3rd is the best sorry

Bro again the argument isn’t commercial if that’s the case it would be Nelly over Nas

It’s Commercial impact multiplied by Skill always has been

Also the gap between Future and Cole commercially is not even that wide Future has just released way more music also Future doesn’t have a single album as Big as 2014 FHD was commercially not even DS2, FHD is 6x platinum

Even now Cole is the 10th most streamed rapper this year and Future is 6th, not that wide of a gap

And Cole built that status with almost no reliance on pop records

50 Em Nelly
Jay Ja Rule Dmx
S*** like that feels more accurate to era

SSLP MMLP TES VOL 1-3, Dynasty TBP TBA I Am Stillmatic Lost Tapes Gods Son all literally dropped within a few years of each other

I gotta ask someone who knows better than me but even after ether I don’t think nas was peaking commercially the same time as these guys

2 1 3

cole is not in the big 3 lol

new yorkers opinions on rap stay undefeated

undefeated in their awfulness

2 > 3 > 1

big 3 convo is about dominance imo. and cole got future beat there.

Yes, Cole has the biggest album among the two of them, no denying that

But looking at the rest of their discographies:

Cole:
3x Platinum - 1
2x Platinum - 2
Platinum - 1

Future:
3x Platinum - 1
2x Platinum - 4
Platinum - 5

When The Real Me goes #1, Future will also move to #3 all-time for most #1 albums by a male solo artist ever, behind only Drake and Jay-Z.

Doing all of that as a Southern rapper who exclusively makes trap music is a huge feat

Has Future not been extremely dominant commercially throughout his career?

• Third most #1 albums among all male solo artists ever

• More streams than Cole on both Spotify and Apple Music (#3 on Apple Music and #17 on Spotify)

• Third-most entries all-time on the Hot 100, behind only Drake and Taylor Swift

213 but personal would be 321 or 231, listen to more music from the second 2 rankings

So you legitimately think

That j cole is a bigger staple of the 2010s than future

Shaleirose in here SPITTING

I defer to shaleirose

I see ktt still doing this gimmick of wanting to retroactively write cole out the drake/kendrick/cole big 3 cuz he acted cringe during the beef oh I get it man

Nas was huge

Not as big as Nelly or Fif but this is the same strawman argument that people are having about J Cole and Future

Nas was making platinum albums AND rapping at an elite level far beyond Fif or Nelly or any of those guys

To be fair I’ve stood on this forever.

But yeah he did expose himself as a b****

Can’t be talking about being the best and slink away.

Cole got 3 albums with 369k+ , Future might have dropped more and got accomplishments off that, but I wouldn’t say he’s ever dominated. the closest he got was I Never Liked You era with a big album + single and Dot dropped 2 weeks later so that moment was nulled quick lmfao

Yes

50 years from now Cole will be remembered as a staple of the 2010s along with Drake and Kendrick

Future will too for his commercial impact for sure but when it comes to all around impact as a hip-hop artist taking skill into account he will be remembered

You saying Coles impact is bigger than futures??

It’s not been 5 years and people are already forgetting about Cole man

What did you think of his albums?

That is very easily a yes lmfao, like what are we asking rn

3>1>2
