    I gotta say Drake and 50. Drake was top 10 of the decade according to BET with no album out and 50 was sitting down beside a religious figure who could get 1,000,000 men to march together with no album out. Those two are like the epitome of public images manufactured. Oh, and I almost forgot if you really think Eminem is even in the room when the GOAT is being discussed he is overly manufactured as being the white savior also.

    Eazy E?

    Cube wrote all of dude's rhymes and he and Dre coached E up on how to rap/perform.

    Eazy was in the dope game but was not a rapper.

    Who the ? downplays their intelligence, pretend to be a goon, etc to sell some records. Did i mention make the same formulaic singles aimed at ? about thug love.

    I feel that way about him too.. the image is the same old thug/goon stuff ive seen before, his flow is weak and very slow and ignorant, the cross over attempts have people like Neyo on them. im thinking they cant be serious?? but i think they are and somebody bought this mess!

    grew up in a crip hood, went to carson,ca in high school, male stripper and change of heart appearances, begins his rap career in the bay area with jt the bigga figga then somewhere along the lines becomes a gangster rapper from compton..game will go down a the new cb4 and the most stereotypical, unoriginal, generic rappers ever...lol @ game pretending to have had some street cred in compton at some point in his life prior to singing to aftermath when nobody outside of his relatives could vouch for him
