We have the King of Rock N' Roll, Elvis.  We have the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.  But the long debate continues, who is the King of Hip Hop?

The debate has been going on since Biggie and 2 Pac were on the scene.  But we still do not have a King.  You can go by album sales, concert sales, lyrics, their battle rapping, or their position on the charts.

There are so many awesome rappers in our time.  Jay Z, Eminem, Dr. Dre and on and on. But who deserves to have the crown on top of their head?  Here is what Rolling Stone said.

Their ranking is based off album sales completely.  E Online also tried to name a king.  They based theirs off of albums released from 2009 to the present, album sales, rankings on the R&B, hip-hop and rap charts, YouTube video views, social media, concert grosses, awards and critics' opinions.  Eminem still came out on top.

Eminem has billions of YouTube views and millions and millions of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram followers.  Here is the rest of E!'s list.

1. Eminem
2. Lil Wayne
3. Drake
4. Kanye West
5. Jay-Z
6. Nicki Minaj
7. Rick Ross
8. Ludacris
9. Gucci Mane
10. T.I.
11. Snoop Dogg
12. Diddy
13. Pitbull
14. Fabolous
15. Wiz Khalifa
16. B.O.B.
17. Waka Flocka Flame
18. Lupe Fiasco
19. Kid Cudi
20. Big Boi

So many people were left off.  Where is Biggie Smalls?  Where is 2 Pac?  Dr. Dre?  Ice Cube?  So many should be these lists and are not!  And only one female.  Nicki Minaj is good, but I could name a few other females that should be on the list. So now, we ask you: Who should be the King of Hip Hop/Rap!
