“Just give it time we’l see whose still here a decade from now” Drake

Drake, Nicki Minaj, Future, Kendrick and J Cole are the only ones still popping on the charts since the 2010s

Migos really impressed me staying relevant from 2013 till now

We really do rappers a disservice when we say their not relevant anymore. Pop, rock and country fans don’t do that to their artists. But let a rapper not put something out for 6 months and all of a sudden they’re, “old”. It’s so dumb lol

A rapper's shelf life is a good 2 years. If you make 5 you did great. If you make 10+ you're a legit big time talented artist

Future 10 years later going Platinum . And songs in rotation on Radio .

Tyler + Earl still shmovin

T-Pain still got more Grammy noms in like a two year span, than most have in a 5 year

He left out Chief Keef nobody was hotter than Keef in 2012 the birth of drill music.

They made their money and got into things that interest them more than music. I salute that.

throwing Donald Glover in there as if he isn’t one of the most talented entertainers and creative minds to walk this earth 💀

Musically: Drake, Nicki, Cole, Kendrick, and future are really the only ones regardless of features or not. The only ones during that time frame that carried over and still will care over.

Rap isnt a career, its an opportunity. Those the men that took the other opportunities

J Cole and Drake survive the test of time

It makes you not want to keep up anymore, part of the fun is watching your favorite rappers elevate

One of my favorite drake lines ever. Rent free.

Drake ran a whole decade. His run is crazy.

The mixtape era let us know who would survive fr

King kendrick did it with no ghostwriters

Curren$y still putting out 🔥 after all years✈️✈️✈️🤙🏾 my nigga Spitta

doesn’t matter. an artist that is “poppin” usually has a shelf life. rappers like Rocky, Tyler, Cole, Kendrick, Drake, etc. are still around because they have their own style and evolved over time. Music moves fast and you only have eyes on you for a small chunk of time. The biggest stars separate themselves from the rat race early and focus on their own art.

Future hands down been poppin still poppin.

Meek still out here rapping !!!!!

woahhh i still bump meek 😭

This is why Wayne stands the test of time. Nigga been going for 3 1/2 decades

Its called generation. Ppl who grew up listening to them are in their mid 20's to early 30'sand have moved on in life. Its not like we're out here bumping these new weirdo kids either.

The Queen Nicki Minaj has withstood the true test of time. She is a legend breaking records 10+ years into her career.

Meek still here 😭

To his credit, Wale is supremely talented and highly underrated.

Listen to all them names.... now look at the poundtown talentless foolishness we got today

Wiz was on that list.. so underrated

Let's not mention the many rappers who have had their lives cut short in recent years.

Future has been going crazy since 2012 he never will fall off

I’m surprised to see that people aren’t even mentioning Tyler. The guy exploded onto the scene around this time and continues to refine his work and explore new sounds

This doesn’t mean what he think it means necessarily. Most of those dudes he named either: 1. Started a family with women they actually care about or spent more time with their families. (Wale, Big Sean, Chance the Rapper, A$AP, 2 Chainz) 2. Got to a point where they could capitalize off their rap success and brand and delve into businesses that are more guaranteed than rap money. 3. They were doing both at the same time. Everything isn’t a fall off, opportunities arise to make life easier and easier, constantly diversifying your trap portfolio which allows you to focus on what really matters, family. The other dope artists that remained hot since that time that may have hit records and award don’t have the reward those guys do.

ASAP Rocky is doing his thing

They understand now that this rap money ain't it. Let's flip this money another way.

Nas dropped an arguable classic with Life is Good..!

Ross and Meek literally just dropped a banger.

Sauce Walka might not be mainstream but he is absolutely underrated and dropping hit after hit.

Imagine how annoyed Joe would have gotten if he said “you see Logic tho” 💀😂

Donald Glover had "Atlanta" for like 5 seasons and was in other movies. Google him. Rapper is way at the bottom of what he is

Joe was just trying to argue

E40 still doing it after all this time...

Them Ricos been taking over the industry too

JCOLE is the best in the game from the new era. He came out in 2009. And he spits better than anyone mentioned.

They actually still doing music. Mostly features on the new generations projects.

I don't know exactly but I feel J Cole was also fresh in the game at that point

It's good to see rappers grow up and evolve.

That meek and Ross just dropped 🔥🔥🔥2023

Man said chance like he ain’t drop the coloring book in 2016🤣

If any of them drop an album it’ll do numbers

2014-2015 was definitely the turning point of rap/hip-hop

I guess everybody forgot about Weezy. He could go on a 20-yr. hiatus, come back and STILL be the hottest rapper in the business.

bro nobody stays that big that long

Ross still making classics idc what nobody talking about. My dawg music is timeless

We live in a microwave generation. Instant gratification without a second thought. There are still artists who have honed their craft for the last 20 years, putting out DOPE HIP HOP MUSIC🙏🏿

Nas still making classics..... Timeless🤫

Only old school rappers still popping

Them ninjas got millions in the ceiling

It really don't matter if you see them or not. Once a song from one of them get played you get hyped, especially if it's a hot one

Nas killing it right now

Y’all are fried 😭

You see Cole, Kendrick, and Drake

Nigga really said "Big Sean" 😂😂😂😂😂

Respect for saying Wale bro is a straight poet💯

Meek still in it dude tripping

Sean dropped detroit 2 and did 111k first week thats more than gunna and thug dropped this year and theyre 2 of the biggest names in rap. Sean is so slept on

Alexa play Drake Tuscan leather 🤧

Drake still running it

He ain't lying

This why people hate on Drake but he’s been DOMINATING hip hop since 08

YOU DONT SEE MEEK?!?! That was craaaazy

DRAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Please don't even bring up the 2012 XXL Freshmen Class to him.

Future , Nas , French, Wayne, Cole, I think even Jeezy dropped just two years ago

The answer is Drake 😂

2 Chainz was not the hill to die on. He is pushing 50 at this point. I swear they don’t know how to debate with Joe for some reason.

Big Sean’s Detroit 2 album was cold af.

Drake Drake Drake Drake a flame that will never burn out.

Wowww what a good observation im about to play 2k24 and look for Chauncey Billups , Chris Bosh , Paul Pierce and Zach Randolph.😂😂

Juicy j still going hard since the MF 90’s.

Mans crazy. Asap still on it

He’s not lying.

It’s only cole and kdot that’s around musically

ASAP ROCKY will never be broke, he got riri.

Chief keef ran 2012 and is still runnin shit

Blastmaster still here from 86, still dropping

So clearly it's Drake, Kendrick and J Cole... No particular order.... just saying musically.

Future gotta be on there

You’d be seeing Mac muhfuckin Miller if he was still here and y’all know that shit is true and the music would be the truth it self

Pound cake intro hittin a lil different

I listen to all they old ish classics are timeless. Everyone he named has a few straight bangers that you can drop rn. I just respect and appreciate shit stay up

they realized there is more money out there besides rapping

Kendrick named all of them in control. Tyler the Creator the only one who didn’t fall off

Wouldve said thug buuut....

The G.O.A.T pops his head contantly and still the best EM

Childish Gambino can enter and leave rap whenever he wants. His music is timeless.

In meek defense he was in an outta jail and it’s been documented that whatever awful deal he signed got him shelved rite now

Wiz Khalifa
