Lot more too l.. They were talented asf too

TI a goat

you’re definitely complaining wtf

I wish there was a TI smiley I could respond to this with

How tho I love rap just not happy with whsre it going

Because most of them do the same thing as everyone else.

And a lot of them get hot SONGS before they build an actual fan base

The big three are still drake kendrick and j cole bro. Get the f*** over it. That wont change until they sell under 100 k retire or die.

In order to last you typically have to make focused, consistent, great projects that keep a fan base around.

Attention spans and trends

It's cause they can't rap.

You know what's funny?

The same niggas who complain about "sales talks" in rap don't even realize that the BIg 3 is literally based on sales.

Only Kendrick is making elite level music out of the Big 3.

If ya'll really didn't think sales mattered, ya'll would've replaced Drake/Cole with Gibbs/Danny Brown in the Big 3 discussions.

the way you titled this thread was annoying
it's kinda been this way throughout the internet age....
artists only last if they are able to outlive the hype - and alot of them DON'T

most of the newer XXL Freshmen lists consist of absolutely disposable nobodys who have about 6 months of talent in them; people who have been rapping for a year lol these aren't real artists who have a plan
