Earlier this week, Lil Pump listed who he believes started SoundCloud rap.

"These are the rappers who started the whole Soundcloud shit. Me, X, Ski Mask, Purpp, Uzi, Yachty," Pump said. "Nobody was being called SoundCloud rappers until we came out. We made the whole SoundCloud wave go up."
SoundCloud rapper UnoTheActivist wasn't feeling that one bit.

In terms of when they first uploaded onto SoundCloud, Uno has at least Pump beat. The Atlanta rappers track "Parkin' Lot Pimpin'" was on the free streaming service in 2015, a good year before Pump entered the SoundCloud scene.
Who do you think started the SoundCloud wave and should they get credit or scorn for that?
