Damian Lillard Says Eminem, 50 Cent, And Kanye West Are The Worst Rappers On The GOAT Hip Hop List

• Damian Lillard made some interesting picks when asked to choose two of the worst from the best rappers of all time

• Damian Lillard initially picked 50 Cent and Kanye West as the two from a pure rap perspective

• When talking about their overall catalogs, Lillard named Eminem, but couldn't pick another artist off of the list

Damian Lillard is mired in a trade saga with the Portland Trail Blazers that seems to have no end in sight. While there have been too few concrete developments on that front though, Lillard hasn't let that stop him from enjoying his offseason. 

Apart from being an incredible hooper and one of the greatest shooters ever, Damian Lillard is also a musician. As Dame D.O.L.L.A, he has released five studio albums, with the latest coming out this year. And he recently gave an interesting hip-hop-related interview. 

Asked to pick two rappers to go out of nine of the greatest to ever do it, Lillard first asked a technical question, saying, "Like the actual ability to rap, the ability to rap, or their actual music? If I’m saying the ability to rap, two gotta go, I am gonna say Kanye and 50 Cent. 

"Two in general, I am gonna say, I mean Eminem one of them for me. I am gonna say Eminem, and, that’s tough."

The list Lillard is talking about includes legendary rappers like Jay Z, Eminem, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Nas, and Kanye West. The newer generation of great rappers is also present, with Drake, J Cole, and Kendrick Perkins making the list. 

The fact that Eminem, Kanye West, and 50 Cent all made his list is interesting and something that a lot of hip-hop fans might not agree with.
