    He's #12 of any genre but #1 of rap, I bet if there ever will be one it'll be in the next 10 years since hip hop is bigger than it's ever been, probably a white sellout similar to Logic or Post Malone

    Especially since they're changing sales to including youtube views or whatever billboard is starting to do in January

    People forget how big Nelly was. He was more popular than both 50 + Jay during their primes, and as popular as Drake is today. Eminem is probably the only rapper who eclipsed Nelly in terms of popularity

    Drake's not really a rapper though. I think of R&B and reggae mixed with a little rap. Do you know what rap is?

    Yes, he was. In fact, Nelly was bigger in 03, which wasn't even his prime, than 50 was. lmao

    COUGH
    SO THAT DUMB f---in RUSSO, HE SAYS WE SHOULD HAVE 50 GO INTO A PROGRAM WITH KANYE. I SAID f---, KANYE'S BEEN OVER WITH THE FANS AS A MIDCARD BABYFACE SINCE HE DROVE THE f---in SHINEY SUITS OUTTA EVERY TERRITORY IN THE f---in 00s, BUT OF COURSE THIS JOCKSNIFFIN NEW YORK BAG OF s--- DON'T f---in KNOW THAT BECAUSE HE'S NEVER HEARD AN ACTUAL ALBUM IN HIS LIFE.

    AND OF COURSE RUSSO WITH THAT f---in ACCENT, I CAN BARELY UNDERSTAND A WORD HE SAYS, BUT HE SAYS WE HAVE 50 GO HEEL BY TURNIN ON NEW YORK, BECAUSE OF COURSE IN HIS TINY LITTLE BRONX BROOKLYN WHATEVER THE f--- MIND, NEW YORKS THE CENTER OF THE f---in UNIVERSE.

    SO WE DO THE f---in ANGLE AND WITH JR CALLIN IT AND VINCE MCMAHON OVERSEEIN IT, IT WORKS. 50s THE HOTTEST HEEL IN THE f---in BUSINESS AND KANYE IS GETTIN HUGE POPS EVERY TIME HE CUTS A PROMO. BUT THEN THAT f---in DESPICABLE LITTLE HUMAN JAR OF PISS VINCE RUSSO SAYS WELL THE CURTIS/GRAD ANGLES PLAYED OUT, LETS DO ANOTHER ALBUM WAR, THAT DID BUSINESS IN THE 00s. I SAID f---in s---, VINCE, HOW THE f--- DO WE WORK RICK ROSS INTO THIS PROGRAM? HE AIN'T HARDLY BEEN ON TV SINCE 2006. WELL RUSSO COMES UP WITH THIS f---in WORKED s---t WITH ROSS TRYIN TO BUY RADIOACTIVE CAKE OR SOME s--- FROM G UNIT. IT MADE NO SENSE, THE MATCHES WERE s--- AND IT WENT ON WAY TOO f---in LONG AND IN THE END, KANYE WAS OUTTA THE COMPANY, ROSS WAS FORGOTTEN QUICKER THAN YESTERDAY'S LUNCH AND 50 HAD SO MUCH f---in HEAT THEY MADE A BLACK JEW THE NEXT CHAMP

    50 went 8x platinum in 03 and revived gangsta rap. He also had the hottest crew in rap and made Hov retire. He cornered the market. Nelly doesn't even scratch the surface relative to what 50 did in 03.

    You was 6 when eminem dropped the Eminem Show in 2002 so yeah case closed drake was no where near that level ever. Em had a number 1 album, single that stayed at number 1 for 12 weeks straight, number 1 movie, and soundtrack. What did drake do in 2011 that compares?

    Old enough not to compare Drake with Jay-Z, Em, Nas, Ghostface, Biggie, Redman and Tupac. Serious answer
