And over 10 minutes of just thanking people on an album that's 65 minutes long That's like 25% worth of s*** I never want to come back to, literally a quarter of this album is bad.

Drake is literally Wayne’s protege

Drake?

Drake ain’t have legions of early teens screaming TGOD or a song as big as Black and Yellow

ClanWay

What

By 2010 He already SFG, Every Girl, Best I Ever Had, Successful, which were all top 5 hits on Billboard as well as What's My Name with Rihanna.

Quit the cap lol there was never a time where Wiz and Drake were on the same level popularity wise.

Drake Cole Kendrick, Big Sean even, all should get a lot of credit to varying degrees for not flopping as protégés and taking this s*** over a decade in

Prior to them, that rarely happened

To be under a massive umbrella of a lil Wayne, Jay z, Kanye west, and not flop, put out multiple number 1 albums, massive records, arena tours, and to still be relevant over a decade in says a lot about that group.

OP is wrong though Cole definitely and obviously wasn’t the first

Revisionist history

Nicki too

Wayne found pretty much a perfect male and female counterpart while still beinf extremely popular himself and they totally surpassed expectations

wonder if we’ll ever see anything like that again

Tbh I ain't type Nicki's name out because I've always felt that she simply stinks as a rapper lol but she definitely fits.

this hurt to read as a nicki stan but i respect ur opinion at least u recognize she fits i totally agree with ur original post too

LOL WHAT?

That's not revisionist history I was outside in 2010.
Every Girl was already out
Bedrock was already out
Best I ever had was already out
Successful was already out
What's My Name came out in 2010.
ALL OF THOSE WERE SMASHES FOR DRAKE lol come on bro. Facts only. Wiz had a buzz in 2010 but it wasn't on Drkae's level. He did 500K first week on a debut man.

TBH this applies to all of the Big 3 and it kinda applies to Big Sean too. Or does it? May explain peoples hesitancy to put him up there

he didn’t fully commit to being the top Nigga in a lane a la the mainstream guy (Drake) the artsy guy (Kendrick) or the backpacker (Cole)

I mean it's a personal thing with Nicki. I just never really liked her as a rapper. Even back then, I didn't.

But she 100% was a Wayne protege and someone who not only lived up to Wayne's stature but quite honestly surpassed it. Proteges do not become megastars, and she did.

Black & Yellow was way bigger than all of those except What’s My Name & Best I Ever Had and still was bigger than those 2 just not way bigger.

In what world was Black and Yellow bigger than Bedrock or BIEH alone lol

I vividly remember that era it’s weird to even to try and put wiz vs Drake two completely different lanes and intros into the game

Wiz had niggas wanting to emulate a lifestyle and Drake had the “substance” and relatability (to people under 25 at the time) and also 2008-09 Wayne co-sign into Forever with Ye Em Wayne made him nuclear

When was Bedrock referenced every other evening on SportsCenter I missed that era. And yes they are two different lanes but both were looked at as part of that new class. I’m just really ITT playing super devils advocate tho because Drake slipped my mind when I made the thread

I think it applies to Sean.

He carried GOOD Music on a mainstream level, and gave Ye hits for a decade. Detroit 2 was a #1 album and that came out on Good Music.

That era was so dope

Warm up, So Far Gone, Finally Famous vol 3, Kush and OJ, was all in rotation

To me it’s like LeBron, KD, Steph

and then Sean is like Dame lol. Moments of greatness and high level of talent but never quite reached that next level thus far
