Who OWNED the previous DECADE?

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

For rap I would've chose Drake but Future went on a nice run to close the last 5 or years of the decade.

Plus I hear his music everywhere from streets of Jersey to Seattle.

For R&b I'd go with The Weeknd. Since 2013 breh has been killing it and Trilogy was a scene changer from what yall tell me. I would like to hear what and who his sound influenced.

Pop - Taylor or Bruno

you answered your own question

rap - drake future radio/clubs, kendrick critically
weeknd is pop to me - he, taylor, adele and bruno ran pop...bieber and ariana grande were also strong
r&b - chris brown is the only one who had a presence the whole decade

I would add migos and meek to rap artist that ran the decade. They had hit records, anthems, and features everywhere

Rap- Drake

R&B- Beyonce. Love her or hate her, she pretty much ran last decade specifically with the self titled album and Lemonade.

Pop- Rihanna. Hasn't dropped since 2016, but Loud, Talk That Talk, Unapologetic, and ANTI were huge.

 

[Black Hans]

Future and Drake owned the 2010s in mainstream rap.

 

[CrushedGroove]

White women
China
"They"

 

[Chip Skylark]

Drake, future, and Kendrick

Drake is the 2nd highest selling rap artist of all time with classic songs he dominated it!

Kanye, Jay-Z, Chief Keef, ASAP Rocky, Drake, J. Cole, Kendrick, Future for different reasons.
Travis Scott too

the decade....none of the bolded ran the decade. jay's last album that had everyone pay attention was MCHG in 2013...4:44 only his stans ate up and it didn't produce hits, keef wasn't a factor after his first album - he and that chicago drill movement had an impact on others, but he didn't run the decade, rocky quite literally fell off musically, any relevance he still had was hypebeasting and fashion.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Future IMO.

He made the best music and had the most influence. And he didn’t have a co-sign like the other big rappers.

jay had 3 huge albums last decade with tons of hits. He is on the shortlist.

 

[Finesse]

Easily Future.

HIs influenced spilled over to the next generation as well

The Yeat's, The Carti's, The Durk's their style can all be traced back to what Future did in the 2010's.

If all the big dog's of the current decade are your sons, then clearly you ran the decade before em. Similar to what Wayne did before Future.

We dont have a whole bunch of mini Kendrick's, Drake's and Cole's running around dominating the game and the sound.

WTT was more than a decade ago

and 4:44 had no hits

he didn't own the 10's
