XXXTentacion and Eminem have emerged as some of the most streamed rappers in Spotify history, as the DSP published its list of most streamed rap songs ever on its platform.

In honor of Hip Hop's 50th birthday this year, Spotify revealed that Post Malone's "Rockstar" with 21 Savage, Drake's "God's Plan" and XXXTentacion's "SAD!" are the top 3 most streamed rap songs on the platform, with Posty's track topping the list with over 2 billion total streams.

Meanwhile, XXX and Eminem had multiple entries on the list, with the former's "Jocelyn Flores," "F*ck Love," "Moonlight," "Everybody Dies In Their Nightmares," "Hope," "Changes" and "Look At Me!" all making the list. For Slim Shady, his entries included "Lose Yourself," "Till I Collapse," "Without Me," "The Real Slim Shady," "Love The Way You Lie," "Godzilla" and "Mockingbird."

Spotify also dropped its Most Streamed Rap Albums list earlier this month, with Eminem and XXXTentacion dominating that list as well along with the late rappers Juice WRLD and Pop Smoke.

Two XXXTentacion albums, 2017’s 17 and 2018’s ?, made the Top 10, with the latter topping the list. Juice WRLD’s 2018 debut album Goodbye & Good Riddance and his 2020 posthumous album Legends Never Die both cracked the Top 10, while 2019’s Death Race For Love landed at No. 13.

Finally, Pop Smoke’s 2020 posthumous album Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon also made the Top 10, while his mixtape Meet The Woo 2 landed at No. 37. Eminem additionally had six albums in the top 50.
