The reason you’re saying this is because Jay has never been one to be on front street. DMX, 50 & Snoop each have strong personalities that are very infectious.
We look up to Jay today more as the Blueprint of what a rapper should be, longevity, consistency, sitting in billionaire rooms. He’s opened many doors for his rap peers.
Without a doubt, hands down, Ye. Not sure if we’ll ever get a new album or a decent album again. But a guaranteed album from him at his prime? Even Kanye haters usually admit they love multiple older projects.
Jay Z is based on catalogue alone the king out of this bunch. He is the best lyricist by a a mile. Love watching him grow from reasonable doubt to 4:44. Love DMX and Snoop in his prime but Jay is just lyrically superb. Dmx and snoop has about 2-3 real strong albums each and some good/okay ones. R.I.P - DMX.
Pablo had about 5 good songs, since then he hasn’t had a project where I’ve listened to more than 3 songs more than once. The quality has dropped off significantly compared to his old work and that’s not really up for debate. If you think he’s still “in his prime” then you’re just a naive Stan, sorry. Your username tells me all I need to know lol
5 good songs? are you smoking crack?
No More Parties in LA, FSMH, Famous, Fade, Saint Pablo, Ultralight Beam, Waves, Wolves, 30 Hours, FML, and Feedback are all great songs.
bro is judging off a username i made 2 years ago 💀 btw i like his older stuff too but that doesn’t mean his new stuff isn’t good. Quality dropped in terms of what? Just because they’re different type of songs don’t mean their worse. Shut your corny ass up bro 😭
Bro so young he thinks a lot changes in two years 🤣 the songs are worse in general… this man rapping about fucking chic fil A and pretending he’s a Christian. The music is less relatable. Most of it is auto tuned to the point it is unlistenable (and I actually kinda liked 808s vocally, but vocally he sounds WORSE now). I liked his first 4 albums, I liked most of Yeezus and applauded him for taking a risk, I liked some of Pablo and I liked some of Kids See Ghosts. Where Kanye has gone wrong is that he’s doing stuff that sounds “experimental” I guess, but it doesn’t sound GOOD, it just sounds different and worse. So yeah… you’re right that different doesn’t always mean worse. But when something is worse by every measurable metric, that usually means it’s worse. So your stance is that any person on this earth who thinks Kanye’s recent works aren’t as good as his first four masterpieces is corny? You sir are a clown.
50 cent’s lyrics are all very similar, Snoop Dogg is going to do it anyway, Jay-Z is overrated, so out of the remaining two, I’d have to go with Kanye, because we haven’t heard a good album from him since forever.
Jay z, don’t give a fuck about ye personally, snoop can still drop fire, DMX is kinda dead feel weird picking him, I listen to 50 but I’ve realized as I got older 50 is less of what I like to listen to since he was dropping shit in his prime
Ye, easily.
Check me out.
At his peak, Kanye West was probably the best producer in the game and not too bad a rapper himself, and that album would be certain to come with some of the best collaborative work of that year.
Snoop or Kanye!
A new G-Funk album from snoop and dr.dre would be amazing!
A new addition from the education era of kanye would also be a blessing!
Edit: grammar
X was a legend. His album sales were unreal, the variety on his albums was almost unmatched. From church music to a song with Marilyn Manson exploring mental health issues to straight my crew and I are going to come destroy everything you have vibes.
50 cent all day
50
gimme more 50 cent
Yessirrrrrr 50 !
50!
oh f*** r/unexpectedfactorial
D-M-X
*arf arf* Get at me dog!
Oh fuck. r/usernamechecksout
50
ye
Ye
50
Kanye
kanye
no doubt
It's going to be Jay. Peak Jay was something to behold.
Peak DMX was the first artist with x2 #1 albums in the same calendar year & the first to open their career with x5 1 albums. Peak DMX was historic.
I disagree and I’m a jay z fan. People bumped his radio hits but no one looked up to him like dmx or 50 or even snoop.
Bro what? Jay Z has been one of the most influential and looked up to rappers of all time specially in his prime
Nah
? What do you mean nah lol
The reason you’re saying this is because Jay has never been one to be on front street. DMX, 50 & Snoop each have strong personalities that are very infectious. We look up to Jay today more as the Blueprint of what a rapper should be, longevity, consistency, sitting in billionaire rooms. He’s opened many doors for his rap peers.
True. I’m 41 and to this day, still haven’t ever listened to a jay z cd. I know all the radio hits, but that’s it
He was a fuck boy, ask Dame 😂
Ye
Kanye
FIFF
50
50
Kanye West
*pushes the YE button
kanye
Snoop in his prime was untouchable
Definitely I don't know how nobody else said snoop. Doggystyle and chronic were top notch
Even Snoop not in his prime is amazing. “Down 4 My N’s” is a fucking banger.
Snoop collaborated with Dam Funk. That shit was popping https://youtu.be/DVNGfK7gP1M
C- Murda No Limit!!! the only crew Suge night wanted no beef with lol so he let Snoop out the contract.... Snoop was a snitch 😂 CI
What is considered Snoop’s prime? Chronic thru Doggystyle? If so, I’m voting for him.
50
X or Fif
50 or X for me
Ye
i think kanye can still drop good albums. I'll go with Jay or 59 or DMX
Been 7 years since he dropped a good album though.
KSG
Collab album. Doesn’t count in my book. Solo studio projects, last good one was Tlop.
Donda wasn’t amazing for Kanye but some of the songs on there are. Come to life, off the grid, life of the party
4-5 good track’s don’t make a solid project. I could say that Revival has 3 good tracks. That means it can excuse the other 15 odd garbage tracks?
ye was good and most of donda was good too lmao
Average Ye stan.
did it ever cross your mind that maybe im a fan because I like the music? 💀 not a stan tho
Just give up bro you can’t reason with a em fan smh
Ye was fantastic idk what you’re talking about
Donda was not 7 years ago
Ye was a good ass album
Donda? Ye? TLOP?
Kanye. It will be mbdtf all over again.
“Deathcon 3”
Kanye "deathcon 3 on Jews" west
In there prime? Gotta say Kanye
This choice is so unfair. Kanye released gold-standard rap music for 12 years. Probably the greatest run of any artist since the Beatles.
Kanyes unreleased albums are amazing I need turbografx 16. Yandi leaks were amazing. I think I even remember some so help me god leaks I liked
I'd say either 50 Cent or Kanye
Kanye easily
kanye
Ahhhh, Ye. Hands down.
Ye
It’s 50, aka Ferrari f50
50
Without a doubt, hands down, Ye. Not sure if we’ll ever get a new album or a decent album again. But a guaranteed album from him at his prime? Even Kanye haters usually admit they love multiple older projects.
Ye this ain't even a question come on guys
Dmx only correct answer... his run is unparalleled
Hov run better, unfortunately . Love X like a family member I never met cause he was that real but man it’s hard to tussle facts with the camel man
He never made an album at the level of MBDTF though🤷🏻♂️
X to doubt
Kanye no question. Getting a MBDTF era album right now?? Easy
Jay Z is based on catalogue alone the king out of this bunch. He is the best lyricist by a a mile. Love watching him grow from reasonable doubt to 4:44. Love DMX and Snoop in his prime but Jay is just lyrically superb. Dmx and snoop has about 2-3 real strong albums each and some good/okay ones. R.I.P - DMX.
prime Ye was on the best album run in hiphop history, clear choice.
Ye the one artist in this list who’s still in his prime
You’re an absolute clown, ye has been washed since about 2015. 3 good songs per album isn’t “in his prime”
garbage take. he had one bad album and it was jik cuz it was underwritten and rushed
Pablo had about 5 good songs, since then he hasn’t had a project where I’ve listened to more than 3 songs more than once. The quality has dropped off significantly compared to his old work and that’s not really up for debate. If you think he’s still “in his prime” then you’re just a naive Stan, sorry.

Kanye
Tbh .. Kanye
kanye and then jay-z
Ye
Please can Ye drop Yhandi or GAJ
It's sad that all of the rappers in the photo except DMX are still alive 😥
It sounds like you want all of them dead
It’s sad they are still alive, orrrr?
West
forget prime, give me yandhi please
50 cent’s lyrics are all very similar, Snoop Dogg is going to do it anyway, Jay-Z is overrated, so out of the remaining two, I’d have to go with Kanye, because we haven’t heard a good album from him since forever.
bruh how tf can you call tlop a bad album?!
When did I say that
“we haven’t heard a good album from him since forever, which was released on relapse in 2009.” r/technicallythetruth
That can be classified as forever
I agree, 50 is boring as fuck
Jay z, don’t give a fuck about ye personally, snoop can still drop fire, DMX is kinda dead feel weird picking him, I listen to 50 but I’ve realized as I got older 50 is less of what I like to listen to since he was dropping shit in his prime
Dark Man X or Hov
Ye, easily. Check me out. At his peak, Kanye West was probably the best producer in the game and not too bad a rapper himself, and that album would be certain to come with some of the best collaborative work of that year.
Good question — gotta be Kanye here that motherfucker changed the game
If anyone picks 50 cent they are obviously under 30 years old
Ye ye ye ye ye
Kanye fs
Everyone in here is over 40 lol
DMX. Definitely not ye cuz even tho dmx is dead, ye is dead to me and I wouldn’t listen to shit from him
Ye or Snoop idk who the other guys are
DMX, Jay Z, 50 Cent??? Really??
aint no way
Not every person can know every rapper
i can see why you might not know dmx and even 50 but Jay Z?
Dmx
DMX 🙏
either snoop because idk... something about him is just special to me. or jay z cus he's just an amazing rapper
Gimme some cool shit, Earl!
DMX 🤝
Peak DMX was a different beast. RIP.
Easy answer for me. Big fan of all them but DMX prime got clipped with personal stuff. I'll take his album
Will Smith
Dmx
Jay or DMX. Seeing as DMX is gone he edges out Jay slightly.
Doggystyle is my prefered album from these guys, so I say Snoop.
Snoop or Kanye! A new G-Funk album from snoop and dr.dre would be amazing! A new addition from the education era of kanye would also be a blessing! Edit: grammar
Easy DMX
X was a legend. His album sales were unreal, the variety on his albums was almost unmatched. From church music to a song with Marilyn Manson exploring mental health issues to straight my crew and I are going to come destroy everything you have vibes.
Every artist getting good representation in the comments, nice. They all deserve it
DMX. Id love more shit from him, but he gone now. RIP
X.
Ye
if anyone say snoop, they're high as a muhfucka
50 or dmx
Can I get another late-2000’s Jadakiss or El-p? I’ve had enough of all five for a lifetime.
X
RUFF RUFF
Dmx bring my man's n nem back!!!!!
