Funny how People say common is way better then Drake. But then again these are the same people who won’t buy his album. Drake maybe be soft. What about V-nasty, Lil b all these other rapper’s that ten times worst the Drake. GTFOH!! Get your money Drake cause they gonna hate.

Aaaaaaww man. Although missing a few really dope songs, This list brought back to some classic Com. Yo but I was anticipating seeing “Thisisme” from the Resurrection album, where he dropped just ONE LINE that just MURDERS anybody the game, even today: “Here it comes, I’m as able (or Abel) as `caine (or Cain, brother of Abel; or Big Daddy Kane) to get raw (like raw cocaine, or the BDK song ‘Raw’)”. This one line blew my mind as a shorty. Talk about a triple-entendre… Sheeeesh…

Glad to see yall giving Common props, even if he had to shit on one of the hottest cats in the game for yall to do it. Not a whole lot of “Like Water For Chocolate” representation here (“Heat”, “Cold Blooded”, Nag Champa”, “Thelonious”, etc.) And even though “Universal mind Control” wasn’t his greatest, how yall gonna leave out “Gladiator”? That was just as raw, if not rawer than “Hungry”.

I like the list. Everything we want will never be included. XXL messes up a lot of list like this but this one is okay. Common is one of the best ever.
This why we use the term GOAT. For bars and subjects not sales and popularity.

@Sha. I totally agree. Skillz and Respect from the real hip hop heads(those who don’t just listen to what’s on the radio and consider the most played the best rapper out) and other legends considering you one of there favorites is something you can’t buy.

I agree with the content of this article. But the number listing? Straight wrong!

But on the real, this is why Drake should be very worried. Common didn’t survive 9 albums deep for no reason. Whether he sells gold or only goes wood, dude can straight kill you in a battle.

Drake will never have a 50 greatest verses because he doesn’t have any good verses there all the same except a few corny hooks.

Your numbers are all jacked, who you get to comprise this list? No E=MC2? Seriously Respiration, Resurrection, Chi-City, UNI-verse at War. Good to see I’m not missing anything over here at XXL, cats can’t even come with real stuff.
