Charlamagne Tha God Declares Future as the Most Influential Rapper of the Last Decade
Charlamagne Tha God has declared Future as the most influential rapper of the last decade, sparking a debate in the hip hop community. The radio personality praised Future’s impact on culture and music since his rise in the early 2010s, stating that he has influenced a generation of artists who strive to emulate his style.
Despite the ongoing rivalry between Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and J. Cole, Charlamagne argued that Future deserves a spot among the top three rappers of the decade. He highlighted Future’s chart-topping success with hits like “Like That” and his joint album with Metro Boomin, solidifying his influence in the industry.
While acknowledging J. Cole’s lyrical prowess, Charlamagne placed Future above him in terms of influence and impact. Future himself has claimed a top spot in the rap game, boldly declaring himself as the number one rapper in a social media post.
Other hip hop figures like T.I. and Lil Wayne have also recognized Future’s contributions to the genre, with T.I. placing him on the Mount Rushmore of trap music and Lil Wayne hailing his mixtape “56 Nights” as the greatest of all time.
As Future continues to dominate the charts and collaborate with top producers like Metro Boomin, his legacy in hip hop seems secure. Fans can expect more music from the prolific artist as he gears up to release his second album of the year, further solidifying his status as a rap icon.
