Nick Cannon believes that more people should be calling Nicki Minaj the greatest rapper of all time based on the comments he made on The Bootleg Kev Podcast.

“First off all, let’s not disrespect Nicki. Nicki is the G.O.A.T. whatever her gender is,” he stated. “She is one of the coldest artists in the last decade. Like, we can’t sleep on her skill, her pen. Sonically, she changed the game.”

Later, Nicki responded to the compliment with a heart emoji.

.@NickCannon says that @NICKIMINAJ is the female GOAT, that she changed the game sonically and if you’re going to compare her or put her next to someone in a battle it should be @MsLaurynHill. 😍😍😍💕💕💕💖💖❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🦄🦄🦄 #nickcannon #nick #cannon #nickiminaj… pic.twitter.com/j872pfc77u

There's been a lot of talk about the top rappers ever since Billboard released its top 50 rappers list a couple of months ago. 

Nicki landed at number 10 on that list, ahead of people like Rakim, which veteran rapper Melle Mel said is ridiculous.

Who do you agree with, Nick or Melle Mel?
