Boosie Badazz listed Juvenile and Scarface among his greatest rappers of all time.

Boosie Badazz listed his five favorite rappers of all time during a recent interview with Bryant McFadden ahead of Super Bowl LVIII. In doing so, he named himself, 2Pac, DMX, Juvenile, and Scarface. Of the latter, he argued that Scarface is underrated in the history of hip-hop.

"Me, 2Pac, DMX, I always say Juvenile because he raised me. I say the people who raised me," Boosie said, before adding that he knows every word to the 400 Degreez album. "I got a few more greats. Scarface. He's so underrated." He also remarked that he wants to get on NPR's Tiny Desk.

One wrote: "Conversation of Greatest all time needs to stop. Instead lets converse about who is YOUR PERSONAL FAVORITE," while another remarked: "Watch how many people argue with 'His' Top 5 like they’re not welcome to have their own Top 5." Check out his full explanation of the top five picks below.
