Jayson Tatum<\/a> returned to Matt Barnes<\/a> and Stephen Jackson<\/a>\u2019s podcast, All the Smoke, to reveal his top five rappers.<\/p>\n Barnes got right to it, asking Tatum who makes up his \u201cstarting five in the rap game?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHov is the greatest, he\u2019s the goat. I got Drake at No. 2. Drake my favorite, but Hov is the greatest,\u201d Tatum said, naming Lil Wayne as his No. 3 pick. \u201cThem three is GOATs.\u201d<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWayne is my GOAT,\u201d Barnes responded.<\/p>\n \u201cBiggie No. 4. I\u2019ll throw Nelly in there,\u201d he added, rounding out his top five with the fellow St. Louis native.<\/p>\n \u201cYou got to,\u201d Jackson said, prompting Tatum to say, \u201cCountry Grammar went diamond.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s no surprise that Tatum named the 6 God in his top five. In 2023\u2014pre-Kendrick Lamar beef\u2014the Boston Celtics power forward popped out to Drake<\/a> and 21 Savage\u2019s It\u2019s All a Blur Tour stop in Boston.<\/p>\n Tatum later posted photos of himself and Drizzy from the show, captioning the Instagram series, \u201cThese days.\u201d<\/p>\n The 27-year-old appeared on All the Smoke in 2020, revealing that he initially didn\u2019t want to play for Boston until his former Duke coach, Coach K, persuaded him.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2018Jayson, the Celtics called, they want you to come work out. I think Brad Stevens is a great coach, and it’s a great place to be. You’ll learn a lot,\u2019\u201d Coach K told Tatum back in 2017, per<\/a> CBS News. \u201cSo I’m like, ‘Ugh, all right. I’ll go.'”<\/p>\n Part of his hesitation was that he didn\u2019t know if he would get much time on the court since the Celtics had just finished as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n “There was a part of me that didn’t want to go to Boston because they just were the No. 1 team in the East. They had Isaiah Thomas, Al Horford, [Marcus] Smart, [Jaylen Brown], Jae Crowder,” Tatum explained. “I was like, ‘Man, I’m not going to play. I’m trying to get buckets.'”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Jayson Tatum’s Cameo at Drake Concert Causes Excited Woman to Trip Down Multiple Stairs, Video Shows<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Jaylen Brown Weighs In on Jayson Tatum\u2019s New Hairstyle: ‘Nah, That’s Crazy’<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Jayson Tatum Recalls Spilling Wine on Michael Jordan: ‘My Hands Were Shaking’<\/span><\/p>\n Dwayne Johnson Was Scared to Embrace Dramatic Roles Until ‘The Smashing Machine’<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Jason Kelce Reveals His Thoughts on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Engagement<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
