Ed Sheeran <\/a>and Barry Keoghan teamed up for an episode of Complex\u2019s GOAT Talk<\/em> on Wednesday (Aug. 20), and when it came to their greatest rap albums lists, they aligned with some millennials\u2019 favorites.<\/p>\n Keoghan immediately went with 50 Cent\u2019s<\/a> classic 2003 debut Get Rich or Die Tryin\u2019<\/em>. \u201cI mean I love Get Rich or Die Tryin\u2019,<\/em>\u201d the actor said. \u201cYou know when you have the pressure of people listening to your playlists, you\u2019re like, \u2018I\u2019m gonna throw this on because everyone gets with it.’\u201d<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sheeran had a laugh recalling that he listened to the album with his dad during a recent trip to Italy, where he championed 50\u2019s brilliance with tracks such as \u201cIf I Can\u2019t.\u201d \u201cI listened to that weirdly with my dad the other day,\u201d he shared. \u201cI was topless with a beer in my hand, explaining to him how great \u2018If I Can\u2019t\u2019 was because it\u2019s not a full eight-bar chorus. It\u2019s, like, six bars. I\u2019m like, \u2018This is genius.’\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Sheeran kept his choices in the Aftermath\/Shady Records\/Interscope family, going with The Game\u2019s<\/a> The Documentary<\/em>, Eminem\u2019s <\/a>The Marshall Mathers LP<\/em> and Dr. Dre\u2019s<\/a> 2001<\/em>. \u201cI can put them on in any scenario,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n As far as their favorite rappers ever go, Ed Sheeran kept it in the U.K. with Devlin,\u00a0Skepta<\/a>, Wretch 32 and\u00a0JME, while Keoghan added Storzmy<\/a> and Dave. <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIf you go to France and you say, \u2018Who\u2019s the best rapper?\u2019 They\u2019re gonna say a French rapper. You go to Germany, do the same thing,\u201d Sheeran explained. \u201cAnd I understand British rappers more. I can relate to Stormzy\u2019s tunes more than I can relate to whoever.\u201d<\/p>\n On the music side of his own, Sheeran is gearing up to release his Play<\/em> album<\/a> on Sept. 12, which includes singles \u201cAzizam,\u201d \u201cSapphire,\u201d \u201cOld Phone\u201d and \u201cA Little More.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch Sheeran and Keoghan debate their favorite rap albums below.<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
