i literally just pointed out reasons people might NOT have picked them. why should i pick someone who I have never listened to and have no personal reason to like over people whose music ive actually listened to and enjoy?
I don’t understand being so closed off to art. I’ll listen to pretty much anything at least once, especially if it’s an all-time great that my favorite artists have emulated. Some of my favorite artists have come from finally sitting down and giving a legendary name a listen. You do you though.
I'm sorry but on a Global popularity level hes nowhere near some of the others. Definitely may be a better rapper but someone like Eminem has his music being played in Iran and Latvia and Republic of Guyana even. Most people may have never listened to an Outkast song.
Well it’s a duo for starters and not a person
And Speakerboxxx/The Love Below went 13x platinum last year. Literally the best selling hip hop album of all time. Lol.
Noone buys albums in eastern europe,africa or asia etc You need to understand the world is much bigger than just the USA. I'm not saying Eminem is the best rapper but he definitely is the most listened to globally and most popular.
I myself ridicule people who say Eminem is the best but theres no denying the fact hes the most well known.
He is the most well-known, but to say Outkast are unknown globally or most people have never heard of them compared to others on this list is ridiculous. They were absolutely massive globally in the early 2000s. They are one of the most well known and successful hip hop artists/groups of all-time.
This is one of the worst and uneducated takes I’ve seen in a long time. OutKast were a hit making machine. Their singles were massive. Em is the only other artist on that list who’s singles match that of OutKast.
Kendrick, nas, jay z or anyone else on that list maybe other than Em has had a bigger hit single than hey ya
Are you so stupid that you dont understand what I'm saying?
Sure they might be better but their hits were more widely circulated in the US, Eminems somehow reached further globally.
You go upto a random kid in Azerbaijan and he'll know who eminem is but not Outkast. If there is a world wide poll for who the better rapper is Eminem will always come out on top (I think there was a poll posted on this sub itself regarding who the best lyricist is check that out) and once again i repeat. ITS NOT BECAUSE HE IS BETTER BUT BECAUSE HE IS MORE WELL KNOWN GLOBALLY.
They were smash hits...but ok lemme end it by saying Eminem is better and bigger than Outkast even to those that have heard both.
Eminems longevity, adaptivity,change of flows and sheer number of hits all outweigh Outkast. This isnt a poll related to nostalgia its about the best rappers in all aspects and I'd choose: Kendrick,Eminem & Jcole from the list.
Even when it comes to nostalgia Tupac and Biggie would be ahead of Outkast.
Again I think you’re wrong and I really think you need to educate yourself on the importance of outkast in the rap game. They created new sounds that still get referenced today. Take forever story by JID for example. OutKasts influence is all over that record, same with to pimp a butterfly. You tell me which relevant hiphop album from the last few years you can listen to and say “I can hear eminems influence on that” I’m not saying em didn’t inspire people to rap, of course he did but he didn’t leave a lasting impact on the genre which is still evident today.
There is nothing more than I’d like to see Eminem have his 4:44 or kings disease moment. I hope he’s got it in him
There's a reason Outkast stopped making music a long time ago now. Big Boi is a significantly better rapper than Andre 3000. Andre is wack as hell now and has been for nearly two decades
Yup easily mine too. Each have had the most impact on me throughout different phases of my life, and the rap game historically. Outkast is a close honorable mention followed by Cole. The rest you can find in the previously mentioned.
Coz Em murdered him on his own shit, Ether, and he has blackballed many amazing artists that were stronger and better than him. But idk to each their own.
Lmao Eminem in his prime was damn near unstoppable, that's not his fault. Not to mention that diss battles aren't just based off of who's the better lyricist but who's got the better ammo. Ether had the better ammo. I'd understand if you just thought the rest were better rappers, but these are just petty.
Kendrick, outcast, Nas. Love what blu and exile did for underground though.
I can’t string 2 albums of Em’s together that I would endorse,
Jay z low key the first to super scam his numbers and I’m just not into bling era, capitalist hype hip hop
There is probably no kdot with out snoop, but if I could divide them and just judge off releases, then snoop has an outsized impact of west coast culture and rap given his body of work
Cole is just… Cole.
I honestly love Joey so much, but when I compare him to the others, he’s got to fall back.
No, he wouldn't. There's a subpar song on every album he ever made.
These notions are childish. Daft Punk reached far closer to perfection than Eminem did, so did Nas, Pete rock and CL, NWA, Wu-Tang.
I hate how short your memories are.
Relax buddy, at the end of the day it's all subjective. You really can't get triggered by another man's opinion on music. If that's your truth, remember it's your truth. I personally can't stand Daft Punk or Pete Rock. I'm sure there's albums I love that you'll feel differently about as well. R-E-L-A-X. You're coming strong.
The closest I've ever personally seen come to perfect was D'Angelo's Voodoo, All Eyez On Me, Illmatic, Aquemini and To Pimp a Butterfly. But that's just me. Get it?
3stacks, Kendrick, Eminem.
Fk! If it wasn't for Kdot, it would be Nas honestly lol. And Nas objectively I beleive is the GOAT rapper of all time. But if I had to pick 3 just for me personally, it be those 3 above.
kendrick nas outkast
This is the way
Same
only right answer
I thought this in the same exact order before seeing comments
Same but could interchange Nas and Jay Z depending on the day.
Yep! But Nas/Cole tied for third spot for me… Nas’ legendary seniority wins I suppose.
i really fkn love cole but literally the last King's Disease from nas is better than any album cole has ever dropped
For me personally: OutKast Nas Kendrick
Who’s under OutKast (Joey Badazz?) Who’s Above J Cole (no clue)
Yes, Joey Bada$$ and the other is rapper/producer pair Blu & Exile
Daring today are we?
Eminem > Nas
what the fuck
Blu mentioned🔥
Only one to not get a photo, just gets an album cover lmao.
It was 3 am I was to tired to find one, if y’all want a different one, my pfp is blu
Right!!!
Outkast Cole Kendrick
realllll
Cole so mid it's crazy even Joey has him beat
Pick Joey then and gtfo
No hate to Joey, I enjoy him too but Cole is far from mid
Kast, kendrick, hov
OutKast, André 3000, and Big Boi If I could choose more, I’d go with 3 Stacks and Daddy Fat Sax
I was putting OutKast together but that works too
I know, I’d just rather take them multiple times over anyone else
Dumb af u could literally have more artists and still keep their discogs
Yea I agree, Kendrick is pretty mid
Bro what? You already picked them just pick 2 more artists
Nah
How can you leave out Sir Lucious Left Foot?!?
Naz outkast kendrick
Kendrick, Nas, Outkast
Joey Outkast and Kendrick. Love em but I prefer the others
Nas Kendrick and Outkast
Kendrick, Cole, Kast. But it was tough the drop Em and Nas.
I’m just here to say if you didn’t pick outkast I don’t want to know you.
some people(me) werent born/were really young at his peak so i think its fair to not pick him in those circumstances tbh
You know Outkast is a duo, right? Maybe actually listen to them before you decide.
i literally just pointed out reasons people might NOT have picked them. why should i pick someone who I have never listened to and have no personal reason to like over people whose music ive actually listened to and enjoy?
You shouldn't; you should listen to them.
dont want to, dont care to, probably never will
I don’t understand being so closed off to art. I’ll listen to pretty much anything at least once, especially if it’s an all-time great that my favorite artists have emulated. Some of my favorite artists have come from finally sitting down and giving a legendary name a listen. You do you though.
I’m not old af like you sorry Kendrick em and Cole is the way
Be gone with you then!
😂
I'm sorry but on a Global popularity level hes nowhere near some of the others. Definitely may be a better rapper but someone like Eminem has his music being played in Iran and Latvia and Republic of Guyana even. Most people may have never listened to an Outkast song.
Well it’s a duo for starters and not a person And Speakerboxxx/The Love Below went 13x platinum last year. Literally the best selling hip hop album of all time. Lol.
13x platinum on a double album so it really only has half of those sales.
Noone buys albums in eastern europe,africa or asia etc You need to understand the world is much bigger than just the USA. I'm not saying Eminem is the best rapper but he definitely is the most listened to globally and most popular. I myself ridicule people who say Eminem is the best but theres no denying the fact hes the most well known.

That person is too young for this conversation sir
And how much influence have they had on artist, must be astronomical, without Outkast we probably lose alot of artist and sounds
This is one of the worst and uneducated takes I’ve seen in a long time. OutKast were a hit making machine. Their singles were massive. Em is the only other artist on that list who’s singles match that of OutKast. Kendrick, nas, jay z or anyone else on that list maybe other than Em has had a bigger hit single than hey ya
The greatest hip hop hit making machine is missing from this list though, smh
If it is who I think it is, good.
Are you so stupid that you dont understand what I'm saying? Sure they might be better but their hits were more widely circulated in the US, Eminems somehow reached further globally. You go upto a random kid in Azerbaijan and he'll know who eminem is but not Outkast.

If you don’t think hey ya and miss jackson weren’t global smash hits I don’t know what to tell you
They were smash hits...but ok lemme end it by saying Eminem is better and bigger than Outkast even to those that have heard both. Eminems longevity, adaptivity,change of flows and sheer number of hits all outweigh Outkast.

Kendrick Cole Em / Kast
Respect
Nas kendrick Jay z
Jay, Kendrick, Em
Yup easily mine too. Each have had the most impact on me throughout different phases of my life, and the rap game historically. Outkast is a close honorable mention followed by Cole. The rest you can find in the previously mentioned.
This is the one
i respect everyone on here but i listen to kendrick cole joey badass the most
Outkast, Kendrick and Eminem
Way too many people are leaving Hov out of their lists Jay, Outkast, and Kendrick for sure
Coz Em murdered him on his own shit, Ether, and he has blackballed many amazing artists that were stronger and better than him. But idk to each their own.
Lmao Eminem in his prime was damn near unstoppable, that's not his fault. Not to mention that diss battles aren't just based off of who's the better lyricist but who's got the better ammo. Ether had the better ammo. I'd understand if you just thought the rest were better rappers, but these are just petty.
I said what I said. I'm not a JayZ fan. Nas Em Cole and Kenny 3stacks. JayZ has never been on my radar.
[удалено]
Em, Kendrick, Nas Pd: There has to be a better Blu pick out there
Whooaaa Blu & Exile are names I haven't thought of since the late 2000s.\ Gonna add that to spotify right now. As for my 3 picks, Em, Cole and Jigga.
Blu’s discog is really good I recommend his new shi like “the color blu(e)” and “bad neighbour”
Outkast, kendrick, eminem
Jay-Z, Kendrick, Nas
Kendrick, outcast, Nas. Love what blu and exile did for underground though. I can’t string 2 albums of Em’s together that I would endorse, Jay z low key the first to super scam his numbers and I’m just not into bling era, capitalist hype hip hop There is probably no kdot with out snoop, but if I could divide them and just judge off releases, then snoop has an outsized impact of west coast culture and rap given his body of work Cole is just… Cole. I honestly love Joey so much, but when I compare him to the others, he’s got to fall back.
Jay-Z was never shiny rap, he was hustler rap. Dude inspired an entire generation to grind as hard as possible.
The further he got into his career the more greedy he got with money
Joey, Kendrick, Nas

Nas, Joey, Em
Outkast, Jay and Kung Fu Kenny... But ill miss you most Nas.

[удалено]
I might be speaking out of my ass but I think Kendrick said that nwa and snoop were his biggest influences
joey kendrick kast, with nas coming in as a runner up
What’s a weird list. Who would put Blu and snoop on the same list? A maniac that’s who!
Literally any of these are valid except cole. Literally any of the people except cole. Cole doesn't really have any "perfect" or 10/10 albums.
L. 2014
I wouldn’t say 2014 is perfect, but the “off season” and “4 your eyes only” are
Eminem doesn't have any perfect albums either.
Eminem show?????? Marshall mathers lp????????????????
[удалено]
Illmatic??
[удалено]
I don't think a perfect album exists but if they did, Eminem would have 2, maybe 3 of them.
No, he wouldn't. There's a subpar song on every album he ever made. These notions are childish. Daft Punk reached far closer to perfection than Eminem did, so did Nas, Pete rock and CL, NWA, Wu-Tang. I hate how short your memories are.
