In this classic Em anthem he famously lists his top nine favourite rappers in order:"I got a list, here's the order of my list that it's in;
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie
Andrè from Outkast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me."
The Top Ten
1 Kurupt
2 Andrè 3000
3 Redman
Reginald "Reggie" Noble, better known by his stage name Redman, is an American rapper, DJ, record producer, and actor.
Reginald "Reggie" Noble, better known by his stage name Redman, is an American rapper, DJ, record producer, and actor. Another kind of unrelated thing I found out this song was never a single but it's ridiculously famous with over 500 million views on Youtube and more than 800 million streams on Spotify (I spent way too long to find that it was the most streamed non single ever).
4 Jadakiss
Jason Terrance Phillips (born May 27, 1975), better known by his stage name Jadakiss, is an American rapper and songwriter. He is known for being a member of the group The Lox, as well as being a member of the Ruff Ryders collective and for his solo work. His first solo album, Kiss Tha Game Goodbye, was released in 2001.

I wasn't really necessarily meaning Eminem being at the bottom I actually meant that I never realized Jadakiss was considered one of the greats and not because of a lack of mainstream success given that if you include his features he has charted higher than Nas and much higher than Rakim.
Interesting list would you say that Eminem has an unpopular opinion with some of these I had not heard many talk about Jadakiss as one of the greats.
