Bugzee is a huge fan of hip-hop. “Music is a universal language, and rap is the slang version of all music languages.” says Bugzee candidly.
Bugzee Lix recently read the Top 50 rapper list put out by billboard in February 2023, and though he disagrees strongly with the order of the list, and the omission of indie artist like himself he feels that all the artist mentioned deserve to be on the list. “Besides everyone on the list, I once saw a Ja-Rule performance (at the Gorge in Washington State) that was the best live performance I’ve ever seen”, yet he didn’t make the list. I was shocked”, says Bugzee. “I feel that my best 50 rappers of all time list is more realistic and not based around just clout and sales numbers” he adds. “Sure Platinum selling rappers will always have more clout than others, especially if they were signed to a Major Label, but rap is much bigger than any Major Record Label” he adds. Bugzee admits to leaving Ja-Rule and a few other favorites off of his own list to compact it, but feels that his list represents all of hip-hop, even some underground legends like Brotha Lynch Hung, and Rich Mitchy Slick. Bugzee’s list is based on a few categories besides the obvious collection of songs each artist has put out over the years. His list is based on the artist’s Cult following, Influence, Album Sales, Trendsetting Reach, How many other rappers bit the rappers style or quoted their bars, Style complexity, Originality and the Legacy the artist has.
