Hip hop artist of the decade???

[teecee]

Who is the artist of the decade?  Impact, originality, influence, sales, etc.   






Kanye West?

And guys, I'm not on Ye's dick or anything, but how can you go against this:

College Dropout
Late Registration
Graduation
808's and Heartbreaks
MBDTF

Not necessarily all classics above, but they are in the discussion- no other artist had 5 albums this decade that people are talking about

BE (Common)
The Fix (Scarface)
Blueprint 1 (Jigga)



He did some of the best work on the above three albums...wait a minute, should artist of the decade have been handed out last year???!!!

You can't count MBDTF as it's in a different decade. Plus 808's was trash. And you missed out Finding Forever.

btw the thread starter deserves a slap for mentioning Kanye

Kanye is good candidate for the last decade; has an amazing discography.

But, Eminem hands down. Some classics, fell off, but still making bumpable music, sold more than anybody (that has to factor in somewhat), brought millions of white kids into Hip Hop, beyond influencial.

It's not even debatable lol.

Don't give a shit about sales or bullshit like that but if we're talking quality music I'd say Tech N9ne, Ill BIll or Sean Price.

Really? 



I mean, who influenced hiphop as a whole more than Kanye?   Who played a large role in more arguable classics than him?


Eminem, based off sales, obviously could get it, but he wasn't exactly consistent.   


And on the underground tip, I'd go with Cunninglynguists if ya'll wanna take it there...

like invincible said, yeezys latest doesn't count

and 808's was on some homo shit

[Shallow]

It's easy to forget Em because of his recent years, but his 2000 to 2003 was so strong that it trumps everyone else. It's like how the Patriots are the best team of the decade, but if they didn't win 01 to 04 they'd be pushed aside for the Steelers.
