no. Drake isn’t Em, Snoop, or 50 Cent big. But he is by far the biggest from this generation. But hip hop isn’t the monster it was in the early 00s. 50 cents fukking video game went platinum.

I think Drake is on his way tho. For the longest time he was missing that universally recognized big song (ie: in da club) but I think gods plan came pretty close

Na Eminem from 2000 -2004 was everywhere. If you can't remember that far back was all over mainstream news, protesters at shows, that TMZ show. He was much bigger than drake.

Snoop too in terms of recognition, wouldn't Dr Dre be included too?

Drake is currently the most popular rapper of this generation, but of all time, No! There are several rappers that were bigger in their prime.
A lot of you Drake stans don't understand the magnitude of fame before social media.

If it's just music, think Eminem is the obvious answer... Just hard to argue against the metrics.

If we're talking about as personalities... Then Puff and Jay are up there with snoop...Like if we're talking which living rappers have the most "star power" on some who is closer to A-List celebrity status type shyt, I think those two probably edge snoop out
