In the 80s, the big four were Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth & Metallica. 1990s saw this shift to Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains & Soundgarden. The 2000s had Lil Wayne, Kanye, Eminem and T.I. and the 2010s were dominated by Kendrick Lamar, Drake, J Cole & Meek Mill.

KTT2, who are the current big 4 of the 2020s?

Jay-z?

Since when was meek in the same tier as the other 3

I know when I hear Meek Mill I connect it back to Slayer immediately.

So is this big 4 across all genres?

Carti

Meek?

Think you mean Nicki

50 cent not in the big 4 of the 00s?

Yup, all genres. The artists that were really dominating the airwaves in their respective decades

Carti, Baby, YB and Gunna prob

50 & Hov were considered for the 2000s, but I ultimately opted for the current selection. I feel like the four I listed edged it out.

Meek

Shouldn’t MJ be in the 80s?

Yeat, Noah Oliver Smith, Luh Geeky and that guy who is obsessed with Tonkas.

Anthrax was probably a little bigger

Ain't no top 4. It's just the same ol top 3. Aubs Kendrick and Cole. Or a top 2, cuz kendrick doesn't really drop anything

i don't really believe that there can be anymore. there's so many artists that blow up or are mainstream, but aren't all that compelling enough to count as a "big 4." music is so saturated but the quality has sunk.

Yeat
Carti
Cordova
Kendrick

MJ never shredded a guitar like Scott Ian

That was my fifth choice but indeed, very close

Baby Keem
Don Toliver
Remble
Duke Deuce

For rap in the 2010s it was Drake, Kendrick, Nicki and Cole or Future

Rn it’s Lil Baby, Doja and two other people I guess

Worst thread ever
