No the f*** they are not

Tyler’s shows are not reaching Travis level yall unserious

Tyler the creator is not in Fortnite accept reality

Earl

Veeze and Lucki would definitely be the ones from the mainstream who drop nice bars every now and then. Maybe Ray too. Ngl their subject matter and the fact that Wayne Ross Hov etc already did the flex talk much better makes those picks kinda iffy but they’d be the closest in the “mainstream”

We need a Nirvana moment in Hip Hop...soon

ROD WAVE??????

The real big 3:

Tyler makes one week classics, idk anyone who actively listens to Tyler’s music outside of the week it drops nigga music has no staying power and I say that as a huge fan

Real

Im not gonna pretend to know their attendances and dont care to look them up but i think theyre of the same stature, what travis has over him in terms of being more “mainstream”, i think tyler has more of a rich lore/story and respect as an artist and anyone who knows travis knows tyler lol, he got converse like travis got jordan brand. And whatever else you could say It aint farfetched that theyd give tyler a mcdonalds meal or a fortnite/playstation collab if he doing s*** like Grinch and whatever else

Travis aint getting a classic show on Adult Swim accept reality

Tyler is not a good rapper and hasn’t been since b******

Yall Tyler nuthuggers are hilarious

Tyler is popular for his personality and his passion for music not the music itself

don’t sleep he sold out barclays

He wins by default for having some upholding of the early 2010’s rap standard

2024 member obsessed with this s*** it’s the right person alright

Respect to all 3 but they're OG status at this point which means that they, by definition, can't be a modern Big 3.

Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones still put out music but they ain't running modern Rock.

Never listened to a full tyler album till CMIGYL and he never really was for me Im just objectively speaking we can do the dumb cherrypicking all day lol

Couldn’t be my generation

Top 3 and he’s not 3 or 2!

F*** a modern big 3 everyone is trash

Yup.

I'd say Ye, Wayne, and Em were the consensus "Big 3" of the 2000's and their influence carried over to the 2010's.

Honorable mention to 50.

Rod Wave is the only one that really deserves to be on this list

Travis makes great albums but he can’t rap or rap at a high level

Carti barely raps at all and mainly relies on aesthetics

Rod Wave at least has some substance even though he mainly sings

Yeah man.

It's crazy going from Pac/Biggie/Nas in the 90's to Em/Ye/Wayne in the 2000's to Drake/Kendrick/Cole in the 2010's to this.

I know it makes you sound like a dusty oldhead but hot damn.

At least Travis and Carti make interesting sounding music that pushes boundaries production and sound wise. Rod Wave is dope in his lane but his crooning over trap beats is about as derivative as it gets today lol.

The indie scene has many great rappers.
