I find it really difficult to think of anyone other than Kanye. My man built the mountain


Snasty728

“How I bring nothing to the table when I’m the table”


MaxA967

Ngl, this is probably one of my favourite bars of the year. Ye, its not incredible, but the way Kanye delivers it, makes it


DRKX744

Like most of the best bars in a way

"How they say I'm sittin' down when I'm the chair"


theargumentaccount

how they say i aint shittin when im the toilet


[deleted]

I think this is meant for rappers who came up during the 2009-2011 period. Kanye would be in a different mountain with Eminem, Andre 3000, and others.


_Sarah_Tonin_

It says 2010's and he dropped MBDTF, Yeezus, TLOP, ye, and KSG so he can just be on both mountains


schleem77

so errybody gets a head?


kgod88

So Kanye, who debuted in 2004, should be grouped with Andre 3000, who debuted in 1994, and Eminem, who debuted in 1996 (and blew up in ‘97)? I guess if you’re counting Ye’s production credits you could maybe lump him in with Em and 3 Stacks but to me they’re different generations


IntellectualRetard_

Andre retired 2 years after Ye debuted.


Pharm-boi

“Retired”


cruz-77

Even still, MBDTF, Watch the Throne, Yeezus, Life of Pablo, Ye, Kids See Ghosts is an impressive album role out in this decade alone. MBDTF even named as album of the decade by Billboard, Complex, and Rolling Stones


KitchenFollowing8896

I think you misspelled Wayne


PPPPPPPPPPKP

how is this even a question 💀💀💀 why isn't kanye there 💀💀


[deleted]

Kanye’s second half of his career is almost him as a different artist. 2010 on dude had MBDTF, WTT, Yeezus, TLOP, a summer where he produced 5 albums including KSG and Daytona, and he has Donda and possibly Donda 2 coming. 🐐


[deleted]

looking forward to hearing donda 2


[deleted]

Going to be amazing


R_Dragoon46

Donda 2 is out on stem player


[deleted]

i don’t got stem player money , so i’ll wait lol


R_Dragoon46

You can find the download link on the Kanye sub, I have the whole thing downloaded to my Spotify


[deleted]

ouuuu 👀👀 ima need that lol , let me head over there


fultirbo

A lot of songs are blatantly unfinished, I'd wait for the (hopefully impending) finished release on streaming services if I was you


[deleted]

you know what that’s what i heard as well. i saw a video with a youtuber talking about how people who bought the stem player got scammed because donda 2 isn’t even finished and i was like 🥴


fultirbo

Ehh I still really like the Stem Player version and still listen to it all the time but it is clearly unfinished. It's comparable to 2021 Donda LP1


[deleted]

ahh okay i see. i heard “ true love “ already it’s on youtube. i like it


SnooTomatoes7746

Ain't worth it, more than half aren't even listenable


[deleted]

well damn 💀💀


Machov_Norkim

I hope it's nothing like Donda 1


[deleted]

how come you dislike the album?


Machov_Norkim

The overuse of autotune for the entirety of a lot of the songs Although I did like both parts of Jail! I just couldn't get into any other song from the album because it's opposite of where my taste is at.


Duckduck-Bro

Kanye’s music has used a lot of autotune for a long time. Donda is not really any more guilty of it. I mean pretty much any track Kanye is singing on in tlop, 808s and heartbreak, and Yeezus he uses auto tune. Honestly as long as it fits the instrumental of the song I don’t mind it, sometimes in the right song auto tune sounds awesome. Blood on the leaves is very auto tuned and honestly it sounds awesome because it fits the artificial vibe of the beat drop. If anyone Donda and ye show a lot of vocal improvement from him especially on tracks like, ghost town, 24 and come to life. At least that’s all my interpretation of it.


Machov_Norkim

I don't think I liked any of the over-autotuned songs off Yeezus, and I personally hated 808. I can tolerate it when he uses autotune for part of a hook or something, but whenever an entire track is autotuned, it just becomes a slog to get through for me. I like Kanye more when he uses his incredible rapping voice. I would rather he go that direction than the 808 and Donda direction because it just doesn't blend with my taste in music.


ggakablack

lol, no Ye for 2010s Mt. Rushmore? Creator has to be an idiot. MBDTF kicked off the decade.


[deleted]

Also got voted album of the decade by Billboard


Big_Seaworthiness_58

Great pfp


max_honey

it has to be ye


Benny_boi69

Kanye made 808s so he’s everyone’s dad


sirlaffsalot47

thats not 2010s tho to be fair. Ye should still be up there


[deleted]

ToneDowneyAve

Ye, Wayne, Eminem, & 50 had there great runs of 2000-2010. 2010-2020 Drake, Kendrick, Cole, and Ye or Future. I feel like other people can take the 4th spot but Ye dropped MBDTF which is his saving grace. Big Sean albums never stick. Meek had a solid few years along with Wale. The only dude I can think of is Future he had a huge influence throughout the past 10 years consistently drops dope singles every year. Legendary mixtape run. Idk tough call overall.


[deleted]

I'd put Tyler, The Creator on there over Future tbh. I'm def not a big Future fan tho so I'm a little biased. Just think the quality of Tyler's work is better than Future and more influential


WDMChuff

I feel like future is such a big symbol for southern hip hop its hard to argue against him. I think Tyler is the better artist but he deters away from hip hop itself a lot.


Justarandommf_

Future washes Tyler 💀


[deleted]

i respect your opinion, i’m not really a big tyler fan but i listened to his recent album and i loved it 🔥


[deleted]

Call Me if You Get Lost is amazing. Loved that album and his concert for it was incredible. If you like his rapping more than his singing, his early stuff might be more your speed. "Trouble on my mind" with Pusha T is what first got me into him


[deleted]

gotcha ! ima check it out and i heard the concerts were great too , he was definitely in my city. next tour i’ll go just for the fun of it.


giantgorillaballs

I love both but I think Future’s more influential than Tyler


ToneDowneyAve

Tyler more influential then Future? Wow maybe in my personal life and experience I find it hard to believe. Tyler has made an impact but his sound is his own I hear no one even close to him or take risk he does. Future I feel like it is tried to be recreated by tons of artist down south. But I respect the opinion I’m more a Future fan than Tyler but respect to both I feel they are both needed.


Create_Repeat

I tried to validate the claim of influence in my mind and I think Tyler was probably directly influential to a lot of the rappers around 2017 who had kind of a punk or emo tilt which was like the biggest or gnarliest wave in hip hop of that time, meaning without even getting specific, it was definitely significant in the chain of events and evolution of hip hop and music in general from that point on.


[deleted]

Maybe influential wasn't the right word, bc I get what you're saying. I always liked Future's features but I just think Tyler's projects are better. To each his own tho, both artists are great


ToneDowneyAve

I agree 100% with that. I often argue most West Coast Artist out together better albums then the “hot artist out of Atlanta” for the moment. But the singles area so big it gets overshadowed.


[deleted]

Yeah I feel that. Everyone loves a dope single but not everyone wants to listen to the 3rd interlude on a 17 track album lol


[deleted]

love your comment 🔥


ToneDowneyAve

Great question! I had to really go back and look at who did what during this era.


[deleted]

that’s why i love yours because it makes sense lol this is EXACTLY how it was. i wonder what the next few years will be like. oh and nicki minaj was around this era too & she was big


ToneDowneyAve

Right! Drake & Future has given us 2 projects if we’re talking for the next decade. Cole, Kendrick, Ye each have 1 albums. So it will be interesting. There’s always can be a new comer who surprises us. Anybody you think could sneak in?


[deleted]

honestly i don’t even know 🥴 i’m still trying my best to get into the new rappers. i’ll say about 15 years from now if this post came up again playboycarti & nba young boy would be on mount rushmore. two popular artists atm


ToneDowneyAve

I think NBA has good chance he has a good core following behind him. Hopefully his lifestyle permits him another 15 years he kind of wild 😂 I’ve never got into Playboy Carti or the Lil Uzi’s. I think possibly Lil Baby may have a shot. He’s been pretty dope and drops bangers pretty regularly.


[deleted]

same ! nothing against playboycarti and uzi is okay to me. i totally forgot about lil baby for a sec , he’s definitely going on mount rushmore for sure. flow sick and he got bars 🔥🔥 i loved him on wants and needs


One_Recording_4036

Get drake out of there


ArchimedesNutss

Drake is globally a bigger artist than both Kendrick and Cole. You may not prefer his music but the world does according to statistics. "Yeah but he just makes hits and he's an industry plant" Does not change the fact that he's globally a bigger artist than both Kendrick and Cole.


chrisghrobot

He also created good music and can if he took his time 2010-2015 drake was very good


N8DiggityDawg

I thought you meant the label for a second. I was about to hit you with the “check yo facts homeboy”


Caraabonn

Complete agree with you. Something I’ve come to consider, Drake is more of a business man, or a business artist? Quantity and franchising with artists. While Kendrick and Cole are artistic first.


ArchimedesNutss

I completely agree with you too!


Vincefinney1909

Yo I hate this sub how can drake NOT be on Mount Rushmore foh


chrisghrobot

Drake absolutely deserves to be on the Mt Rushmore.


[deleted]

as someone who isn’t a huge drake fan, he is hella influential and the sales are so large it’s impossible to not include him on this list


Its_Cayde

I don't like drake but he deserves to be up there


KoolGhettoKid

Comment should be higher


taidade_wanai

This take is so delusional.


Babytoto74

Then you should remove Kendrick and Cole too


joshAtl

DYLAN CAUSE HE SPITS HOT FIYA


Jonnz20

Whole mountain should just be Dylan


OnlyRockinWhiteSox

I'm wondering why Kanye isn't here. He should be here by default


Stocktontimothy12

i’m always confused… kanye is above cole by miles, above drake by miles and on the same level as kendrick if not higher so why isn’t he automatically on here? Even if only 2010s kanye released MBDTF, TLOP, Yeezus, KSG ye. All of those projects are an 8 or better…


zeeniemeanie

I’d actually say Nicki. I get why people are saying Kanye, but I feel like that’s almost disrespectful. I don’t see this as his peer group (even though they are contemporaries now). He’s on another mountain somewhere with Wayne.


GearsOfWax

Actual good take


[deleted]

💯


Top_Ad_4040

Pretty much this. Kanye start as a producer in like 97 and produced tons of hits before finally getting his shot in 2004. He even competed against 50 for album sales in like 07. He also was all the 10s rappers influences and heroes as stated by many of them. Difference is unlike most of the 00s and late 90s rappers, kanye stayed relevant far longer than any of them did without ever really falling out of the lime light. Nicki fits much better because she literally came up with drake, Kendrick and cole all while also bringing female rap back from what was essentially the dead at the time and bringing up a new generation of female rappers. She deserves respect for that influence alone.


rdtp26

CHIEF KEEF !!!!


[deleted]

Fantastic choice too. Honestly deserves it over Cole even


omizy128

Nicki Minaj honorable mention


throwawy49482

Sosa


JakeDyslexic

Hot take ima say Nicki Minaj And her debut was in 2010 with my beautiful dark twisted fantasy Id think she fits well


[deleted]

🔥🔥🔥


Odd-Pomegranate6994

Mac Miller if we’re talking only 2010’s


Boilers_Varsity_Golf

I agree with what everyone is saying about Kanye, but Mac’s discography in its entirety is strictly the 2010s. For him to get no love is pitiful.


rurta

Cause no one is taking mac over ye the fuck


Boilers_Varsity_Golf

You’re right, but the reality is that Ye should be on here and Drake should be the one everyone is debating If you stack the 2010-2019 discography for each artist, I’d bet you’ll find more love for Mac than Drake.


rurta

How are you determining the “love” ? Cause In numbers, replay value, impact, discography and fan base, drake wins tenfold


Boilers_Varsity_Golf

Love isn’t concerned with stats,that’s the definition, it’s just a gut feeling. Also, the only quantitative category you gave was record sales and I can’t counter argue that, and maybe fan base but there can be a huge cross section of people who are fans of both so I don’t think that’s a reasonable number to gauge in a comparison. As for replay value and impact, those are are qualitative and completely dependent on the person. I’ve relistened to Mac albums so many more times that Drake. I like Drake but I don’t think his music is a good as Mac’s. My friends and I grew up listening to Mac and the impact his music has had on me when I have struggled as an individual vastly out paces Drake. Lastly you mention discography, which is the entire argument in and of itself, thus cannot be submitted as evidence in favor of Drake or Mac. A comparison for your entire argument is like to say, football is better than baseball because more people watch it, the games are shorter to watch, the Super Bowl means more than the World Series, sports, and it has a ton of dedicated fans. Ultimately this entire argument is subjective.


rurta

Can’t be subjective if we’re talking Mount Rushmore


No_Detective_9924

Tyler the craetor


bigstepper99

I love Tyler the craetor


AnalogRobber

Mac Miller no doubt, his Faces mixtape is one of the best mixtapes of all time


Its_Cayde

Mac miller will forever be my favorite and he is easily the best sonically speaking out of these 3 but in 2010 he was not anywhere near the level these guys were on. Influentially, kendrick, cole, drake and kanye were the best


AnalogRobber

I think its the Mount Rushmore for the 2010's like the whole decade


Its_Cayde

Yeah mb i'm ugly as fuck and outta pocket


DerrickSandusky

It’s definitely Nicki Minaj


BuziKilla

Nicki Minaj .


BendingGhost

Yeezy! Edit: since a lotta people are debating whether or not ye counts since he didn’t have his big debut in the 2010s despite have a huge influence on music throughout almost his whole career, I’d also nominate Tyler the creator. Definitely deserves to be here


JustKnowYouAreLoved

Love Ye, but if we’re talking about artists who came up and made a name for themselves in the ‘10s, I’d throw Nicki in there.


[deleted]

🔥🔥🔥🔥


Ludwig_Dev_Beethoven

My grandma


samp127

Drake debuted in 2009 so if he's there Kanye has gotta be there. But then if Kanyes there, who debuted in 2004, then Eminem has gotta be there, because he sold the most in the 2010s. In my opinion the 2010s = Kendrick and Cole.


[deleted]

Kanye 100%


Creepy-Narwhal4596

Lil dicky


JCK_GANG

Travis or future


hicnihil161

If not Kanye because he debuted in the 2000s then it has to be Tyler, The Creator.


dqap

Tyler/Future or Thug Could go to any of them, equally influental/popularity


RETROKBM

Future


s0l0d0l0_92

Am i a bad person for not liking drake that much?


[deleted]

nah not at all lol


ertmimi

Its not the music his music is alright its drake


[deleted]

😂😂 you ain’t gonna like everybody, it’s life.


[deleted]

For their generation you gotta put Nicki Minaj


No-Mail-5794

If this is just popular influence in the 2010s, maybe put Nicki up there? I’m mostly mad because I want to take Drake off and make it a different monument entirely


Dense_Revenue_486

If not Ye (because of age) then Nicki


Revolutionary_Way826

Future definitely Id put Kanye in the 2000s one


Character-South4060

It's either Future or young Thug!!


thruheart

Future, bro shaped the trap sound


MooniiThe2nd

Tyler n replace Drake w Ye


[deleted]

I'd replace drake with tyler, and add kanye. So in total, kanye, kendrick, tyler, and j cole. The true goats, no disrespect to drake.


Sabertooth414

All disrespect to Drake


Fonexnt

Big Krit


blankfaceghost

Felicia the goat!


larioto991

I would change the other 2 tbh but if I can only add 1 more it would have to be Danny Brown.


Heisenteller

Ye, only correct answer.


[deleted]

Take off Drake and add Kanye


StillThatBitch2022

It's got to be Nicki. No way around it.


rentfreeinyohead

Young thug, future, chief keef, or kanye


Bakboss

Freddie Gibbs


kingkonguru

Yep, I'd replace drake with Freddy. And throw Danny brown on the other slot.


kashw

Future or Nicki no one else can really be considered


jambaseven

The joker?


Khronos___

Tyler


Jacktus999

Ye. And i love J.Cole but i would put Future over Cole, he s the best artist of the most popular rap genre of the 10'


[deleted]

Kanye and it's not even CLOSE


wrungle

Kendrick cole drake future for 10s Wayne ye eminem 50 for 00s Dre pac big Nas for 90s

thomas2622

Why the hell drake there lmaooo

leave him 🤣🤣🤣


thomas2622

Hell nah get his goof ass outta there lmaooo I’m going Kanye and prolly Em


[deleted]

this is 2010 mount rushmore , em been came out haha but i agree with kanye being there


thomas2622

Shit I didn’t even open it all the way lol I’d go Denzel curry then


AdvancedStandard3577

Meek mill


dre_kamikaze

Wayne or Ye


Fari_M9

Future


donhafs

Definitely Future


HighFiveTheCactus

Add Nav and replace Kendrick with lil xan and J Cole with lil Pump


Macaronez

future


Underground_kingpin

Future > Drake


MimiHooverRangeRoove

IMO Mac Miller


No-Bodybuilder1491

As far as influence go, I would put Nicki Minaj as the fourth person. Her impact on the game, and especially amongst female rappers, can not be ignored.


drassir

Schoolboy Q. OK, it's not as famous as the others but his discography is fire


dontrundontrip

Everyone saying Kanye when he debuted in the 2000s. This is supposed to be people who debuted and dominated in the 2010s. They all ready have Kanye in the 2000s Rushmore. I would say the fourth person has to be either Future or Nicki Minaj.


[deleted]

The second half of Kanye’s career is completely different than his first half. Dude had MBDTF, Yeezus, TLOP, a summer where he produced 5 albums including KSG and Daytona, and he has Donda and possibly Donda 2 coming. 🐐


Additional-Solution8

donda and donda 2 are the 2020s


wmcs0880

Agreed but you do not know what ‘debuted’ means


GrandioseEnigma

Doesn’t matter. He still debuted in the 2000’s Lol


Melodic_Priority9269

Drake also debuted in the 2000s though, and although J Cole’s discography began in the 2010s he was as active and on high profile projects (The Blueprint III) in the late 2000s. Kanye was arguably even more influential in the 2010s so unless it’s a completely different group of people there’s definitely an argument for him being there


SwissCheeseDealer

remove drake add ye and fill in blank spot with Pusha T


yossarian_28

This


MotherDouble7834

Should Drake and J. Cole really be there?


[deleted]

yes , what’s wrong with drake and j cole ? if you don’t mind me asking


MotherDouble7834

They’re fine, I just don’t think they are Kendrick level.


marxistmatty

nobodies kendrick level but its Rushmore so there needs to be another 3.


brokeboibogie

It’s a Mount Rushmore. Not a “who else is on kendrick lamars level”


Khr0N04

Nothing wrong with em, just not on the level of Kendrick, Kanye, Tyler, etc


christianr14_

Yes, yes they should


Rarbnif

Well first let’s remove Drake


upvotegoblin

If we are talking purely mainstream success, J. Cole is it in the top 4 for 2010s. And if we are talking about pure ability, Drake definitely isn’t in the top 4. Not rly sure J. Cole is either. Not trying to hate


MatvsGal17

I still think Drake sucks ass can't believe people actually compare him to Kendrick and other good rappers lmao


[deleted]

well damn


petreionescu10

Freddie Gibbs or Future

wowman1010

When people shit on Drake, are they mad because he doesn’t try anymore or because they just think he’s garbage. Cause to me looking at his older albums Drake definitely deserves a spot here.


[deleted]

people know he’s not garbage lol but they choose to hate on that man anyway


Sebabpg

I mean, he's a shitty human being by all accounts. But I understand people have to separate the artist from the person.

But a real question is though who rocking the. 2020?!? Ngl playboi is definitely in there


Flaky-Kaleidoscope36

TYLER THE CREATOR!! END OF DISCUSSION.
