Future Claims He’s “Top 5 Dead Or Alive”

    Future took to Instagram on Thursday (November 8) to make a bold claim. Alongside a photo of himself rocking a fur Reebok coat, he declared he’s at the top of the list when it comes to Top 5 rappers of all time.

    “Top 5 dead or alive and I’m#1,” he captioned the photo.

    Since stepping on the scene in 2012 with his inaugural studio album Pluto, the Atlanta-born rapper has morphed into a bonafide superstar. His last two solo albums — 2017’s Future and HNDRXX — both entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1.

    It marked the first time in Billboard history that an artist had two No. 1 albums back-to-back.

    Future’s most recent project, his collaborative effort WRLD On Drugs with burgeoning rapper Juice WRLD, debuted at No. 2 upon its release, selling over 98,000 total album equivalent units in its first week.

    Although the usual suspects for the Top 5 Dead or Alive conversation typically include some combination of Eminem, Biggie, 2Pac, JAY-Z, Nas or André 3000, does Future have a case?

    He thinks so.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]

    1. No. He’s not even the best rapper in his era, how is he gonna be top 5 doa? His music is a lot of fun but you gotta actually have bars for consideration

      1. Popular misconception. Actually 2Pac was the first. All Eyez on Me came out on 2/13/96 at number 1 and Makaveli came out on 11/5/96 at number 1.

    2. Of course and while we’re at it:

      1. He was conceived through immaculate conception.

      2. He discovered gravity while sitting under an apple tree, and

      3. Discovered the new world while on a voyage to India.

    3. Whoever wrote this article doesnt know much about hiphop history. Lots of artists have had back to back #1 albums and theres a handful that have had 2 albums go #1 in the same year

      1. By back to back they mean literally 2 weeks behind each other. Not one in February and one in December of the same year. Future dropped on Feb 17th, and Hndrxx dropped on Feb 24th. With that being said I don’t think that is relevant to whether or not he’s top 5. We all know damn well he isn’t.

      2. Artists have released albums that have gone #1 each time they release, yes. Not what’s being mentioned though. Future’s the only person in Billboard history to release an album that’s gone #1 and then the next album to knock off that album from the #1 spot is his other album.

    4. Lmao. Not even top 5 Atlanta dead or alive if we have to be real. I can make it 10 atl doa and he still would struggle to come to mind.

    5. So let’s see…. He’s better than Jay? Nas? Pac? Biggie? EM? Lil Wayne? Drake? KRS 1? KANE? RAKIM? CYHI? Kendrick? J-COLE? BRUH, My list could go on and on….

    6. People will say anything for attention apparently… If you reading this check out some quality MCs like Mick Jenkins, an my favorite duo of this generation, The Underachievers…. Peace y’all

    7. I’m sure someone just didn’t understand what the fuck he was saying. He probably said he could top 5 dicks in his mouth at once while trying to rap, dead or alive.

    8. I came here for the comments and they didnt disappoint hahahahahahahah ohhh fuckkk i dont know whats funny this claim hes making or the comments

    9. Didn’t they just cancel a Future/Nicki tour due to low ticket sales? I feel like that’s somehow relevant to this conversation.

    10. I see the writer tried to be slick and throw eminem in the top 5 discussion but this is NOT true nobody puts eminem in top 5 anything but 1 click on the writers pic revealed everything I already assume the mayonnaise level on this was subtle but very high nonetheless

      1. Eminem is not only on everyone’s top 5 but he’s on top of a lot of those lists, every respectable rapper has em on his list cause they respect the lyricism, your ignorant dumbass thinks its a white thing, you prob have lil uzi and trippie redd up in your top 5 lol

      2. your parents have brainwashed you kid!!! No wonder you’re on here hating you don’t see green!!! all you see is black and white FOH

    11. Hmmm…If he’s talking about his era then he is def right though…..I would say its him Drake, JCole, Kendrick and the fith spot could def be optional…

    12. LMAO GOAT OF WHAT? INCOHERENCE? WACKNESS? CMON FUTURE GOTTA BE MORE SPECIFIC … YOU CLEARLY CANT MEAN RAPPER OR LYRICIST.

    13. F*%k no! I’m not going to diss this dude, but no way. Not even in the discussion of top 100, 200 or beyond.

    14. If Little Wayne never created mumble rap, we would never heard of this guy

      Future and all those other crappy Atlanta mumble rappers ain’t shit without a metro boomin, mike will made it beat.

      Put him on a DJ Premier beat that actually requires talent and he will die instantly
