Rap Mount Rushmore of the 2010s

[ThiefyPoo]

Another song she killed all the rappers on including Rick Ross .


People keep talking stupid shyt but Nicki kept a street record no matter what pop shyt she was doing . This song was during pink print era like I was tryna tell dude but he wanted to argue about nothing .

I actually think 2010-2018 was great. 05-09 was a WOAT era, and yes, looks like the 2019/2020’s era is going to top that in being wack, but 10-18 brought rap back from the shytty ringtone/snap era

People don't remember how bad 05-09 was... literally we were waiting for a new era because hip hop was just SO bad. It was really in danger of becoming something else with ringtone rap and all the dances going on. 2010s with the new class who actually wanted to rap was really needed.

be sure to click the link to see from 2014 and on

What initially came to mind: Could Wayne make an argument for a spot in both '02-'06 AND '06-'10?

Then I peeped: Luda's placed in '06-'10? (If things went ideally as they should, he might have been in the '02-'06 category) I Can't remember him having that much of an impact during my college years outside of a couple singles. Correct me if I'm trippin'.

I want to say yes but Future's run from 2014-2018 is hard to ignore.

But if we're talking top 5 of the '10s, that fifth spot is Gibbs. His discography has been on par or greater than the all four.

Hate threads like this, the 3 given should give you context clues that part of the criteria is commercial/mainstream success. Y’all in here talking Gibbs, nipsey, griselda, pusha t, mozzy stop

even arguing second tier guys like meek and big sean makes sense. nikkas who survive cuz streaming/the internet exists aren’t on this.

now you wanna make your own personal top 4 - do you. Nip would make my personal list, but he ain’t on this one.

It tells you a lot about these people

Luda definitely had some high, but I feel like he tapered off after 06, so he’d probably be more in the 02-06 category if you were going to place him there. 09-10 Luda was putrid though. That was the whole “Big Sean Flow”/Young Money Garbage Bars Era.

Gotta take 2005 out of there. That was a great year even mainstream wise. 2006 was an instant nosedive, and 06-10 was atrocious. I think I even made a thread on that lmao

06 alone is better than the entire 10s decade.

Yeah, Luda was that dude during the early 2000's.
That's what made that Macy's line standout even further and indeed seem "putrid." Outside of that, Fast and Furious, and the one mixtape song where he went at Field Mob, I can't remember much.
