Em, Snoop, 50, Pac and BIG
The top 5 of worldwide rap popularity—likely forever lol
Can make argument those are the top 5 popularity peaks too
i'll argue that Dre is more known than Biggie worldwide
Eminem
Drake
50 Cent
Kanye West
Snoop Dogg
2Pac
Kendrick Lamar
Jay Z
Lil Wayne
Biggie
Nicki Minaj
Dr. Dre
Travis Scott
the biggest rappers of all time
When a g unit centric song from the prime 50 era comes on s*** just hits different
The other night mob deeps have a party came on and turned the whole bar up
why are people surprised about 50 having bigger numbers than Wayne lmao, GRODT and The Massacre are bigger worldwide than any Wayne album and that's facts, this is not about who you prefer
Wayne eats 50 alive lyrically and it's not close
Since when do ya’ll care about lyrics tho? Lmao
50 hits hold up way better than Wayne hits
This isn't really a numbers thread.
More so a shocking one as 50 hasn't put out a relevant album since 2007 while Wayne has been far more active.
They still wear G Unit in Croatia. He'll be eating for life
50’s hits are way more iconic than Wayne‘s hits
Yup
dude they still haul 50 out to perform 2-3 go to songs at huge events randomly, he has more anthemic hits
i'll argue that Dre is more known than Biggie worldwide
Maybe right on that one. Dre is the ultimate king maker

4 of the 5 have Hollywood movies about them
Dre got SOC film
Only other rappers I can see a successful biopic being made about are Kanye....maybe Jay? Diddy? lol
Lot of great "straight to streaming" rap biopics but to be a huge movie I think only about 5-10 rappers would work.
People underestimate how big 50 is globally you got random people in like Bulgaria knowing every word to Many Men
It cannot be overstated how big In Da Club is. It clears every Wayne song by a huge margin. It’s going to pop up a lot in algorithms of casual rap fans and that’s all it takes to gain a monthly listener.
I always say this but as far as europeans are concerned the only rappers that exist are Em, 50, Snoop, kanye, Pac, and whatever non-english speaking rappers that have over there
Dont forget Pitbull. Its not a night out if there arent at least 3 songs playing

i don’t think people underestimate how big he is it’s just mindblowing he still has this impact off 1 album that came out over 20 years ago. his run was extremely short compared to guys like wayne who put out hits in multiple eras
