its actually mind blowing how x and juice and peep were some of the most promising artist of this generation and they're all dead all within a 3 year span. its unreal
To See that Ski actually pick Lil Peep even through all there drama/beef makes my heart melt. Ski is one of the most intelligent and loved artist, we must protect him at all costs🤍 LLJW LLJ LLP
@@jimmypurrpgem2995 I really felt the same like he didn’t go to into x or juice as best rapper in his own words ski just had to say better friend in his life basically witch still makes since but like juice go crazy with the freestyles and flows so like.. damn also rip both legends
It really had to come down to X and Juice though, I will throw in Uzi and Peep as 3rd and 4th but when it comes down to the most iconic/best Soundcloud rappers, it's always gonna be X and Juice.
I don’t think juice was very SoundCloud era, I feel like SoundCloud was definitely on the decline when Juice was blowing up. Personally I think X 1st, Peep 2nd, Uzi 3rd, and Juice 4th. Peep was definitely a iconic rapper from the SoundCloud era and played a pivotal role in shaping the sound/scene at da time. If we’re talking Soundcloud i think juice is more of a TH-cam rapper than anything wit lyrical lemonade videos shaping his career
its just a really bad coincidence that all the top soundcloud rappers were tight w ski like that. i woulda had pump vs purp and trippie vs 69 for match ups instead tbh
X will win it all in Skis eyes. But Pouya, Fat Nick should’ve been in here. Ghostmane, Shakewell. Germ. Bones. There’s so many more people. Tank head. Craig Xxen. So many.
X most definitely deserved the crown. from the very beginning that crown was his. I love all other artists on this list but X in my opinion was like the stepping stool they needed to reach the top. Everyone except maybe peep, peep was in his own lane aswell
I get that complex thought this was a fun little game but that shit was FUCKED UP this shit real life! Love goes out to ski and RIP all the true artists.
Subjective bias aside, i would say carti over curry if the creteria is the soundcloud era. Cartis soundcloud wave was so insane. Love curry tho, imperial is still so crazy 🔥
@@lawrenceellerbe7530 they both suffered from normally mediocre lyrics, however x had occasional good lyrics here in there. jw talked about drugs in basically every song.
Mad to see ski say “peep was my dawg” when they were beefing a few years ago before his passing. Luckily it did get squashed but unfortunately ski squashed it too early I’m guessing because I peep tragically died and x would’ve become friends with him
The beef wasn’t between ski mask and Lil peep it was between ski mask and other members of peeps friend group that apparently stole ski masks belongings. ski mask just didn’t really forgive anybody in that group. It was petty but is unfortunate because it prevented x and peep from ever meeting

X all the way and he wasnt done progressing. He is so talented
Ski's wordplay and flows are insane it kinda pisses me off that he is so under appreciated in the rap game

Honestly X is the greatest artist to come out of SoundCloud. Most talented too. After him is either juice or Uzi (tho I prefer juice)
Denzel best artist out of soundcloud
I kno some wouldn't know Black Kray, GTBSG/SBE, and Cartier God influenced some of these Soundcloud rappers
@jamnik even if it wasn't for the Raider Klan, they still would be a thing 'cause there's many to be influenced at.
agree but x don't got the best music unfortunately, so much lost potential
@@Alex-kh8zj i agree... he didn't have enough time to really master each sound he started ):, so much potential taken away shit sucks.

As a huge fan of both, X is comfortably first when it comes to that era.
@@yungwxiner4226 yeah you make some really good points and I agree. X is definitely number 1 and Peep and Uzi are the next in line
X is the GOAT. He mastered every genre and says a lot when his contemporaries looked up to him and even tried to replicate his sound. RIP
X definitely had potential and he is the goat of soundcloud but he didnt master all the genres
def didn’t master every genre 💀
He was good but definitely not the goat
Respect to Denzel, he stayed in with the final 4 when 3 of them are Skis best friends who have died.
Denzel was also close with Ski at one point
peep was not ski best friend lol

X most definitely deserved the crown. from the very beginning that crown was his. I love all other artists on this list but X in my opinion was like the stepping stool they needed to reach the top. Everyone except maybe peep, peep was in his own lane aswell

How are you gonna talk about the “Soundcloud Era” and not even include Bones in the bracket or even mention him.
