    Schoolboy
    Kendrick
    2 Chainz

    BoB possibly had the biggest fall off.
    Great start to the decade. Had some good songs Airplanes II especially.

    I enjoyed Wiz at the start too. But he fell off after Rolling Papers

    No order exept kendrick he is the number one:

    1 Kendrick
    Cole
    Drake
    Future (Future was a big influence for almost every popular genre in this decade)
    Thug
    Pusha
    And Kanye only for MBDTF

    Yeah i never saw a promise of rap fell off that bad. I'm from Argentina and here Airplanes was a big hit. That doesn't happen even with Kendrick Cole or Kanye. Only with a few Artist like Drake or some Em songs.

    These top rappers lists always seem to be an exercise of "lets try to pretend eminem doesnt exist and see how many rappers we can name"
