Who Has Had the Best Runs in Rap History? | Everyday Struggle

[@jreel]

50 without question. Worldwide success, business ventures in virtually every aspect (games, movies, rap, boxing, etc), record breaking single and mixtapes, etc. 50 was unstoppable and as Joe said, dude literally beefed with every major NY artist from Murder Inc, to Nas, Terror Squad, etc. He survived all of that and his pockets were never impacted.

[@djb9229]

Nigga I do have to give it to 50 cause literally EVERYONE on G-Unit went platinum Buck, Game, Yayo and Banks. The nigga had Reebok, Vitamin Water, G-Unit clothes, and his own video game that competed with GTA: San Andreas and you could argue that it did better. How many niggas you know had a video game bruh. 50 is the GOAT

[@christian6455]

LaDaryl Barker II a Video game and a Movie. only Em did that. Biggie Waited Years to do a movie Tupac had Talent so he did plenty of Movie

[@ragii1428]

50 had the greatest run of all time. My cousins in Sri Lanka knew about the guy. All G-Unit albums between 2004-2006 went platinum and he even made Tony Yayo sell 240k first week. TONY YAYO. Everyone in 2005 wanted to talk, walk and dress like him. Snoop or Wayne are 2nd but 50 easily had the best run in Hip Hop history.

[@Abouunds]

50 was UNTOUCHABLE for years. No one else in the game can kill artists like 50 did. Dude took over the whole of New York and the country.

50 musically and business wise. Nigga had two diamond albums which were classics, was the mixtape king with classics there. Power of the dollar is hella underrated. Maybe the biggest hip hop single of all time in da club. Many number one singles. Viatamin water, video games, best selling book, movies... oh and fucking g unit lmao he made all his niggas go platnuim and number 1. Also beg for mercy was a classic.

[@austin5236]

I'm goin Wayne and Ye for the scope and depth of influence. Aesthetically, we're living in a post Wayne landscape - dreads, tattoos (especially face tats) and lean were around, but he took that shit to the mainstream. Kanye brought alternative/pop sensibilities to rap in a way that was unprecedented. 50 was huge, and his ventures were diverse, but rap today looks and sounds like Wayne and Kanye.

[@lifestraight]

austin5236 Good points. Rhymestyles tho it sounds like neither.

[@koldraiynedownskayle5744]

Kanye made it acceptable to not be a street/gangsta rapper. Kanye didn't have the best run, but probably had an impact only surpassed by Pac and Em. What was acceptable in rap changed. Combined with the Internet/SoundCloud era of rap, pioneered by Soulja Boy of all people (in terms of marketing/promotion), Kanye is responsible for the current sound of rap.

[@KevsUploads]

Koldraiyne impact on actual rap music and style he has more of and impact than Tupac and Eminem. They might be more respected in the craft and history but Kanye literally changed the face of rap.

[@Persadish]

Joe.... might be right. 50 had an INSANE run from 02'-06'. The single, the album, the introduction of G-Unit, the clothing line, the duo with Game, the duo turned rival with Game, the beef AND the win over Ja Rule, starring in movies, video games, music videos, another hit album.... who else did ALL of that within a 4 year span?

50's run was amazing, last of his kind to be honest and had a truly unique run. Jay has had the longest sustainability. Kanye is always relevant(though his antics give him more buzz than his music). Kendrick might be on an all-time run. I don't think many rappers have started with that kind of momentum. He literally hasn't made a misstep. Cole even if his last album was boring is going on a Nas-type run. Chance is on a run. He might be on the most interesting run because he is so cross-cultural in a natural way. Went to his concert in ATL and it was the most diverse concert I'd ever been to. He's truly special. Drake is such a pop artist that he is facing the problems that they face too along the lines of if he doesn't watch himself he'll spread his sound and content to thin to where people will lose the feeling they felt when they first heard him. All that to say that he along with 50 are having amazingly unique runs. His because he is so calculating and doesn't move like a rapper. He moves like a pop star, from having other people write for him(even though he writes too) to the diverse styles of music he puts out.

[@joshstoner8014]

KollizionLive its crazy how people forget that to....also he influenced 90 percent of rappers today but yeah wayne was on a whole other level....I miss them years especially 2007 2008

[@KevsUploads]

He was great even before that 2 platinum album before that.. also like 3 mixtape

[@barbarapaparella2282]

Yup after eminem, 50, n jayz , wayne took over from 05-09

[@diggylatrelle]

Who Asked kanye is my 2nd favorite artist behind michael jackson. kanye is not as good as a rapper/wordsmith/lyricist as lil wayne especially in this 2004-2009 run. kanye is the better artist by far. wayne is the better rapper by far.

[@johnsonmark65]

@@diggylatrelle 50 was still the top dog until like 2007, wayne took really over in 2008.

[@clutchcakes3946]

Lil Wayne had the biggest. Wayne first went plat in I believe it was 98 then got really major in 03. 03 to 11 Wayne ran hip hop and nobody could touch him. Project after project. 1 or 2 mixtapes a year and then like every 2 years drop an album. He didn’t have a single bad project in that time except for that rock album. Not to mention he influenced a generation of rapper due to how he changed the game.

[@MrAiroDynamic]

Clutch Cakes lmao wayne didnt do shit... 2008-2011 was wayne

[@edgespear6196]

Tunined lmfao u clearly don’t know what ur talking about, He some of his best music between 2008-2011 like the carter 3, carter 4, no ceilings, SFTW

[@edgespear6196]

Tunined he also signed drake and nicki minaj in 09 so dunno wys

[@nazzitwazzi633]

[@xgoosey]

You probs 12 and under if you not picking 50cent, Everyone around the world knew G - Unit!

[@deonnelson9780]

Tony Naw

[@trentinator17]

Deon Nelson Just looked through your liked videos. You proved his point.

[@deonnelson9780]

Based off the videos I liked doesn't mean anything. Plus I'm 18

[@xgoosey]

Deon Nelson Mandela and im 19, common man honestly if you 18 then you should know 50 ran the world at one point, no debate

[@trentinator17]

Deon Nelson Here's what your liked videos prove: You probably think Kendrick and J. Cole are the dynamic duo like hip hop has never seen before. I mean, "How to Rhyme like J. Cole"? Come on. He isn't that good. I even saw something about XXXFag-taci-yellintothemic-on on there. You're a trend rider. Since you didn't see 50's reign it isn't in your nature to admit it was the best. Point blank, no further discussion needed. Edit: If it didn't prove anything, then why did you just suddenly hide it? And stop liking your own Damn comments, it's embarrassing.

[@jlaw6036]

Joe is right in the club still bangs now..

[@bigblrrrd8165]

50 cent blew up in 99 with how to rob and was on top until 07 also dominated everyone before and in his era

[@MarkanVaran7]

he blew up in 2002

[@christian6455]

ArnoldFTW97 definitely 2002 but his peak was in 2005

[@TTSantiago821]

Just a question....is jarule not on the list because his run was strictly music only?

[@shaquillegarvey7612]

I'd say before that power of the dollar came out and got him through the door before how to rob

[@richyung4502]

He blew up when he sign to shady aftermath in 02

[@Columbiadwk]

Man going back to this show. This was a good time in hip hop

[@rfogo14]

No one seems to acknowledge how lil wayne's mixtape run revolutionized the entire game and how rap fans consume music. By the mid 2000's mixtapes were out of fashion but wayne was repeatedly keeping them relevant by posting them for free ONLINE. He's the reason that dat piff and sites like that became what they are. He's the reason why rappers today release "projects" and "commercial mixtapes" online that sound like albums. He made the mixtape into a legitimate medium for quality music and not just a collection of b-sides or throwaways. Changed the game forever

[@Ace_etereo]

rfogo14 50 cent and dipset mix tapes gave Wayne that lane. But Wayne definitely revolutionized online mix tapes

[@feliperctta]

50 no question, the mixtapes, the albums, g-unit mixtapes, he could do no wrong.

[@M360-w6o]

phillip rose Vitamin Water too

[@LaPride247]

Marvin Amankwa-Dei video games too, shoes too, nigga had everything

[@dosecacius6704]

If we're talking straight MUSIC the Lil Wayne of course, his run from 2004-2012 unstoppable mixtapes, albums and singles he had it all. But 50 cent's run is top tier also his run branches out (business wise) and still isn't finished. Even CHIEF KEEF had a short run 2011-2014. Obviously we have to mention Em, Kanye, Jigga but you knew that.

[@King-xi5rq]

50 Cent got the best run! Facts

[@SplashSquad553Ty]

King 💯💯💯

[@aarontakan9721]

e

[@philmalavarca9489]

50 Cent by far had the best run in Hip-Hop history. Like Joe said, he had beef with everyone in New York. The people he had beef with tried to kill 50 and they didn't. He shouldn't have survived that, but he did. And thank God he did survive it. 50 Cent was unstoppable at that time. No one comes close to 50 Cent's run in Hip-Hop.

[@jasbb2]

I can't believe eminem isn't mentioned more on these comments. He's sold the most records out of Any artist the past decade and yes he IS hip hop. End of discussion

[@rickywilson6878]

Black ppl don't hop in the car and say play that em

[@stevenbarnes3550]

Ricky Wilson that’s a fact, I wasn’t bumping Em and people in my hood wasn’t bumping his shit either. Em is super nice, but his content, to me, isn’t relatable.

[@LGBrandonWalsh]

And he gets paid off 50, who was their pick

[@icem744]

Joe is statin straight facts !! 50 had the best run in the history of hip hop ! Plus ALL of his artists went platinum at one point !! And he a huge influence on most artist today !!! AND He had a movie out AND signature video game AND top clothing .

[@ayuhtheyoungold-head237]

In my personal opinion, nothing will EVER touch Ice Cube's run from '88 to '93. He was (and still is) untouchable. Living legend.

[@eliminator173]

50 hands down no debate.

[@kb4231]

03 to 05 was a monster

[@brandnewday2750]

I think 50 Cent’s was the most impactful and his career and name are still global today despite no album for like 15 years

[@host7368]

Eminem is so big, his run started back in 1999 and still runing. Even tho' his last studio album was in 2013 milions of fans are hungry for new album

[@MrJwyne]

Joe being speaking facts. He makes a good argument. #JoeBuddenforPresident 😄

[@conormcgregor8451]

MrJwyne Ak be getting bodied in these.

[@DankBudwoi]

MrJwyne I think akademiks deep down has the same views as joe most of the time but has to make an argument or else it wouldn't be a very good show.

[@beeasy6170]

Ak don't know shit.

[@ManimeLive]

MrJwyne I agree with 50 Cent and Lil Wayne but what about Busta Rhymes

[@blowthewhistle3352]

Yeah joe. nailed it, prior to 50 deal to get on then surpass a lot of hit artists, then reinventing mix-tapes like Albums then venture off writing movies ect deals and hes still currently relevant.. beyond music, crazy!!

[@michielblok2122]

Joe Budden is an intelligent dude. You can tell by the way he chooses his words. Same goes with Akademiks.

[@chrishillhill6173]

Wayne made u listen to that gudda Kidd Kidd twist ect... Ask yourself if Wayne wasn't on wit em would u care about them niggas. 🤔

[@dee_3562]

I actually liked gudda gudda in Kidd kidd but lil twist and Mac main was trash asf.

[@eddiebitar8421]

Wayne, Kanye has incredible runs. Kanye had amazing content on every album. Jayz has a career long run. But 50 was the man, he had everyone wearing G-Unit attire

[@kevo6463]

07-11 Kanye was crazy. Kanye started with ending 50s run with graduation. then dropped 808s and made a new sound (we didn’t know what it would be) however people hated it, then the whole Taylor Swift thing happened and Kanye became the joke of the industry. after being beat down by everyone he went to Hawaii and dropped arguably not only one of the best rap albums of all time but one of the best albums In general.

[@chriscarter4563]

In da club was 3:15 seconds Joe.

[@johnnybaddsee]

"When do we cap someone's run?" Answer "When it's over." Lol

[@YVNGHov]

Nobody Mentions DMX he had the Game on Lock 98 to 2003 Released his Freshman,Sophomore and Junior album with in a year Has 3 classics albums

[@floydjones1219]

Exactly

[@VinceBond-ky2zt]

Jayz was greater than X from 98 to 2003 From album sales to lyrical content to classic albums to accolades

[@mJboo32]

8:45 joe says if we taking just the music, he would choose wayne. Wayne was hip hop during his run. Mixtapes, leaked songs, albums, and features. Literally his mixtape flow was so fire at that time it made every other rapper seem basic. *Da drought - da drought 2- 🔥DA DROUGHT 3🔥 * The prefix- 🔥THE SUFFIX🔥 * 🔥DEDICATION- DEDICATION 2🔥- dedication 3- d4-d5 Squad up 1-7 * 🔥SQ1-SQ2-SQ3-SQ4-SQ5- SQ6-SQ7🔥 * 🔥I can't feel my face-Blow- my face can't be felt- Face off *The carter files🔥- the w carter collection 🔥- w carter collection 2🔥 * carter 2 mixtape🔥 carter 3 mixtape🔥 * THE drought is over 1-6 The drought is over- drought over 2-drought over 3- drought over 4-drought over 5-drought over 6 all 🔥🔥🔥🔥 *🔥NO CEILINGS🔥- no ceilings 2 *Young money the mixtape *🔥SORRY 4 the wait-sorry for wait 2 *🔥lil weezy Ana🔥 *🔥louisianimal 1-3 *🔥the leak 1-6🔥 🔥Carter 1 🔥carter 2 🔥carter 3 carter 4 And there's a bunch more. But honestly who else has a mixtape list comparable?

[@mJboo32]

Don't get me wrong 50 tapes are 🔥too . It's just wayne was running laps around the game. IMO

[@KevsUploads]

Wayne hands down!!

[@sugs1191]

Joe budden even beefed with 50 cent/G unit at the time. Lol. I remember him releasing big shot diss track. So for Joe to admit it is very respectful on his part

[@NallePu83]

Dr Dre 840 million $ Diddy 820 million $ Jay-Z 810 million $

[@thomasnelson5758]

2 years later Hov and Kanye are first hip hop billionaires. Honestly thought Diddy would beat them to it first

[@trentinator17]

EASILY 50. If the guy had no other talents, he'd get by on his ability to always make his way into some sort of business venture. Who didn't know 50 in the mid 00s? Gotta include Wayne, Jay, like it or not Drake, Kanye. I'm honestly shocked Em hasn't been talked about more in the comments. 7 number one albums in a row that outsell every hip hop album since his previous album (excluding GRODT).

[@devinhaxton1071]

Because hip hop can be raciest too🤷‍♂️

[@Oldheadontheblock]

50 cent had his own video game... of course he had the best run this is not even for debate. Wayne was big too but didn't have the same impact as 50.

[@allstarwook]

Was def. 50. The Trinity in the first Gunit tapes, Guess Who's Back, the albums, Gunit solo tapes,Beg for Mercy, putting Game on the map, radio played their remixes(to this day)on the radio like they were the original

[@NovlMusic2021]

50 without a doubt. I was in Grade 3 South Africa around 2004 and Hip Hop wasn't that big this side but we all knew who the hell 50 was !!

[@richyung4502]

Lil weezy. His run set up other people runs.

[@FrancoisDressler]

The biggest one being Drake.

[@DLMitchell]

I can't believe Eminem was just a side note in this conversation. Relapse missed the mark but he came back strong doing 700k in a week with his 6th & 7th album. And at the peak of his career he did something that only one other artist in music history has done. Prince is the only other artist to have the #1 movie, album & song in the same week. If that's not the best run in rap history what is?

[@zacharygarza1847]

Wayne !!! No question

[@devengli1017]

Love this convo keep it up

[@MackJulion]

EM without question! Highest selling rap album of all time. Sold out world tours. Signed 50cent. Starred in a movie about his life. Performed with Elton John and won a Grammy for best soundtrack for Loose Yourself...

[@peediddy4433]

I Agree Wit Em Both That Lil Wayne & 50 Cent Had The Greatest Runs.Hard For Me To Chose Between The 2 Because They Both My Favorite

[@lynnw2953]

wayne, luda & nelly had those rap crossover runs that I think lasted the longest & strongest. 50 was HUGE, but i think it was only for a 3-4 years at the most.

[@etal7723]

Lynn W um 2000 guess who's back when we was beefing with supreme team 2005 he released the massacre that's 5 years. You can argue to 2007. Curtis - I get money. Interscope just didn't support him. 50 could have released a blank disk but he put on banks buck and Yayo.

[@etal7723]

Lynn W also the GRodt soundtrack.

[@lynnw2953]

no one outside of new York or the northeast coast knows whatever you just referred to. if we're talking about LOCAL/REGIONAL success then wayne's run started in 1998 and never stopped lol.

[@MsterJo23]

Lynn W i

[@TheYoungjobe]

Lynn W i agree with you totally. 50 had the biggest run as in impact but not the longest luda had a longer run than he did even drakes run today is longer than his...

[@KevofThes]

I agree with Joe. Runs in Hip Hop definitely won't be the same as they were. I may not have paid as much attention to them back then but, I'm glad I was around during DMX, Em, Ja Rule, Nelly, Luda, 50, Wayne and Drake. The most fun, interesting and historic.

[@MrEer218]

When you had real street shit going on and you take over main stream and now tv. 50 is the epitome of "started from the bottom now we here"

[@Monstermat587]

I from a third world tiny isolated country and everybody was rockin with 50 cent!! Ive never seen any hip hop artist have that kind of impact accept 50!!
