    Everyone's usual boring top 10 lists always feature a combination of about 15-odd interchangeable names but what about rappers that are just on the edge of greatness? those peripheral names that will never be top 10 but hover around the 10 - 30 mark in the greatest of all time?

    Jay-Z
    Nas
    2Pac
    Notorious BIG
    Kanye West
    Lil Wayne
    Andre 3000
    Eminem
    Ice Cube
    Ghostface Killah
    Rakim
    Kendrick Lamar
