While some rappers have a track record bigger than your neighborhood’s most popular dope boy, many of them may just be suffering from their Napoloen complex.
While the Bow Wow’s and Omarion’s are obvious choices, some of the stars on this list who can barely tippy-toe past 5’7 may surprise you and change how you look at them.
Although the money may not be short for these rappers, the height definitely is!
Peep the page #’s below to see some of the shortest rappers in the game.
Plies
Ladies, before you get too excited about this bruh bruh pouring Kool-aid all over you, you should probably know that this goon could just be angry for the wrong reason.
Standing at only about 5’5″-5’6″, Plies is similar to a Chihuahua, as he makes a lot of noise but looks up while he’s doing it.
Nas
Nas may not of stood up against his child-support sentence, because he doesn’t have a lot of height to stand up for.
While many different publications list Nas anywhere between 5’7″-5’10”, the way the 5’10 Kelis towers over him in some pictures, makes us speculate that he just reached the 5’7″ mark.
Lil Wayne
Wanye may have a hit with his first single off the Carter VI, “6’7,” but his height is nowhere near the height of his hit.
Stated anywhere between 5’5″-5’8″, it’s no wonder why Wayne keeps people like Lil Chuckee and Lil Twist around him.
Standing neck and neck with Ja Rule in their video for “Uh Oh,” it’s obvious to see Wayne’s wishful thinking in songs like “Stand Tall.”
Lil Boosie
I would make a joke about how Lil Boosie always looks like someone’s little brother in music videos, but realistically I’m a “little” frightened by Boosie.
Even if he is just 5’6″-5’7“.
Ludacris
Ludacris has had a lot of big hits and has starred in many big movies, but Luda is not the big man.
If you ask Luda how low can he go, he wouldn’t have to go much lower considering he is 5’7″, even though many publications give him an inch or two.
Maybe that’s why Luda was fond of the fro back in the day?
Too Short
It’s in his name, so no one is surprised that West Coast rapper Too Short is indeed short.
However, he may not be as short as you think, climbing up to 5’7″ on a good day, Too Short is close to the average height for a man.
Jermaine Dupri
You know it’s a problem when you were the same height as Lil Bow Wow when he FIRST came out.
Jermaine Dupri has always been the smallest guy in the group, even when keeping teenagers like Bow Wow and Usher around.
Just like his relationship with Janet, Jermaine just comes up a little short sometimes.
T.I.
T.I. def has a big bark and a bite to back it up, but Georgia Bulldawgs aren’t exactly the biggest dogs.
Penciled in at 5’6″ according to XXL magazine, this King would of fit in just right with the other Kings in the 1400’s who were predominantly 5’3-5’6″.
But hey, when your woman’s name is “Tiny,” then I guess it all works out in the end.
Rakim
When Rakim slams the mic to make sure it’s broke, he’s only slamming it from about 5’6″ feet off the ground.
May want to slam it twice to make sure homie.
Bushwick Bill
No your mind is not playing tricks on you.
It’s easy to see that Bushwick Bill is the shortest rapper in the game. Standing on all different kinds of platforms to take album cover photos, the pint size rapper not even 4’0″ still has a big voice and bigger talent.
