Here’s Who Ben Affleck & Jon Bernthal Put on Their Rap Mount Rushmore

Did you know Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal were hip-hop heads?

As the two actors promote their film The Accountant 2, they sat down with Complex for their “GOAT Talk” series and the topic of Rap Mount Rushmore came up, with Ben offering up some interesting picks.

“I think Lil Wayne should be on there,” he said. “You were talking about Eazy-E today. We were talking about back when we were young. I mean, you know, a lot of talk about, ‘Well, Slick Rick.’ And then of course, there’s Kendrick right now.’”

Ben seemed to feel put on the spot and was throwing out names off the dome, but when Jon asked him to confirm, the Armageddon actor answered, “Yeah, I mean, I kinda at random, but, yeah I’d take that Mount Rushmore. I’d take that,” before also bringing up Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.

Bernthal essentially agreed with Ben’s picks, but replaced Slick Rick and Lil Wayne with the Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac while also acknowledging that he liked the idea of Affleck putting Weezy on his.

“I mean, I think you need Biggie on there. You need 2Pac on there,” The Punisher actor said. “But I’ll put Eazy on there and Kendrick, but I love that you put Lil Wayne on there.”

Ben then said that ‘Pac is probably his pick for greatest rapper ever before telling a funny story of his son asking him if he ever heard arguably the greatest diss song of all-time. “My son played me this song the other day,” he joked. “And he’s like, ‘Yo, you heard this?’ And he played me “Hit Em Up.” And I was like, ‘Have I heard this? Mothe—-er, I had a whole f—in’ life that I lived before you were born.’”
