Drizzy already told y’all he’ll always fall top 2 but not 2 and y’all still try y’all best to deny the boy :russ:

He’s literally the LeBron of this shyt, and just like Bron the haters try their best to skrrt around all his accomplishments.

Time will tell all though.

I mean we’re applauding streams which is 100% a generationally biased metric? We supposed to celebrate streams over the physical era where people bought your product and listened to it in its entirety for months vs shyt where one song shows up on every playlist? Streams, we talking about streams :aicmon:

It’s not Drake’s fault streams is the default metric used to measure how popular a musician is in 2023. If we used cassettes and CD’s and other physical media today he would dominate that too, and you’d just make up another avenue to discredit his popularity/success.

No one is discrediting his success, if we still bought albums I have no doubt he’d be one of the highest selling. But these streaming accolades are stupid as they only apply to a younger generation of artists and listeners. It’s way easier to rack up streams than sales. Hmm pay $10/month for access to everything vs $10-15 just for one CD :stopitslime:

Not true, why is 2pac, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Eminem, and 50 Cent on this list? LL Cool J and Big Daddy Kane’s discography are all on streaming platforms as well, what’s the excuse for that?

You can’t write rap history without all of them except maybe Juice but even hun I’d say is HOF 1st ballot

You easily can, Travis juice and triple x are not 1st balot, Travis is barely a rapper this is not a Chief Keef situation where there influence is even greater than their talent.

Pac is and icon beyond just the music. Jay is relevant due to his “best rapper alive standing” being a mogul and beyonce. Wayne and Kanye were stars for millennials and older gen z, this demographic uses streaming. Em is white and is the rap Elvis at this point, he’s passed down to white people generation to generation. 50 cent has the em stimulus plus a huge overseas audience

Gen X ain’t on streaming like that to have LL, ATCQ, etc poppin and those artists don’t have the same relevance to white audiences to have been passed down over generations

Drake dominated the cd era also.
