Take Care era Drake was him at his absolute best. He and his Ghostwriters were putting out quality shyt
No started from the bottom15 years into the decade. I can't believe I typed that.
But as far as this decade is concerned
Name em breh
Name 8 iconic rap songs of the 2010s.
In terms of impact:
these are the contenders I got
1. Hard in the paint (definitely)
2. Purple swag/peso (maybe)
3. Yonkers (maybe)
4. Marvin's Room
5. Don't like.
6. I'm God (definitely, launched cloud rap)
7. Stay scheming (that's a reach)
8. Devil in a new Dress/Runaway
9. BMF (debateable)
10. Karate (reach).
11. Thuggin (reach)
I'm not some old head breh but I'm struggling to come up with a list.
I'm part of this Internet rap
generation. Thing is, styles switch up so damn quick, Songs from three years ago sound stale.

I had you pegged wrong my brehthat's actually a very respectable list
id include I'm on one cause that/dreams money can buy is the era where drake really took off, and that verse/hook epitomizes what he's been about since that point
Otis
money trees
bytch don't kill my vibe
exhibit C cause it was Late December 2009
house party
Along with a bunch you listed, although BMF is a certified classic. Yonkers is too. I'll take devil in a new dress over runaway all day every day too.
Good list my breh I agree with many of your choices
This was my anthem for a minute. The melodic flow was
bigmac
Superstar
I remember when this came out and it didn't appear on the Take Care tracklist. I was like well damn if this shyt ain't on the album, then what the fukk will be 
Then Lord Knows came
And the Motto came
And Look What You've Done
And Crew Love
That year

If BMF is "debatable" then so is every other song you listed.
BMF is debateagle in the sense of its impact.
Was it hard in the paint that brought on lex Luger and the modern trap sound or was it BMF?
Still can't touch my list though.
Thats the best I got.
Man....what?
The problem with your seriously flawed logic is you're giving him credit for building songs when he has reference tracks. Meaning, he needs training wheels for even the most basic aspect of song creation.
And you gave him credit for stealing, borrowing, whatever "Hotline Bling". Like it took some kinda special talent.
This is rap. Rappers are expected to write their own shyt. If they want to be taken seriously I mean. If you're telling me he's in the Puffy Daddy lane, so be it. Hell, that's not even accurate because he doesn't produce.
There has been rappers that wrote their own shyt, excelled in song creation, and produced on top of that, like Quik. So why is the bar so low for Drake? Stop acting like he's Quincy Jones.

Thanks breh
I'm on one definitely makes the cut.
that was the song I was looking for originally.
nikkas in paris/Otis should also be on there
There's also a strong case for a DJ mustard track and Bands to make her dance/throw it up.
I was also stuck on picking which kendrick song that could make the cut. Looking between swimming pools, bytch don't kill my vibe, backseat freestyle, and money trees. Or maybe something Section 80.
Thing is he's not a big singles guy, you know? His lane is more in constructing ambitious and complex albums. That's what his legacy has been so far. Pushing HipHop albums to the next level. shyt you know how many GKMC clones have dropped in the last three years? On album list he's at the top.
No started from the bottom
Peso nikka
Started from the bottom is a little too recent. We don't know what Drake song from his post-take care era is going to have that lasting impact just yet.
It could very well be started from the bottom. But it could also be 0-100, know yourself, Hotline Bling, etc.
