He's competing with Cole in several similar accomplishments

Tyler has had:

1.A successful music collective from 2009 to 2014.
2. Decade spanning festivals
3. Two seasons worth of tv shows
4. Several successful clothing lines
5. Plenty of influence in the industry today
6. Grammys
7. Multiple successful albums with fans, critics, and mainstream audiences
8. Arguably is a decent rapper at worst to a great rapper at best
9. Def is known main streamwise for several different reasons.

Is his only barrier to be solidified is having one rap album that competes with FHD?

Tyler makes clothes.

He’s in competition with Ye and Pharrell.

Red headed step child.

It's only fairly recently that we're starting to see him be accepted by his peers publicly.

I guess that makes sense. It's weird how we all acknowledge there is different types of categories of competition lol. I mean Tyler came up with Cole, Kenny, and Drake in the same era vs Ye and Pharrell being in the same era.

Homosexual

It’s just not the lane he occupies

The top 3 was decided in like 2012 when Tyler was nowhere near most peoples top 3

Realistically the big 3 will always be Cole, Drake, and Kendrick because the big 3 really means big 3 of the 2010s

Tyler isn’t slept on tbh, I think lots of people acknowledge him

Because even tho Tyler makes better music Cole is 10x the rapper he is

i think 10x is dragging it

Tyler is pretty lyrically consistent now

indie sweetheart tyler?

Tyler definitely should be in the discussion just sayin

Tyler is a really great rapper but he has like no good quotables which I think puts him down a bit

Too mysterious

He’s good but even his best verses don’t wow people the same way Cole does on like Johnny P Caddy for example

Yeah but 10x is a lot

I think tyler would hold his own on a song w cole

10x makes him sound like hes lil xan or something

But 10x???

Thats too much

Fair data thread to support Cole lol

you asked the site where the data was collected

Maybe but I just think Cole is a different class of MC, like could you imagine Tyler doing a song with Royce or Gangstarr?

current tyler? yeah

tyler spent the first half of his career saying s*** like "rape a pregnant b**** and tell my friends i had a threesome" like r yall really surprised

Yeah?

It’d only seem weird bc of his style not his lyrical skill

I wouldn’t say Mac Miller was a much better lyricist than Tyler at his best and he rapped with all types of niggas in that lane. I think tyler would do fine on a song with most rappers hes a proficient lyricist. Im not saying he would wash them but I don’t see why he wouldn’t be able to be on a song with them

He could be on the song but I don’t think he would be a stand out presence the way a cole would

plus rap culture isn't ready for a gay guy

he's in his own lane
