Joe Budden says he'd put Kendrick Lamar in his list of the five best rappers of all time, but admits there's several other names that could slot into the final spot. Speaking about the topic on his podcast, he explained that the top four spots are all locked in with 2Pac, JAY-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., and Nas, but the fifth place is where things get malleable.
"If he ain't 5, he's 5B, 5C, 5D," Budden began. "For me, it's 'Pac, Hov-- in no order. I'm just naming them. 'Pac, Hov, Biggie, Nas, and after that everything can get tricky. I'm gonna choose to put a Kendrick there. If I didn't put Kendrick there, I'm putting 3k there. If I don't put 3k there, I'm putting Wayne there. There's 10 names that, they beat the rest of y'all and Kendrick is there. There's 10 names that, I don't give a f*ck what rapper y'all name, these 10 win. The MCs know it, the entertainers know it. Them 10 did what the f*ck they had to do."
