Nelly made a diamond album but he wasn't seen in the same category as Jay or 50 or even TI or Ludacris in the early 2000s. Too much artistic difference to really be in the same category. It's really :mjpls: the way rappers/Hip-Hop is only seen as 1 thing in the first place, but that's another story

He's talking about the rapper rappers he came into the game with and all reached higher heights than their peers. Cole, Drake, Kdot. Future was never in that group. I fukk with Future btw.

When did Cole reach a higher high than Future did with DS2? He's never had a "moment in time" album like that.

Neither is Kendrick tbh. Not consistent enough.


If you were to walk outside and ask a random kid who are his fav artist of the past decade


It will prolly be something along these lines.......Drake,Future,Thug,Lil Baby,Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi.
Does Kendrick really need to be though? I mean let's assess.

He called out Drake

Bullied Big Sean

Won a Pulitzer Prize

Good Kid Maad City is still on the Bilboard top 200 over 10 years later.

No one debates "if Future a better rapper than XYZ"

Now if you debate who is the better artist or makes better music since they all came out then fine

One thing I’ve noticed is that old nikkaz fukk with future. Both my parents fukk with future more than Drake and J Cole and they up in they 60’s. They also fukk with Kendrick too.

To me personally? Never. But most people are gonna say FHD. That was a huge album, it was his first arena tour, multiple hits, still resonates today, etc.

I'm surprised there's any pushback on this. Cole, Drake, and Kendrick reached consistent heights that it took years for any of the next generations to reach. They're also from arguably the last generation of straight rappers (metaphors, punchlines, similes, etc) on the mainstream level. Just about everything else that has popped since then has been more melodic and less lyrical rap.

Future deserves his credit and has classic albums (DS2, and Hndrxx to me personally). But that big three started in 2012, coming out the gate selling 200k first week and taking shyt over. Future didn't do that.

First off future was dropping mostly mixtapes and majority of his albums went platinum. Both his honest and Pluto albums went platinum. Future has more total album sales than J.Cole does.
