It’s seemingly a never-ending debate when comparing the greatest rappers of all time or in this case, the best of the 2010s. During a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Joe Budden made sure to give Future his flowers while stamping him as one of the greats who sometimes gets forgotten about in conversations.
“So, I was trying to think of the last and it shocked me to learn that we don’t talk about Future enough on that list and he’s there,” the “Pump It Up” rapper explained. “But he’s been there and we don’t discuss it. We just say Drake, [Kanye], [J. Cole], Kendrick [Lamar], [Lil Wayne] — Hov is already goated — but Future is there.”
Spotify’s RapCaviar revealed their list for the 2010s Mount Rushmore of Hip Hop which included J. Cole, Drake and Kendrick Lamar before having Nicki Minaj take the final spot with a fan vote where she beat out Future, Kanye West and Lil Wayne.
Either way, Future isn’t lacking any self-confidence when it comes to his resume. In December, Hendrix claimed he was “bigger in the streets” than JAY-Z and reposted a follower’s claim that Future could take down Hov in a potential Verzuz battle after Jay claimed nobody could see him on that stage.

“I Promise You, ErrBody From Atlanta Feels Like Pluto Can Win A Versus Against Hov!” read Big Bank’s message, which the Atlanta rapper reposted to his Instagram Stories on December 22.
Future in my top 10 greatest of all time. One of the few rappers who had a whole generation imitating his style. If that ain’t influence wht is? None of the other great rapperz can say that. He practically innovated a new style of rapping. That’s even more genius and ballsy than the others
Future, is that you?
After future imitate Cashout,why y’all getting it wrong… When did u start listening to rap
Pluto.!! ??
I can agree with this! Future to me is in a class like E-40. Most don’t acknowledge his lyrical prowess but he is a Top Tier rapper and his influence can not be denied! Whether we like them or not, none of these new generation rappers would exist if they didn’t copy one of Future’s styles.
You fcuking wrong brah.back then Cashout started the style future is biting today
Who TF talks about cashout anymore or even bumps his shit? Boy your crazy thinking future is biting anyone.
Future wrote cashout song “Racks”
You put E-40 and Future in the same sentence; you must now slap yourself…
The only area where Future is ahead of those guys is STD’s…
I think he gets over looked because of his auto tune usage. He also pumps out so much good music people have a hard time listening to it all. I wonder if he let his songs marinate longer would they have a lasting effect.
No, he gets overlooked because he’s nowhere near a damn lyricist…
This is so tragic to see coming from Joe. It’s wack how he’s regurgitating and spewing the Same Industry Nonsense he HATED back in his rap days. How many bars did he have about labels, and trash rappers, trash making it to the top while the real lyricists are ignored. This is shit he always rapped about and would’ve dubbed Future garbage but now that he’s actually a part of the industry he hates so much he’s gotta say this s hit. Smh. Crazy I used to be a fan of this dude, now he just talks crazy for clout
ATL the kings of producing power bottoms.
Joe just wants an interview with Future, what a lame
Future has more hits than Kendrick Cole and jay z so Joe’s is just hating
