All good with preferring one over the others or vice versa but do feel you can appreciate all three of their approach to their art form?

Poor Wale

[CrimsonTider]

All 3 are great but you know this isn’t what the booth is about

 

[Dad]

Section 80 is a classic to me. shyt blew me away then & now .

 

[African Peasant]

Based on my sociological observations, not the charts

Future and Young Thug >>>

Drake been a pop act.

 

[Metal Face]

Future and Young Thug >>>

Like Future and Thug ain't pop too

 

[Guvnor]

All 3 are Great but Kendrick has the best discography.

Drake got the best hits.

Cole had the best all around but I aint like his last few projects.

Poor Wale

Poorer Charles Hamilton

Fixed

If I’m making a thread like this I gotta salute the the four kings - drake, cole, Kendrick, and future. People may not put future in the same tier or diss his lyrics but bruh had a huge decade and greatly influenced rap more than drake (the pop star) IMO.

These four gave you music from four different angles and held down the genre.

None of these “next” dudes are touching these guys. Don’t care about popularity, but as far as skill, innovation, influence, risk taking…no where near them

Kendric
Drake
Cole
Future
Thugga

 

[Piff Perkins]

Salute them all. Not sure when we’ll see this type of dominance, creatively or commercially, from multiple rappers at the same time who entered the game together.

This top 3 really only exists on the internet between stans.

Drake, Future, Kanye/Thug is a way more accurate Top 3 if we wanna talk about what people are really listening to outside.

Kanye's 2010 decade is the definition of not being listened to outside (don't even come at me, certified Kanye stan but his music as far as radio, clubs, cars was not outside like 04-12 Kanye)

Thug is greatly over estimated on this board, bruh was not more successful, listened to or influential than Cole, Kendrick, Drake and Future. And he definitely doesn't have the same reach across age ranges and gender. The three in OP easily had people 10-50 listening to them, someone like Thug had 15-30 year old boys/men
