GoshYou’re focused on the semantics and wasting my time
The point is that a white woman and street rapper shouldn’t be compared, idk if it’s ADHD medication or what, but I’m not debating you
Rap was at one of its peaks during Wayne’s run, argue with chat gpt nigga
What years are you counting? cause 07-09 no it wasnt and those stats are inflated by tpain, pittbull, flo rida, tai cruz and pop crossovers ☠️

Rap music was experiencing a peak during Wayne’s mixtape run and if you need the charts to tell you that then you won’t ever get it
- Oct 31, 2025·1 replyGosh
You think a damn teenager is studying the charts at the time or burning CDs everyday in 2007?
The mixtape era was 100% a peak and contributed to Wayne’s success, give a damn what the charts say
Yea mixtape era helped Wayne grow no one is denying that. But rap was way smaller and not as mainstream. Yea in terms of music it was a peak bit its popularity no.

As far as i know doechiis first stuff was like 2019/2020.
I consider all three of Doechii, Sabrina, Yb to be new stars. Idk if I’d call Doechii a star but that’s a different convo. New artist I guess

Of course not I would never
His dominant presence during that time was a peak whether it was commercial or not, but it definitely had huge commercial benefit for him and everyone around him
And everyone who was able to utilize mixtapes at the time benefited as well

See I count that class as 2020s artists. Even though they came out from like 17-19 they reached their peaks in the 2020s

When someone hit their peak doesn’t define what decade they belong to though. It’s a combination of when they started making music, when they broke through, and when they first experienced significant commercial success

Michael Jackson didn’t release his first solo album as an adult until 1979.
Is The Weeknd a 2020s artist because his peak was After Hours? No.
Is Kendrick a 2020s artist because his peak was 2024/2025? No.
Is Beyonce a 2010s artist because her peak was 2016? No.
Even Future had his highest first week sales ever in 2024, peak don’t mean anything when it comes to what decade an artist belongs to

You’re talking about it niggas that came out in 2010-2012. That’s not the same as YB and them coming out 17-18 and then fully blowing up in the 2020s

YB came out in 2016, achieved mainstream relevance in 2018, and had one of the highest first week album sales in rap in 2019
It’s not like the guy dropped one or two projects in the 2010s and found his stride in the 2020s (à la Carti); he had 10+ projects out by the end of the 2010s
And idek how you could say his peak is right now too, Masa sold half of what AI Youngboy 2 did
His tour is just popping because it’s his first real tour ever

His peak is AI YB2 - Last Slimeto and that was in the 2020s
You keep saying he came out in 2016 like Gortex said he was a baby. And 38 baby came out at like the last month of 2016 too.
Oct 31, 2025GoshWayne was developed during raps peak and solidified himself during the commercial peak of rap, that’s also just semantics
You really bout to argue with me that a street rapper and Sabrina carpenter shouldn’t be compared?
Wayne had the biggest debut of the year in 2008, across all genres, and C3 was the biggest album of the year, across all genres.
No other rap album was in the top 5 best selling albums that year
Why are you downplaying rap numbers like it can't compete with popstars?

He turned 18 in 2017, he wasn’t like 12 years old lmao
I just don’t know how you could say a guy with 10+ projects in a decade by the end of said decade doesn’t belong to that decade
He was signed to a major label and everything
It’s not like Carti who dropped literally two projects in the 2010s and then hit a different level in the 2020s. He makes more sense being called a 2020s artist than YB does in my opinion

He releases like 3-5 projects a year. Thats just how he drops music.
Before AI YB 2 he was just seen as a YouTube rapper or a street rapper regardless of his numbers.
2020s he had like 4-5 number one albums
