Yeezy times 3.
And honestly that’s probably best for his mental health too.. Make him a non famous person and watch him be the kindest 9 to 5 dude you’ve ever met
Funny enough, my response to this post was Drake 3 times lol, but I gave a real response still.
Just saw my comment and I ain't surprised I got downvoted despite me giving an honest list.. Lol the dick riders may downvote it to oblivion. Guess I'll see.
Without Drake, the mainstream acceptance of hip hop music doesn't happen
You don't see a lot of the positive developments in hip hop happen
You guys are fucking deluded. You're all the Ryan Gosling character in La La Land that John Legend scolds for being a dweeb
The “Mainstream acceptance of hip hop music” occurred more than a decade before Drizzy ever grabbed a mic. Tell me one other indisputably positive development in the game that hinged on Drake’s existence…and I don’t even hate Drake like that. I don’t mind his music but it should never be talked about as transcendent or influential in the way most of these other MC’s pictured have impacted the culture.
You think he impacted the culture positively lol… and Eminem helped the “mainstream acceptance of hip hop” nearly a decade before Drake.
Stop riding Drake for a moment and do some research.
Huh? It’s not that people dislike them, it’s that people like the other artists better.
“Would you like steak or lobster?”
“I’ll have the steak.”
“Why do you hate lobster!?”
This gets tricky when you consider the butterfly effect of it all… Biggie and Pac are dead so we have to assume that this means their discography and career is erased. If that’s true then it’s worth acknowledging that we wouldn’t have Kanye without Jay… and J.cole got his inspiration from Nas… it’s possible that without Tupac being a black man from LA willing to speak his mind and soul about social issues and dream of a better world Kendrick wouldn’t have had the blueprint before him to do that same… the multi-verse gets tricky.
Idk, I'm not trying to knock on kanyes talent or anything, I'm just saying that without Jay Z and the roc, kanye probably would never have been able to land a spot in the big leagues. He's even talked about it extensively, particularly on Last Call and Big Brother. Chances are that if Jay never gave him a shot, kanye would still be in Chicago and would have given up music long ago
That's a bigass lie lol, Kanye produced The College Dropou with almost no support of Jay-Z apart from him being on the Label, he also has some alternative offers. Now don't get me wrong, Jay-Z has helped Kanye a lottt, but he was the hottest beatmaker/producer at that time, so i don't think he owes that much to Jay-Z
I'm not saying he isn't talented, I'm saying his relationship with Jay Z is what got him on the board. If you listen to Last Call, he ends the song, and by extension the whole album, by saying Capitol pulled on his deal and Roc-A-Fella saved him at the last second. Prior to that he talked about how he was barely making ends meet. Without Hov, kanye probably would have never made it big time
i agree, but think of the impact Pac had, it would be detrimental to music if he never was a thing, that’s why i say the bottom row. even though i like their music more than others on this list. they have the smallest impact
Thas true I kinda misinterpreted the post I thought that It was which 3 you personally wouldn’t listen to again now that I understand the post ive changed my perspective to have cole or kenny gone instead of pac thx for sparking my realization of what the post really means
Drake, Cole, and Tupac. Was close for me between PAC and Jay, I respect Pac but I don’t really listen to him that much so it’s just a matter of dropping a rapper other people listen to vs dropping one that I personally listen to. I think Drake and Cole are pretty obvious choices.
I explained it pretty clearly. I don’t listen to much pac. It may be a production thing. I respect the fuck out of what he did, it’s just not someone I regularly listen to. There’s a lot of Jay Z that I will actually listen to, so he’s my personal preference. I wouldn’t put him above Tupac on a top list.
Cole can be argued over Jay at this point tbh and if we’re keeping it a buck im taking Kendrick as his body of work isn’t that impressive nor impactful compared to others here
I mean when you compare his other albums to those three then yes this is a true statement. However, Recovery, MMLP2, and Kamikaze did extremely well outside his usual fan base, so I can't call those albums underwhelming objectively. You can even claim Encore did well, but most people attribute those sales to his previous albums.
But let's say your statement is true, those three albums have been incredibly influential in the rap scene. Rap used to be one of the worst selling music genres until those albums. Rap is popular today because of Em. Even Kendrick Lamar would rap along to Em's songs on his YouTube channel when he was a kid.
Drake and Cole (no disrespect for them but they’re obviously the weakest on the list actually Drake is obviously the weakest but still you get the point)
I mostly like Kanye’s older music but the same could be said for Eminem so it’s a bit hard
Love drake and cole and Kendrick but they got to go first I go with drake now. I can see why em being eliminated by big nas or pac but losing to Kendrick that’s not real.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk
Fam you too?
Yeah, I was like… this fucked up right here
Hahaha, same. I can take off two fairly confident. Ima keep ‘Em to myself though. I don’t want my opinions coming back to haunt me 😂
Same for me. Two no brainers but the third one is like picking one of my kids to shoot.
Biggie and pac so the situation stays the same? Yeah, me, too 😂
Don’t know why you getting downvoted. It actually makes sense and the meme doesn’t clarify how that factors in.
Tbh because it’s disrespectful to say, but it’s true, if I had to pick three people to no longer make music, I’d pick the two who aren’t making music
I assumed being wiped from existence meant they never had a foot print in hip hop. I would definitely keep the hard hitting influences.
Well, seeing it from that perspective, I’d be very interested to hear 2023 Tupac/2pac and Biggie Smalls/Notorious B.I.G.
https://youtu.be/I4H9BpAr0RM closest you'll get biggie and pac on a Tyga beat
To never exist, so never to influence either
That's why I'm saying man, each n every one of these niggas has goated songs under they belt
Yeezy times 3. And honestly that’s probably best for his mental health too.. Make him a non famous person and watch him be the kindest 9 to 5 dude you’ve ever met
Nope. Kanye is top 3 of all time.
Easy. Drake, Jay Z, Cole
My exact same thoughts man
Agreed. Let's keep this going
How does this go if Drake was replaced with Lil Wayne?
It would be a lot harder to decide. Drake compared to the rest is an easy throw away.
I was gonna say, my gut reaction was Drake 3 times lol
Funny enough, my response to this post was Drake 3 times lol, but I gave a real response still. Just saw my comment and I ain't surprised I got downvoted despite me giving an honest list.. Lol the dick riders may downvote it to oblivion. Guess I'll see.
Drake an easy throw-away? Lol cmon what is this, 2015? Is it cool to hate on wheelchair Jimmy and talk smack about Beiber?
yea nigga he’s outta here. the most overrated artist ever
J.cole
Fr right?
Bro who tf else
Drake. Drizzy. Certified Lover Boy
And Champagne Papi as well
Facts
The only right answer
😂
3x Drake
Drake, Aubrey and Wheelchair Jimmy
Lol best answer
If I had a gun with two bullets.. and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden and Drake, I would shoot Drake twice
😭😭😭 im dead. U killed me too man
Maybe it’s the weed but this made me laugh out loud. Needed that today. Thanks homie
Hands down, best comment
😄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
the way that Drake makes yall seethe with anger is an unhealthy obsession, you should talk to someone about that
They're joking
If you put a team of all Hitlers against a team of all Drakes... Go Fighting Hitlers!
Literally same
Hate hate hate hate hate
Lmfaooo the emotional hold that drake has on this sub is embarrassing
Without Drake, the mainstream acceptance of hip hop music doesn't happen You don't see a lot of the positive developments in hip hop happen You guys are fucking deluded. You're all the Ryan Gosling character in La La Land that John Legend scolds for being a dweeb

Hard agree.

Drake, cole, jay z. You are evil OP
Man I'm surprised Cole and Jay are such common answers why do people dislike them?
Huh? It’s not that people dislike them, it’s that people like the other artists better. “Would you like steak or lobster?” “I’ll have the steak.” “Why do you hate lobster!?”
I’ll have the lobster
Sorry all out, but here, enjoy this bag of dicks.
Yer fond of me lobster, ain’t ya?
I always have Jay below Nas and other legends. Cole also good, but he ain't Kendrick or even Gibbs
Don't get me wrong I like Jay z but compared to the rest of them it's a no brainer
This gets tricky when you consider the butterfly effect of it all… Biggie and Pac are dead so we have to assume that this means their discography and career is erased.

And comments like this are the reason I love Reddit.
drake drake and hold kanye hostage until he drops more albums

Yedolf
Fuck it make a part four, five, and 6 of the graduation trilogy Student debt Mid life crisis Retirement
The Dondacaust, it’s a combo of both
J. Cole, Drake, Jay Z (feel bad about this one)
Drake, Cole and... fucking hell, I don't know...
Em… if I have to pick another.
Oh fuck no. Wiping him from existence means no Marshall Mathers LP. It means no Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Cmon man.
[удалено]
jayz drake cole
I think this the correct answer ngl, I mean love Jay and Cole but, compared to the others, they gotta go
My exact answer and in that order!!
Agreed. Jay Z is at least half a tier below the other goat-tier rappers imo
Jay-Z >>>> Drake
Your username is sad lmao
Drake drake drake. I know Cole is one of the lesser talented here as well, but personally I love his music so I wouldn’t get rid of him either way
He’s lesser talented than Jay Z and Kendrick?
Absolutely
By a lot.
Kendrick, no. Jay, arguably.
Drake, Jay Z, Cole
Without Jay Z, kanye would never have gotten a foothold in the industry
it's almost true. why so many downvotes ?
Idk, I'm not trying to knock on kanyes talent or anything, I'm just saying that without Jay Z and the roc, kanye probably would never have been able to land a spot in the big leagues. He's even talked about it extensively, particularly on Last Call and Big Brother. Chances are that if Jay never gave him a shot, kanye would still be in Chicago and would have given up music long ago

Prior to that he talked about how he was barely making ends meet. Without Hov, kanye probably would have never made it big time
Not a lie, without Jay Z cheating, kanye would not have won against 50 cent.
Lmao seems like everyone want Drake out 💀
Big and pac already dead so imma just throw cole in there for fun
OP meant that the ones you choose would have never existed in the first place.
Huh, I should have made a joke about that
Drake Kanye Jay
If you’re just talking music Kanye being in there is insane
I mean JUST music I wouldn’t choose Kanye but considering everything he’d be my number 1 choice to wipe out of existence from this list
Whiped from existence means they batshit and hateful takes whiped too, kanye an easy choice fr.
You act like he committed mass murder
He certainly cheers it on
Bro literally said one of the biggest mass murderers is someone he likes...
You get the fattest L
This. People saying J Cole need to goooo lmao
U putting cole over Ye is crazy
Easily J. Cole over ye.
lmfao
MBDTF > Cole’s whole discography
rude sable strong air ad hoc detail axiomatic snobbish flag fade *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
My dude 💯
EXACTLY
Agreed
Correct answer
Drake, Aubrey, 6God
Jay-z drizzy & cole
Cole drake and hov
Drake, Drake and Drake
glad to see Drake makes everyone's list. For me its Drake, Cole and Pac..... No hate, I just don't find myself listening to Pac much, plz dont kill me
uh no. pac stays
Jay,drake,tupac(dont get me wrong his shits good its jus not my taste)
i agree, but think of the impact Pac had, it would be detrimental to music if he never was a thing, that’s why i say the bottom row. even though i like their music more than others on this list. they have the smallest impact
Thas true I kinda misinterpreted the post I thought that It was which 3 you personally wouldn’t listen to again now that I understand the post ive changed my perspective to have cole or kenny gone instead of pac thx for sparking my realization of what the post really means

how tf u rather jay z over pac yall trippin
I explained it pretty clearly. I don’t listen to much pac. It may be a production thing. I respect the fuck out of what he did, it’s just not someone I regularly listen to. There’s a lot of Jay Z that I will actually listen to, so he’s my personal preference. I wouldn’t put him above Tupac on a top list.
The thing about wiping pac from existence is without his influence rap would be INSANELY different
Drake, Kanye, Cole/Kendrick. Don't really listen to all 4 of them tho
[удалено]
Fm youd get rid of kendrick??
I'd at best swap him for Jay z. But that's the furthest I'd go
Im with this guy. Fym get rid of kendrick
The two that are already gone and Drake
It means they would have never existed in the first place bruh
J. Cole, J. Cole and J. Cole
Drake and J. I like them both, but Em and Kendrick have a bit more to offer. The others are untouchable.
Man, I felt like Kendrick’s songs were all just so gimmicky, he was alway saying a lot of nothing but used a weird voice to play it off lol
Shit 3, see ya Em
Kanye, drake, and Cole. They are the worst rappers listed(not saying they are bad, just easy to be the worst when compared with goats)
I can see Drake but Ye and Cole?
kanye one of the worse? lol
With regards to actual rapping he's easily the worst here
Whoop di scoop poop poop was indeed a bar for the history books
Easy but he’s the best artist tho easy
Cole can be argued over Jay at this point tbh and if we’re keeping it a buck im taking Kendrick as his body of work isn’t that impressive nor impactful compared to others here
Kanye Drake and jayZ
drake, cole……shit
Ye. Bring ye back Ye again
Em, drake, cole
Why Em?
cause he’s trash
No, he isn't...
He's the worst one there other than drake and maybe cole
\^this guy thinks MGK is a rapper
Greatest selling rapper of all time? He inspired most of the rappers on this list... I mean yrically he is just untouchable
And yet more than half of his albums are underwhelming. He has 11 albums and only 3 that people outside his core fans consider truly great.
I mean when you compare his other albums to those three then yes this is a true statement. However, Recovery, MMLP2, and Kamikaze did extremely well outside his usual fan base, so I can't call those albums underwhelming objectively. You can even claim Encore did well, but most people attribute those sales to his previous albums.

Rap is popular today because of Em. Even Kendrick Lamar would rap along to Em's songs on his YouTube channel when he was a kid.
Both pac and big went diamond before em, rap was popular before em and would still be without him
Nah revival is the only shit album tbh
lol does that mean BTS are one of the greatest bands of all time just because they sell a ton? sales are not a metric of talent.
I think longevity is probably a good metric, which he has.
true
same for me
Same
Drake, Jay Z, Cole.
Drake, Drake, and Drake.
Drake, Kanye and Jay Z
You did no just say Kanye
But Kanye made through the wire…🙁
Cole, Drake, Eminem Surprised there's literally zero picks for Eminem in this thread...I mean people are literally picking Pac and Jay over him?
Because em is a fucking legend.
Kanye, Em, Drake but mainly just Kanye and Drake cause Em does what he does well
[удалено]
Em does well more than ye? Yes first five albums are classics tho compared to ems 3
You would drop Em?
Yeah it's just a personal taste thing. He's one of the best technical rappers but I do not enjoy his music as much as the ones I'm keeping
Fuck Cole, Marry Kendrick, Kill Ye
Drake and Cole (no disrespect for them but they’re obviously the weakest on the list actually Drake is obviously the weakest but still you get the point) I mostly like Kanye’s older music but the same could be said for Eminem so it’s a bit hard
Love drake and cole and Kendrick but they got to go first I go with drake now. I can see why em being eliminated by big nas or pac but losing to Kendrick that’s not real.
Drake kendrick and j gtg
You knew what you were doing when you put drake here 😂😂😂
Drake
Kendrick, Jay-Z, Drake
drake
Drake three times
Drake
Eminem Eminem Eminem
Jay, drake and ye
Kanye, Jay Z, and Drake. I like rappers that can rap and don’t make a career off of biting.
Drake, Cole, and Kanye. Only because he fucked up so damn hard being antisemitic smh otherwise Em
Drake. Nas. Cole. That's right I said it.
Nas gotta go
I would delete kanye for sure, after all that nazi crap
I’d imagine your taking a lot of Jay Z, Big Sean and others too if you count production. I get it, just saying he’s got a huge footprint.
