Rap’s Mount Rushmore for the 2010’s Decade 

"My Mt. Rushmore is Drake with four different expressions"

I’m my opinion ye is top 5 in both decades. 🐐 shit.

I gotta go with Kanye. His influence was just as big in the 2010s than it was in the 2000s. MBDTF, Watch The Throne, TLOP, YEEZUS. He produced for so many big rappers and and really set the tone for most of the decade. Impactful AF. Once in a lifetime artist

Kanye automatically on both decades

Kanye is a once in a lifetime artist

Drake, Cole, Kendrick..... & Future, that mid 2010’s run for Future was just insane

Kanye this past decade: MBDTF, WTT, YEEZUS, TLOP, YE, KSG, JIK. Watch the throne tour with Jay Z, Yeezus tour, TLOP tour, KSG performance at CFG, Sunday Service, adidas Yeezy Shoes being one of the most coveted sneakers of the decade, recently announced GAP collab, and the richest artist currently ? The actual GOAT if you ask me 🤷🏼‍♂️

ASAP Rocky deserves to be at least a runner up

“My Mount Rushmore is me with four different expressions” 🦉🦉🦉

Y’all should do this same thing for the 2000s and 90s

A posse cut with ye, cole, k dot, and drizzy would be incredible

Kendrick Lamar Kanye West Drake Travis Scott

Perfect list. These episodes keep getting better. I know there’s so much to cover, but could you guys rank these artists’ albums someday? Would be awesome to hear your guys’ rankings!

My mount rushmore for each decade: 1980s: Rakim, Kane, Kool Moe Dee, LL Cool J 1990s: Biggie, Pac, Dr Dre, Nas 2000s: Eminem, Kanye, Jay Z, Wayne 2010s: Kendrick, Cole, Nicki, Drake

Kanye dropped MBDTF and TLOP. So he automatically belongs in this 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

After 2014 FHD,FNL,4YEO,Born sinner y'all thinking of putting J cole out.I can't take your opinion seriously

-Kendrick (Best Rap album of the Decade, best MC of the generation, deep concepts, revolutionary message) -Drake (Numbers of the Hits, Iconic Singles, amazing mixtapes and the King of Mainstream Rap) -Tyler (Personas created in wich project, Odd Future Leader, push the boundaries of the genre, unique style) -Travis and/or Rocky (Expend the Trap to other waves, unbelievable aesthic, futuristc production, avangard style, brands and fashion) Honorable Mentions: Young Thug & Future for the Influence in Trap Music/J Cole, Joey Bada$$, Big Krit & Freddie Gibbs for the skills habilities and quality of the projects, but not the same level of the impact in the Genre Hors Concours: Kanye (At least 3 classics this decade, but started in the 00s)

4th has to go to either Kanye or Travis but definitely Kanye

Waiting for the 2000s and 90s one! Great video as always

I think that Wayne was so big from 2005-2009 that people forget how big he was from 2010-2014.

Drake Kendrick J. Cole Kanye West or : (Lyrically from the top 3s same generation: logic or big Sean) (Influence wise : Tyler the creator or asap rocky)

Glad you both touched on thug. He really is so influential with artists like gunna, lil baby and Roddy

Nicki Minaj's influence is second to none, had the game in a chokehold for a good 8-9 years before Cardi and Megan pulled up

17:50 listening to FEAR. Tripped out is an experience, I remember laying in a field listening to this track, watching the ground move in waves and just being mind blown by how complex that track is Of course don't do any drugs until your brain is fully developed or it will mess you up for life just wanted to share my thoughts, fantastic episode guys

JID was not influenced by Cole he’s said this in multiple interviews. He’s influenced by lil Wayne that’s his idol

Nipsey and Curren$y deserve honorable mention. Impact and consistency is undeniable

J cole has had such little impact and has 0 classics, swap him for Ye then fill the 4th spot with someone whos actually changed the game and caused impact (Tyler, Thug, Lil b etc)

Love this ep!!!

imo u can’t have Kendrick and Cole in a Mount Rushmore because their style is very similar. Constructing a Mount Rushmore u should have 4 people who best represent the biggest subgenres in hiphop. (pop, Drake. lyrical, Kendrick. Trap, Future. Emotional and Angry, XXXTENTACION.) u could argue that there should be a drill artist but imo Emotional rap is more popular considering that drill doesn’t chart as high. - Drake. He was the rapper that dominated the charts in 2010s, and most his albums are great in every crucial aspect: lyrically, vocally, production, overall sound and versatility. - Kendrick. No doubt Kendrick is the best and most consistent lyrical rapper. And while doing this it sounds amazing too. He experimented with Jazz, Rock and Pop and he seems to be able to do these styles effortlessly. - Future. Future introduced rapping about nothing and still making something sound amazing to the mainstream. He influenced the biggest trap artists rn, plus he has songs with deeper meaning about for example his drug use or relationship problems. Trap is without a doubt one of the biggest hiphop genres atm and he was a big influence in this. - XXXTENTACION. X is the most underrated artist of the 2010s. 1. He made 2 sub genres mainstream/popular (emo rap and scream rap). 2. His musical abilities are overlooked by a lot of people because a lot of his songs are SoundCloud only, he was able to write actual stories very well and he chose instrumentals based on their compositions. 3. He has a major emotional impact on a lot of people, myself included. Im not including Kanye because his most influential albums are before the 2010s (IMO) he would be the best artist on the list if he would be on it tho Idc if no one reads this Im waiting on something so I got some time

Kid cudi should definitely be an honorable mention just based on his influence alone. He's probably the most influential artist of the last 10 years other than Kanye West.

1- Kendrick 2- Cole 3- Drake 4- Big Sean Based on rap, not hits, popularity, or views, just pure skill. Also Drake is a weird one because his catalog is so wide, he has literal pop songs and then actual rap songs, when he actually raps he is top 3, even if he uses ghost writers.

Kendrick and Drake are the 2 absolute locks!! You can argue and fight over the final 2 spots - Kanye, Cole, Tyler, Vince, A$AP Rocky, Future, Mac Miller, Nicki, Travis

Kendrick, Drake, Nicki and Cole makes the most sense for me. Not including Kanye because I think it's more fair to keep it in that generation

I feel Tyler would be on there too he has made such a huge impact on hip-hop though out the 2010s

I think with how young rap as a genre is, Chief Keef is debatably the MOST influential rapper of all time. He changed how rap sounds with heavy 808 trap beats and melodic rapping. I’d put him on any rap Mount Rushmore because of the influence he’s had on today’s sound.

Kendrick drake Cole travis🔒

I’d definitely have to say; Drake, Kendrick, Cole, and Travis. Albums like Rodeo and Astroworld changed the game.

I like J Cole but he shouldn't be on here. He's a good artist and has created a nice market for himself but he is not really memorable nor influential and hasn't really changed the game. I'd put Nicki for influencing a whole generation of female rappers even if they'll never admit it and Kanye because he continues to change the game.

Kendrick Drake J Cole A$AP Rocky (HM: Nicki Minaj, Joey Badass, Future, Thugger, Travis, Kanye, Tyler, Freddie, Pusha T... there's a lot of names that could be there)

I love how these two always have different opinions on each topic instead of agreeing with each other on everything. Makes it so much more enjoyable to listen to

Really feel like my man Big Sean is slept on super major. He's been really consistent over the last 10 year, has platinum hits, bars, and is a conscious rapper that definitely is quality over quantity.

mine- Kendrick- He inspired so much in the culture, is a massive success and impacted a lot Drake- Speaks for himself, biggest rapper, also big pop artist combining several genres Future- the autotune, and the trap style he has inspired some of the biggest rn (Lil Baby Polo G etc) Juice WRLD- The impact he made in the few years he was alive and shining, hits, and also starting up rappers like the kid LARIO. He inspired the modern emo melodic styles that are seeming to be the next gen of rap. Runner ups- J Cole Young Thug Kanye Travis Vince Staples YG and SchoolboyQ

Cole, Drizzy and Kenny and YE is the best four you could go with

Just a reminder that y’all the best! Can’t wait till the whole world knows about you guys! ❤️❤️ SENDING LOVE FROM CHICAGO ❤️❤️

I think y’all should do top like 5 hip hop artist of all time, veryyyyyyy controversial would be interesting

It’s Kendrick, Drake, Kanye & J. Cole

There are three types of Mt. Rushmore imo, like there is Hip Hop, and Rap like Mt. Rushmore of rap in the 2010s is Drake, Kendrick, J. Cole, and Ye, In Influence, it's Tyler, Thug, Juice, and Peep In culture then Yung Lean, X, Playboi, Cudi. If there was a 5th I'd put mac on all of those especially the Main rushmore there is more than one kind because rap as a whole is a very vague term because what can you consider rap and hip hop i think there is different types for each subgenres kendrick still the goat,

2010’s Drake, Kendrick, Jcole, Big Sean

nipsey hussle should honestly be an honorable mention

Yall ain't even going to put Nicki with the runners up??? Yo that ain't even cool. People gonna hate on his comment but girl had bars, swag, everyone tuned in when she dropped, and today every female rapper is riding the wave she started in the 2010's. It ain't like Eminem will just collab with any rapper.

2000’s Jay z, Lil Wayne, Kanye, Eminem

I went Kendrick, Cole, Drake, Nicki. Nicki got my final spot. She had the skill and commercial success and I also took into account trail blazing and influence. She is the reason women in rap have taken over in the later half of the decade. Thought about Wayne and Ye but their primes were especially in the 2000s so i have them moreso on that mount than this one.

kendrick, drake, young thug, and travis scott are my picks.

Y’all the best easily man

My take on every decade: 80’s: Eazy-E, Rakim, Bid Daddy Kane, LL 90‘s: 2Pac, Biggie, Nas, Dr. Dre 00‘s: Kanye, Eminem, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne 10‘s: Drake, Kanye, Future, Kendrick

The modern rap mount Rushmore to me is Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Drake, and Joey Bada$$. Joey has never missed with any of his projects, he's a great lyricist, and he has kept his name relevant for over a decade now.

Drake is going to prove why he belongs in the same sentence with kendrick lamar, kanye west and the other legends on this mountain with his next album(CLB), sonically-artificial quality wise. Mark my words....

Great vid again. Can’t really say anything bad about those picks. One that you missed out for me is KID CUDI. Just the fact his longevity his quality and his influence. Like you don’t get Travis without Cudi and theirs many more like that also his appeal to people who weren’t interested in hip hop that much. Was probably the first person on his level to open up about regular problems and struggles that young people go through. Cudi feels like a big brother to me. Also his actual ability to rap is so underrated and unique in my opinion. The fact he’s been releasing great music for 10+ years is crazy. Also his features his features could kill some people’s discographies. Anyway great vid guys. 🔥🔥🤟🤟

Mine is cole kendrick joey badass and denzel

When you think about it, Kanye should be a lock as well. MBDTF was the best album of the decade in my opinion, JIK was actually really good and watch the throne was such a big moment in hip hop and Kanye’s production was great as always. Lastly his impact in the fashion world.

I agree with y’all list! However I believe Big Sean should be an honorable mention. Dark Sky Paradise is a personal classic for me

Easily the best music podcast 🤝

I Think Mine Would Be 1. Kendrick 2. Cole 3. Travis 4. Future

My MT Rushmore of the 2010s are Drake, Kendrick, Cole and Future HNDRXX

Joey Badass and Wale should be in the convo

I agree with u guys Mount Rushmore. 2010-13 Kanye was damn near Untouchable. Him & Wayne single handedly shaped the 2010's in 2008. TLOP was greatly Received. 2018-19 was a Miss Period for Kanye but that can not hurt what he did 2010-16 at all 🐐🐐🐐🐐 👑👑👑👑

Love the podcast !

ngl j cole's music ages the best, i used to think he was worse than dot or drake, but now when I go back and actually listen to his tracks, he's certainly a cut above

Drake,Cole, Kendrick and Tyler

Kendrick, Yung Lean, Yetler, Lil Wayne.

if rushmore was just output quality, it’s Kendrick, Kanye, Tyler & Death Grips for me

I think you could argue that trap and the SoundCloud sound need to be represented on the Mount Rushmore but your picks and honorable mentions are really solid. Hard to debate with ye as the addition. I might argue for Travis or future instead of jcole.

Idk about 2000s but I for sure got ye and Wayne in there

I freaking love this channel, straight 🔥

Kendrick, Cole, Drake, Ye

Just subed from TikTok love the content

My mt Rushmore for the current generation: Kendrick,drake, Cole, Denzel Curry

Drake,Kendrick,Cole, Nicky

My Mount Rushmore Migos Drake Travis Scott Kendrick

never expected the roc marciano shout but hes def in mine

Rocky or Tyler are the only people who deserve to fill that spot

That top dawg shirt is clean as hell

Kendrick , Cole , Kanye , Drake

1980-Grandmaster Flash, Flavor Flav, Joseph Simmons, and Slick Rick 1990-Tupac, Ice Cube, Scarface, and Biggie 2000-Jay-z, Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Andre 3000 2010-Kendrick, J Cole, Drake, And Kanye

I don't get why nobody mentioned push he definitely should be considered in this conversation

I Love this Convo. It's crazy as much as I knock drake for the ghostwriting there are actual singers who have never written anything and still doesn't have as many hits and features as drake does so that tells you his ear is serious and his actual talent is solidified

When he accidentally said J Cole is a runner up, i was like wtf

Mine is Kendrick, drake, X, and Danny brown

Favorite songs to listen to off the shrooms? I usually only listen to travis, a$ap, kudi when I’m trippin

My top 4 and explanation not in order Kendrick Lamar - his storytelling and album concepts deep messages and lyricism , his flows are untouched. He’s one of the best forsure. I didn’t listen to pimp a butterfly at first so I was wondering why y’all were always talking about it as the best of albums all time so I listened to it and I love it especially mortal man I love that damn song and message. but anyway good kid mad city is top 10 best album all time. Although mr morale isn’t the best of albums but it’s still gonna be a classic and it still has good songs on it like we cry together or something like savior even maybe silent hill. drake - the billboards, how many singles he sold, all the number 1s the way he mixes singing and rap is crazy. The longevity is spectacular. Also has classics like take care, if you’re reading this too late, views, nothing was the same, and scorpion whether or not if you like it is a classic. Although he has not the highest album like certified lover boy it’s still not a mid album it’s pretty good. And her loss is actually decent. Honestly nevermind is ass tho but it does not change drakes legacy and this about the 2010s anyway so he has it J cole - idk why tf everyone hates him for or is discrediting him but it’s unnecessary. An amazing album such as 4 your eyes only amazing concept album great melody to deja vu. All the songs are 10/10. 2014 forest hill drives classic album with AMAZING songs . Wet dreams, no role models, love yours an AMAZING message. Idk why you can hate on the messages he brings bro. Even kod is a good album it’s not amazing but it’s great. The off season is amazing too Future - the amazing run like they said it’s crazy. He’s super talented man. Ds2 is the best trap album all time that not even rodeo can touch it. Monster is amazing classic timeless. And he had some good features. 56 nights an amazing mixtape. And everything I can say about future I can say about youngthug But I feel future is above thug in a little way. But youngthug is not far behind tbh bro And also a honorable mention for 2010s is honestly xxx tentacion.

Kanye fans gotta let it go and sit that man with Em/50 era before. Drake, Cole, Future & Kendrick clearly. Also 16-19 is nasty for Yeezle lol

In my opinion 1. Kendrick 2. Schoolboy Q 3. Kid Cudi 4. Lil uzi (unpopular opinion)

If we got a Mount Rushmore for podcast you will be on there

Let's cut the bull, if its impact, and consistency throughout the whole decade Nikki is the 4th as much as I don't like her I've gotta give her her due.

Rapsody Kendrick Lamar j cole. Kanye west

2010s TOP 4 MT. RUSHMORE Kendrick Lamar J. Cole Big K.R.I.T Drake

Thank u I need a y’all to talk about this

Really enjoyed this episode! Where did Luca get that shirt, that looks sweet!

Kendrick Drake J Cole Tyler the creator

Kanye, Kendrick, Cole and Drake is my answer. But there’s so many artists I wish I could put in as well maybe you guys could make a top 10 rappers of the decade video in the future
