was he you know…

Yes and Yes

Good point but cudi had Ye, Wale had Rozay, B.o.B had T.I.

gkmc separated Kendrick, drakes consistency separated him by the time he dropped NWTS, and Cole connecting with 2014 cemented him. And I don’t really give Hov or the Roc credit for FHD like that.

he was just too southern tbh and his sound did not become the mainstream. Cole's sound emulates a much more historically accessible sound.

I mean if we being real anyway, Travis been taken Cole's spot from the big 3

Because Krit a country ninja and y'all didn't like his accent

future, travis, carti, krit >>>> j quil

Roc, Mach, & Rome my Big 3.

Kendrick's an all-time great.

Cole's cool.

Aubrey's a pop artist.

Future disrespect

The real answer is the Def Jam/Jay Z machine

Drake had Weezy
Kendrick had Dre

It‘s about industry respect and hip hop media push

Doesn't really enunciate enough to be considered a really lyrical dude for my ears. Also all his stuff has sounded super samey since DS2.

… and Cole had Jay

Push will never get respect as a solo artist. I’m shocked Daytona was praised that highly to begin with.

Daytona a bilassic

The Drake stimulus tbh

FAX OP

And he has the discog to back it up

F***in what?! He gets tremendous respect

Maybe not enough but still, alot

Pretty sure he’s seen as a legend in most eyes

Hell no Elric, he dropped HNDRXX after DS2 remember

“Let”

It’s wild people call Daytona boring

Super trapper future has some some penmanship, same with east Atlanta apartments future he’s got quick melodic pain bars , imagine you were in the apartments and you hear future serenading heavenly in the apartment next to you recording substitute everything

Was an instant favorite when I first heard Grindin and a goat since HHNF
