    Eminem is an anomaly though.

    Outside Em, I'd say Kanye, Snoop, Pac, Biggie, and 50 are still the biggest faces of hip hop worldwide.

    Also, Kendrick is more commercially successful than Cole. Humble is even Diamond eligible.

    Na of course there hasn’t really been a white rapper to takeover like em but damn what’s the reason he has to be the biggest? Yes he can rap but I don’t get the worldwide appeal besides one reason…

    Harlow did 51K fw in 2020
    Baby did 197K same year

    Jack might get higher charting singles, but Baby going to have the better first week again.

    Not if the women thirsting over Jack have anything to say about it.

    True but I also think the stars lined up for Em and the Interscope push and Dre cosign helped gave him a mainstream push.

    Can't speak for White America but Baby has tons of Black girls listening to his music.

    Maybe they ain't thirsting over him on IG but they definitely playing his music.

    There was one white rapper so of course white people who enjoy rap are gonna support someone they can relate to. It’s not that deep.

    It's the truth lol. Post Malone debuted in 2015 and ranked higher than Kendrick in these:

    She doesn't get what I'm saying though.

    She's really underplaying how much stature in hip hop matters.

    Using her logic, Vanilla Ice's debut outselling Ready To Die is an important stat and they should be compared to each other.

    I’m talking about relating to him being white. Basically the only white guy in hip hop. You wanna turn this into racism so bad lmao. How is liking a white rapper racist?

    The women dont got the power all the men / young men supporting baby got

    I think Harlow will barely crack 100K (which is still a W for him compared to his previous release) but Baby will be close to 200K

    But we'll see. I like them both, hope they both see success

    lil baby is the best mainstream rapper rn

    White women and black women will probably unite to give Jack Harlow the edge over Lil Baby.

    Stature in hip-hop doesn't really matter when it comes to commercial success lol. Many hip-hop adjacent acts have seen major success without needing to be respected as rappers.

  • Who cares. Baby better that’s all that matters.

    This Jack Harlow hype is making me miss Posty. At least he had some good singles.

    So, do you also think the only reason why J. Cole is successful is because he's biracial?

    Come on you know Drake and Cole are two different cases.

    There’s people out there that don’t even know Drake is black because he’s so racially ambiguous.

    Cole on the other hand, a lot of niggas wouldn’t even know he was mixed if he didn’t say it. I know I thought he was just light skinned

    Eminem is an anomaly though.

    Outside Em, I'd say Kanye, Snoop, Pac, Biggie, and 50 are still the biggest faces of hip hop worldwide.

    Also, Kendrick is more commercially successful than Cole. Humble is even Diamond eligible.

    You forgot Drake. For the rest you're right
