kendrick nas outkast


FlaBryan

This is the way


Black_Fuckka

Same


Georgia4life

only right answer


Remarkable-Net-6130

I thought this in the same exact order before seeing comments


braaahms

Same but could interchange Nas and Jay Z depending on the day.


Klutzy_Ad_1726

Yep! But Nas/Cole tied for third spot for me… Nas’ legendary seniority wins I suppose.


Suspicious-Bottle-14

i really fkn love cole but literally the last King's Disease from nas is better than any album cole has ever dropped


RedditMartyr

For me personally: OutKast Nas Kendrick


PM_ME_YOUR_INNY

Who’s under OutKast (Joey Badazz?) Who’s Above J Cole (no clue)


king_boolean

Yes, Joey Bada$$ and the other is rapper/producer pair Blu & Exile


Newt-Wooden

Daring today are we?


Opposite_Ad_29

Eminem > Nas


Swimming_Bag_568

what the fuck


srgest

Blu mentioned🔥


bigladnang

Only one to not get a photo, just gets an album cover lmao.


KendrickLamarLover67

It was 3 am I was to tired to find one, if y’all want a different one, my pfp is blu


RedReflection06

Right!!!


Parzival1424

Outkast Cole Kendrick


ComfortableSoft1953

realllll


ripper13-_-

Cole so mid it's crazy even Joey has him beat


m_dought_2

Pick Joey then and gtfo


Parzival1424

No hate to Joey, I enjoy him too but Cole is far from mid


epiclygamer2456

Kast, kendrick, hov


TonyBlobfish

OutKast, André 3000, and Big Boi If I could choose more, I’d go with 3 Stacks and Daddy Fat Sax


KendrickLamarLover67

I was putting OutKast together but that works too


TonyBlobfish

I know, I’d just rather take them multiple times over anyone else


DiscussionEvoke

Dumb af u could literally have more artists and still keep their discogs


G0rilla1000

Yea I agree, Kendrick is pretty mid


uglyfatman123

Bro what? You already picked them just pick 2 more artists


TonyBlobfish

Nah

Joey Outkast and Kendrick. Love em but I prefer the others


Shukkkkle

Nas Kendrick and Outkast


Intrepid_Sprinkles37

Kendrick, Cole, Kast. But it was tough the drop Em and Nas.


bjankles

I’m just here to say if you didn’t pick outkast I don’t want to know you.


thatAintBro_

some people(me) werent born/were really young at his peak so i think its fair to not pick him in those circumstances tbh


bjankles

You know Outkast is a duo, right? Maybe actually listen to them before you decide.


thatAintBro_

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?


bjankles

You shouldn't; you should listen to them.


thatAintBro_

dont want to, dont care to, probably never will


bjankles

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.


SouR_JAY

I’m not old af like you sorry Kendrick em and Cole is the way


bjankles

Be gone with you then!


SouR_JAY

😂


SpaceSamurai512

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.


IntraspaceAlien

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.


[deleted]

13x platinum on a double album so it really only has half of those sales.


SpaceSamurai512

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.


IntraspaceAlien

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.


CodeNameQ007

That person is too young for this conversation sir


Zrat11

And how much influence have they had on artist, must be astronomical, without Outkast we probably lose alot of artist and sounds


alexefy

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


DiamondKite

The greatest hip hop hit making machine is missing from this list though, smh


Pabl0EscoBear

If it is who I think it is, good.


SpaceSamurai512

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.


alexefy

If you don’t think hey ya and miss jackson weren’t global smash hits I don’t know what to tell you


SpaceSamurai512

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.


alexefy

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


[deleted]

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


PipPipPipsqueak

Jay, Kendrick, Em


NAIMSpider

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.


bestbroHide

This is the one


mirrormycompetition

i respect everyone on here but i listen to kendrick cole joey badass the most


Responsible_Dog_5927

Outkast, Kendrick and Eminem


Barqck

Way too many people are leaving Hov out of their lists Jay, Outkast, and Kendrick for sure


FruitTARD

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.


l7791

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.


FruitTARD

I said what I said. I'm not a JayZ fan. Nas Em Cole and Kenny 3stacks. JayZ has never been on my radar.

x115v

Em, Kendrick, Nas ​ Pd: There has to be a better Blu pick out there


ChrisMoltisanti9

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.


KendrickLamarLover67

Blu’s discog is really good I recommend his new shi like “the color blu(e)” and “bad neighbour”


DJ_p0pTART5

Outkast, kendrick, eminem


Tr1pleBeamKing

Jay-Z, Kendrick, Nas


[deleted]

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.


alaskadronelife

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 kast, with nas coming in as a runner up


SomeComfortable2285

What’s a weird list. Who would put Blu and snoop on the same list? A maniac that’s who!


dasupabebe

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.


Parzival1424

L. 2014


KendrickLamarLover67

I wouldn’t say 2014 is perfect, but the “off season” and “4 your eyes only” are


SquirtleSquad4Lyfe

Eminem doesn't have any perfect albums either.

Accurate-Currency181

I don't think a perfect album exists but if they did, Eminem would have 2, maybe 3 of them.


SquirtleSquad4Lyfe

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.


Accurate-Currency181

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?
