In that case it's just an uninformed opinion. You have no idea whether there's hundreds of musicians from across the globe in that timeframe, that you would actually prefer even more.
That not how opinions work, this only asked for an unpopular opinion. To act like you need to have an encyclopedic knowledge of every musical act on earth to form an opinion like that is just ridiculous lol
I think we just disagree on this. I think it's a perfectly valid opinion to say that your favourite musician is Kanye West.
But to say such an absolute statement as him being the second best in 100 years, is just impossible to say, when you don't know how many other musicians you would actually like even more.
I'm not saying that you're trying to say it as a fact. Like as if it's objectively true to everyone.
But you're saying it's your opinion that he ranks that high. Without knowing whether, if you knew all musicians, that it would actually be your opinion that he is outranked by hundreds of others.
So it's an uninformed opinion. Making an absolute statement of how you would feel, with all the knowledge, without having that knowledge.
An uninformed opinion is still an opinion, but your logic no one should have any opinions on anything because they don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject. It’s just not how reality works

Kanye West, although a bad person, is the second best musical act of the last 100 years
