He's also not a rapper, not sure why people keep calling him one.
How is Dre not a rapper? He is many things also but he has rapped on hugely successful records...he is a vocally weak rapper for sure but he is definitely a rapper.
Or maybe you meant Slim Shady but that makes no sense to me.

He's a producer who raps, he's not a rapper. You would never list him in a list of great rappers. Great producers but not great rappers.
lol it's not about ability or sales. He himself would admit he's not a rapper. Surely you know what makes him different from any other rapper mentioned on this thread?
Ok. You know he doesn't write his own raps right? His ghostwriters, usually the rappers he collaborates with write for him. I'm not knocking that, it's fine and as you point out he's made some absolute bangers. But for that reason, he's not a rapper, wouldn't consider himself one, and no one with any hip hop knowledge would call him a rapper. But you knew that right?

So someone else was spitting on California Love, Next Epsiode, Forgot About Dre, Let me Ride, Aint nuffink but a Gthang?
Not saying I like those tunes particular (exception of CL) but those are massive tunes in terms of sales.
He aint no Big L for sure but he spits
So self-determination is your criterion? Blow me down to disqualify ability and popularity. Im the worlds greatest rapper so by your own logic, I am
However, according to the man himself "Im a pimp slash rapper, I thought you knew that"
Obviously thats a big factor as a rapper should always spit his own lyrics
Exactly. As a producer he's on another level but you could train a parrot to rap a verse.
One phrase I never thought I would read on Charlton Life.
Full Clip. ..a rapper telling people guns are horrible. well played that man
