if we’re talking about sheer popularity, sales whatever then Cole is undoubtedly a part of the big 3

You’ve been lead to believe while Nicki exists but they don’t wanna have that convo

Rt tho FHD being a classic is the thing really

Anybody who thinks cole is a goat fell for the psyop

“the big 3” was completely made up by Cole fans to proselytize people into thinking Cole held a candle to Drake or Kendrick when he never did and even now doesn’t really

breh travis is barely even a rapper. bro vomits out loren ipsum s*** on sleepy trap beats and not much else lmfao

Were you not there for the heart/mind/soul memes in 2015

Tyler was selling <100k until 2019 and bino was barely dedicated to the rap game for 3 years, why would they be big 3?

Like I can understand future or Nicki being substitute more but ya saying Tyler and bino are just crazy.

Bino only has two rap albums and one of them is camp.

And Tyler was more inconsistent in the 2010s than cole until flower boy (2017)

How many times are we going to make this thread?

Fhd is his only classic

Fall off is good

But isnt a goat supposed to have more than 2 good albums if theyve been consistently drop since 2013

Future

Travis

Thug

Yea that works too tbh

Friday Night Lights
Section 80
So Far Gone

This wasn’t something that people just started saying in 2018

Fundamentally rapping will always matter. Cry

Nigga goated off Friday Night Lights alone.

FNL a classic tape and Born sinner a borderline classic.

Anyways the “big 3” thing was more so a period where they were seen as the top rappers commercially and skill wise. Drake and Cole themselves acknowledge that it’s a thing.

Yall aint ready to have the convo that kenny aint in the top 3, u cant go ghost for 5 years and drop some ass water and mow go ghost again for probably another 5 years

Top 3 is drake, trav and cole and honestly i would put current Ye at #4 cus he really making motion passed couple years with donda and now this new tape, posting great sales and having a #1 hit is big motion

Remember y’all tried to sneak Big Sean in there lol

Album was good, Drake does the same dropping an album with 2 radio songs with the rest being “fan favs”
Drake hasn’t dropped an actual album since 2016

I don’t think Nicki’s catalog is better than Cole’s

Bro clearly didn’t listen to Evil Ways lol

Future

Christ man even if you don't like Drake you got to be a huge hater to act like Honestly Nevermind and Her Loss weren't well crafted albums. You can tell he was more focused on making them cohesive and not at all worried about singles
