If rappers are worth comparing to any type of entertainer, it's wrestlers. Both worlds have the drama, egos, catchphrases and beef. I rest my case.
Rappers are nothing more than musically inclined wrestlers. Just like dudes fake fighting in a ring, they don't actually perform the heinous acts of crime that they so vividly describe in their bars, but that doesn't mean shit when it comes to whether or not they are entertaining.
To illustrate my point, I picked some rappers that evoke the characteristics of classic wrestlers and, yo, the similarities are freakishly accurate. Don't believe me, just watch. See, rappers are the new wrestlers and I won't hear otherwise. For continuity purposes I drew most of the following comparisons from the golden era of WWF because that shit was the bomb.
