lil nas x is a mainstream rapperhttps://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/03de4ff1.jpg
you can't put him in the same sentence as a backpack rapper like tyler lol
VD and Scotty managed to out shitpost TCIdk how they manage to shitpost constantly and consistently for years
Impressive
Tyler the Creator is as mainsteam as it gets lol.
None of this is in my lane, but yeah pretty much. I couldn't name you 48 other pop stars or 49 other bands so point is kinda moot. I assume Survivor is indeed considered one of the best reality television shows so uhh... Yeah.Then assume I'm fucking talking about something you are familiar with.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c0dede70.jpgwow this is the first ive heard of unknown niche artist Snoop Dog because he only has 28 million listeners
the fact he only has 28m goes to show he's not relevant anymoreStill more than Lil Nas X bud
snoop's time was 90s to 2000s, before spotify
the fact he only has 28m goes to show he's not relevant anymoreSo Lil Nas X is relevant and mainstream, but one person with more streams than him is some obscure indie act and another is an outdated legacy act? What?

I only started shit posting when I realized I was arguing with people who werent qualified to have this conversation on the first place.
ive given anyone who gave an intelligent response a legit answer
More like you realized your takes were awful and are trying to save face
drake riding wayne's coattails definitely helped imo.Remember drake and futures mixtape that was literally called what a time to be alive
you guys remember mixtape wayne? what a time to be alive.
less than 50m streams isn't as mainstream as it gets lol

Then assume I'm fucking talking about something you are familiar with.Call of Duty has/had the FPS world in a chokehold. I'm sure many people have the franchise in their greatest games of all time. Same goes for Madden although obviously there's a bit of a monopoly there. Macarena was one of the top dance records of the 90s.
If you ask people to name the best X, Y, or Z, very few people are going to list the factually best selling whatever and call it a day. Very few people are going to have 2010s Call of Dutys and Maddens on their best video games of all time lists. No one is going to name the Macarena as one of the clear best 90s songs. "But it's popular so it has to be good!" Nope.
So Imagine Dragons is among the 50 best rock bands of all time then
So Imagine Dragons is among the 50 best rock bands of all time thenI have no idea. Don't listen to rock. But I wouldn't mind you pointing out how you got that from what I said.
Of course most popular doesn't translate to greatest. Acting as if popularity = bad is ridiculous thoughOf course. The Beatles were great. Michael Jackson was great. The Weeknd is pretty great.
You use a different version of mainstream then. You don't just suddenly not become mainstream because you're not AS popular now.
Third Eye Blind 5 million streams. Mainstream af.
Hell Eminem has 66 million so he's barely making the cut.
Mac Miller....24 million.
Eminem's music widely agreed to be trash since Revival in 2017 lol. MMLP2 in 2013 is the last time he was really relevant. He has 66m monthly streams on Spotify so he hasn't completely fallen off, but he's still a legacy act as those streams mainly come from his older material.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/f464982e.jpg
Drake is the most mainstream rapper of all. He's had such a prolific career and he still makes popular music.
Post Malone is probably the second most mainstream hip hop artist after Drake .
I would have considered Kanye to still be mainstream now but he tarnished his image with his antics. He still gets a lot of streams on Spotify, over 70m, but streaming isn't the end-all, be-all metric here.
I guess 21 Savage is someone I'd consider mainstream. 56m streams on Spotify is a fair bit more than Tyler's measly 30m. And he does have several hit singles.

There is no way drake isnt a top 20 rapper or all time, like no question.Nah. He ain't even a rapper, he's a pop artist.
And for the most part, Drake ain't rapping about s***. Even with the Meek Mill s***, he didn't win because he was a better rapper, but because he had the bigger hit.I'm glad you said that since people are lately starting to question if Drake actually won that or if we were bamboozled with how catchy it was.
And you're further proving that you can't read. Bolded:You go entirely by streaming numbers until it doesnt suit your argument lmao shut the fuck up
You go entirely by streaming numbers
From the start I mentioned other factors like hit singles and album sales. You just suck at reading comprehension and strawman to hide it.Okay so Tyler the creator surely is mainstream with his 2 number one albums, one #2 album and a number 13 single
Okay so Tyler the creator surely is mainstream with his 2 number one albums, one #2 album and a number 13 single
Strange that you continue to look at his listeners as the reason hes not mainstream while propping up other artists based entirely on their numbers
again shut the fuck up lmao
Okay so Tyler the creator surely is mainstream with his 2 number one albums, one #2 album and a number 13 single
bro really said "number 13 single" like that means anything lolHis lowest debuting album debuted at #5 in 2011. You claimed he disappeared after 2012 and then shifted that to 2015 despite him gaining a massive amount of mainstream popularity since then. You tried to name Lil Nas X as a more mainstream rapper. You dont know what youre talking about.
he has only three top 40 hits and the highest only hit 13, "mainstream as it gets" my ass. dude's a triple hit wonder, wow so amazing, cap
a truly mainstream, popular artist that has been in the game for years would have more than ten top 10 hits
His lowest debuting album debuted at #5 in 2011.
You claimed he disappeared after 2012
and then shifted that to 2015 despite him gaining a massive amount of mainstream popularity since then.
