For the past few years, Lil Wayne has been the biggest draw on the road among rappers, putting together eclectic packages that appeal to the full spectrum of his fan base. Coming in second on our live tally, Jay-Z offers, in essence, the other model of hip-hop touring success: rapper as self-assured Chairman of the Board Frank Sinatra allusion fully intended.
A decade and a half into his career, Jigga has an enviable catalog of rap classics worthy of a two-hour showcase. And while his shows regularly draw impressive support acts such as Mary J. And the forthcoming head-to-head tour by Jay-Z and Kanye West following the release of their joint album Watch the Throne promises to be a blockbuster. Nicki Minaj has just started headlining gigs on her own, but as an opener for Britney Spears and Lil Wayne she has played for thousands of people.
Rookies like Minaj and Drake have made lots of new friends on the road as openers, setting themselves up to headline their own tours. And for a public figure and a musician, it must be said his following is strong but not especially remarkable — Gaga and Justin Bieber passed 10 million followers several months ago, and Em is also soundly beaten by such pop starlets as Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Shakira. Perhaps verbally acute rappers are too hemmed in by the limits of a character tweet — a length better suited for the latest thoughts by pop acts servicing their armies of young fans.
To become a competitive tweeter, it helps to have a well-defined, larger-than-life persona: Diddy and Snoop, two veteran rappers who have built reputations far beyond their status as MCs, have the third- and fourth-highest numbers of Twitter followers, respectively.
The act perhaps best known for spewing pithy thoughts is world-class tweeter Kanye West, who ranks fifth among rappers in Twitter followers eighth overall in our Social tally. In the history of hip-hop, only West has produced a body of work at this level of all-killer-no-filler acclamation. Public Enemy followed their years of awesomeness with several late-career duds; the Notorious B. Toward the bottom of this tally, Fabolous has long been more popular on the radio than with critics, while the more pop-leaning rappers, such as B.
B and Pitbull, also receive little love. Somewhat more surprising is the placement for Snoop Dogg, who falls third from the bottom. In fact, Jigga has collected a statuette at almost all of the shows we tracked. No act has been more nominated by the Grammys than Jay-Z since , but Eminem came close, with 13 nods, many in higher-profile categories like Album and Song of the Year — categories that eluded Jigga.
At the two BET awards shows, Jay has the most wins but not the most nominations; Drake, with 26, and Lil Wayne, with 25, each saw their names listed more times collectively. Of the smaller awards-givers, the Billboard Awards provide the biggest boost to a single act: 15 wins for Eminem, a sweep fueled by the chart dominance of his album and singles.
With his dominant album sales, YouTube views and social-media scores, Eminem takes the title as the current King of Hip-Hop. Drake In Concert on April 5th, His regular appearance in our runner-up slot — he made Number Two in albums, songs, the online rankings and awards — made him the runner-up overall, and his staggering live grosses almost put him over. In the year to come, Drake is surely the performer to watch.
But so are our fourth- and fifth-ranked contenders, who, in a Voltron-like act of power consolidation, may be about to lay waste to our top three.
