By Objective Metrics, Carti and Boldy James have been more active. Even Billy Woods has been more active. Tyler even.

The only argument for most active mainstream rapper of 2025 are Drake and Carti.

Both of them are the only two mainstream rappers that released upwards of 25+ songs during the year, and were on numerous tours as well.

Drake even began rolling out a second project, something Carti didn’t do this year

Bro said Billy Woods and boldly James lol

Drake dropped one album and is on a promo run for another album. How is he more active than Carti who just dropped one album?

We're also forgetting Ye

He “released” AI songs, Nazi anthems, and a three-year old demo album.

We ain’t forgetting anything

And is touring that album currently

If we're going to qualify all the music then someone could say the Drake music isn't all Hip-Hop.

I’m not “qualifying” anything, I’m saying anyone that took Ye output seriously in 2025 is a clown

He literally released a song called Heil Hitler

We all know the words to that song tho so it seems he got it off

We know the words to the song because it’s the only rap song in the history of the genre to be called Heil Hitler

That's mainstream gimmicky as it was

They already forgot about that Carti slop

Even if you include the tours Drake is still more active because he’s toured as well lol

Carti's done more dates tho and he's still touring till December

Drake did two tours this year lol. What are we doing man?

Bro been more active than any other rapper. The fact that his fanbase is acting like he’s been absent is just proof that his new music is slop to even his fanbase

Why do drake stans keep shifting between narratives of rap being dead because he's not active and him having a great year because of $$$4u

Carti was brought up numerous times what are you talking about

Carti also doing two tours this year. Started off touring with The Weeknd and is now headlining his own tour.

Aight man. Drake the second most active. That make you feel better?

We can't forget YB too so 3rd. Preciate this dialogue. Full rankings reveal soon land.

Either way you wanna slice it the music ain’t sticking for his fanbase since yall keep saying he’s been absent from the game as an active and touring rapper 😹

We're in the Dot Era so I don't know why y'all keep bringing up Drake. Drake isn't hip-hop or have y'all forgotten?

Drake

whatever happened to iceman? are we still in the midst of the rollout for that or has it been scrapped?

We’re bringing up Drake because Drake fans keep trying to say rap is dead because he wasn’t been active
