Nah, Cole earned his spot

It was exactly what I expected keeping up with the singles he premiered on 106 & park lmao. Album is great

Yeah I guess I mean, FNL was such an amazing project in comparison

That felt like the album we should’ve gotten with some tweaks obviously

Guess it doesn’t really matter at the end of the day since we ended up getting it anyway lol

The beauty and enjoyment of not comparing and listening to a new release for what it is

Hey man it’s human nature

We all do comparisons with something in life

But hes still not better than them 2 mixtapes, one of the biggest 2010s albums nor as consistent

I agree cole is a cornball (sean is also a cornball imo too) im not a fan of either of them outside of Detroit and Born Sinner+FHD+Truly Yours Series

But Sean does not have an argument over Future or Travis today, or Meek and Rocky back in the day

If this thread was about Future I wouldnt care

If Sean is saying hes a big 3, i dont think anyone would look sideways at kendrick or drake after the beef. Cole has the chink of backing out and he is lower than them both in terms of impact, hits, sales and skill - but thats why hes always been the solid #3 (or mr. Top 3.5 i joke about) - and thise things minus hits beat Sean. And cole still made a forward diss response track at the end of the day meanwhile Sean backed down 3 times even tho he cried in interviews and did sneak disses.

The only positives about Sean is his hit ability and flow. Everything else is far subpar. And its a fact hes not as influential or impactful as Cole. Only Future and Travis can contest him there.

He doesnt beat the actual big 3 in almost anything, i then with the honorable mentions he only has 1 to 2 things up while again falling. Such as his skill is obv better than Trav but Trav beats him everywhere else even hits which is Seans strong suit.

And he doesnt beat people like Young Thung, Migos, Tyler and few others in terms of underground influence.

And again:

Cole, Kendrick & Drake proved theyre the real Big 3 once theyre war killed everyone elses attention, rollout and albums. Including Big Sean.

I do think a few people could take J. Coles place as number 3.
It just isnt Big Sean. At all.

Cole landed in the big 3 as a nepo baby & repeated it so many times that people just went along with it, and that’s not something i’ll change my mind on tbh

would Sean fit better in the big 3 than Cole? definitely

are there other artists from that class of rookies who i’d put in there before both of them? of course

but i’m not gonna miss an opportunity to remind people that Cole was never that far ahead of his peers even though he somehow made it as a “big 3” rapper

lmao oh teach us your ways the untainted one from myth & legend

anyone on this remix would fit in the Big 3 better than Cole

All those incense must be f***ing Sean’s head up if he believes this. You’re supposed to open a window when you burn them.

You over the last 48 hours

aren’t you supposed to be quarantined in the big winter stan thread

“Big 3” convo doing more damage to the state of hip hop than anything mumble rap did. This idea that there can only be 3 at the top is dumb

You know damn well I don’t like them winter threads . I just want the og drake album thread back, u could lock that winter thread for all I care lmao :jordanlaff3:

Very true in a way

It was a exciting convo at one point but it’s definitely overstayed it’s welcome

I feel like the Kendrick, Cole, Drake beef really started to dismantle it tho

@WINTER should i do it?

wtf...

Sound like a fair trade to me

it was definitely divisive but he was still killing features and built up so much good will with cruel summer, WTT, MBDTF
