I would’ve been up there with Drake, Kendrick, and Cole, I just ain’t have the energy to compete - Big Sean

[spliz]

if you wanna put Spitta up there you can...these are all opinions fam. I liked Currensy and still do...but he drops too much music. He never really put his all into one project and made something special. Nip did...and was more diverse subject matter wise and he resonated with me more. Nip came from the same era as Kendrick, Drake, Cole and Sean and is held in the same regard by them...he's def in the convo.

U said he never put his all into a project to make it special? That's cap. The Pilot Talk series? This Ain't No Mixtape? Covert Coup?

He started out with one trick ….and mad nikkas stole that trick and he wasn’t versatile enough to get a new one …but even then that nikka had a hell of a run.Sean is all over graduation and many other nikkas shyt..to say dude wasn’t influential or had an impact is hilarious

big Sean also had celebrity relationships and a Kanye co-sign that propelled his run

You can add Fetti and the Harry Fraud joints too...solid projects...but no Victory Lap. It's just on to the next with Spitta.

Y’all both crazy

in 2024 Travis is bigger than both Cole and Kendrick and he has more impact than them.

Cap. Impact in what? Sneakers? Son ain't musically impactful like that. Not in hip hop circles anyway. Either way they have been more impactful for a longer amount of time. These nikkas been around since 09 respectively. Travis ain't get hot until way later.

Almost all the nikkas that made it out of that era had a big co-sign.

and his co-sign was on the strength of havin a style that dude wanted to shark/borrow

Covert Coup. One of the most important underground hip hop albums of the 2010s.

I could see that but Wale could’ve been there too, idk wtf he was doing.

I think Wale is the best rapper of that whole era, but his personality always put people off lol.

nikka what? Cole had a Jay cosign. Kendrick had a Game, Dre, Cole, and Drake cosign. I mean what are u tryna say here. Kanye was finna do him dirty and drop him from the label after he helped him with Graduation. shyt ain't even comparable.

Drake got the Wayne co-sign. Wale and Meek had a Ross co-sign at some point. Kenny had Dre. Cole had Jay.

What I’m saying is that I believe the big Sean hype had more to do with that than his actual Music. No one cared about Sean’s music like that

sean basically mastered the celebrity couple cheatcode

I just don't think people ever fukked with Wale like that
He could do it all, he was getting big media looks when they all first came out. GQ had him Drake and Cudi on a feature. RocNation management, Mark Ronson Interscope behind the 1st album.

I still love attention deficit as an album but it flopped and he was never the same

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Medium Sean ever collect that 6 million Kanye owed him?

He probably gave his best shyt to l00nye albums tbh

 

[PHamm]

That’s real. He’s had bouts with depression and anxiety, ain’t nobody got time to be out there consistently if it’s that bad. He’s still gave the game a lot.

Hes extremely soft, no Diddy

185 millions records sold but nobody cared about the music. I swear you would think Big Sean had no fans based on TheColi opinions on him
