STOP. MAKING. BIG. 3. THREADS.

Thanks! I didn’t want to say this.. And I’m fans of all 3!
But if you can see a clear / defined Top 3, going back to the early 90’s, if not before.

Now that Dot, Cole & Drake are getting older, idk. You would think someone new will pop up… Right? Hopefully

YBs “emo”/pain/love whatever you wanna call it music are some of his most popular songs

SHUT THE F*** UP ABOUT THIS BIG 3 BULLSHIT

pop smoke was the one

RT

BIG 5 ERA >>>>>

Hard to Swallow pill:

The big 3 era stagnated hip hop.

Made the dumbass audience think you can’t like more than 3 people. This site’s stan wars are proof of that.

Old niggas in here saying “if this was the big 3 hip hop was already dead” is funny cause Juice made better music than a good chunk of the 90s rappers y’all idolize

PAC was that guy.
Juice seems to have enough music stashed away like him.
I’m not hating at all…
But if his music is generational, it’ll show!

you need to stop this romanticized standing on the shoulders of giants bs when it comes to deaths in music

even if you wanna do this boxing in bullshit, both big and pac were parts of their respective long-existing lane and these lanes continued on because there was other talent coming up within them. big and pac had little to nothing to do with this; both x and em and subsequently 50 came sorta out of nowhere and both came by way of larger figures (irv gotti and dre). realistically in different circumstances big would go do his thing with hov and pac would prob move on from music in the next couple of years with no changing tides. their deaths shook s*** up but the show never stopped, not before not after

with soundcloud rappers the foundation was feeble and it was all very 'in a moment' for a lot of these guys. the lane was so severely underdeveloped and based on multiple careers kickstarting at around the same time that the moment some of its biggest talent moved on to different sounds or, unfortunately, died, the entire lane just moved on all the same. the genre ran its course and maybe there will be some sort of revival or second wave but I cant imagine it going anywhere. maybe carti can change it but idk; it might be looked at as a second wave of sorts a few years down the line, it might not

RIP to bro and all but he was above average at best. uzi was always better than him

Uzi ain't big 3, he's not even apart of X and Juice's generation. If we're going by those names I'd replace Uzi with Pop smoke

/thread

Terrible take.

Oldheads my brother in christ you not that young dude lol

juice wrld was that guy but i think mfs would’ve got tired of him crying on every track unless he really started rapping like that

Bandit was a game changer when it dropped I hate that was his last song

i’m already tired of his posthumous s*** for that reason

Hate these kinda posts lmao

literally killed the rage

the rage is alive and well

That’s not what this is about.
You’re not wrong, but that’s a different subject.

Radio has nothing to do with it.
It has to be a small % anyway.

If there’s a true top 3, like there’s been for 30 years, you can’t argue that..
Sure, if you wanna say Ye should be in the top 3, fine.

But the point is, there’s only a handful of rappers, ever, that can be on that level. And we are not seeing them right now.

That big 3 era only started in the 2010s wtf u talking about.

30 years? U mean top 5? Lmao

uzi??????

Facts speak for themselves. We don’t need your opinion
