ICE CUBE SPEAKS ON GREATEST RAPPERS

Billboard knew their Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list would spark debates, and Ice Cube has something to say about it.

Cube landed at number-18 on the list — not that he cares because as he says, “Billboard ain’t hip-hop, so their opinion don’t matter.” He tells TMZ that lists are irrelevant and “it’s like [butt] holes. Everybody got one and they all stink.” He also took exception to the fact that his old Mount Westmore partner Too $hort was left off the list, even as Snoop Dogg and E-40 made it in. Cube says he keeps his own list and he’s number-one on it.

Here’s the top 10:

10. Nicki Minaj

9. Snoop Dogg

8. Drake

7. Lil Wayne

6. The Notorious B.I.G.

5. Eminem

4. Tupac

3. Nas

2. Kendrick Lamar

1. Jay-Z
