Aug 2, 2022·edited·2 repliesI love j Cole but I know hip hop is dead when a man hopped on a f’n remix record sayin he was third out of the group and folks still want to big up him as 1.
Nas, Hov, Ghostface, etc would NEVER“I’ve got to say this, just ’cause I don’t always want to have a heartfelt moment when we’re on stage together and s***, but you know, you did that ‘Pipe Down’ freestyle the other day, right?” he told the crowd at the time. “You was saying in the freestyle about, you know, they handed you the bronze, whatever, whatever, me and Kendrick. I just want you to understand something. You are genuinely, without a doubt, one of the greatest rappers to ever touch a mic”
Dude let drake big bro him months ago. But I’m the new nigga cuz I have eyes and ears and a memory.
Now, back to pre 2015 hip hop. Kendrick opened up for Drake. J Cole stopped what he was doing and went to open up on the tour too to join in on the fun. Chief keef was more popular than both of them, before being signed to Dr.Dre and Jay Z
Jay z shout outed chief keef, Kanye put him on his album while the streets were wondering why Hov never put Cole on. Y’all didn’t know s*** about this hip hop s***. Cole got KILLED for I let Nas down. I stood in the rain while he got clowned. Y’all talked to no one so y’all don’t know the history
Y’all weren’t bumping love sosa in the layup lines done arguing with niggas who think being five eight is tall
Aug 2, 2022·1 replypaQlBQChief keef was bigger than j Cole and Kendrick in 2013. FACT. Arguably bigger than drake. We know about CK’s influence already.
Nicki and Ross sold about the same first week as good kid maad city.
In addition to the artists above
Wale, meek mill, Mac miller, Lupe, wiz, asap Rocky, kid Cudi, future, - all had their own waves pre 2016 too.Drake was way ahead of Kendrick and cole at that point in time. Drake rapped with Wayne in 09 on a major song while Kendrick imitated Wayne in california. The big 3 but the last two were drakes openers haha
Wayne and Kanye were relatively young, aging out, and at the top of mainstream rap
(Everything typed is speaking on early 10s hiphop)
Trippin, Kendrick basically had all his GKMC success in 2013. Sosa went viral but Kendrick had his breakout year there and was everywhere that year.
Aug 2, 2022paQlBQI love how you deflect
Kendrick was big 3 in 2012 that’s why Ross and nicki matched him first week with way less marketing / big name features
I'd say GKMC and Problems feature is what brought Kendrick into the top 3, that's when people started hearing about him. Compare the sales to date of GKMC and these albums, obviously Kendrick not going to sell more first week on the album that establishes him as a mainstream act
The Big 3 was a thing already in 2013 and definitely in 2014. Otherwise you're saying that FHD-TPAB is the era when this concept started and that's cap. Was already a thing by then

KdogoneYou can argue Cole is getting better as a spitter as he’s aging, you can’t say that about the other two
This is facts but no one gon admit it

Idk why he's acting like I'm saying there were no other big rappers or that Kendrick/Cole/Drake were selling the most. It's never been about that. It's hard to articulate, but people put these 3 on the throne because they're extremely popular mainstream artists but also skilled as rappers. Mans unironically brought up Wale, Mac Miller, Lupe, Wiz
The Big 3 was definitely already accepted by people by the time Cole dropped FHD, I'd say 2013 is right

niggas tryna discredit Kendrick so much on here His comments about Kendrick and Cole opening for Drake make me think he's one of those "There is no Big 3, only Drake then the rest" insecure ass niggas
I can't even tell you wtf "Cole got KILLED for I let Nas down. I stood in the rain while he got clowned" has to do with anything

I love j Cole but I know hip hop is dead when a man hopped on a f’n remix record sayin he was third out of the group and folks still want to big up him as 1.
Nas, Hov, Ghostface, etc would NEVER“I’ve got to say this, just ’cause I don’t always want to have a heartfelt moment when we’re on stage together and s***, but you know, you did that ‘Pipe Down’ freestyle the other day, right?” he told the crowd at the time. “You was saying in the freestyle about, you know, they handed you the bronze, whatever, whatever, me and Kendrick. I just want you to understand something. You are genuinely, without a doubt, one of the greatest rappers to ever touch a mic”
Dude let drake big bro him months ago. But I’m the new nigga cuz I have eyes and ears and a memory.
Now, back to pre 2015 hip hop. Kendrick opened up for Drake. J Cole stopped what he was doing and went to open up on the tour too to join in on the fun. Chief keef was more popular than both of them, before being signed to Dr.Dre and Jay Z
Jay z shout outed chief keef, Kanye put him on his album while the streets were wondering why Hov never put Cole on. Y’all didn’t know s*** about this hip hop s***. Cole got KILLED for I let Nas down. I stood in the rain while he got clowned. Y’all talked to no one so y’all don’t know the history

CRACKASTEPPAVEGANCole is on a feature run for sure, I just don't see the same intensity in his own songs outside of some obvious picks.
This. Cole doesn’t care about competing. If he brought the same energy to his songs the narrative would be different

"Some people say that I'm running third, they threw the bronze at me"How he feels about himself:

From just a rapping standpoint, he can flow, but that's not all you need to be memorable as a pure rapper.

Cole was Jay album tho... what are you talking about?
Post BP3, 2011 J Cole verse. You know, the guy who made an album called the cole world: sideline story. These lyrics are from the song called “Sideline story.”sorry if you missed that one in real time…..
I forgot I need to be more literal when ktt users try to pull my card
“I made it to the rock, even though they tried to box me out
I got the key to the game, they tried to lock me out
But what they don’t understand is this is all planned
It’s a bigger picture and you can’t photoshop me out
Some nigga ask me why Jay never shout me out
Like I’m supposed to give a f***There was a lot of niggas asking J Cole this same Hov question
After 2011, J Cole made a song called “I let Nas down” and had Nas remix it. Y’all think Hov really rockin with dude like that? Lol.
Jay Z musically supported Meek, Vic Mensa, Kanye and Jay E way more. Pusha t has more Jay Z features than Cole.

Great follow up
Aug 2, 2022Cole makes the least memorable songs of the 3 and that’s why he’s in last
But i agree — as a pure rapper Cole better than both
