What 10 artists are running mainstream rap right now?

This has NOTHING to do with how much you like an artist. Example: I love Andre 3k, but he's no powerhouse right now (popularity/material output wise).

My list is:

Eminem
Wayne
Drake
Nicki Minaj
Kanye
Jay Z
Wiz Khalifa
B.o.B.
T.I.
J Cole (soon)

Wiz Khalifa?

I shoulda put the (soon) disclaimer. To me, he stands out over all the similar (fanbase) upcoming dudes.

I agree w/ this list except for Khalifa & Cole.
Edit: lol just realized you put (soon) for them so nvm.

I guess you're right, I've heard so many people talk about him in my school.

But, i think you could put Lloyd Banks somewhere in there.

Nah I mean, he has a big album but he's really not a big player in rap right now. Like, Nelly's got a new big album but he is far from making the list.

i would replace J Cole with Rick Ross...he's been getting a lot of undeserved love, but love nonetheless lol

yeah, rick ross

Well, not saying they are the best but they are the most popular (no order):

Eminem
Drake
T.I.
Kanye West
Rick Ross
B.o.B
Jay-Z
Lil Wayne
Nas

It is actually looking quite good when you consider how popular it is to say that hip hop is dead. It is only a couple of those above that I think are crap. J. Cole needs to release an actual album before he can make my list.

Wiz Kalifa aint mainstream yet.....

Internationally, i'd say (in no particular order) using number of fans and how much they are into the particular artists and not just sales...

Eminem
Jay Z
Lil Wayne
Kanye
Drake
Rick Ross
Ludacris
Snoop Dogg
T.I
Kid Cudi.

Nicki Minaj has pathetic music and i honestly think she has no fanbase- people who can get to a Stan level like the other artists up there.
