Wale Explains Why He Should Be Considered One Of The Greatest Rappers

by Daryl Nelson

Wale got a big response after calling himself one of the greatest rappers ever, which he did Wednesday, August 18 on Twitter.

When I say I’m one of the greatest rappers of all time . I mean it with all my heart . I’ve put out more QUALITY music than most . My deep cuts are crazy . My singles all got plaques . Decade plus. THAT is why I’m heavy on the gratitude. 🌹

"When I say I’m one of the greatest rappers of all time . I mean it with all my heart," he typed. "I’ve put out more QUALITY music than most . My deep cuts are crazy . My singles all got plaques . Decade plus. THAT is why I’m heavy on the gratitude."

From the outside looking in, it seems that Wale has always felt slighted by fans and music critics since he's rarely seen on lists that name the best rappers. For example, when a list of the top 50 rappers was released in 2019 and Wale wasn't on it, he explained why he's one of the best.

Where would you rank Wale compared to other rappers?
