Valentinef*** that stupid ass list. It doesn’t even have the other king of this s*** on there. this s*** came out December 2003 and by 04’ niggas whole fashion senses started changing who could relate. nigga Jay was s***ting on the Em/D12 and Cam’s for their fashion senses (big jerseys, Mitchell & Ness hats)
You niggas think beef just came out of nowhere? HOV was hating and splitting the culture between men and young boys

Hov influenced the game with his rapping ability, not writing anything down, and his hustle and business acumen
Oct 31, 2025·2 repliesValentinethere shouldn’t even be a Carti on the list

If we were on the timeline where Jay proudly talked about writing his bars then Wayne would probably talk about writing his bars & we wouldn't have all the Wayne inspired rappers just freestyling their tracks
Jay's 48 Laws Of Power trick of trying to seem effortless basically butterfly effect warped rap
We could've been saved by bars like 'HOV Pencil, now cats see me as a stencil, but I did it in bought cars, nary a rental'
instead of 'Hall of Fame, did it all without a pen'

I don’t think Pharrell would take any offense to being called a rapper in the 2000s on top of his producing ability
he thinks it’s all just self expression and never got hung up on these labels for a reason cause it becomes pointless lists like these where you’re tryna justify dance music to me to a nigga who raps and did it consistently in the 2000s as a solo artist

yall can think he has negative influence and that’s fair, but there’s no debate at this point that carti is the most influential rapper of the 2020s and thus belongs on the list

Also it’s crazy a publication understands that Wayne is more influential on hip-hop than Kanye which I’ve said for years
Straight Hip Hop yeah, Ye influence was a whole other wave

Playboi Carti is not Nikola Jokic
I’d put Travis before him if you focusing on 2020s. that niggas online influence is so f***ing overrated man. nigga took 5 years, 2 album cycles and multiple failed tour attempts just to pull of a rage tour Travis been doing since 2018. nigga took the party never ends and make that s*** darker and ran with it he don’t deserve s*** lmfao
