Let’s discuss….who has made the most with the least in the culture?

[Elzo69Renaissance]

I was just thinking how Chance Da Rapper has been able to flip one mixtape and one hit single into a decade long career, 3 Grammys, a condo downtown and a mansion in the burbs


I’m wondering in y’all’s opinion who has been able to make the most with the least amount of work in our culture

French Montana

French Montana

Nah French got hits

Nah French got hits

I didn’t know the criteria was only 1 hit. I assumed you meant what artist in general benefitted while doing minimal. French has hits but he is not that good at all. I’m surprised he’s still around. I figured he’d be Vado status by now.

This is difficult to answer…can Macklemore even be considered apart of our “culture”? His music despite being rap has never been considered to be apart of our urban network

I’d say French is still a good candidate….he only has one identifiable “classic” with Swae Lee

If y’all say Macklemore…..I’d say Vanilla Ice or even Will Smith

No rapper has been such a huge success in entertainment without really having to prove himself as an MC than Will Smith

 

[dodge]

Ahhhh shit……Nick Cannon came to mind

What do you mean by prove himself for Will Smith

 

[dodge]

What I mean is Will Smith is more known for his success as an actor than a rapper. Especially when his biggest hits had ghostwriters

People like Jay-Z, Nas, Kanye, Eminem, Kendrick etc….is more known for their music no matter what

Bruh, Will made his name in rap before the acting. The acting just added to his resume. Summertime might be more iconic of a song than anyone you named has.

Also can't complain about Will having ghostwriters, then use Kanye..... :word?:

Joe Budden

Nah ^^^^^

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Nah ^^^^^

How so?

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Pump it Up really took him far lol

 

[dodge]

He’s still respected in the underground for his mixtapes and I never saw Joe achieving a lot of mainstream success like a Grammy or anything

Most he ever achieved was that BET award and a successful podcast. But if that’s considered “a lot” then maybe you’re right @Sony Montana

Joe Budden is at the top of the culture though with multiple shows, more money than other rappers, and this is from sitting on a couch

Idk man
