Creed III star Michael B. Jordan says Jay-Z isn’t the greatest rapper of all time?! The actor has just tossed a bucket of fuel atop the incessant, flaming “Who’s the greatest rapper of all time?” debate.

Naturally, answers vary in regard to the inquiry. However, two living Hip-Hop legends left Jordan on the fence as to who’s the G.O.A.T. — is it Jay-Z or Drake?

I gotta go there,” said the Newark native.

Michael B. Jordan’s dust kick-up falls in line with the recent brouhaha over Billboard and VIBE’s 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list. No. 1 on the list was Jay-Z, while Drake narrowly squeezed into the top 10, taking the No. 8 slot.
