Am I that out of touch how is Don Toliver above Drake?

He got more hot records out over the past two years

album dropped before iceman. Less tracks. Gets more daily streams. and had more hits.

“As soon as they like you make em unlike you” - Kanye Kardashian-West, 2013

Lol people wanna do this everytime Ye reaches an artistic/success high point and he intentionally ruins it everytime

Nahhh stay on that side

What white man does Lil Tony or Nino Paid have to sign a contract with to start being on lists and conversations like this lol

Complex puts these lists out to remind people that they exist since they end up making people livid. Kinda what Pitchfork does when they randomly give people low ratings. You forget about these platforms otherwise.

honestly doesn't make sense but it's true somehow

Drake stans not gonna like this one, he supposed to be the one saving hip hop rn

In what world is Cole over Kendrick lol

Not in sales, album reception, culture or tour and GNX lasted better than it is for so much longer

KOD > TPAB

this can’t be right where’s rod wave?

trying to see a drake tour that brings in a 1/10th of the interest as kanye's

Its wild Kanye still has pull like this after everything he’s done

Hits come and go but artistic statements are forever

What did Devil in a New Dress chart at lol

number 1 album this week and not in the top ten on this list anymore after being hounded by opium stans

travis youngboy carti all shouldn’t even be this high

The major artists in hip hop have had a weak 2026

Let's hope next year is better

I guess now that Coonye has bent the knee to them folks, they will slowly allow him back into the spaces he was barred from

J Cole

unironically if ken carson is here rod should definitely be on here

2000’s Shawn Michaels Ye might have a few more classics left but wayne cole drake tyler ye baby veeze etc all recently dropped or are dropping by the end of the year

Travis and Tyler aint saving us next year

Lmaoo the genre is cooked until we have like 3-5 completely new names in this convo

New names never gonna happen if streaming is the medium

Random ass list. So if Jay Z next show he brings out a bunch of LA artists does he become number one? What is the criteria?

How so?
