Since last month, Billboard and Vibe have been rolling out their top rappers of all time in honor of Hip-Hop's 50th birthday, and yesterday (Feb. 8), they dropped their final 10 picks.

Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Nas, Drake Eminem, The Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac made the top 10, with Jay-Z claiming the top spot. Of course, fans had thoughts about the list and Jay's placement at #1. Ranked lists are always subjective, and Billboard and Vibe's top 50 rankings have naturally been the source of a lot of chatter and objections over the course of its rollout.

Jay's “longevity, the breadth of his accomplishments, and what he’s meant to Hip Hop from a musical, cultural and financial standpoint for the last three decades” was cited as the reasoning for his #1 position, and some fans agreed. “Absolutely. Nobody has as many consistently amazing hip hop records as HOV,” one person reacted on Twitter. Another fan concurred, “Wayne himself says jay is the GOAT I don’t know why yall pressed [crying face emojis].” To date, Jay has 24 Grammy Awards, 14 No. 1 albums and 140 million in record sales.

Of course, everyone wasn't satisfied with the pick. “Em is the most decorated Rapper in history. Em is the best selling rapper of all time. Em as achieved EGOT status. Has achieved the biggest sold out shows in rap history. Lose yourself is the most successful song of all time. Em is the only top selling rapper in top 10 music history,” a fan wrote. (Actually, Eminem has not achieved EGOT status yet – he's a Tony Award away from the claim). Still another person believed 2Pac should've landed in the top spot.

At the end of the day, lists like these are always subjective —what are the criteria? Record sales? Lyricism? Influence? Longevity? Even still, a healthy debate is usually fun. With that in mind, check out ROCK THE BELLS' list of The Best Hip-Hop Song Every Year Since 1979.
