This is a good question

The paradox lies in the fact that to crossover in any sense you have to captivate a majority white fanbase so we’re really grading every “popular” rapper on some kind of curve.

With that said i’d say

Chris Brown (black women especially are his bread and butter)

Mos Def (purely as a rapper not an actor/entertainer)

Talib Kweli

J.Cole (I KNOW he’s got a sizable white fanbase but nikkas LOVE Cole)

I could see Mos Def and Talib Kweli having a mostly white fanbase.


Those two just seem like they attract the nerdy CACS who only like real Hip Hop types.

Gucci has a white fanbase
Dababy has a white fanbase
Boosie had white fans during the Free Boosie Era
Jadakiss/LOX has a white fanbase especially in the real hiphop circles.
Dipset has a white fanbase especially in the hype beast circles.
This doesn't mean white people make up the majority.

I don’t know if I can say that for Cole. Every East Coast show I saw was filled with whites.
