we appreciate your input

yea that’s when i stopped taking this s*** that serious lol

best rapper of the year for being the robin to drake’s batman on her loss

by far the worst pick

Anaconda, Bang Bang with Ariana, Pinkprint.. her album wasn’t that big outside of radio play…. So it was huge? Much bigger than Monster

I’m not asserting futures music is “better” cuz I listen to him more but yeah Nicki definitely had more motion than future commercially that year not even close

yb literally a better pick then

"commercially"

it aint about that. Future had way more motion than nicki did at the time, nicki was just making pop songs with katy perry

nah Dababy definitely ran 2019 that’s an understandable choice plus it was a light rap year anyways

It’s a big part of it, it’s not just a metric of “who’s better” which can’t remotely be measured.

Future was heating up but Nicki was doing bigger things

if thats true why is Chance on this s*** or Pusha or Tyler?

Carti or Clipse shouldve been the obvious choice

Rap politics, whatever reviewer in-house who likes their music more at the time, public perception. yeah commercial stats are a big part it’s not the only thing.

Sounds like Pusha obviously got it 2018 b/c his album was critically acclaimed that year + (Drake beef)

right so its not just sales cause pusha not selling s*** its motion

Future had more motion in 2014

also in quite a few more years which is why this list is ass

I’m not saying future shouldn’t have gotten it 2014 or whatever just it’s not crazy Nicki got it that year.

And for her to be with dababy or 21 or whatever lmao

chloe hotline better

they gave him this s*** in exchange for a cover story

yeah 21 case even worse than nickis

I mean I ain’t really arguing with you over which artist did or didn’t get each year tbh so the list will probably be ass next year idk

just that nicki was still putting in work that year despite your thoughts

this cover hard as f*** i aint gon lie

I’m sure it is tbh

youngboy, lil wayne and kodak are the only rappers with presidential pardons

I didn’t say it was just sales I said commercially was a big part of it tbf, not the only part.

But since we have two definitions of “motion” I guess it doesn’t matter

I thought having bigger charting songs and more commercial success was a quantifier for motion even if future was doing more within the genre explicitly it’s not like Nicki wasn’t a rapper anymore so idk

it just didn’t seem that weird she got it that year

Nicki went crazy in 2014 TBH

But Future should've had 2015 or 2016

That was my thought too.

Even 2017 with mask off and those double albums he dropped

And the kings dead feature

Future was just reaching that crazy commercial success nicki already had around that point

He had so many better years to get it instead of 2025
