Quote:Who else would be, there hasn't been another rapper to have as much consistency at a high level as he has for as long as he has.  The only other rapper that would even come to mind is Nas, but Nas has way too many throwaway albums to match up (Nastradamus, that throwaway QB album, and pretty much anything after god son).  The rest of the typical line up Em, Big, and Pac don't fit because, Em clearly fell off after TES, Big has 2 albums, and Pac's albums are plagued with his weed carriers who had no right to take up space.  

 

Some outliers like Scarface, Common, Rakim, Cube, Snoop, Ghost are just a level under GOAT imo.  Hovito is GOAT just because nobody else fits the bill.  imo at least.
