From 2Pac and Biggie to Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar, some of Hip Hop’s most influential,

innovative and creative artists belong to the zodiac sign Gemini.

In honor of Gemini season, which falls between May 21 and June 20, I decided to celebrate some of

the sign’s most talented rappers.

Being a Gemini myself, I began looking over Elliott Wilson’s 100 Greatest Diss Songs list and

couldn’t help but notice that Geminis hold many of the top spots.

In fact, between 2Pac’s “Hit ‘Em Up,” Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” Ice Cube‘s “No Vaseline,”

Lauryn Hill‘s “Ex-Factor” and Jadakiss‘ “Checkmate” and “Freestyle (Fuck Beanie Sigel),” Geminis

account for almost a third of the top 20.

As coincidental as this might seem, it’s hard to deny that that Geminis are some of the most vicious opponents when it comes to rap battles. Perhaps this is because of classic Geminis traits like quick-wittedness, adaptability and an expressive nature.

Geminis are also deep thinkers and are passionate about their craft. Looking at the list of rappers below, you can hear similarities in their remarkable storytelling, charismatic grit in their tone and delivery, and gift for writing rhymes that take multiple listens to fully

Given that Geminis are famed for their “two-personality” duality, it’s also no surprise that these MCs possess multiple flows, styles and even personas.

So, is there something to the Gemini sign that makes such great rappers? Check out a list of the best rappers who belong to the zodiac sign below.

“I’m a classic case of a Gemini,” 2Pac said in a 1996 interview with Entertainment Tonight. “It means that I can be calm, quiet and very into my work and totally focused and totally disciplined and boring! Or I can be fun, fun, fun but dangerous, dangerous, dangerous — not only to other people, but to myself.”

‘Pac’s description of the Gemini personality was on full display throughout his catalog as he showed his passionate and loving side on songs like “Dear Mama” and “Brenda’s Got a Baby,” and his dangerous side on “Hit ‘Em Up” and “Bomb First,” among others.

It also takes a creative mind to have most listeners mistakenly believe he was rapping about an actual girl on his song “Me and My Girlfriend.”
