The Los Angeles rapper Tyga has weighed in on who he thinks are the best rappers of all time. In a recent interview, the “Make It Nasty” singer said that Eminem and Lil Wayne are his top choices.
A Compton-born artist, Tyga began making music as a teenager after he was introduced to it by his cousin, Travis McCoy of the hip hop group Gym Class Heroes. He soon found that rapping could help him rise above the negative aspects of his upbringing, and after making a few mixtapes, he signed with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment label.

He subsequently released several successful albums and singles. He also collaborated with artists like Chris Brown, Rick Ross and Bow Wow.
Despite his success, he has also faced numerous legal issues in his life. He has been in and out of jail multiple times, and his marriages have been dissolved.
Tyga has also been accused of cheating on his wife, Kylie Jenner. He reportedly dated English model Demi Rose Mawby in 2016.
According to his bio, Tyga was born Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson on November 19, 1989. He is of Jamaican and Vietnamese descent.
He is currently signed to Kanye West’s GOOD Music imprint.
When he was in high school, Tyga made a mixtape and toured with the group Gym Class Heroes. He listened to a lot of Eminem and Lil Wayne’s music and was inspired to try his hand at rapping.
In 2007, he started writing his own music and became a rapper. He toured with the group, and he later released his first album.
A year later, he signed with Lil Wayne’s label, Young Money Entertainment, and became a big name in the rap industry. His success continued with collaborations with other artists, and he eventually became a platinum-selling artiste.
The rapper has a large fan following on social media and has been a consistent presence in the music industry. He has won many awards in his career and has a number of chart-topping hits.
Why Em and Wayne?
During an interview with Complex last year, Tyga revealed that he thought Eminem and Lil Wayne were the best rappers of all time. In the interview, he gave a number of reasons why he chose these two rappers as his favorites.
Lyrical word play, delivery, flow, pockets, originality, raw, intentional, clarity, generational influence, and impact on the culture are all things that he thought made an artist a great rapper.
He also believes that the greatest rapper must be able to tap into his or her emotions and the feelings of their fans.
While it may seem like a simple answer, Tyga is not the only one who believes that there are certain qualifications to being the greatest rapper. The ‘Make It Nasty’ singer says that the greatest rapper must have hit songs, be able to make a big impact on the industry, and be able to connect with his or her fans.
The ‘Make It Nasty’ star also has some advice for the next great rapper: ‘Don’t listen to autotune.’
