2025 Carti is better than 2025 Drake. At least for me.

Back in 2016, Drake was still my #1 favorite artist and even I predicted that year that in a few years’ time Chance would be battling for his position because that seemed to be the trajectory of where things were going at the time. I promise you that prediction was not rooted in spite and hate lmao, at the time one rapper being the most popular for fifteen years straight was simply unheard of

The problem is yall think the face of rap = whoever sells the most albums and that’s not the case

nah
2011 is Wayne
2020 is lil baby

Probably but that’s only because Drake didn’t drop an album that year. If CLB dropped that year like planned it would’ve been him.

Could’ve been Pop too if he hadn’t have passed away, RIP

Most niggas are taking my turn over CLB anyway

And 2011 was absolutely NOT Wayne what are we talking about

Both albums suck imo but CLB has better individual songs

Wayne was most dominant rapper of 2011 what are we doing ☠️

Sales alone don’t make you the face man, at the time Carter IV was seen as a big regression from Carter III

Two legends literally teamed up to drop a collab album because they were worried about one guy, how you could say Drake wasn’t the face in 2011 is beyond me

It was still loved by GP and wayne had numerous hit features including one of biggest songs on take care.

He was popular, that alone doesn’t make him the face

Was Em the face in 2010 or 2013? Of course not

When I think of the face of rap in 2015 I think of Future

i would give future 2015 and kendrick 2017 as well tbh

i would say em has 2010 honestly.

I can argue Drake's 2011 being better than Wayne's

better or bigger is different though

Both

It was so obviously Kanye in 2010

2015 was like 60% Future 40% Drake

More like 80/20. Now that I think about it maybe even 90/10

album dropped late 2010 though idk

if you picked 5 i would say em kanye nicki drake wayne

Nah don’t do that lmao

IYRTITL was huge and is probably the one Drake project that received universal acclaim upon release. The Meek beef, Hotline Bling, then finishing the year with WATTBA as a victory lap.

Drake has a legit argument for 2015, I just think Future takes the slight edge

He was doing GOOD Fridays from August until the end of the year. Em definitely had a huge year commercially, but Kanye had the culture in a chokehold in 2010

WATTBA should’ve been future only tbh
