it seems like theres usually a couple people that ask the question everyday "who is the goat?" and its mentioned waay more than that within other questions. So my question is why do people feel that there has to be a best rapper of all time. It seems like its the only music genre where people feel this way... thoughts?

  1. People just like to argue


  2. i don't care about a GOAT

  3. i dont believe there can be a GOAT.  time is still going and people are still making hiphop.  sooner or later if hiphop is doing what it should someone is going to come along and knock that person off the top.  it just seems irrelevant to me.  

  4. Cosign HNIC.. Everyone has an idea of who they think the G.O.A.T. is.. Just fu*kin say it instead of bein a p***y about it..

    Edit: Wasn't sayin it to you personally..

    Yeah, HNIC got what I meant..

  5. There has to be someone occupying the spot.  It's inevitable..

  6. i feel u on dis 1 da main ppl dat b sayin it think dey kno everything

  7. i think they do that cuz raps a really competitive subject beefs,diss tracks, most other music genres dont have that at least to my knowledge and some people take anything said bad about there favorite rapper to heart so they feel like they have to almost promote there favorite rapper

  8. Battling is the foundation of hip hop, therefore it is inherently more competitive than any other musical genre.  The reason people spend so much time debating the GOAT is the same reason people debate Michael Jordan vs Magic Johnson or Barry Sanders vs Emmit Smith.

  9. why cant ppl just man up and pick someone who they think is the GOAT instead of saying there isnt one

    its not like this in any other music genre because there is no other genre as competitive as hip hop

  10. I don't think that is true. In alot of other genres of music, people have their greats. They don't call them goats because that is a rap terminology. But there are blues greats, rock greats, jazz greats, and so on. People say that Elvis is/was the king of rock & roll and James Brown was the godfather of soul. I think every music genre has its own terminology for defining their own "greats"

  11. Best "Rapper" of all time: KRS ONE!

    Best Rap group of all time: WU- TANG CLAN!

    Best rap song of all time: '"TRIUMPH"-  WU- TANG CLAN!

    Plenty of others get honorable mention: LL, COMMON, Public Enemy, X- CLAN, GRANDMASTER FLASH AND THE FURIOUS FIVE....
