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.
cudi lifetime done similar numbers to cole + kanye also backed sean
rozay move was prolly worst move in wale career and forever lil broed him in perception
bob got brazyyyy numbers but was never chasing that rapper throne
Remember there was a lot of buzz when he had the best verse on 1train
Was ages ago though
His buzz started before 1Train. I remember being put on to him with through Wiz. After that verse he put along with finding out he made the beat of the song, the rest was history
But if someone said 4eva is a mighty long time is better than Cole albums I wouldn't argue
KRIT is dope but nah. The big 3 is much more than just about talent. They all cultivated fanbases in different ways. If it was all about talent the big 3 would probably only have Kendrick
People forget his name was literally right there with them
Drake
Kendrick
Cole
Travis
Future
ASAP Rocky
Big Sean
Meek Mill
Big Krit
Young Thug
The 2010s top 10
Hms to Mac Miller, Tyler the Creator, Schoolboy Q, Joey Badass, Lil Uzi Vert (debut a bit too late in the decade imo), Chief Keef (would be in top 10 if he did more in his youth & didnt self sabotage), Wiz Khalifa & Waka Flocka
Cant forget about the rappers that made a new era for themselves and were looked at like brand new artists 2Chainz, Pusha T, Gucci Mane, Lil B & Juicy J
Or the rappers that were still going such as Kanye, Rick Ross and Jay Z
But those hms and especially top 10 were generational talent - at least for my HS class of 2014 of the whole decade and i was outside super heavy
Also shout out Migos but thats a group
Krit was in my top 3 along with Kendrick & Rocky for most of the decade, wattba
amazing post
Anyway KRIT hard but most of the public doesn’t like southern rap like that so they just ignore him
That’s really the bottom line
in terms of catalogue, Rocky better than cole but he more dad than rapper at this point.
The state of the youth is indeed sad.
I think I remember you said you were a tutor or something. Do you still tutor kids?
Bc krit is more traditionally southern and regional while Cole is more of a representation of the entire east Coast being from NC but really coming up in the game in NYC. Most of the founding Dreamville crew is from Queens

Yeah have a few facilities now for tutoring and youth sports complexes. Aau season in full swing

right ? Krit would never back up from this situation. He was the only one who came at Kendrick on Mt. Olympus at the time Control verse dropped
