Both artists started and ended the decade remarkably strong. (Talking about quality of music, not solely popularity/sales)

Drake is not in this conversation since he hasn't had a great album/projects since IYRTITL (More Life is decent tho)

Kanye had it in the bag with Yeezus and TLOP, but everything since Ye has been meh

Kendrick dropped Section 80, GKMC, TPAB, and DAMN. All these projects have aged wonderfully

Thug has dropped RGTTP1, Barter 6, BTG, Jeffery, Slime Seasons, and SMF. All of these projects aged ridiculously well.

Meanwhile ASAP Rocky started the decade 'well' but fell off pretty bad by 2016.
Cole was never great, some good music on every project. FHD his closest thing to being good.

Future did great most of the decade, but music definitely hit a decline with High Off Life.

Drake obviously dominated in terms of relevancy and popularity, but if we're talking in terms of consistent music throughout the decade he is not touching Thugger or Kendrick.

Let me know your thoughts and opinions on this matter KTT2.

The only 2010s goats

Jeffery Lamar Williams
Kendrick Lamar Duckworth

Coincidence? You decide

2 goats

Damn is mid, More life>>>

GKMC the best album of the decade tho

Damn is my least favorite Kendrick project
SMF my least favorite Thug project

Both were still revolutionary

Lamar 🤯

Future >>>>>

How is High off Life a dip on quality?

Can’t take my opinions? That’s sad

I agree, both dominated in their respective lanes. Thug helped mutate the form of traditional rapping and Kendrick perfected the art of conscious rap while keeping it at a level of accessibility and universality to really connect

It is definitely a dip in quality TF you mean?

Please do not tell me you think High Off Life is better than 56 Nights, HNDRXX, Honest, DS2...

"Drake obviously dominated in terms of relevancy and popularity, but if we're talking in terms of consistent music throughout the decade he is not touching Thugger or Kendrick."

I feel like drake was doing this too all the way up to 2016 and then again in 2017

Take care to nwts to IYRTITL to more life puts him up there

Very forgettable album that is carried by Life is Good

Obviously no, them projects classics

But even if High off Life ain't like them projects, i think it holds up well

Views and Scorpion brings him down immensely

Thug and Kendrick have never dropped a body of work as low effort as Scorpion

Take Care and NWTS two of my favorite albums of all time, but Drake has not been on that wave anymore lets be real

I never said High Off Life was bad

I just said it was a sharp decline in quality for Future

Obviously still one of my favorite artists

Kanye set the bar with MBDTF

I love Thug but you can't dominate without being the most successful. That's just a fact

how you gonna talk about “dominating a decade” and then exclude drake because you personally don’t like his music LMAO

Thug was better than Drake and Kendrick tho that's a fact

He's literally becoming one of the most successful artists in the hip hop industry ?

His albums he dropped over half a decade ago are going gold/plat after doing 16k first week.

This is a sign of HUGE growth

Drake

Thug

Kendrick

Future

Meek

Migos

Cole

Wayne/Gucci/Ye came right of 00s and their effect was also felt all last decade

Ross and MMG had an impact in the early 10s
