The Mt. Rushmore of 2010's Rap (CONTROVERSIAL)

[@anormalchaoss]

Pay really trynna end that beef with Nicki 💀

[@veliciarogers7347]

😂😂😂

[@PRIDEATH]

People don't understand future has been in the game so long, tony Montana, karate chop, racks on racks, bitches love me, turn off the lights, he was a hook monster before becoming this solo hit artist earlier and people forget about that

[@moeketsiphello2784]

now this is a straight man who’s comfortable in his sexuality. most of the guys are gonna dismiss Nicki knowing very well she’s the best selling female rapper of all time and it only took about 3 years of her career to surpass the other females …

[@nameisamine]

It’s more of a question of ‘masculinity’, ‘ego’, and ‘male chauvinism’ rather than sexuality or orientation, but I understand what you’re trying to say.

[@nameisamine]

It’s disappointing that he has to make a whole disclaimer just to put Nicki Minaj on this list just because there’s a lot of dudes with misogynistic tendencies, who will never take a female rapper seriously - no matter how impactful - and will actively gate keep women out of these conversations altogether. She’s one of the most influential artists of that decade regardless of genre. If there was a ‘all-genre’ 2010s Mount Rushmore, frankly, there’s a good case for her making that shortlist too.

[@orionguevera]

youre right , but alot of people speak in terms of what they know . If you dont listen to female rappers it takes longer for you to understand nickis impact, because some people didnt even listen to nicki . everything isnt misogynistic / from hate, some shit just be misinformed. it can be the same if you dont listen to a genre and only use what you know to make opinions, the people that listen to the genre will understand nuance and can provide better context

[@orionguevera]

and if theyre not qualified to speak on it fuck their opinion

[@nameisamine]

@@orionguevera it’s no merely unfamiliarity, they don’t listen _because_ the rapper is female. I didn’t even know it was a thing until I was older that guys would refuse to listen to music made by women. I found that bizarre. The bias is baked in, so let’s call out the male chauvinism we all know exists. If you’re up to date with every major rapper’s discography, but when one of the biggest selling rappers in history is mentioned, and you’ve never tapped simply because she’s female? Then you’re sending the message that art made by women isn’t worth your time, and you send the message that you devalue artistic expression when it’s coming from a female perspective.

[@SweaterSwagg]

Her impact has largely been negative, all her heirs are trash. She has no masterpiece albums and consistently embarrasses herself openly, it ain't misogyny she just ain't all that in the grand scheme 🤷

[@nameisamine]

@@SweaterSwagg This take is flawed; it's more a personal attack on her image than an assessment of her artistic prowess. She brought a dynamic theatricality to hiphop, blazed a trail at a time nobody thought a female rapper could become that successful, mastered the pop/rap crossover, became a global superstar (which had never been done before), carving a blueprint for contemporaries, and influenced music scenes across multiple genres from Europe to Asia, where every Kpop group now has a rapper with colourful hair - you don’t get to BLACKPINK without Nicki Minaj. That's global impact that transcended hiphop. This video clearly highlights her contributions, which you downplay because she's a woman. It's not about judging the impact as good or bad; it's about acknowledging its sheer magnitude. Hence the Mount Rushmore

[@heywetsi4209]

You forgot Nicki Minaj Pink Friday Roman Reloaded. It was her 2nd album before Pink Print. It sold 235K units first week

[@SpaceyNYC]

Chief Keef is for sure on the Mount Rushmore for influence (right next to Future) but he doesn’t fit your other 2 criteria well so I get why he wasn’t brought up. I think he at least deserves a mention though

[@iusedtobepay]

Definitely deserved a mention

[@rakeemkoroma2398]

would say he’s on the trap mount rushmore for the soundcloud/new wave generation

[@nvm7191]

Future, Sosa, Kendrick, Drake

[@OGDynasty]

Another thing about future as far as numbers, most of those classics were free mixtapes at the time.

[@jamesthompson5287]

Nicki Minsk has to be there, she’s easily the most influential female rapper ever. PERSONALLY if you don’t add her you’re delusional

[@thatbarbchels]

honestly, it’s most likely just people who don’t like nicki, SOME younger ppl, emphasis on SOME, and ppl who don’t know any of her music except her hits that are saying she shouldn’t be on the mount rushmore for rap.

[@1biggabeatz]

Honestly i think big sean should have been there but he was missing something, him, drake, cole and kendrick really standed out back in the 2010s

[@PRIDEATH]

Are you serious? I love Detroit, hall of Fame, DSP, he's not Fourth, I'd say he's in that second tier with logic and thug

[@USHARDY]

Maybe if it was only the first half of the 2010s

[@RoyalTy37]

Hell nah

[@rakeemkoroma2398]

i feel like we’re going to see J Cole really shine this decade

[@ddl3718]

He honestly might take artist of the decade, he’s easily taken the last 4 years. I only see Keem and JID being real competition

[@eddietalley534]

J Cole not being top 3 is wild like come on you putting future and Nikki Minaj over Cole

[@iusedtobepay]

They both have a bigger impact/influence imo that’s why

[@tanakamawoyo7027]

Look at his dream dreamville label producing arguably the next best rapper JID

[@cameronezell2504]

Perfect List in my opinion

[@adityabasnet4025]

man j cole has the numbers, quality, impact and so much more than future. idc what yall say im even putting him over nick(i like nicki)

[@Slade432]

You’re nuts.

[@lemonhelaseptik]

it's your opinion, you have the right to be wrong

[@renee7271]

J cole is not that big in actuality, i’m from outside the US and i didn’t even know about him or a single song of his before a couple of years ago. Future on the other hand, his bangers are played here for sure also Nicki is much bigger globally. Impact also, future over cole any day.

[@GStatus8911]

Ngl I was gonna black 😅 but after hearing your breakdown I'd say it's a solid list. Lol @ light-skin era 😭😭

[@RonyKii_]

ASAP rocky on the mount rush is crazy lmao

[@LeoMes01]

I lowkey would go Kendrick Drake Young thug Tyler Just because Tyler has dropped at least 3 classics Wolf Flower boy Igor Odd future was a cultural phenomenon loiter squad. The whole Politically correct n word thing The man is a walking meme who happens to make excellent music. Oh and he was the original hypebeast rapper like remember that in the mid to late 2010s

[@slimpapiiiii]

Drizzy, Kendrick, and Nicki are given for the 2010's Mt. Rushmore, and I knew from the start of this vid that it's Future that is the fourth one.

[@earthboundonquest]

Kanye is much more influential and important to 2010s hip-hop than Drake is ( Yeezus, Tlop ) but Drake is still valid.. aside from that W Rushmore imo

[@maskedupWHAM]

No Kanye is early 2000’s not 2010’s

[@earthboundonquest]

@@maskedupWHAM I mentioned Yeezus and Tlop both of which have influenced a lot of artist like Travis Scott, etc.

[@granta3044]

Drake and Kanye aren't "MCs" they are "performing artists", they use help to concoct their verses. Check the paperwork, all verses needed help😂😂😂😂

[@thenewyorkhip-hopspot5485]

The caveat to Futures impact to me is that he shares a large amount of that impact with Thug. Therefore it’s hard to give him the crown on impact alone.

[@alisahinnnn]

Kendrick is not #2 at all!! His unbiased ranking (#4) Skill/Quality- #1 Numbers- #5 Impact- #4 - Drakes Ranking (#1) Quality- #2 Numbers- -#1 Impact- #2 - Nicki Minaj (#2) Quality- #3 Numbers- #2 Impact- #2 - Future- #3 Quality- #4 Impact- #3 Numbers- #3

Kanye & Wayne are from the 2000s bruh. they biggest most impactful music is from 2000s. they do not deserve to be on this 2010s list they too old

[@alisahinnnn]

Well Nicki deserves to be on there! It was disrespectful to put out a vote for the 4th spot! Nicki’s Impact is crazy, she inspired male & every female rapper! Her animated raps were criticized during her debut but it allowed artists like Young Thug & Kendrick do the same without being criticized!!!! She revived female rap genre single handedly & commercialized it like never before! She got some of the most memorable & praised verses in hiphop, she constantly bodied Male Rappers on songs like Jay, Ye, Drake, Wayne & held her own against Eminem, J Cole! Her numbers are only surpassed by Drake! No other rapper seeing her on the charts! She’s billboards 2nd biggest rapper of 2010s & 5th Biggest of all times! She achieved these stats with only 5 Albums out meanwhile her peers have 6-13 albums out! Which is crazy! - With 147 Hot100 Hits including three #1 & 23 Top10, 49 Top20, 72 Top40 Hits & 3 #1 & 3 #2 Projects also a #10 Compilation on albums chart, only Drake can surpass Nicki when it comes to Hits

[@SplendidNinja]

Future over Ye on a 2010s mt Rushmore is yikes bro.

[@maskedupWHAM]

And can we get a vidio of you predicting who will be on the mfn Rushmore of the 2020’s

[@tanakamawoyo7027]

Aint no mt Rushmore without j Cole

[@teebradley2078]

🎉we can't deny it's nicki

[@Jockandballin]

As a kanye glazer, i feel drake shouldn't be on the list by your criteria. Most of his early sound that you used as examples were inspired by kanye's 808s and heartbreak. Yeezus had more impact on music then drake's entire catalog. It inspired travis, jpeg, and Tyler's cherry bomb.

[@GioSirSkii]

ayo bro nicki not finna watch this, i would place Young Thug instead

[@iusedtobepay]

Nicki already don’t like me this just my true opinion

[@SweaterSwagg]

LMAO cook

[@davewoof1]

There could be a good argument for wiz khalifa in that Mount Rushmore.

[@uort6275]

A Mount Rushmore without Cole? okay.

[@anormalchaoss]

For the criteria I don’t think Cole did much like who out rn was influenced by Cole lyrical rap is a thing of the past , and numbers not the greatest of the 2010s

[@PRIDEATH]

I hate to say it because Cole is 3rd in terms of skill but he's a lesser Kendrick why put Cole up there when TPAB is better than 2014 but 2014 is still top 5 of the decade

[@thenewyorkhip-hopspot5485]

Also Ik it don’t seem like but Cole is a lot bigger than future. Like from born sinner to KOD is 300k+

[@alisahinnnn]

Kendrick is not even the 3rd biggest rapper of the decade when it comes to success & numbers! Actual Top Rappers of 2010s - #1 Drake (Also #1 All time) #2 Nicki Minaj (#5 All Time) #3 Future #4 Kendrick #5 J Cole - So Facts are facts Nicki & Drake dominated 2010s their catalog of Hits are unmatched!

[@mrlofi333]

Lil Wayne? J cole ? Idk man good list tho

[@timmy5876]

at the start of this year i was thinking how music was gonna just go downhill for me, i was a big fan of old uzi, x and juice wrld. The only new artist i rlly liked was carti (i know he’s not new but ygm). Then this year pink tape i loved, utopia was obviously good and i wasn’t that excited for it then AGC was amazing, for me 2020-2022 was pretty ass other than like donda, WLR, the melodic blue and a couple others but that was only a project or 2 every year i was loving but this year has given me hope
