Speak for yourself because Beyonce is not my mf'in MJ

Beyonce basically created stan culture

Love Janet and she is one, but she’s not relevant currently like the other 3.

Beyoncé.

How is Drake an icon?

He’s not one, his stans too quick to crown him that. He hasn’t had that iconic moment yet.

Why is Drake included, lol?

i could get behind this

An icon is more than just charting high, Drake needs to move the needle for the culture. He hasn’t done that yet.

Beyoncé

Drake has been running the game since like 09. He deserves some respect.

Dude was so confident in the wrong answer lmao

yea man the rap game definitely in the same place as it was before Drake hopped on the scene

Delete this before I report you for disinformation. F***ing bots getting way too bold these days.

That’s not enough, what has he really done besides be the most popular. What is exactly Drake a symbol of?

Icon
a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration.

Yeah Beyonce wins this

As far as hip hop goes (people who started in hip hop), living icons are:
Snoop
Dr Dre
Jay Z
Diddy
Kanye West
Ice Cube

What has he really done besides sold a bunch of records?

He is the embodiment of the duality of man. The constant battle between fragility and toxicity that each and every one of us deal with on a daily basis.

That’s very precise but most people don’t identify him that way.

If anything that's more applicable to Kanye West lol.

The battle between fragility and toxicity that each and everyone one deal of us with everyday?

who is US?

Now they trying to say the biggest hit maker in Hip Hop history isn’t an icon

The real fans do and that’s all that matters 🤷‍♂️ We are the ones who elevated him to the level of success he’s at today due to his music resonating on such a personal level. If his music can touch that many people and become the soundtrack to so many lives, idk how one could legitimately discount his achievements as an artist

thats how the industry, her peers and the media treats her. Beyonce doesn’t have to sell another record, if she enters any room celebrities with massive cultural capital themselves revert to gushing crying fans in a way that hasn’t been seen by any one since mike.. clive davis made a whole audience stand up and clap for her just cause she arrived in the room
