Did I stutter? Graduation did 970k fw. Kanye never sniffed 500k fw after grad. He wasn't as hot as he once was. MBDTF wasnt even the biggest rap album the year it came out lmao. After 2010 Kanye wasnt top commercially

He's been a hot artist since 2011. Hits since he's released. Culturally relevant songs. Delivered career wise after being dubbed the next big lyricist by the older generation.

And Nicki albums other than Pink Friday is less valuable than FHD

Cole will still be releasing impactful albums in the 2020s

the only thing it impacts is the size of my recycle bin

BARBZ STAND UP OUR QUEEN IS ON THE TOP CHILE ITS SIMPLE AS THAT

need logic on here

no

Nicki is easily better than Cole, not even a close debate there

if you're going to classify IGOR as an album that is not worthy of consideration in a rap conversation, then you have to apply the same logic to half of drake's hits, views, and 4YEO

she has rapped cirlces aroumd that bum for a decade

What other album of Nickis were more valuable than FHD

This Cole hate train is so corny that mfs acting like Nicki didn’t drop one great album and fall off.

yeah but drake released NWTS and Take Care which have some of the best rapping of the decade

I don’t think Cole should be there but Travis

fourth spot could be tyler tbh

I prefer to listen to Nicki Minaj anyday over J cole

the thing is, you need to stand out and be uniquely impactful at something to be on rushmore- what's coles claim to fame?

hes not the most commercially successful, hes not the best bar for bar, he doesnt make innovative or creatively risky music, etc etc

people like you big him up because he has a handful of classic songs and consistent sales, and IMO that isnt cutting it

In terms of impact/influence/sales/relevance whose peak will be remembered as being in the 2010's:
1. Drake
2. Kendrick
3. Cole
4. Future

5. Nicki
6. Thug
7. Sean
8. Meek

????? the queen been on top for a decade wtf

1. young thug

Queen? Meg/Cardi out now.

once again, nothing about this conversation is essentially based on ability or technicality. Tyler is not only responsible for some of the most defining moments of last decade, he's also responsible for breeding an entire personality and blueprint for social media presence. Speaking strictly from a pop culture standpoint, its him and Drake really.

nicki rapping circles around these hoes you KNOW it brother

this tough but I gotta go with Nicki
