@watersonHashtag questioned:

"A list without Proverb and Stogie ??"

@thembelanilato2 argued:

"Proverb is one of the best rappers ever graced SA rap music Cassper doesn't rap."

@TheOnlyLaw23 corrected:

"I love the last part where he explains his list, whether we like it or not. Cassper is known for his 1st hits, and he had a huge influence on Hip Hop, whether you like it or not. What he and AKA did can never be forgotten in Hip Hop."

@Hozeh5 added:

"HHP and Pro-kid for me. I wish he had included Proverbs."

@OCMNice said:

"Cassper is the greatest nothing bra; I knew I wasn't gonna respect Sizwe when I heard him say he'd forgive his woman for cheating on him; just pure simp vibes."

@dah_afrika laughed:

"He should have given Tido an honorary mention at least or even at 6, even if it's a top 5. Respect the interviewer."
