Wiz at point was very famous, with "Kush and Orange Juice" being one of his magnus opus. That mixtape is a straight banger

Wiz's fame skyrocketed with "Black and Yellow" and "See You Again"

Drake having that Young Money and Weezy co-sign along with killing guest features/releasing albums brought him notoriety. Drake being a meme in 2010's mainstream pop culture skyrocketed his clout. Drake now is as famous as Michael Jackson. He climbed up the ladder for success.

He’s orettty recognizable off the black and yellow and amber rose run. Once you throw in the snoop and currency connections, I think he’s somewhere around that method man and red man level of popularity.

He’s not as big as Drake, but he’s pretty recognizable.

Drake is far from as famous as MJ.

He's not even the most famous living rapper today.

This hasn't been an argument after 2013, and that's being a bit generous.

Not at all

Wiz is a recognizable face to most people though, between see you again, we dem boyz and black & yellow, most have heard at least 1 song. And really that's just in the US.

Drake's worldwide, almost everyone's heard a drake album, even older folks

Wiz had his mainstream run (a very heavy run) before drake was even popping like that. Drake is more famous now but wiz been there and done that. He'd still be famous if he decided to make more music catering to the masses instead of just making the music he feels like making
Yep.This would've been a legit question back in 2010 or 2011when Wiz was in a roll and all these cats were screaming out "Taylor gang!"

But now? HELL NAW:heh:
