Dead End Hip Hop

After Complex dropped their Top 50 LA Rappers of All Time list, The Game wasn’t having it—and he came back with a Top 100 of his own. In this episode, we go through Game’s full list, break down the names, the rankings, the snubs, and how it stacks up against Complex’s original list. Did The Game get it right? Or is this just more LA chaos in list form? Let us know who you think got left off, who’s ranked too high, and who REALLY runs LA. #TheGame #LARappers #Complex #HipHopLists #DeadEndHipHop Patreon: patreon.com/deadendhiphop Learn more about your ad choices.
