To be fair putting kanye kendrick and travis as the kings of the decade is the stupidest idea of the day

culture wise 2000s were legendary and the epitome of hip hop culture. hip hop wouldnt be the same these days without the 2000s.

l hear u

Three 6 fan at all?

"i started listening to rap in 2016" starter pack

80s and 90s and the first half of the 10s imo were the pinnacle eras of hip hop culture

Hip hop culture was corny as f*** in the mid-to-late 2000s. Early 2000s were dope though

Putting Travis above Drake alone just clearly makes this a bait thread

And I honestly didn’t really f*** with anything Drake made after Views

"Underground Vol. 1" is my all time favorite album and I listened to it twice today

Mystic Stylez in my top 20 all time any genre too

This is everyone who started listening since 2008 really. It's a generational thing.

i’d argue that the 2000s may have changed the landscape the most

we’re still feeling the influence of so many artists from that era

Good shyt

Devil’s Playground def my fav three 6 release, such an eerie project

Whether u want to admit or not the 2010s would be a lot worse without drake in it

All made great music but
Take Care , Nwts, Iyrtitl and views also came out

idk, the 2000s had JaRule, lotta random beefing, ringtone rap, and the peak of fake thuggin in music

his influence is hard to pinpoint but the game would not even be close to what it is today without him

also the 2000s hip hop culture is slowly making a comeback as well.

this dude gotta be trolling if he says the 2000s were corny. literally the greatest era for hip hop culture

Drake is the greatest hitmaker in rap history. To exclude him in his best decade so far is a pathetic attempt to troll. Grow up

Views is his worst by a mile. You should've use More Life to back your statement that s*** was gas

To be very clear, Kanye puts out better ALBUMS than Drake, generally speaking.

Quite frankly, Both of these dudes have engaged in very questionable behavior over the years.

At the end of the day, they both make good music that serves the masses in different ways and you have to be a clown to not think the single most commercially dominant, SoundCloud birthing hip hop artist of the decade wouldn’t be included in some tier of “Kings” or whatever.

Eminem is corny as hell and you’d still have to give him his credit in the 2000s, so let’s not be choosy here.

Drake has 4 classics and I regularly listen to IYRTITL

I literally just prefer Kendrick, Kanye, and Travis. That's it. Danny Brown, Tyler the Creator, SpaceGhostPurrp, Death Grips, Big KRIT, Chief Keef, Future, etc, were all on fire too, as was and is Drake.

I just like Kendrick, Kanye, and Travis at another level. It's not even a diss y'all are wild

facts. i dont like ems music but i cant deny he isnt a staple in hip hop culture.

Em in the first half of the 2000s obviously ran it and it's revisionist history to say otherwise but his music doesn't do much for me at this point, being completely honest. MMLP is a major classic when I'm not trying to get stans pissed off but I genuinely can't stomach how bitter and hateful it is too much.

Yea but that doesnt nullify the influence that artists like ye, t pain, wayne, cudi, gucci, kast had on music that the game’s still replicating to this day

those artists created whole sonic landscapes that jn 2021, still haven’t been fully explored

Okay cool, that still doesn't change my statement lmao

It doesn't

People just literally randomly coming at me for not putting him in the OP even though I didn't mention him or anyone else aside from Kendrick, Kanye, and Travis

I think if OP added “in my opinion” or “to me personally” to the title it would kill a lot of the controversy but it wouldn’t do the numbers so
