American hip-hop legend, Kanye West has released a controversial list of his 12 most iconic rappers in history.

In the list which he tagged as 12 rap kings, West mentioned himself, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Biggie Smalls, 2PAC, 50 Cent, Eminem, LL Cool J, Run DMC, Nas and Rakim as the greatest rappers of all time.

Sharing the list via his X handle, he wrote, “There are 12 rap kings

“[Lil] Wayne

Me

Jay [Jay-Z]

Drake

Biggie [Smalls]

[2] PAC

50 [Cent]

EM [Eminem]

LL [Cool J]

Run DMC

Nas

Rakim.”

The list sparked controversy, with many challenging Kanye West for excluding Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole and other hip-hop royalties from the list.

Kanye West recently revealed that he doesn’t like Kendrick Lamar’s music despite admitting that he is “very good.”

Last year, he slammed J.Cole for apologising to Kendrick Lamar over a diss track he made in response to Lamar dissing him and Drake on a song.

West insisted that J.Cole goofed by apologising to Kendrick Lamar.
