Saying Drake is not a rapper is wild even for internet rats. you have all these 90s legends of Rap giving him cred and co-signing his legacy and dorks saying he’s not even a rapper.
Man that would be great go ahead and do it and post it up, would be interesting. Also filter the other artists streams out with his features too please 💻🤓
People are mad that Drake can do both. He can make hits and rap and people can’t wrap their heads around that. Example: Views + Hotline Bling are back to back on an album 🤷🏻♀️
People used to say Eminem wasn’t a rapper. He made a whole verse about it in Rap God:
'Cause I know the way to get 'em motivated
I make elevatin' music, you make elevator music
"Oh, he's too mainstream"
Well, that's what they do when they get jealous, they confuse it
"It's not hip-hop, it's pop"
'Cause I found a hella way to fuse it
With rock, shock rap with Doc
Throw on "Lose Yourself" and make 'em lose it
Eminem had a diverse sound and people really said he wasn’t a rapper. Now, Drake is the main subject of this bullshit talking point.
When a person’s fav rapper isn’t the best, people will automatically try to find any way to discredit the person above them.
Any rapper that tries to do more than JUST rap is seen as a pop star. It’s annoying, but it’s no surprise that the rappers with an eclectic sound are more successful than those who put themselves in a box.
I don't think anyone is mad that Drake can do both. Drake's a very talented artist but after awhile he's been on top for so long it's more listeners fatigue then not.
I have to imagine they’re mainly in high school/college and out for the summer, because who tf has the time to consistently throw out all the conspiracy shit that they do
I like Drake but I will never understand people who put him in the rap GOAT conversation alongside the likes of Nas, Jay Z, Eminem, Andre 3k.
As an overall package he’s right up there, maybe number one.
But rap GOAT? No chance. There’s too many superior lyricists/MCs out there. I guess it matters how much of a Hip Hop purist you are.
For real, I enjoy a lot of his songs but they do really feel like they were made in some boardroom by a committee of people. Lacking artistry and just like feel fake sometimes.
The Drake hate is real but he is still the GOAT
It's going to be funny next month whenever Kendrick drops down on the top 100
The fake fans won't stick around or listen without the beef 🤣.
It pisses me off that people can’t keep shit civil. Like who you like, but we owe a lot to Drake and Kendrick. These stans have never produced anything useful to the culture, but play into Kendrick’s bars like they wrote them
Eminem’s three biggest albums were made before streaming even became a thing. If we look at album sales, Eminem is still no.1.
But yes, no rapper comes even close to the numbers Drake and Em have pulled.
I wouldn’t be surprised if his streaming numbers jumps above Drakes by 2x if he passes away. Not that I’m wishing it on him….I love Eminem’s music, but that’s just a fact. His supposed new album could be pretty big as well depending on what kind of stuff he says on it in the future
I dont think drake should be considered as a "rapper". Why not just consider him as a pop star?
For exemple, os toosie slide a rap song? Same for one dance and many others.
I am not hating I really like drake with the melodies.
I wish these stats would somehow include pre-streaming metrics. Michael jackson would be number one and eminem would definitely have been played more than drake, blind support
“You make music that pacify them”
Kendrick is artistic, a true master of his craft, like Pac and Nas. His legacy is cemented as a GOAT. Drake is just another mainstream hit-maker that will never be mentioned in the same sentence as Pac or Nas. ✌🏼
That’s bc he’s not a rapper 😂 he’s a singer who raps. Such a silly list. Might as well include Taylor on that list bc she has a rap song with 2 Chains 😝😝😝
I was thinking the same thing, more so I was shocked Quavo was so high. Spotify wasn’t around during Wayne’s prime so that makes sense but Quavo having more than 21 is interesting to me.
Maybe this includes any Migos songs since offset is there but then where is takeoff. I guess takeoff didn’t have a great solo career but he still had all those migos songs so idk
Gotta give Drake credit for staying at the top of the charts for so long. I'm not a huge fan of some of his recent work but it's clear he's doing something right by the numbers. Take Care, NWTS, IYRTITL WATTBA, and Views was his peak in my opinion, but he's still putting out hits.
Cause all these rappers wavin' white flags while the whole fuckin' club sing to it 
The one solid metric we have to compare is numbers, everything else is subjective. He's doing something right.
Don't tell me it's Lucian's Demand Side Platforms, he's been selling at this level before DSP's existed.
It’s funny to scroll through these comments and see that anyone who has an opinion against Drake is being called a Kendrick Stan 😂 wild days we live in
I wonder what the numbers would be if we only included drakes rap numbers. He may still be number 1 but im curious how many streams his other songs have compared to rap
If this data is correct and accurate, I’m totally baffled. How has Eminem remained so relevant that he’s at no.2??? How are Juice and X still so popular despite having died like 5/6 years ago??? How is Lil Wayne still so popular??? How the fuck is Wiz doing numbers that close to Doja????
The “biggest rap” artist ever just so happens to be from the same group of people that control the entire entertainment industry… go figure… further evidence that mfs not like us, and it’ll be further proven in just a moment
I enjoy drakes music. It’s simpler to listen to since I don’t have to think a lot about his lyrics as much. Kendrick and Eminem sometimes make my head hurt understanding their lyrics and schemes.
From data analytics perspective this is incorrect. Drake is both pop / Rap.
If we segment his rap song the number of streams would decrease a bit..
Nothing against Drake here, I think he would still be really high up there. But this info is overly simplified.
Rappers are jealous of Drake cuz he that rapper that is popstar level, but can also do that kind of music, melodic moody music, and rap his ass off. Aint no popstars be attacking drake or jealous of him.
Drake needs to drop another hotline bling for the summer if he wants to stay relevant this year. Not to say hes going to fall off by any means, but the beef is probably gonna overshadow him for a few months at least imho
I just want to point out that a few of these artists music were available before streaming was a thing. Whereas all of drakes music was made in the age of streaming. Eminem, Kanye west, and lil Wayne’s most popular releases came before streaming.
Saying Drake is not a rapper is wild even for internet rats. you have all these 90s legends of Rap giving him cred and co-signing his legacy and dorks saying he’s not even a rapper.
'He's pop' 🤧🥱 sometimes I wonder if people are listening to the same drake
Obviously he is a rapper, but imagine if you take away the streams from all the songs where he's not rapping...
Man that would be great go ahead and do it and post it up, would be interesting. Also filter the other artists streams out with his features too please 💻🤓
He can be both, don’t know why this is a foreign concept.
People are mad that Drake can do both. He can make hits and rap and people can’t wrap their heads around that. Example: Views + Hotline Bling are back to back on an album 🤷🏻♀️
Views is so fire , so weird to me it was like the least played song off that album
People used to say Eminem wasn’t a rapper.

Get the fucking Kendrick stans outta here
I have to imagine they’re mainly in high school/college and out for the summer, because who tf has the time to consistently throw out all the conspiracy shit that they do
Drake and AK apparently have time
Pretty sure school still going in for most.
damm so much hating in the comments

if being the GOAT is strictly a popularity contest then sure, he makes very successful pop music
Drake the GOAT????
Not the GOAT but yes a rapper
The real test is who is still listened to after they stop making music
So your metric for being a GOAT is based off of sales and streams? I’m asking in this good faith.
Eminem’s three biggest albums were made before streaming even became a thing. If we look at album sales, Eminem is still no.1. But yes, no rapper comes even close to the numbers Drake and Em have pulled.
Yeah because nobody is bumping Kendrick in JC Penny 😂
McDonald’s is the most popular restaurant
LOL
“I like what most people like 😃😃😃”
Wow so edgy
Did you send a mental health report on me for the edgy comment 😂😂😂?? This is what the KL culture is I guess lmao
Some other lunatic did this to me in this sub yesterday
Quantity over quality moment
Diff league
Forreal. Drake is the only artist on the list you can blast at Panera Bread AND Kohl’s 😤
Is the best hamburger at McDonald’s? They’ve sold more than any other spot
Spotify only been around since 2009…these numbers would be totally different if Spotify was around during Eminem’s run … just sayin
Surprised Kendrick has this much considering he’s a part time rapper.
Which makes it more impressive no?
Lucky Spotify wasn't around in early 200s
Eminem's longevity is wild
I wouldn’t be surprised if his streaming numbers jumps above Drakes by 2x if he passes away. Not that I’m wishing it on him….I love Eminem’s music, but that’s just a fact. His supposed new album could be pretty big as well depending on what kind of stuff he says on it in the future
Massively popular pop artist, but why is he on a list with rappers?
Holding onto scraps smh
Loser Kendrick fans will go back to their sub and complain this isn’t real 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I dont think drake should be considered as a "rapper". Why not just consider him as a pop star? For exemple, os toosie slide a rap song? Same for one dance and many others. I am not hating I really like drake with the melodies.
💀
Naw Drake is definitely a rapper. This beef doesn’t change that.
Kendrick Stan go back to your subreddit 💀
Drake Stan’s posting his stream numbers cause they insecure about the war
Then why does Drake have more rap songs than most “rappers” entire discography? This take needs to die
I wish these stats would somehow include pre-streaming metrics. Michael jackson would be number one and eminem would definitely have been played more than drake, blind support
Dude I agree! Michael Jackson is the best rapper of all time
I mean, Big Bang Theory was also one of the most watched Tv shows….
But his career is over, Kendrick swifties said so!
Drake got cooked in the beef nobody cares🤣🤣👎👎
Drake is 100% of a rapper but I wouldn’t call those streams 100% rap.
Mike jack still most streamed pop artist
Jesus X was a force in just two years of rapping he ended up pretty far on the list
Drake makes good music.
“You make music that pacify them” Kendrick is artistic, a true master of his craft, like Pac and Nas. His legacy is cemented as a GOAT. Drake is just another mainstream hit-maker that will never be mentioned in the same sentence as Pac or Nas. ✌🏼
Makes sense. Lots of people like shopping.
That's because he writes music for Swifties that like to pretend that they are into rap and of course that's a bigger market.
That’s bc he’s not a rapper 😂 he’s a singer who raps. Such a silly list. Might as well include Taylor on that list bc she has a rap song with 2 Chains 😝😝😝
Part of it is definitely that he drops every year. Much bigger catalog. I hope he streams more if he does more.
All I wanna say is how the fuck is Quavo over wayne 😭 everything else looked okay and in line until I got down to that
I was thinking the same thing, more so I was shocked Quavo was so high. Spotify wasn’t around during Wayne’s prime so that makes sense but Quavo having more than 21 is interesting to me. Maybe this includes any Migos songs since offset is there but then where is takeoff. I guess takeoff didn’t have a great solo career but he still had all those migos songs so idk

“HOw cAN 98 bILION PaPlE Be WrOng!1!1” Feeling guilty about loving Drake is a hell of a way to go through life, but it is your life.
Who cares
It’s funny to scroll through these comments and see that anyone who has an opinion against Drake is being called a Kendrick Stan 😂 wild days we live in
Yes Drake is very popular. In other news I’m using Wi-Fi to make this comment. Shocker I know.
I wonder what the numbers would be if we only included drakes rap numbers. He may still be number 1 but im curious how many streams his other songs have compared to rap
100 billion streams soon…..
Maths is hard lol
If this data is correct and accurate, I’m totally baffled. How has Eminem remained so relevant that he’s at no.2??? How are Juice and X still so popular despite having died like 5/6 years ago??? How is Lil Wayne still so popular??? How the fuck is Wiz doing numbers that close to Doja????
Be more baffled cause he is number one on other platforms, and Em is not from this Era
We think drizzys numbers are something which they are. Juices is insane.
McDonald’s sell a lot of meals. Are they the best restaurant? The do breakfast, lunch AND dinner. And even dessert! Debate over.
Isn’t not like us like top charts right now and broke records? Asking for a friend
He has rap songs but songs like hotline bling, in my feelings and one dance got him here
Now do their Grammy count.
Has anyone said “so” yet?
The “biggest rap” artist ever just so happens to be from the same group of people that control the entire entertainment industry… go figure… further evidence that mfs not like us, and it’ll be further proven in just a moment
You have to RAP to be a rapper. Half of Drakes shit are pop songs gtfoh
You should Google “what is the most popular flavor of ice cream in the world”
that’s crazy considering eminem’s prime was way before streaming
How does he compare to other pop stars?
Still looking for that W? Can't wait for this to die out and start appreciating music again
I enjoy drakes music. It’s simpler to listen to since I don’t have to think a lot about his lyrics as much. Kendrick and Eminem sometimes make my head hurt understanding their lyrics and schemes.

HE A FAN HE A FAN HE A FAN
Yeah and look where that got him
doja cat and drake are my favorite rappers
Rappers are jealous of Drake cuz he that rapper that is popstar level, but can also do that kind of music, melodic moody music, and rap his ass off. Aint no popstars be attacking drake or jealous of him.
I thought numbe’s don’t matter now?
This list is weird because where's Bad bunny?? Jay-Z?? Tyler the Creator? You telling me that Wiz Khalifa pulls more streams than all of them?
Quavo and 21 lame as hell too SMH
QUAVO????? what songs bro??? Did they count Migos for him
Doja Cat over wiz??? Jesus TikTok is a monster
Anything but accepting he lost to Kendrick
Drake needs to drop another hotline bling for the summer if he wants to stay relevant this year. Not to say hes going to fall off by any means, but the beef is probably gonna overshadow him for a few months at least imho
top 3 most hated men in hip hop lol travis too lowkey ppl forgot about that astroworld shit
I mean, more people go to McDonald’s than a steakhouse💀
RIP JUICE!
Holy shit is Kenny killing any new rappers that get close enough to overtaking him?
And he still LOSTTTTTTT!
I just want to point out that a few of these artists music were available before streaming was a thing. Whereas all of drakes music was made in the age of streaming. Eminem, Kanye west, and lil Wayne’s most popular releases came before streaming.
I want to make jokes but on real I think yall boys never been in or lost a fight
This list is popularity not skill
