Ok but nikkaz are acting like he has ghost writers for every song and act like the boy don’t write. Only thing that I will give you is that the nikka read off a blackberry on flex which was wack.
This alone disqualifies him to me. Kendrick Cole and KRIT have spazzed on radio freestyles. None of them needed to read their verses off a phone

I hope yall are reading my posts and not just saying what artist yall like the most

:francis:

2 Chainz is one of my favorite rappers. Joey Bada$$. List goes on

But they aren't in my top 3. For reasons that are valid. This isnt a debate thread yall. Give these artists their flowers

smh...threads like this need to be grounded in objectivity. and it's four kings and a queen for the 2010-2020 era - kendrick, cole, drake, future, nicki. stop trying to deny reality

Close thread. The facts and the stats prove this. You can’t put krit anywhere near these folks and he’s in a lower tier with big Sean, wale and meek mill.

Sales. Are. Not. Objective. Measures. Of. Quality

Just like The Warriors arent better than the Heat because of Ticket sales

Watson isnt better than Lamar Jackson because he makes more

So on and so forth

Nicki is definitely the queen. But yall need to stop putting artists like Travis Scott up there with GOATs when the criteria for "kings" arent consistent. Kendrick is a GOAT to yall because of lyrics. But yall put Future and Drake above him because of singles. It isnt consistent

Relevancy and popularity do not matter in my consideration. And it should ideally be the same way for any other skilled artist/athlete/actor etc that is debated about

This is why this thread is the last one I'll make about giving artists flowers

Yall make me sick. The Booth, TLR, and The Coliseum as a whole makes me sick


Everything isnt a debate. Yall pollute threads with sentimental opinions and hot takes. This is not about whos the best ever or who you like to listen to

Rappers who make music this very day would consider Kendrick, KRIT, and Cole 3 of the greats

Cole said on Prove It off KRIT's 2019 album
"Krit my nikka, I feel your shyt, been feeling your shyt since.....put me on, I put him on Dot, he put me on KRIT.....now years have gone"

But yall are in here discrediting this man to prop up your favorites

Im out

Travis Scott is not a GOAT, no one has ever said he was...

and you're being intellectually dishonest, sales/success + skill + projects is what put the other people you named at the head of their class - big and pac aren't kings just off talent, they were successful. same with jay/nas

you may not appreciate him, but drake is incredibly good at what he does, he's had enough moments where he showed his skill, and his legacy and impact will be bigger than krit's and whatever other BS metrics you're using.

future is a GOAT off how he resonated with the culture and his direct impact on tons of artists after him

you wanna make a subjective thread, cool, but don't start it with people who objectively tick all boxes and then switch to some other BS

This is when I stopped reading. I was a diehard Drake fan since 2008. On Forever he had my 2nd favorite verse next to Wayne. I listened to songs from him in middle school 13 years ago that you probably dont even know exist

You're in here trying to dissect arguments. THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT

I'm done

Don’t get mad because no one agrees with your post fine that’s who you look at as kings. It’s going to get critiqued.

lol @ being mad people have a problem coming into a thread you named the 3 kings of this generation...used the consensus people from the past and then threw in KRIT over one of the consensus people from today's era
