The pair started off discussing how rap has influenced Bieber’s music, which prompted Khaled to inquire about who the Biebs considered to be his top 5 faves.
Hesitant at first, saying, “you know when you open this conversation there’s always room for ‘ah, I can’t believe this’,” Bieber did end up divulging his list to include, Lil Wayne, Biggie, Eminem, Kanye West, which makes four.
The always hype Khaled of course agreed with each selection, adding commentary such as “that’s another big one,” and "another great one” after each selection was revealed. Closing out his list, as seen in the clip below, Justin gave the final spot to “Drizzy Drake,” much to Khaled's excitement. “That’s what I'm talking about! Canada represents Canada!" the producer exclaimed.
With plenty of interviews under his belt Bieber has answered this question before, offering up a different mix of generally the same heavyweights each time. Back in 2012, he told Complex his top five rappers were 2Pac, André 3000, Eminem, Nas, and Lil Wayne. Then, in 2015, he told French outlet Clique TV his favorites were Eminem, Mase, Nas, Biggie, and 2Pac. Whatever, leave him alone, he's allowed to change his mind.
As for the this that was discussed, elsewhere in the interview Bieber and Khaled touched on Justin’s latest project Justice, his career over the last 10 years, being discovered on YouTube, and what it’s been like growing up in the public eye. Also up for discussion, Justin surprisingly revealed that when he heard his first single and mega hit "Baby" for the first time, he wasn't like "Baby, baby, baby oh" and more "Like baby, baby, baby no." Watch what JB had to say about all that and more in videos below.
