French Montana is being dragged by hip-hop fans and artists alike following his claims that he can match Kendrick Lamar "hit for hit." Even Young Thug got involved, criticizing French and starting beef between the former collaborators. The whole drama led many fans to wonder: Who actually has more hits?

When it comes to cultural accolades and impact, Kendrick Lamar is, undeniably, in a league of his own. His LPs have seen unprecedented commercial success, with DAMN. breaking the record for the highest first week of sales for an album in 2017, and earning a Pulitzer Prize. While no French Montana album has come close to this success, the "Unforgettable" rapper has dropped his fair share of hit singles.

Thus far, K. Dot has yet to respond to the ongoing debate. Nevertheless, Thugger responded on his behalf. Like French and Kendrick, Thug has also frequently visited the Hot 100.

While everyone has got a lot to say about who's "better," we wanted to know what the charts say. According to XXL, there's a very clear winner. Check out the detailed break down below.
