GloRilla, like every other rapper, has her own “Hip Hop Mount Rushmore,” and she recently shared it with Shannon Sharpe during an episode of Club Shay Shay.
The new episode, which dropped on Wednesday (April 3), featured the Memphis rapper rattling off a surprising list of her favorites.
“I’m only 24 years old, so I can’t say any rappers that were before me because I don’t know their music,” she said at the 1:19:30 mark. “So, I’m gonna say Lil Wayne. I think Lil Wayne is one of the best rappers in the world. […] Chief Keef. Drake. Eminem. And JAY-Z.”
Check out the full interview below.
The rapper (real name Gloria Hallelujah Woods) has never shied away from sharing her opinions.
Recently, the Memphis native shared a succinct tweet about the central figure of Dolly Parton’s 1973 hit “Jolene,” which Beyoncé notably covered on her latest album Cowboy Carter.
“I woulda shot Jolene,” the 24-year-old joked about the song, which was written from the perspective of a woman who is insecure about someone more beautiful than her stealing her husband.
For her part, Parton recently shared her love and appreciation for Beyoncé after she became the first Black woman to top Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart with “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
“I’m a big fan of Beyoncé and very excited that she’s done a country album,” Parton wrote on social media. “So congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country number one single. Can’t wait to hear the full album. Love, Dolly Parton.”
Likewise, Magic Johnson left no doubts about where he stands in terms of his favorites in music, singling out Bey as his pick for the greatest entertainer ever among women.
