Blocboy JB recently took to Instagram Stories to boldly claim his position as one of the top rappers globally. In his confident statement, he emphasized that only Eminem, Drake, and J. Cole can rival his lyrical prowess.
“I’m One Of The Best Rappers In The World Y’all Just Sleeping,” he wrote. “Bar 4 Bar only n***a up der wit me is Eminem, Drake, J. Cole.”
The rapper defended his art and voiced his support for Memphis Grizzlies basketball star Ja Morant, who faced suspension after a controversial social media incident. Blocboy JB passionately criticized the media and those in power, arguing that owning guns is not illegal and urging for Morant’s release.
Comparisons between favorite rappers have been a common topic among fans and fellow artists. NBA star Russell Westbrook recently made waves by proclaiming the late Nipsey Hussle as the greatest rapper of all time, favoring him over icons like JAY-Z and Eminem. Westbrook’s bracket game on social media with his wife, Nina Westbrook, generated discussions as he made choices that stirred controversy, such as picking Dr. Dre over Biggie and Lil Wayne over 50 Cent.
It’s evident that opinions on the best rappers differ, and Blocboy JB’s bold assertion places him alongside esteemed artists known for their lyrical prowess.
