Everyone has a different take on their greatest rappers of all time lists. Whether they're asked for a top 5 or a Mount Rushmore, or if they're given any stipulations or simply open to interpretation, every answer is different. In a recent interview, Snoop Dogg was asked for his take on the 5 best west coast rappers. In his response, he listed Ice Cube, Ice-T, E-40, Too $hort, and of course himself. Clearly, the video is making the rounds including being spotted by some of the people discussed in it.

Ice-T seems to have caught the video on Twitter and appreciated Snoop's co-sign. Additionally he reposted the clip in a tweet that thanked his fellow west coast legend.
