Kendrick needs another GKMC/DAMN level album to shut down the haters who thinks he can't make bangers anymore.

Drake needs to either make another experimental HNVM type album with better vocals or a full scale rappity rap album with a cohesive concept.

And Cole would benefit with linking up with one top tier producer(Metro, Alchemist, etc) for a whole album.

They still have plenty of time left.

Aight nigga

3/Btw this thread had nothing to do with ageism.

Notice how I aint say Kanye or Future and they are older than the big 3.

This is more so a creative/legacy aspect.

If anything maybe these cats need to take a break to recharge. Sadly that is mainly for Drake.

Cole actually could drop a new album that I would check out it seems like he has hit a new level

They move on to Zach Bryan, Bad Bunny, or Fred Again

Be careful what you wish for

Last time big 3 went on hiatus u had niggas calling lil baby and roddy ricch the next mount rushmore contenders. no thanks

This might be your best thread. It’s actually kind of creative

this would never work for kendrick because

1. niggas will say kendrick old and tryna keep up wit young niggas.

2. they’ll try to say it was ghostwritten by baby keem

and

3. niggas will still complain about how he has no quotables and “his features still suck” and “he’s never been in a real beef”

Kendrick would kill that beat

thats crazy..

Yeah there was definitely a clear passing of the torch from the 2000s era goats to the big 3

Hip-Hop as a whole fully got behind them and s*** hasn’t let up since

I feel like rappers these days don’t even want the torch tbh, everyone just wants to stay in their lane and get to the bag

Occasionally some weirdo wants to actually be creative but it’s always so niche that, outside of the people who cosplay as the same anime characters as they do, no one gives af

Sad times for rap

I’ll take a great album front to back where I can get it these days, whether it’s from one of these guys or elsewhere. It’s been a while since any of these three artists have given me that, Her Loss and Mr. Morale came close but just couldn’t get me to love it.

They still got momentum, might as well keep going if their heart is in it

When I was young I was a huge Hov fan. His work after his retirement wasn’t on the same level as the material I grew up on but he was still active and I enjoyed hearing his new s***. In retrospect most of my peers didn’t feel the same way. He still had tracks/verses that younger age groups could appreciate though. Could’ve lived without a lot of that but he managed to preserve his legacy by adapting to the times.

Feel the same way about Nas. By the time I was really peeping music on my own he was dropping Hip Hop is Dead and Streets Disciple. He had tracks with Lil Jon and other feats I rocked with though. Had some heat on his later projects like Still Dreaming and liked that a lot. This era with Hit Boy doesn’t shock me bc Nas was another vet that popped out time to time to show niggas he still got it

The Big 3 still working, niggas should let em cook. Always good to hear the vets show why they reached a certain level

I agree, but would still like another Kendrick album and another Drake album. I feel like Cole is the only one that is for sure past his prime. Love the guy but that’s just what it looks like to me

Not me I want The Fall Off

Drake is Drake.....to me he's been a playlist artist for the last 5 years. At this point I'm okay with that

I'm a huge Kendrick fan, but no more concept/conscious s*** for now. We get it man......just rap your ass off and start having fun again

Cole has been quietly outrapping both of them lately ....and think he's about to surprise people with The Fall Off

@op Is you f***ing crazy??

Is you f***ing crazy??

Is you f***ing crazy?!

I need more Kendrick

I’d still listen to a Kendrick album in full at least once. Can’t say the same for the other two

cole been rapping like a mf as of late this might be the first time i’ve ever looked forward to a project of his

Im cool if we never got a j cole album in the first place

Bro Kendrick is having fun making those albums lol. I don’t know why niggas think he is choosing to not enjoy his own music for the sake of a concept 😂

They really think they’re saying something too lol
