Uzi and Juice never put up big numbers either

Most of their hits all charted between in the 30s-40s outside a select few

Uzi’s biggest album probably ever was EA and that was hugely because of XOTL momentum and all the hype/antics surrounding his hiatus and album issues.

exactly bruh

as someone who was in HS during the peak of that wave, there are maybe 12 notable soundcloud rappers that will legitimately be remembered and respected for their music, probably less. the rest are gonna be working regular jobs in a couple years or are doing so right now

but they aint outselling them tho

Who gives a f*** what they sell other than their label and themselves

put me on to those songs cause xo tour life is an amazing song

I mean let's be real 30s-40s on the charts is blowing every new act besides yeat out the water

yes and where are the notable tiktok rappers? there's none that are touching the best of the souncloud wave except maybe Yeat

I think LIR2 is his biggest album commercially

(and his best album too idc what y'all think)

Sad by X peaked in the top 10 and Lucid dreams was in the top 5 for like a whole year lol. This is when they were alive

You just named their two biggest hits when I said most what r u doing

Here's one, I'll post more in a sec

you acting like charting on the billboard is easy lol. Most of these rappers can't even touch the billboards

TikTok trash in every way

Not even correlated to what I was responding to him about

OP just another chart watcher this is why KTT is going down the gutter

real

I've heard her before she's dope. This ain't xo tour life level but i respect it

drake is the best soundcloud rapper he has many billboard 100 hits

This is why #s don’t matter cuz Yeat has a handful of songs that a bunch of that demographic would know, similar to that handful of hits juice and x had while alive

I only brought up #s cuz this site acts like anything not in the Top 10-20 is trash when a lot of the mentioned hits didn’t even chart high. Why billboard doesn’t tell the full story when it comes to this cuz GBGR sold what, 50-60k I think but half the songs on their are “hits” and only Lucid Dreams really charted high

March Madness didnt chart …

there's a few I could think of tbh

Jack Harlow, 24KGoldn,Slump6s, BKTheRula NLE Choppa, Babysantana, SoFaygo, Kentheman, Megan Thee Stallion, ssgkobe, Kaash Paige (not rly a rapper but still)
but the fact that lots of them are making progress in the industry based on their music and not the spectacle of them being d*** addicts or wannabe shooters or domestic abusers (lots of love for XXX and his music but lets be real), make this era miles better than the sc days because their careers will have Longevity. majority of the sc rappers fell off before their 2nd album.

Yeah this might be the best answer right now @choppaflex + it’s too early to tell maybe without letting our nostalgia/past eras hold too much bias

Also comparing SoundCloud to TikTok is stupid

Entirely different platforms for entirely different purposes

You could much more effectively compare “vine rappers” to “TikTok rappers” and even then you’d realize its stupid because both would be a list of whatever was popping at the time

Yes but that's not really OPs point

We are talking about popularity and relevancy not music quality
