Where is the entire list?
editWhere is it I can only see the top ten 79.183.174.19 (talk) 19:00, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- For those reading: because the full list is copyrighted, and we aren't allowed to use but a small percentage of it as "fair use". Yo bailaba (talk) 00:41, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
- Was there ever a discussion here on this matter? I am not familiar with this policy of "copyrighted list" and "fair use"!!! Rap no Davinci (talk) 14:07, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

Suggest adding Forbes 2023 ranking of Lil Wayne (#3)
editHi, I’d like to propose adding Forbes’ 2023 list of the 50 greatest rappers of all time to this article. In that ranking, Lil Wayne is placed at #3, behind only Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar.
The article highlights Lil Wayne’s lyrical ability, genre versatility, commercial success, and influence on a new generation of rappers. I believe this ranking would add a strong, up-to-date perspective from another reputable source.
Here is the source link:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/entertainment/article/best-rappers-of-all-time/
Since the current article includes other major lists (like Billboard and Rolling Stone), including Forbes would help give readers a more well-rounded and balanced view of how different outlets have evaluated the greatest rappers.
Thanks! 74.12.88.156 (talk) 17:32, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
