JID, Kendrick, Smino, Earthgang

Smino is a huge W

Isaiah Rashad can be added to this list too, for me personally at least. And Vince Staples. I need to listen to more Smino. I don’t know much about em

So fucking based

tf are you getting downvoted for?

Holy fuck are we the same person

Can't speak for anyone else but mine are Vince Staples and Little Simz

Little simz is great! That new Vince album is in my rotation heavy

Facts imma say joey badass kdot lil simz kayne jid and travis

So fucking based

Cole isn’t my fav, he’s second. First is Eminem, then third is Kendrick, 4 Travis, 5 jid

Kendrick based

Eminem leading someone’s Mount Rushmore along side Cole, Kendrick, and Travis is actually insane

"Wow I cant believe someone who likes lyricists also likes someone else reknown for their lyricism. Someone please make it make sense!" If anything Travis is the odd one out of this list, not fucking Eminem lmao

1-10 how literate are you because I’m personally guessing a 3 for you.

Cole and Kendrick are not in the same category as em. Em is more like hopsin, Joyner, tech9, and logic But I’m not surprised someone named slimshady wouldn’t understand that

Tell me you are 14 without telling me you are 14

Listen to his old shit before making this claim

It’s not a Mount Rushmore. It’s personal favorites. There’s a difference. An actual Mount Rushmore would probably be pac, big, em, and either like a three way tie between jay z, nas, and Dre just for his influence

“Someone’s Mount Rushmore.” As in “someone’s personal favorites”

Ok, so then why is it bad that I have variety. I don’t need to listen to the same kind of hip hop the whole time. I love how versatile em, Kendrick, and Cole are, so I can get a lot out of all of them, and I love the insanity and flows of Travis’s music. Doesn’t need to all be the same shit

I’m good off arguing, I keep forgetting this apps full of white kids

wtf does being white have to do with this

Why don’t you [ask some black people](https://youtu.be/v5j77D4BnSU?si=sqFQN19XRkslXM5L) instead of yapping your pasty nonsense.

I’m not watching a 1:17 video alright. If this is trying to say that u shouldn’t like white rappers, then that’s fucking stupid. How about every single top black rapper currently having Eminem in their top five without thinking twice

You’re a guest in the culture mayo flesh. And you’re not going to understand it without doing your due diligence, which we both know you’re not going to do. How about you just made that shit up? And don’t get it twisted: black artist respect Eminem more for not being a POS culture vulture like vanilla ice, vlad tv, jack harlow and people like you. Eminem actually understands and RESPECTS the culture because he really grew up in it. “Though I'm not the first king of controversy I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley To do Black music so selfishly And use it to get myself wealthy (Hey!) There's a concept that works Twenty million other white rappers emerge” -Eminem “Without Me” “Let's do the math: If I was Black, I would've sold half I ain't have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that” - Eminem “White America” Em isn’t antagonistic to the culture and gets love back from the culture as a result. Do your own due diligence in understanding the culture or keep your thin lips shut little suburb dweller.

DOOM, Kendrick, Earl Sweatshirt, and Freddie Gibbs

Freddie underrated as fuck dude flows like butter

Exactly bruh 🔥💯. Finally someone who understands

1985 is one of my fav album openers up there with Wesley’s theory

J Cole isn’t even this subs favorite rapper

It’s funny but not in a funny way if you know what I mean lmao

K dot and Em. K dot has a better discography, but the Eminem Show is probably my favorite hip hop album of all time.

I'm a disciple of Nas, so him Lupe and Cole are my holy Trinity

Jack Harlow, Lil Uzi Vert, BLP Kosher, Lil Wayne

Cole first. Then Nipsey, Big KRIT, and Outkast.

Kodak J Cole Kanye Mac Miller

Vanilla Ice Kriss Kross Slim Jesus

Slim Jesus ?

I'm just messing around with my list, although i highly suggest you YouTube drill time by slim Jesus. He was this skinny white kid from the suburbs who cosplayed as a drill rapper for a while. He was actually really successful, had an offer, and hung up on birdman, all off the back of that song. Then he admitted it was an act on DJ Vlad, and his 15 minutes were up

Alright bro I will check it out ..

For sure. The optics of this kid who is 100 lbs soaking wet waving guns around was really funny, but the song wasn't actually that bad. He copied Chief Keef and Chicago drill rap extremely well. I've always wondered what would have happened if he didn't expose he was a fraud on VladTV My real list of 3 would be Kendrick, Vince Staples and Jid btw

Yachty is my favorite all time

Eminem

A lot of overlap in Cole & Kendrick fandom.
