G Herbo has entered the best rapper alive conversation, throwing his hat into the ring as the top contender.
Over the past few weeks, the debate around who is the greatest rapper, and while some discussions center around who is the greatest of all time, dead or alive, the Chicago drill icon believes he is the nicest living emcee.
The PTSD album creator took to Instagram Thursday (Mar. 16) to lay his claim to the crown. “I really feel like im the best rapper alive,” G Herbo wrote in his IG Story. In case anybody thought he was trolling, Herbo added, “NBS [no b#######.]”
His boast was picked up on Twitter and shared by several blog pages to a mixed response, although few replies agreed with G Herbo.
“I can find you a better Twitter rapper than him in 15 seconds,” one wrote, while another added, “He’s good but not even the best rapper in his city.”
