bnack to the tapes: freestyles King. My Dog 2 Humble!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The Game’s manager Wack 100 wasn’t too excited abot The Gmame being left out.
“You left #TheGame out a top 50,” he exclaimed.
Wale just laughed.
Imagine not havin me and the Bay Area lingo father not in your top 50.. what a cultureless rhinosaurus pizzle https://t.co/Qo4T9qrNRx

Meanwhile, Bun B doesn’t seem to pleased to have been dropped off the original ranking of 36 on the list that also included Joe Budden as number 3.
Legend Rakim also popped in to mention that he should be mentioned in the Top 5.
Listeners have also been giving their two cents on the lists.
This Better Than The One That Had @JoeBudden At Number 3…Joe Can Spit, But He Aint Number 3 Of All Time!!! https://t.co/5LOraGPcog
