Current Events > So now that Drake is 1-2 in major rap beef where the highest you rank him ?

(+) Yeah! (+)

lil nas x is a mainstream rapper

you can't put him in the same sentence as a backpack rapper like tyler lol

VD and Scotty managed to out shitpost TC

Impressive

Tyler the Creator is as mainsteam as it gets lol.

None of this is in my lane, but yeah pretty much. I couldn't name you 48 other pop stars or 49 other bands so point is kinda moot. I assume Survivor is indeed considered one of the best reality television shows so uhh... Yeah.

the fact he only has 28m goes to show he's not relevant anymore

snoop's time was 90s to 2000s, before spotify

So Lil Nas X is relevant and mainstream, but one person with more streams than him is some obscure indie act and another is an outdated legacy act? What?

I only started shit posting when I realized I was arguing with people who werent qualified to have this conversation on the first place.

ive given anyone who gave an intelligent response a legit answer

More like you realized your takes were awful and are trying to save face

drake riding wayne's coattails definitely helped imo.

you guys remember mixtape wayne? what a time to be alive.

less than 50m streams isn't as mainstream as it gets lol

Remember drake and futures mixtape that was literally called what a time to be alive

what a time to be alive

Then assume I'm fucking talking about something you are familiar with.

If you ask people to name the best X, Y, or Z, very few people are going to list the factually best selling whatever and call it a day. Very few people are going to have 2010s Call of Dutys and Maddens on their best video games of all time lists. No one is going to name the Macarena as one of the clear best 90s songs. "But it's popular so it has to be good!" Nope.

Of course most popular doesn't translate to greatest. Acting as if popularity = bad is ridiculous though

You use a different version of mainstream then. You don't just suddenly not become mainstream because you're not AS popular now.

Third Eye Blind 5 million streams. Mainstream af.

Hell Eminem has 66 million so he's barely making the cut.

Mac Miller....24 million.

Eminem's music widely agreed to be trash since Revival in 2017 lol. MMLP2 in 2013 is the last time he was really relevant. He has 66m monthly streams on Spotify so he hasn't completely fallen off, but he's still a legacy act as those streams mainly come from his older material.

Drake is the most mainstream rapper of all. He's had such a prolific career and he still makes popular music.
Post Malone is probably the second most mainstream hip hop artist after Drake.
I would have considered Kanye to still be mainstream now but he tarnished his image with his antics. He still gets a lot of streams on Spotify, over 70m, but streaming isn't the end-all, be-all metric here.
I guess 21 Savage is someone I'd consider mainstream. 56m streams on Spotify is a fair bit more than Tyler's measly 30m. And he does have several hit singles.

There is no way drake isnt a top 20 rapper or all time, like no question.

And for the most part, Drake ain't rapping about s***. Even with the Meek Mill s***, he didn't win because he was a better rapper, but because he had the bigger hit.

And you're further proving that you can't read. Bolded:

You go entirely by streaming numbers

From the start I mentioned other factors like hit singles and album sales. You just suck at reading comprehension and strawman to hide it.

Okay so Tyler the creator surely is mainstream with his 2 number one albums, one #2 album and a number 13 single

Strange that you continue to look at his listeners as the reason hes not mainstream while propping up other artists based entirely on their numbers

again shut the fuck up lmao

bro really said "number 13 single" like that means anything lol

he has only three top 40 hits and the highest only hit 13, "mainstream as it gets" my ass. dude's a triple hit wonder, wow so amazing, cap

a truly mainstream, popular artist that has been in the game for years would have more than ten top 10 hits

His lowest debuting album debuted at #5 in 2011.

You claimed he disappeared after 2012

and then shifted that to 2015 despite him gaining a massive amount of mainstream popularity since then.
