Em's popularity these days > Wayne's these days

Every time Em has a new song, people freak out. Wayne's not surprising people anymore


That's funny cause it's truth, even so far away from his peak, Em stills bangs Wayne :worship:

Because of the title of this topic...and the word "RAPPERS" In it, I need to give my vote to Kanye West.
His beats are one of the best of all time, no doubt...but 10.0/10.0 from pitchfork for a bullshit lyrics album. Come onnnnnn brotherrrr, we all heard it... THAT'S WHAT I CALL OVERRATED. Drake is close but he CAN write some pretty tight verses.
Only G.O.O.D. lyrics song... Gorgeous

Kanye tells his amazing story on MBDTF the best way possible and doesn't have to be all lyrical to do so.

I think you should have replaced 50 Cent with Lupe Fiasco. I like Lupe but people treat him like the Second Coming or something.

To be honest Wiz is getting really over rated these past few months, I think he's dope but he starting to look like a Drake lol

Yeah you are right, either Lupe or Wiz could have taken 50's spot in the poll. I guess 50 Cent isn't even relevant enough anymore to be considered overrated lol.

Personally i voted Drake, just because he has really done nothing that left any kind of impact on me , and he is looking up to the worst rapper in the game (lil wayne). Best Drake imo song isn't even rap (Find Your Love)
ahead of my time, in my prime, one of a kind, out of my mind

I voted Wayne, but Drake was a close second for me. I don't see why so many people hate Kanye West. He's an incredible rapper. His feature on Blazin': :worship: . Loved it.

Maybe in some ,but in most Europe i can tell ya many people have no ideea who Weezy is.Or maybe they do cause of Push it with Enrique lol.
Anyway hard to choose between Kanye and Weezy,but i went for Kanye,good beats doesnt make u a good rapper. :coffee:
