Does Big Sean belong in the same category as Drake, Kendrick and J. Cole?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Twenty88 is underrated but no. And Sean kinda fumbled not taking his career into his own hands more. Relied on Kanye too much.

Truth is the fourth should be Wayne

He’s the founding father of Drake, Kendrick, and Cole

I put Wayne as the top three from the era prior it would be Wayne Kanye idk the 3rd

Then the era before that 2pac jay nas and big (yeah it’s 4 instead of 3 but it’s way too close to leave one out)

The mental health angle extended him.

Wale is everything Sean thinks he is and it’s sad really

Meek? You might as well throw Currensy and KRIT in there. Or Wiz.

Big Sean is fabolous with a jhene relationship and mental health awareness

Yes, bar for bar could go against any of the 3.

 

[Dipsey Doo]

No, but he had some very memorable singles.

Soundtrack of my mid 20s

The fourth head is Future, and it's really not close.

It’s Nicki and it’s not close .

 

[NZA]

i compare him to tyga

Big sean makes great music. Just not at one time. He doesnt have a filler bar. Which is a hard feat to accomplish.

Id say future deserves it. But doesnt have the critical acclaim like the other 3.

He bodied kdot on Holy Key can’t nobody tell me different

This is a tuffer question to answer than some might think. If we're measuring by "dominant" or "popular" metrics most would probably say "no." However, I think the '10s rapper are tough to judge because most of them have classic or highly respected works that are honestly quality albums categorized as mixtapes. I'm also biased because my nikka KRIT desreves more respect.

Also, while Cole is one of my favorite artists, I can't help but to wonder if we'd be having this conversation/who would've taken his spot if he didn't live up to his full potential? As time goes on nikkas forget that his first album didn't do what we all thought it would/could. That second album was a much better effort and helped put him back on track, imo (Bumpin' "Miss America" right now.).

I always wonder why KRIT isn't in these big 3 conversations. He's honestly 2nd to Kendrick

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

No.hes a sixth man of that group.. same as Krit

KRIT has one of the greatest discographies in the history of music. He is top 2

 

[Mr Clean]

Those 3 left him in the dust. He never really got put on that pedestal. I’d put him a bit ahead of A$AP Rocky so not successful but never quite reaching that heavy hitter status. He had a good career all things considered. No need to elevate unnecessarily
