50 is definitely more influential but André's technical ability is enough to put him up there IMO, I love Kendrick but I wouldn't say he's v influential necessarily
Yeah its definitely andre over 50 rap wise but impact as solo artist? Idk 50 whole wave was crazy
Outkast and 50 influenced some of the same rappers too.
Cole cited both 50 and Andre as influences.
Drake cited both 50 and Andre as influences.
Etc.
Other than that, they influenced different types of rappers. Many street rappers from Schoolboy Q to Freddie Gibbs to Keef to 21 Savage to Polo G to Youngboy to Migos to others cited 50 as an influence.
Alternative and genre bending rappers like Bino, Tyler, Vince, ASAP Rocky, Earthgang, BOB, etc. cited Outkast/Andre as an influence.

It's tricky, like I'd personally value ability over impact but 50's run was insane, I see where you're coming from, I think it says something that pretty much everyone agrees with almost all of the list tho
Still has the undisputed worst fanbase in rap but ive outgrown my hate for him
MMLP, SSLP, TES, and Relapse are classics
Thug said he cant rap 2 andre 3k songs and 21 went and remade many men lol
I dont believe him
I personally separate GOAT hiphop artists from GOAT rappers. Kanye is arguably the greatest hiphop artist of all time but idk if I would put him on my GOAT rapper list

2/4 of those are classics IMO

Idk about 50 and Kendrick (yet) but I guess it’s not bad. I think you’re right and em probably has to be there if we’re counting sales and impact.
