Nicki sold more this decade. Wayne sold more. Post. Kendrick. Cole. Future. Travis. The list goes on man lmao.

billboard.com/charts/decade-end/top-artists

The criteria I'm specifically referring to is the only criteria that matters tho

90's Rushmore: Ice Cube, Snoop, Pac, Biggie

2000's: Jay-Z, Wayne, Ye, Eminem

2010's: Drake, Cole, Kendrick, Future

Imagine thinking Nicki deserves a spot lol, the king got it right

90's: Nas, Snoop, Pac, Biggie. HM: Ice Cube

2000's: 50, Wayne, Ye, Eminem. HM: Jay Z

2010's: Drake, Kendrick, Kanye, Future. HM: Cole

its honestly crazy how delusional she is to think this

only gay men rate nicki that highly

nicki never made beast mode, 56 nights, Monster, DS2, Honest, Purple Reign dont disrespect fewtch like he didnt have the world on a wave nickis last real big moment was anaconda

Yabadabadoo old navy

Dirty ass

Hip hop historian

Future >>> Cole and I like Cole

That spot should be Future's

Is this not the most accurate?the two guys who represent traditional aspects of hip hop in modern times on a major scale & the two guys who control the sound of hip hop (and music overall) on a major scale

It's Drake, Kendrick, Nicki, and Future or Young Thug.

Only right answer

Thug was selling 16k until he got a J Cole feature bro. He’s influential for sure but this is recency bias. Cole did it for a decade.

Man, Future is a heavy contender for it tbh.

Remember when it was supposed to be big Sean?

Fkn with that voodoo ass bih messed him up all that drama with Jhene

It's always the fourth one that can go either way lol

This generation:
Future, Thug, Travis, ?

Last Generation:
Drake, Kendrick, Cole, ?

Before that:
Wayne, Ye, Jay, ?

And Before that:
Eminem, DMX, 50, ?

And even before that:
Biggie, Pac, Nas, ?

people saying tyler because he influenced white kids to wear chucks again yeah that’s cool but everyone is glancing over the sound from 2015-2018 which was soundcloud rap. x, uzi, carti and so many others have influenced more than cole and tyler
musically and aesthetically
future is def there tho he covers trap s*** street s*** and d*** era and all that

also are we crediting nicki or cardi for these female rappers 🤔🤔

If this was about purely numbers sure thug doesn’t factor in but He was a prominent artist before he started doing numbers & he’s been putting out hits for the better part of a decade ...nicki has a better argument than j cole imo because of her sheer dominance whether or not you think her music is actually good
