iLLest RAPPER under 30...
As you all know, there are a new breed of rap artists dominating the game right now. Rappers who are more influenced by Jay-Z, Nas, and 2 Pac than Run DMC, Big Daddy Kane, and Rakim. Out of all these artists, who do you think has the most potential to have a lucrative and long-lasting career, where 10 to 15 years from now, they will still be hot...much like the rap artists mentioned above.
IMO, if Lil' Wayne doesn't burn himself out, I can see him having a very lucrative career because he has a drive and a hunger you don't see very often. I also can see Lupe Fiasco still doing his thing a decade from now, if he cheers up and stops talking about quitting the rap game...his style is extremely original and there's noone out there quite like him.
weasel has already been around for over 10 years so I don't even really count him even tho he well under 30. of this new crop of niccas maybe T.I. or someone like that.
