In a recent interview with Complex to promote the third installment of the Creed franchise, Jordan answered the million-dollar question regarding who he thinks is the greatest rapper of all time. The antagonist of the movie Jonathan Majors who plays the character of Dame Anderson was also present for the interview.
When asked the question, Majors picked Jay Z and Tupac. But Jordan, on the other hand, was on a totally different page. Jordan responded, “Drake, Fight me.” After hearing this response from Jordan, Majors could not hold back his emotions and cracked up with a burst of laughter. The fans love the duo’s performance in the movie.
The Creed protagonist further clarified that it’s hard to choose between Jay Z and Drake. But these two are his favorite rappers of all time. He added, “To have a rapper rap about things that I’ve been through, situations that I can relate to, the most, literally like, ‘Oh, I’ve thought that, I’ve been through that. How it relates consistently, I gotta go there.” It is safe to say that some fans were unhappy about Jordan’s pick.
Fans react to Jordan’s GOAT choices
For @ReaSon75, Tupac is the all-time GOAT of hip-hop music.
Calm down. JAY-Z sure but PAC, not even close. PAC is the ultimate hip hop martyr in the likes of Bob Marley is to Reggae music. Timeless music. Drake is no doubt the biggest star in the game for the last 10 years or so. That’s for sure.

@BizZilla211 believes that both rappers cannot be compared as it was a different era.
Drake does his thing but it’s a total different era. Can’t really compare the 2. The fact that PAC been gone over 20 years and we still compare him with current rappers says a lot.

@mutohd commented that MBJ’s “take is wild”.
Whatever Drake is doing to MBJ should be investigated. This take is wild!

@LobTies believes that Tupac was in a different class than Drake or any other current rapper due to the impact his music created.
The reason why Michael b Jordan is wrong is because while drake is an all time legend and master of his craft..Tupac still outclasses drake on impact. More than making hits, it’s amazing for a song to have impact. Tupac created more songs with impact. Hence, Pac > Drake.

For @LLazz, Tupac is the all-time greatest rappee, and Jay Z or Drake cannot come close to his greatness.
Maybe over jay z, not Tupac no way
