GodzillaMinusOneGotta also remember #1 records for rappers were extremely rare until streaming. Some of the greatest, most popular rap songs ever didnt even go top 5. I can't imagine how many #1s prime Nelly, Em and 50 would have if they had the streaming formula lol
00s Kanye and Wayne would've also ate.

I got more slaps than the Beatles
Beatles would have 200 #1's if they were playing the same game as Aubrey
SABMAN TURNT 🧔🏻Apr 2·1 replyGodzillaMinusOneIf it's limited to 20 songs it's just Dre, Ye and Pac--maybe even BIG and Jay. Not just the number of hits but the quality of em. Lof of the rappers mentioned itt have a lot of hits but they don't weigh as much as Dre, Ye and Pac hits. But if its 30-40-50+ its just Dre and Ye

in a verzuz? easily
young thug’s best songs aren’t radio bait, so they wouldn’t win most verzuz battles

Off The Grid not bad
Moon is great
Off the Grid went crazy before he put his verse on there lol

it’s time for ktt to start accepting that certain songs are hits despite Kanye’s best efforts to ruin them, rather than because of his contributions
Off The Grid & Carnival both come to mind immediately

Played it last night at Sofi. Crowd sang along

Apr 2·2 repliesI think in today’s generation, Kanye is probably going to come out on top.
Hmmm since people are mentioning Dre, why no mention of Pharrell/The Neptunes. I know he’s kinda annoying now as a personality, but he has enough presence on his own production that his solo catalogue doesn’t matter
Apr 2·2 repliesGodzillaMinusOneLollipop would've been #1 and then replaced by A Milli
Did lollipop not go number one

because Pharrell's hits aren't all carried by his presence on the track, even joints where he's on the hook or the verses, you typically have a really great artist on it separate from P

A milli peaked at #6

It's time to accept Kanye "making a hit" hasn't meant much in 10 years and Carnival is one of the worst songs ever made.

Would it really matter though in a verzuz? He just would play the song and do the hook and he’s a salesman for better or worse.

no, you're right, it doesn't matter in a vz but i guess for discussion purposes

forget the kanye verse, wayne's verses on the remix are way better than his verses on the OG
Apr 2SABMAN TURNTdepends, are we going by full songs or by ye’s actual verses?
even gudda gudda beating ye if we just go bar for bar
when it comes to hits though, there’s honestly a lot of artists who’d beat ye easily

Apr 2·1 replySABMAN TURNTi can name plenty of Wayne songs beating Lollipop too, sad that ye only has 5
Wayne isn’t beating half of graduation and most of the singles from the 2000’s

@RainemSteal
what's the last rap hit to you that really 'hit'?I feel like maybe I'm just getting older & out of touch, but I feel very disconnected from joints that I'm consistently told are #1 songs
the last era a rap '#1 hit record' really felt like a hit was maybe 2021 to me
I'm surprised that joints like Carnival, Sticky by Tyler or First Class by Jack Harlow, or Super Freaky Girl, or even Rich Flex went #1. I'll give NLU and Luther the pass, those songs feel like big moments and really great songs that were played outside and you'd hear them often, but most others it's like, man wtf?
even Jimmy Cooks, which I like, didn't FEEL like a hit at the time. just a standout from that album, but compared to real hit records like Candy Shop, Gold Digger, Ms. Jackson, Hot In Herre, the recent rap hits aren't really giving much to grab onto.
the crazier part is there's a song like GloRilla's "F.N.F' that only peaked at #42 but made a huge splash for a LONG time but the charts don't really reflect that impact.
might be a tired topic on here but I think it's worth thinking about
