And really you claimed that all greats have sales and are trying to shove down my throat that 50 deserves a spot with them, when really he deserves no spot in Hip Hop hall of fame then MC fucking hammer. Oh and tons of great rappers don't sell well, what's your point?

This is the reason that these rappers aren't the #1 ever.Sales..
MC's like Eminem,Jay-Z,Pac,Big,Rakim.Andre 3000,Nas have the whole package and have the most preferences in US than the other.
I'm a big fan of Kool G Rap but he hasn't the whole package.You can't say that he is the GOAT because he hasn't so many fans and sales.KRS-1 the same..
Impact,sales,skills all important for a GOAT candidate.
50 isn't skilled like other MC's but he has sales.Kanye can't rap not even close but he has sales.Sales are important.Impact,skills,classic albums,sales all important for GOAT.

You don't like 50 that's your problem but you can't dispute his success as a rapper.

More like they refuse to sell out to the mainstream and would rather stay underground, granted there are some talentless underground emcees no denying that, but no sales mean dick to try and claim a spot for GOAT rapper.

I will agree that skills, impact, influence, and consistancy are integral parts for being top 10 material.

Oh and no I'm not disputing his success as a rapper, I'm disputing his skills and shooting down bullshit such as him being considered anywhere near top 10. All he as is sales and mass appeal, skills are tremendously lacking.
