i could of bought wayne for like 0.175 million
that same artist today is worth 175 million
LMFAO
west meaning the western world not the west side of the United States
apologies for the confusion
if we’re going to do this i went to my own country of origin in africa and they played hov on the radio they played 4:44 last time i went there even so f*** off
Pretty much agree in most ways, I hope someone improves on drake next tbh
The only thing not perfect about Drake’s career has been the inconsistent quality of albums
If someone could run it like him while dropping classic albums consistent that would be crazy
Maybe drake will actually do it in the next 10 years. It has been a rough 6 years tho I gotta say
Those albums u dislike are all gonna be remembered for the music still
Wayne himself is better than Jay. Jay the best businessman the game has ever seen, not even close to the best rapper.
Not thinking Jay is the goat is one thing but saying he’s “not even close” to being the best rapper is f***ing ridiculous
Those albums u dislike are all gonna be remembered for the music still
That's literally every album
12% australian is insane tbh
nah i refuse to believe 1 out of 8 users here are from the land of kangaroos there’s just no way
Fr Ive never seen an Aussie post here
Its the obvious right answer
Seriously, if you put your bias aside hes the only answer
writes his own rhymes
wrote hits for others
lyrical
street
pop
rnb
rock
underground
mainstream
never fell off
battle tested (rap beefs)
classic album(s)
legendary record label
signed multiple icons
Beyonce is just a bonus lmao
weezy right
the only ones disagreeing are the dweebs on ktt that started listening to rap in 2016
when we start talking about the goats, international appeal has to be a factor we consider, whether you like it or not
not at all
please don’t ever discuss hip hop again
it’s clear u genuinely have no idea wtf u are saying

True but honestly I think inconsistency is apart of the game when you’re constantly putting yourself out there as an artist.
Drake drops pretty much every year or every other year and the years where he hasn’t dropped he’s active in the loosies and feature side of things.
It’s rare af to get a Kanye 2004-maybe 2013 type of artist
thread is a reminder to ignore all European takes on hip hop

Like I think Wayne is the best ever and he has so much music that not all of it is gonna be amazing or even good but it doesn’t matter because he’s flooded the people with hours of great music
But the rappers you named basically are nowhere near the GoAT conversation for other factors
You mentioned 50 and Snoop lmao
It doesn’t matter if they are big where you’re from, they aren’t even top 20
i don’t disagree
1) f*** you, hiphop wouldnt exist if it wasnt for africa
2) jay z is not less popular than other rappers outside of the west
no genre of music wouldn't exist if it wasn't for africa. that does not mean that pop culture isn't entirely routed through the west in 2022
Really? The DR and PR are considered the west? They sure as s*** dont get treated like western countries
politics and socioeconomic status have nothing to do with my statement. it's entirely rooted in geography. beyond that, all of the major latin artists are signed to US based labels.
Hov and Wayne like the Bible
Old Carter = Old Testament
New Carter = New Testament
Those albums u dislike are all gonna be remembered for the music still
Of course and I wouldn’t say I dislike them
It’s just drakes only weakness really is you can’t put his album catalog against the best of them
But he’s still top 2 I’m just saying theoretically that would be the even more perfect artist if someone could pull off what drake has pulled off but also with a flawless album catalog. That would maybe the next evolution
