    sidebar but do y’all remember/know of the original big 3?

    Really wasn’t. I’m a big cudi fan and it was always obvious he wanted to separate himself from mainstream hiphop early on in his career. It wasn’t until later on where cudi became less picky about working with other artists and making traditional rap music. Cudi was really hot back then but he was never going to be apart of any traditional “big 3”. The statement itself goes against his morals as an artist. Especially early on in his career.

    Fr though no one’s ever really heard J Cole diss. Might just be where he shows why he shouldn’t be number 3

    He tried with Diggy Simmons and lost

    mixtapes dont count now?

    I like his mixtapes tbh, album wise though he's weak and doesn't compare to the other 2 artists.

    This wasn’t a thing lol just a photo shoot

    The original big 5 was Wale, Cudi, BoB, Asher, and Charles Hamilton. This before drake or Cole or Kendrick came through they were all late blog bloomers

    It was, these was the next stars deemed by XXL which had all the weight in the world at that time

    XXL hyped them up as the next stars of the new gen at the time

    I get it, it’s just hilarious in retrospect m. Probably meant the world at that time

    Really glad the Kendrick prince comparison has been established

    It’s so funny seeing people lie to themselves about prince to make that line go harder

    Shoehorning yourself as the smaller guy is a choice

    dudes over there finally reached the early 2010s

    Ahmet Ertegün was instrumental in the careers of many iconic Black soul artists, such as Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and Otis Redding. While Ertegün was a pioneering figure in his support for Black artists during the segregation era, he was part of a broader movement in the music industry that sought to bring Black music to wider audiences, both in America and internationally. He was also involved in songwriting, producing and development for his artist that’s why they called him the architect of soul. He was also capitalist at the end of the day and there are definitely some questionable things he had done but the influence cannot be denied.

    Maybe next stars but calling them the big three when cudi made completely dif music than either drake or wale makes it a dense statement. Cudis music was never going to be accepted in the mainstream like drake or early wale. His music is too weird and experimental. That’s why I don’t like the whole “cudi was apart of the first big 3” thing.

    I didn’t say anything about losing. I just mean the the noise that comes with a rap beef

    Drake a legend music period. It’s not about stans. He too necessary to the eco system and I too prolific

    He is a legend. No one is denying that lol. The nigga is my most played artist. I walked 30 minutes to the store to buy a copy of Thank Me Later.

    Yes, all the people who first heard of him from Marvin’s Room crossing over to pop radio are still gonna listen to him and his numbers will be fine. But losing in a bad fashion would be a stain because he cares how his pen is regarded despite his numbers.

    Drake has seen the worst case scandal in terms of clowning / “exposal” reaction from the pusha been back to the fall out from writing scandal.

    He should just have fun with this knowing his career and legacy pretty much bullet proof. Do this for the sport

    Even Meek came back from back to back. No one actually thinks diss songs are meant to be career enders.
