Lmao they said he's a top 3 music festival promoter oh I get it now
Nope. You were right initially. No way in hell he's top 3 for that
I wouldn't say Cole a top 3. He got away with dropping forgettable albums. He's a great rapper in general but his albums are not it
Travis numbers without bundles are lower than Kendricks lol
Nah Trav is gonna out-stream Kendrick by a small margin
So the criteria is now the race to a mill?
Not fws?
it was never fws to me at least
overall sales >>
Why do the people writing these threads not give the exact criteria they want met in order to dictate the top 3
This is just a Kendrick hate thread, nothing else to see here
Cole sold 282k first week and went platinum and did really well
Kendrick did 297k first week and went platinum and did very poorly?
How
Its just Drake stans hating Kendrick, nothing else to it
If Cole had issues with Drake over the years, they Def would’ve said Off Season was a flop.
Coles last album performed really well. Kendricks album performed very poor. Just going off recent numbers i’d say this is the current big 3
Kendrick outsold Cole & has the biggest tour oat in rap
Cope more
Yeah, big 3 can’t really be just about numbers. It needs to refer to a current class of rap artists. When Drake and J Cole and Kendrick were the big 3, their sales could’ve been challenged by previous cohort artists like Eminem, Kanye, Jay.
I like this thinking tbh
Cole couldnt even fully get into the top 3 even after Kendrick took a 5 year hiatus & Drake started being experimental bro barely top 3 since late 2010s & has always been firmly #3 when he was fully in there 😭😭🤣
replaced kendrick but not j cole?
Cole is WAY more active than Kendrick at this point
But the big 3 will never change
It was made during a time specifically for that era of artists
