Hip Hop history is filled with formidable artists who can take any of those Top 5 spots, and Banks didn’t hesitate to give his answers. Several of his picks are unsurprising to any Hip Hop Head.

It wasn’t missed on viewers that Banks’s choices were all New York City rappers, and there were some Hip Hop fans who appreciated that the former G-Unit star didn’t pick artists that are regularly added to lists such as these.
