Drake Named Rapper With Most Social Media Power

    Although Canadian singer/rapper Drake’s name was noticeably absent from any chatter made in regards to the plethora of rap releases made over the last few weeks, Drake has still managed to secure the title of rapper with the biggest social media presence as part of an analysis made on behalf of Networked Insights.

    The Young Money artist beat out the likes of Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and other notable emcee’s to attain the number one spot on the list thanks to the number of social conversations (Twitter, Facebook, blogs) made in regards to Drizzy over the span of one year.

    USA Today reports that Drake sparked a total of 46,212,641 social conversations while Kanye West, the rapper who ranked second on the list, only managed 25,418,362 social media-led conversations.

    The release of both Yeezus and Magna Carta Holy Grail heavily boosted social conversations for both Kanye and Jay-Z with each rapper’s album responsible for approximately five million conversations.

    The full list of rappers, as well as the number of social conversations they generated, can be found below.

    1. I told you Drake is running the game. He kept it alive where other artists like J Cole and Jay Z were bringing it down.

    2. I remember seeing a report once that Chamillionaire had the second highest fan interaction of all celebrities on social media (behind bieber). . . he didn’t have the biggest fan #, but out of his fans, they were most likely to respond/interact with his content posted

    3. how the fuck does this faggot have the most followers??? eminem is the most like celebrity on all of facebook and tupac is second I believe. Sure he ahs some talent, but how this pretty boy is so popular is way beyond me

      1. Drake is winning the game. Eminem is pop and has allientated customers with Recovery. So did Kayne West and Gay Z.

    4. This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my life. Forget the fact he is a big headed, overrated, lame as fuck nerd and his music sucks. At least he’s got twitter followers. Get off these pop faggots dicks and listen to some real music. This is just more proof that only 14 year olds and adults that don’t mature past 14 listen to him.

    5. in other words drake has the most teenage girl fans listening to his music and liking him on facebook

      also how the fuck is rick ross and especially 2 chainz bum asses on this list? where em and godfather 50? what about flo-rida i thought he was bigger than 0 chainz

      1. Both of those niggas runnin’ from guns. Chainz lied about his shit and Ross rapin’ bitches on songs and gettin’ dropped from shoe deals…that’s the only way they’re staying hot in social media.

    6. If Jay-z can rap about the NYC, WHY CANT i TALK ABOUT THE SHIT I SEE, WITHOUT ALICIA KEYS WITHOUT GOIN RNB

      THE WESTCOAT HE LAST REAL HIPHP LEFT

    7. I’m going to predict that most of this faggot community talks shit about Drake but follows him on twitter and openly bumps his music. Fake ass faggots.

      1. we all fake ass faggots but the original poster is the one and only real ass faggot, we’ll never be a real ass fag like him

    8. Any music associated with this new power?????? No…..Im out, but I took time to post and add to his power…..hahahahahahaha

    9. Another accomplishment for drake to add

      1)Drake has the most number 1 hits at the age of 26
      2) No other artist from the new wave of rappers goes double platinum like drake does
      3) Drake is breaking a lot of records and he hasn’t even reached 30 yet
      4) Drake is the face of rap everyone listens to rap for drake
      5)Drake is the only 1 capable to go platinum first weak these days and drake will go down as the greatest of all time when its all said and done
      6)Drakes tours are the highest selling out of all rappers drake runs rap its a fact stop denying.

      THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE DRAKE IS THE FACE OF RAP. NAME A RAPPER HOTTER THAN DR AND DONT BRING UP NAMES LIKE KENDRICK. WHEN THE NUMBERS SHOW DRAKE IS DOUBLE PLATINUM IN HIS SOPHOMORE ALBUM AND HIS SHOWS DOUBLE HIS SALES. DON”T BRING UP OLD RAPPERS LIKE JAY Z THEY HADE THEIR TIME AND RIGHT NOW DRAKE WILL OUTSELL HIM AND MAKE MORE HITS. DRAKE IS THE FACE OF RAP AND IF YOU 40 YEAR OLD HIPHOP VIRGINS CAN’T ADMIT THAT THEN YOU ARE DELUSIONAL

      1. the reason drake sells so many damn records is cause theres way too many blondes like you born in this world buying his shit

      2. I have to endorse everything that “drake runs rap” says. People hate Drake because of the way he looks – too clean cut/light-skin. It doesnt change the fact – he is the best rapper to emerge since yeezy. Fuck the purists. They were wrong about biggie, jay-z…they are now wrong about Drake and Rick Ross…

      3. How long are you gonna copy-paste this bullshit, Drake stan? Anonymous 3, you’re wrong about everything.

    12. I have never seen so many butt hurt old school nerds mad that they don’t have 46 million ppl following them. You hate the fact that Drake is sucessful bc has the most no. 1 hits at 26 and that he has 3 GQ covers in his young career, and he’s only getting better.

    13. Drake is horrible. Anybody that thinks a Canadian actor turned rapper is worth listening to then you are a douche bag just like Drake. Anybody can rap now and it disgusts me. Fuck Drake. Fuck Drake. Fuck Drake.

    14. The past is the past no1 cared about the old shit any more so stop bringing up the past. Right now its obvious that ymcmb is dominating the rap scene and has the most current fans we run the rap gape. YMCMB WE OUTCHEA

    15. drake can rap, like it or not. so stop saying he cant, because he is way, way better than 90% of dudes out there.
