The Most Streamed Hip Hop Artists of All Time

Hip hop started small, but now it runs the world – clothes, movies, everything. We’ve seen so many dope MCs change the game, pushin’ boundaries with their lyrics, beats, and style. Some cats stay legendary for decades.

Think about Kanye and his crazy creativity, Queen Latifah rippin’ it for female MCs, or Ice Cube with raw gangsta rap in the ’90s. Then you got Missy Elliott’s wild videos and Jay-Z hustlin’ up to billionaire status. Kendrick’s new-school fire, Pac’s spirit, Pharrell’s unique style, Rakim droppin’ knowledge, Biggie with those stories… Legends, all of ’em. The overlap between rap and hip hop is significant, see also most streamed rappers of all time.
