Or Eminem?

Pac prolly in the mix too. I think it’s between these 4

50

I think Drake held on to his peak fan base better though

In retrospect

By that I mean those fans still spinning his peak records on a daily in this streaming world

50 cent was so popular in europe that i thought he’d outsell kanye in their fake beef

Drake so popular no one outsold him

Just give 50 Cent that op we know that Drake is more popular overall

50 era was different

50 cent’s peak is shorter but that is not the question u asked

Probably Eminem

realistically it’s Drake but he along with virtually every rapper since benefitted a lot from the commercial spotlight Eminem put on hip hop at the time

Eminem’s peak is unlike anything ever seen or will ever be seen in the genre. He took it worldwide and brought more eyes to it ever before. It was genuinely wild to live in that era and see hip hop go from something you blasted on a cd player or someone’s boombox to hearing it everywhere on pop radio and performed at the Grammys.

That don’t count as peak though, that’s sustaining

Wayne when Lollipop dropped

nah lol

Drake peak bigger in USA
50 peak bigger globally

Eminem* biggest globally

At least this is a better question than Nelly vs Future

50 cent was bigger globally than drake. but in north america drake peak bigger.

50 cent still rackin up overseas streams

ENOUGH

You’re wrong.

about?

50 cent one of most viewed rappers globally on youtube for 2022

50 had the balkans on smash

man youngboy would be running s*** if he wasn’t on house arrest and he didn’t drop every 3 months

the fact that 50 still on here and i couldn’t name you a song he’s dropped in the past 10 yrs is honestly a testament to his legacy

Drake is difficult to gauge because he kinda ran s*** already for a couple years, before views and scorpion put him on a diffrent level mainstream wise.

50 ran s*** like crazy though, nigga was so big that even his weed carriers were selling a million albums and everyone wanted to cop them g unit sneakers and clothes.

em

Nope, wayne was never that big international tbh

50 was jesus
