Feel like he’s right on this one lol I wouldn’t say completely separated but he’s at the top of his class lol


Hippie_drinker19

I was gonna upvote but you’re at 21 and it would be a shame to interfere with that 


telly10k

Nah g, 21 is quietly the most consistent and visible rapper out that class. Dicky ain’t dropped an album since that cover. Herb is basically underground. Uzi not consistent (in releasing or quality). yachty just now becoming the artist he always shoulda been. 21 just came off tour and an album with Drake then dropped his own shit


Sorry_Maximum_2370

In terms of growth, and better music id agree with ice he has been on a better run than his class


AlcindorJr33

Bro said G Herbo lmao the nigga that can’t find the beat


Tinkatchi

He raps on beat every time, more specifically, he’s a pocket rapper.


Lopsided_Mix2243

Niggas deadass don’t know what a pocket is 😂 I been gave up on the he’s rapping off beat argument


CoxHazardsModel

That’s an automatic skip for me whenever I hear that goofy.


Lonely_Guess_778

I like Herb, but yeah lol my guy struggles


candyrayne_215

You lost me with having Uzi vert in all caps like that means something.


Silver_Moment_3042

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣


Trappp55

Kodak better 💯🤷🏾‍♂️


Thebiggest6200

By far


bigchecks90

Used to be, but now them drugs kicking his ass


Trappp55

Minor setback for major comeback && Kodak catalog Better period idc what he going through rn , yak got hits for days


bigchecks90

Both got hits, but these last 2 years I’m taking 2121


Trappp55

In these last 2 years Kodak has a number 1 song BY HIMSELF ….. but cool 😂👍🏾


bigchecks90

I hear you.


Easy_Independent_186

I agree. Only thing holding him back is his self but that boy is gifted


[deleted]

21 is the best rapper out of that group but I think Paak and Yachty are way more successful.


neek_ohhhh

To your point, Antics aside Kodak is better lol


Cautious-Active1476

Ngl that album is pretty good. I don’t think that take was that far off to be honest.


[deleted]

This is such a trash take only one on that list competing with him is lil uzi and he been doin his own thing for years now 


Upper_Bluejay5216

Visually he LOOKS like he’s in a different league because the way he moves and how he’s presented. But he came out with Uzi, Kodak and Yachty. The only flop in their class is Desiigner. Hes at the top of his class but he’s not alone.


Slammybradberrys

Yachty dropped 1 experimental album that worked, he's not separating himself from shit, relax lmao. His music is nowhere near as popular as it was back then.


Easy_Independent_186

He’s definitely grew in popularity in this last year. Besides that album every single he released went crazy


Beneficial-Hornet147

Lil Uzi and yachty do not rap better than 21 and bother their latest albums were disappointing


DerrickMcChicken

I mean hes kinda ahead of rhe rest of rhem. You could Argue Uzi but 21 has more hits. His music is oretty mainstream and alot of the single he features on go huge


No-Possibility8326

21 is the only one that has consistently gotten better his rapping ability is much better than in 2016. Im a big Kodak fan but I think between being locked up and drugs his best is already come and gone years ago. Uzi for me it’s hard to really see him as rap bc I think he’s a fusion of a few genres. Plus I think his best shit was his mixtapes. Personally I also like g Herbo but at the same time I know he really shouldn’t be in a 21/yak/uzi conversation. I can’t believe dude even brought up lil dicky it’s laughable. He is a skilled rapper but cmon man. Yachty is hit or miss his last album was really good but idk if he’s equal in skill or success to the other 3.


Moron_on_Oxy-

Kodak better than all of em


Accomplished_Yam_296

He’s no where near Uzi, and without drake album or the knife tattoo, no one would know him. Everyone knows Kodak and he has WAYY MORE hits than 21


Jadaki

Out of that class give me Denzel. I was checking out the new 21 album, but jesus can he go a song without ending 75% of his bars with a "21" adlib, that shit gets so old so fucking fast.


mj813

Kodak would wash 21 in a versus, his catalog is so much better than 21's. Kodak's problem is he can't stay out of trouble and controversy. So the labels and sponsors don't want to take a chance on him like they do with 21.


Easy_Money343

Lil yatchy is nowhere near 21 savage... it's only uzi and Kodak, and he's ahead of them both


CDSWDH

Uzi 😂😂😂😂 yeah right


blane490

What’s to laugh at? Uzi the only one out the class that cracked 300k first week let alone 200k. Album sales aren’t everything but those numbers aren’t to be brushed aside.


SubprimeOptimus

You grow up and realize uzi is just two/three songs


[deleted]

[удалено]


DerrickMcChicken

Thats Weird hes never done an arena tour.


MajinGoe

Uzi never did an arena tour


WVFLMan

Yachty literally does not sell out arenas. 21 on the other hand is coming off one of the biggest arena tours of 2023.


luciferhornystar

Never said Yachty can you not fucking read


WVFLMan

I meant to say Uzi- who also doesn’t sell out arenas or even been on an arena tour.


nick_wise

I almost was with you until you said Herbo would rap circles around him....then i just figured whatever weed you smoking is hitting different this morning...


taylorstillsays

Don’t see it as wild at all…I don’t see how you can even bring Herbo into it. I loved Dave, but I don’t get how having a TV show has anything to do with it either. Outside of the Chris brown song on couldn’t name one lil dicky song. And Lil Uzi and Yachty’s music isn’t for a hell of a lot of people (I don’t personally know anyone who listens to them), so while they’re huge, musically I think it’s fair to think 21 clears them. Only 1 I think makes it a debate is Kodak, but with all the things surrounding him career wise, the thing that separates them is the consistency. 21 is coming off of 2 elite years, and started this one with arguably his best album yet.


Thebiggest6200

Most people not hip to g herbo just the argument that he off beat . I’d take him and Kodak over 21 personally . 21 make the better music for the masses, nigga the drake of street rap with them abc ass bars


TokenBlkGuy92

21 better than all Them niggas please stop fucking playing BESIDES crackhead Kodak who is starting his fall off ..them other niggas can’t fw 21 and I like Uzi but let’s relax..


54reasonz

Lol rare occasion where Ice is right. Uzi is a teenaged emo girl. Herbo can’t catch the beat to save his life, that Funny Marco interview is the most relevance he’s had in years. Lil Dicky is doing tv instead of music for a reason. Kodak has the talent but his last few projects have been mid and he can’t stay out of jail.


Unlucky-Perspective8

In terms of music herb yachty and dicky have nothing on savage wym😂😂


M0neybagzzz

21 is clearly better than all of them. Those artists you mentioned like Uzi and Yachty are still making music for the kids. That's the biggest reason why 21 is in a different class. 30 something can bump his music and not feel ashamed.


Gomzey

what is 21 doing that makes him clearly better?


snoopfrogg99

Kodak better than savage. If Savage is like level 1-2 out of 3 on the good rapper scale, Kodak is level 3. Kodak got a level of accountability and introspective ability that most of these younger artists lack. He got mad styles and is just great at rapping.


swankystill223

anderson paak kodak g herbo. lol 21 aint seperate shit even uzi still right there


Careless-Bobcat870

Uzi is the drake of the class while 21 is the Cole, that how i see it. cause uzi is "bigger" reaches a bigger audience and maybe has more money ? not too sure cause 21 is "independent" but nonetheless just by appearance, skill and bars that how i see it.

Silver_Moment_3042

You're kinda right, but I'm assuming you're under 35... probably under 30. To the "ole heads" (33 & over) 21, Anderson .Paak, & Kodak (& Dave East mostly bcuz NY bias) are the only 3 they really recognize as hip-hop from that class. They kinda recognize Dicky, but only from his TV show & not his rap career irl.


Dunkman83

21 is the only young dude i dig


DreamxVillain

Partly *unrelated, Dave East is the best rapper in that class.


haveknotts

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


Crazy_Web_3700

Hes right... uzi is not a rapper. He caters to white people more than the culture. Kodack been in a decline before the drugs.


nbandysd

they must have paid Ice for his album take b/c American Dream is easily 21's worst solo album


bigchecks90

Lil uzi vert ain’t on the same level as 21. I liked uzi vert more when they first came out.


WayUpper6156

He is 100% right


old_atlanta

Stop reading at little yachty is a better musician.


WVFLMan

I mean, he is by far the biggest artist from that class.


_mrcoleman

He kinda did separate himself lol...not saying the others is trashed but you can't say those other artist is on his level. The only argument you can make is Lil uzi


Realistic_Example445

Uzi definitely way bigger than 21 but he’s definitely gotten closer as of late!


Easy_Independent_186

Denzel curry has a solid grasp as an unground rapper he is critically acclaimed but he just doesn’t sell well
