Snoop Dogg has been named the greatest rapper of all time according to a recent Family Feud survey, surpassing fellow Hip-Hop legends like 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., and JAY-Z. The revelation came during a recent episode of the beloved game show, where music stars Tori Kelly and Meghan Trainor led their teams in guessing the survey answers to various topics, including the greatest rap artist ever.
Trainor’s team suggested modern rap icons such as J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, and Lil Wayne, all of whom failed to make the list. Meanwhile, Kelly’s team had better luck, correctly picking 2Pac, who was ranked No. 2, The Notorious B.I.G., who came in at No. 6, and JAY-Z, who surprisingly landed last at No. 8.
Host Steve Harvey was visibly shocked by JAY-Z’s low ranking, humorously attributing the surprising results to the survey’s location. “We in Rhode Island again,” Harvey quipped, questioning the survey’s demographic.
Kelly offered an explanation, suggesting that the survey was likely answered by casual fans rather than die-hard Hip-Hop enthusiasts. “You’re thinking as a Hip-Hop head. I don’t think that’s who answered these questions,” she told Harvey.
Despite Kelly’s reasoning, Harvey remained incredulous, humorously apologizing to the entire Hip-Hop community. “JAY-Z’s last? What in the world?” he exclaimed, expressing his disbelief at the Brooklyn native’s unexpected position on the list.
The final Family Feud list of greatest rappers of all time, from first to last, included Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Eminem, Dr. Dre, LL Cool J, Biggie, 50 Cent, and JAY-Z. Contestants also named artists like Nas, Drake, and Ice Cube, but these rappers did not make the survey’s final cut.
The surprising survey results sparked lively discussions among fans and contestants, highlighting the varying perspectives on Hip-Hop’s greatest artists.
