I’m sorry but have never liked Playboi Carti and I have never found his music to be “intriguing or unique” at all. I’m not some old head who hates him because he’s not lyrical or anything, I just truly do not see the appeal to his music.

The whole feature is only 15 seconds and it is literal gibberish with a very basic flow and a childish voice. Maybe I’m crazy but I just think he’s a terrible artist and amazes me that he has such a large fanbase
Eliminating 2017 is insane: Damn, 4:44, Flower boy, Big Fish Theory, Ctrl, Culture 1, Melodrama, Process, Freudian, More Life, HNDRXX, Laiala’s Wisdom, Lust for Life, Drunk, After Laughter etc. it’s up there near best for me.
and u ain't even get to without warning, war and leisure, all 3 saturations, beautiful thugger girls, future and carti's self titled tapes, LIR2, a crow looked at me etc. easy lock for t3 year of the 2010s
Also, for worst year in music, 2008 should have definitely been an option. I guess if you look at super niche stuff almost every year has the same level of quality... but MAN was the mainstream (especially for rap) insanely mid in 2008.
You guys come off as Eminem haters or something along those lines, having Wayne above him when it comes to who is the better rapper is crazy, I don't care if you like Wayne's music better, that's not the point, we talking from a technical point of view, there's no way Wayne is better, Eminem has some really intricate flows and shit like that, don't get me wrong, Wayne is great, but Em is better as a rapper, not talking about the whole package though.
Removing Black Thought is crazy dawg. Black Thought is better than Eminem as a straight lyricist and artist. EDIT: Shout out to Lu for removing the correct artists.
Na I'm sorry but Eminem is not worse, like I mean think about everything he has done for music as a whole and even songs like Godzilla and rap god really show his potential. I know this is a bad comparison but Black Thought doesn't even have 1 million monthly listeners when Eminem is hitting in the 70 millions. Also like some of his songs like stan and the lyrics in the song go unnoticed, while I get that Eminem is definitely not at his peak right now, overall his career has had a massive impact on rap. I just think that because his peak was around 15 years ago he is being forgotten but in my opinion he shouldn't be on the worst two rappers there🤷♂
@@lukestrydom5979 I get it, but Eminem falling out of his prime SO RAPIDLY is crazy. Also, the fact that it occurred BECAUSE he stopped following the wild slim shady character really shows that he is more of a one-note rapper. Black Thought on the other hand is just a crazy diverse rapper, and definitely a better lyricist than Em (If you've listened to both extensively, you'd know that). Not to mention Black thought is at least on the same level technically than Em. While he can't rap as fast as Em, Thought has absurd breathe control and rhyme schemes to the point where he at least matches him, and in my opinion, surpasses him. Finally, Black Thought is a better concept rapper. Eminem has shown glimpses of being an amazing concept rapper like Guilty Conscience and Stan, but Black Thought has one of the best concept albums OF ALL TIME in undun. So, while I respect your take, I really cannot keep Eminem in this lineup. And, honestly, I can argue that Eminem is better than Lil Wayne, so I'm perfectly fine with removing Ice Cube and Lil Wayne instead due to both of them also having short peaks and large fall-offs just like Eminem, but worse overall primes as artists (in my opinion).
@@peamut547 No I agree that makes sense, and I'm not going to act like I have listened to Black Thought a lot but I feel like if I did I would be able to agree. But also he didn't fall out of his prime as rapidly as you think because on the album Music to be Murdered by, one of his more recent ones, he still manages to get a song that hits 1 billion streams. Although since then he has not made any notable hits, but there still seems to be a fuck ton of people that listen to his older music because of the fact he has 70 million monthly listeners
Bruh there is no way in the first 1:30 you said Wayne is the second one out on lyricism. My god man. It’s Kanye and Cube. Wayne isn’t even a thought, and I’m not even the biggest Wayne fan
For dominating the 2020s i feel like yeat has a chance lu counted him out too fast. Personally i think carti will have a fall off bc he dont care abt his fans and he dosent drop. Yeat is evolving his style and constantly dropping better music and 2093 was his best album and i ahve that above most carti albums
@@EpicGamertje I think he is overrated ,I don't like the way his voice sound,he got good lyrics,he has some good songs ,it's just ,I don't play his music
Okay guys, lets be real, i love the podcast and agree on mostly everything. But removing the best 3 album run from a top artist list is completely NUTS. Lemme make my argument: Without Eminem, only 20% of current Hip Hop fans would exist worlwide. Without em we wouldn't have 50 Cent or almost all the hits in Europe.... therefore, pure artistry, he has to be up there. Black tought is a contested pick, but still guys like Jay Z and Black tought (even Wayne) are, in the eyes of europeans, asians and others nowhere near Eminem the GOAT. Stan me all you want, this guy needs to be up there. Stillll loooooove the podcast, keep going pleaseee
Exactly my reaction when they put him in the worst two, like Eminem clears black thought and then contests with ice cube, Lil Wayne and André 3000 (which in my opinion he clears).
yuno miles unironically probably the best in his division, I mean id take comedy over lil xan or tom mcdonald or pretty much anyone else show in that divison💀
People acting like they actually bump black thought on the regular, i get it, the guys insane on the mic but he just doesn't have the catalog to contest man. I swear ppl just pretend that their familiar bcuz every1 else says he's undisputedly good, ask some of these ppl to name 5 of his songs and they couldnt tell u
What point does this prove though? I’m confused. And is it a hot take to say The Roots and Thought’s solo stuff has been more consistent than Em’s catalogue?
The roots are one of my favorite hiphop acts of all time. How I Got Over is probably my favorite hiphop album of all time. Just because you don't listen to Black Thought regularly doesn't mean that others don't lol. Also, saying he doesn't have the catalog to contest is WILD. Illadelph Halflife, Things Fall Apart, Do You Want More, How I Got Over, Undun, Phrenology, etc. all classics.
@@yasssssok7319 Can't forget about Game Theory. Easily in my top 3 for The Roots. Not to mention the Streams of Thought series, Cheat Codes, and the latest collab with El Michels Affair. Bro is nuts and has only gotten better.
@@yasssssok7319 I'd say I get the same enjoyment out of both? They each make high quality records in unique ways. But idk, I've always felt people overhype artists through a combo of their highest highs and "cultural relevance" which is relative at the end of the day. Which I think is the case for Em.
W for most of these takes. Personally I would have to disagree with round 4, which could be either jid, baby keem, 21 savage or ice spice. I would also disagree with round 9, which I know one year is a lock to remove is 2017
@@projektyo.p.5311 Sure but Elvis had so much influence that it's impossible to predict what would music look like today if not for him. And not just rock and roll, many genres.
I agree that Elvis had a great influence on music, but no less than Eminem. Number of artists (including those outside Hip Hop) declare that they were inspired by him. And believe me, people in Europe (and around the world) had no idea what hip hop was before Eminem. Honestly, I wouldn't erase the careers of any of these greats, because I'm sure that without any of them, music today would look completely different.@@whispers9344
1 Cube and Ye. Ye has such an amazing discography, production - but I don't enjoy his presence on mic that much. Prime Cube was unstoppable but unfortunately he didn't got the longetivity and pursued the acting career more. But Raw Footage still pretty decent album. 2 NAV and Lil Pump 3 Ric Flair Drip, RNP and A Lot. I'm just stuck in the 90's and 00's I think. 4 JID, Playboi Carti and Yeat 5 Pusha T and Vince Staples will compliment their styles so well I think. I'm taking Doja Cat for her versatility, flow, hooks and the fact that she's from the west like Vince.
Uzi, YB, and Chief Keef as a group would go braaaazy. All of them have experience on slower sing-songy tracks and also quick-tempo stuff. I think a rotation of them would be very fun.
Instant click off the video when he went for EMINEM throwin out, Kanye Cube and Wayne was lower on lu's top 50 so wtf he saying he gotta stick with the list??
Yeah M&M tastes bad but Eminem as 52 year old longevity, super crazy lyricist with only capable doing those kinda rhymeschemes and doubles, wordplay insane, great consept for an album on TDOSS which was fkin self aware, u eminem haters are worse than stans, just bcuz you black people cant accept white dude doing it better than 99% of rappers aside from cole , kenny, jid, denzel and few others. And em killed JID on fuel
I respect your content guys and it’s always well produced, but how come you only ever talk about rap music and never any other genres? There’s sooo much good music out there that isn’t rap, and I feel like you guys would attract a wider variety of music fans to your page if you discussed them. Just my thoughts though! Keep up the good work 👏
They do listen to all other genres but rap is the most mainstream right now, and they prolly think that if they branch out, that will lose some fans and get less views on the non hip-hop videos
@@Roguekai1ytthey barely listen to other genres man. They were not at all familiar with the majority of new music last year that wasn’t hip hop They didn’t know the sufjan album, the Caroline album, the reverend Kristin hayter album, the model/actriz album, the lemon twigs album, the Lana album and the gecs album Anyone keeping up with modern music outside of hip hop would at least known of these albums.

Amy Winehouse gotta go. Y’all gotta pick a clear lane
The group between Lil Uzi Vert,Chief Keef and Kid Cudi would be heat
Also, for worst year in music, 2008 should have definitely been an option. I guess if you look at super niche stuff almost every year has the same level of quality... but MAN was the mainstream (especially for rap) insanely mid in 2008.
they tried to include all of the good years so it would be harder to choose
You must not know about Hollowmans Walk In Da Park
@@bretwojarski5842 Can you elaborate? I’m curious
Lu and I can never be acquaintances, leave alone mates!
That Eminem slander is so unreal lol. No wonder Eminem said they should stick to school shootings lmao
Lil xan and nav being absolute locks is such a W take
You guys come off as Eminem haters or something along those lines, having Wayne above him when it comes to who is the better rapper is crazy, I don't care if you like Wayne's music better, that's not the point, we talking from a technical point of view, there's no way Wayne is better, Eminem has some really intricate flows and shit like that, don't get me wrong, Wayne is great, but Em is better as a rapper, not talking about the whole package though.
Eminem used to be better than Lil Wayne, but just anymore. Em is still better than Kanye & Cube easily tho as a lyricist tho
Put 'Non-trap artist to make a trap album' as a category next time!
Removing Black Thought is crazy dawg. Black Thought is better than Eminem as a straight lyricist and artist.
EDIT: Shout out to Lu for removing the correct artists.
Na I'm sorry but Eminem is not worse, like I mean think about everything he has done for music as a whole and even songs like Godzilla and rap god really show his potential. I know this is a bad comparison but Black Thought doesn't even have 1 million monthly listeners when Eminem is hitting in the 70 millions. Also like some of his songs like stan and the lyrics in the song go unnoticed, while I get that Eminem is definitely not at his peak right now, overall his career has had a massive impact on rap. I just think that because his peak was around 15 years ago he is being forgotten but in my opinion he shouldn't be on the worst two rappers there🤷♂
@@lukestrydom5979 I get it, but Eminem falling out of his prime SO RAPIDLY is crazy. Also, the fact that it occurred BECAUSE he stopped following the wild slim shady character really shows that he is more of a one-note rapper.
Black Thought on the other hand is just a crazy diverse rapper, and definitely a better lyricist than Em (If you've listened to both extensively, you'd know that). Not to mention Black thought is at least on the same level technically than Em. While he can't rap as fast as Em, Thought has absurd breathe control and rhyme schemes to the point where he at least matches him, and in my opinion, surpasses him.
Finally, Black Thought is a better concept rapper. Eminem has shown glimpses of being an amazing concept rapper like Guilty Conscience and Stan, but Black Thought has one of the best concept albums OF ALL TIME in undun.
So, while I respect your take, I really cannot keep Eminem in this lineup. And, honestly, I can argue that Eminem is better than Lil Wayne, so I'm perfectly fine with removing Ice Cube and Lil Wayne instead due to both of them also having short peaks and large fall-offs just like Eminem, but worse overall primes as artists (in my opinion).
@@peamut547 No I agree that makes sense, and I'm not going to act like I have listened to Black Thought a lot but I feel like if I did I would be able to agree. But also he didn't fall out of his prime as rapidly as you think because on the album Music to be Murdered by, one of his more recent ones, he still manages to get a song that hits 1 billion streams. Although since then he has not made any notable hits, but there still seems to be a fuck ton of people that listen to his older music because of the fact he has 70 million monthly listeners
Yeah, Black Though is so much better that he didn't achieve even 2% of what Eminem has achieved.... don't make me laugh bro.
@@Maidenintime86😂 fax
Bruh there is no way in the first 1:30 you said Wayne is the second one out on lyricism. My god man. It’s Kanye and Cube. Wayne isn’t even a thought, and I’m not even the biggest Wayne fan
Kanye over em is crazy
IS Lil Pump BETTER THAN 6ix9ine THO?!?!?! 🤔🤨
No he is definitely not
They are crazy
For dominating the 2020s i feel like yeat has a chance lu counted him out too fast. Personally i think carti will have a fall off bc he dont care abt his fans and he dosent drop. Yeat is evolving his style and constantly dropping better music and 2093 was his best album and i ahve that above most carti albums
I thought both Ant & Lu woulda go with Ice Cube. I went with Wayne & Cube.
I went with Wayne and Kendrick
Wayne untouchable
@@travisj8110 Wayne has some bloat in his catalog.
@@logicaleyefx Why Kendrick?!
@@EpicGamertje I think he is overrated ,I don't like the way his voice sound,he got good lyrics,he has some good songs ,it's just ,I don't play his music
Such a W for keeping Freddie Gibbs
Wayne and cube are gone in that first one for me
If you think Kanye is a better rapper than Wayne or Ice Cube you know nothing about hip hop
@@rouge939 but in this video its overall artistry kanye has a better discography than both
@@kyubi_9405em has fallen off dramatically tho. You gotta knock him off because of that
@@Stinkfly300 em still has 3 top tier albums that I’m listening to but that completely valid
@@Stinkfly300 He's definitely fallen off but overall artistry should mean he isn't debatable in the worst 2 in my opinion
Putting Tom Macdonald above Kanye West was an interesting decision at the end, but this vid was lit🔥
Pusha T, Chief Keef, and Ski Mask. Ski mask hasn’t done much recently but he has so much potential and I think the 3 could make a super unique album
Saying Atrocity Exhibition is the worst out of that bunch of albums is an atrocity in itself
Facts, it was the best album on there besides OKC and TPAB
Okay guys, lets be real, i love the podcast and agree on mostly everything. But removing the best 3 album run from a top artist list is completely NUTS. Lemme make my argument: Without Eminem, only 20% of current Hip Hop fans would exist worlwide. Without em we wouldn't have 50 Cent or almost all the hits in Europe.... therefore, pure artistry, he has to be up there. Black tought is a contested pick, but still guys like Jay Z and Black tought (even Wayne) are, in the eyes of europeans, asians and others nowhere near Eminem the GOAT. Stan me all you want, this guy needs to be up there. Stillll loooooove the podcast, keep going pleaseee
Exactly my reaction when they put him in the worst two, like Eminem clears black thought and then contests with ice cube, Lil Wayne and André 3000 (which in my opinion he clears).
yikes lol
Bro just argued Eminem for his influence and then said for pure artistry 💀
@yasssssok7319 bro u r s certified hater I have seen u in every comment hating at this point. I don't wanna start any unnecessary argument but, yikes
I will forever be surprised with how much two love Get Rich or Die trying by 50 Cent
why would you be surprised? its a near perfect album
Yeah, it's not a great album. It was fun at the time, but you can tell they didn't grow up with it and just look back at it with rose-colored glasses.
yuno miles unironically probably the best in his division, I mean id take comedy over lil xan or tom mcdonald or pretty much anyone else show in that divison💀
The way I whipped it out-
People acting like they actually bump black thought on the regular, i get it, the guys insane on the mic but he just doesn't have the catalog to contest man. I swear ppl just pretend that their familiar bcuz every1 else says he's undisputedly good, ask some of these ppl to name 5 of his songs and they couldnt tell u
What point does this prove though? I’m confused.
And is it a hot take to say The Roots and Thought’s solo stuff has been more consistent than Em’s catalogue?
The roots are one of my favorite hiphop acts of all time. How I Got Over is probably my favorite hiphop album of all time. Just because you don't listen to Black Thought regularly doesn't mean that others don't lol.
Also, saying he doesn't have the catalog to contest is WILD. Illadelph Halflife, Things Fall Apart, Do You Want More, How I Got Over, Undun, Phrenology, etc. all classics.
@@yasssssok7319 Can't forget about Game Theory. Easily in my top 3 for The Roots. Not to mention the Streams of Thought series, Cheat Codes, and the latest collab with El Michels Affair. Bro is nuts and has only gotten better.
@@BigLBadman Yeah I get so much more enjoyment from a Roots record than an Eminem record.
@@yasssssok7319 I'd say I get the same enjoyment out of both? They each make high quality records in unique ways. But idk, I've always felt people overhype artists through a combo of their highest highs and "cultural relevance" which is relative at the end of the day. Which I think is the case for Em.
Yuno Miles should be on the first graphic
My takes
Round 1: Black Thought & Ice Cube
Round 2: NAV & Lil Pump
Round 3: 93 Til' Infinity / Hell On Earth / Hail Mary
Round 4: Ice Spice, Playboi Carti & Ken Carson
Round 5: Skepta, Pusha T & Vince Staples
Round 6: Frank Ocean & Rihanna
Round 7: Atrocity Exhibition & It Was Written
Round 8: Elvis Presley & Rakim
Round 9: 1996 & 1999
Round 10: Tory Lanez (Litty) & Wiz Khalifa (Breath Control)
W for most of these takes. Personally I would have to disagree with round 4, which could be either jid, baby keem, 21 savage or ice spice. I would also disagree with round 9, which I know one year is a lock to remove is 2017
Someone who agrees jay should stay he had one of the best verses on donda
Why did they do NAV like that in round 2 😭
Eminem over Elvis Presley has to be the worst music take of the year already and we're in January
lol exactly what i thought
Without Eminem HipHop would have maybe 30% of fans it has today...
@@projektyo.p.5311 Sure but Elvis had so much influence that it's impossible to predict what would music look like today if not for him. And not just rock and roll, many genres.
True, but they sold mainly in the US. Before Eminem people in Europe and the rest of the world had no idea what Hip Hop was@@secondary479
I agree that Elvis had a great influence on music, but no less than Eminem.
Number of artists (including those outside Hip Hop) declare that they were inspired by him. And believe me, people in Europe (and around the world) had no idea what hip hop was before Eminem.
Honestly, I wouldn't erase the careers of any of these greats, because I'm sure that without any of them, music today would look completely different.@@whispers9344
That Wayne take at the beginning is wild
hating on em is crazy
bro glazing em so hard he had to comment about it twice
Eminem...you fucking smoking rock dude
1 Cube and Ye. Ye has such an amazing discography, production - but I don't enjoy his presence on mic that much. Prime Cube was unstoppable but unfortunately he didn't got the longetivity and pursued the acting career more. But Raw Footage still pretty decent album.
2 NAV and Lil Pump
3 Ric Flair Drip, RNP and A Lot. I'm just stuck in the 90's and 00's I think.
4 JID, Playboi Carti and Yeat
5 Pusha T and Vince Staples will compliment their styles so well I think. I'm taking Doja Cat for her versatility, flow, hooks and the fact that she's from the west like Vince.
can't believe nicki on monster and kendrick on nosetalgia weren't on the pick 2 verses to remove
Uzi, YB, and Chief Keef as a group would go braaaazy. All of them have experience on slower sing-songy tracks and also quick-tempo stuff. I think a rotation of them would be very fun.
is this satire?
@@papapalpywhy would this be satire? he spitting facts
replace YB with Rocky and im with you 🙏
@@phenomenalprofile7189cap replace chief w Rocky
Skepta pushaT and keef would do better
Eminem take at the beginning is crazy😂
Instant click off the video when he went for EMINEM throwin out, Kanye Cube and Wayne was lower on lu's top 50 so wtf he saying he gotta stick with the list??
eminem shouldve been kicked out
You should shut up
It was based on artistry. I honestly don’t see the m&m appeal.
Yeah M&M tastes bad but Eminem as 52 year old longevity, super crazy lyricist with only capable doing those kinda rhymeschemes and doubles, wordplay insane, great consept for an album on TDOSS which was fkin self aware, u eminem haters are worse than stans, just bcuz you black people cant accept white dude doing it better than 99% of rappers aside from cole , kenny, jid, denzel and few others. And em killed JID on fuel
The Eminem disrespect on this channel is so wild.
Black thought over Eminem is such a npc take overall artistry is not even comparable
Have you guys heard of non phixion or Jedi mind tricks there pretty underground just an idea for 2 new rappers you can do a video on
I respect your content guys and it’s always well produced, but how come you only ever talk about rap music and never any other genres? There’s sooo much good music out there that isn’t rap, and I feel like you guys would attract a wider variety of music fans to your page if you discussed them.
Just my thoughts though! Keep up the good work 👏
They do listen to all other genres but rap is the most mainstream right now, and they prolly think that if they branch out, that will lose some fans and get less views on the non hip-hop videos
yeah, like Lahai's their AOTY for 2023 all genres@@Roguekai1yt
@@Roguekai1ytthey barely listen to other genres man. They were not at all familiar with the majority of new music last year that wasn’t hip hop
They didn’t know the sufjan album, the Caroline album, the reverend Kristin hayter album, the model/actriz album, the lemon twigs album, the Lana album and the gecs album
Anyone keeping up with modern music outside of hip hop would at least known of these albums. They are the biggest on aoty, rym and constantly spoken about in all music circles.
I’m sure they have albums they like that aren’t rap, but they absolutely do not keep up with new music and I have no idea why, all of those albums last year were brilliant.
