    Wayne was absolutely inescapable at his peak. There was a period where literally every song on the radio was either a Lil Wayne single or a single featuring Lil Wayne. No one will ever be that big again.

    No. Hopsin does and that is if we are talking both money and discography. He’s worth almost 1 billion and his discographies is one of the best in ever.

    Sales. Should be pretty straight forward for u? Em is not just the biggest rapper in the world. He is top 10 biggest artist in the world

    again. In sales.

    Again. As i have stated multiple times. Biggest is objectively money when it comes to this. So Em is the biggest

    Obviously Eminem is number one so that's out of the question.
    But, could a case be made that Lil Wayne is 2nd place?
    Wayne:
    - First went platinum in 1999 at a young teenager
    -Sold lots of albums and topped charts with the Hot Boys
    -Has one of highest number of Hot 100 entries of any artist in any genre of music
    -Declared himself the "Best Rapper Alive" while getting co-signed by other rappers, including Eminem
    -Had a number one song and best selling album of 2008 on top of a hot mixtape(Dedication 3)
    -Had Drake and Nicki Minaj blow up on his label who became superstars on their own and are still relevant today
    -Had one of the best selling albums again in 2011
    -Made a comeback in 2018 after taking a hiatus due to Birdman's fuckery
    -Just dropped another number one album this year in 2020 while stilling having plans for more music

    I'm not even a big Wayne fan like that. I enjoy his prime music but I'll always have Nas, Em, Jay, Lupe, Pac, etc. ranked above him but his run is honestly impressive af.

    Only Jay-Z, Drake, and maybe Kanye are contenders imho.

    What do you think though? If not Wayne, who has the 2nd biggest run in hip hop after Eminem?
