Fantano not always right and overall too severe imo but he's consistent in his approach and that pretty much sums up the so called "big 3" debate. Kendrick is a tier up compared to Drake and Cole
Cole definitely had him conflicted the most and it makes sense cause I listen to cole albums and it really takes me a while to decide weather I liked it or not 😭
I mean, the order says it all. Kendrick is consistently great, Cole is consistently mid-to-good, and Drake can be very hit-or-miss (more miss these days).
YAH. BLOOD. GOD. and LOVE. weigh down his (and my) listening experience, he has changed his mind on DAMN. and said it's a weaker listen as it ages. While he has come around to some songs like LOYALTY. he has changed his mind on others like XXX. (citing Bono's feature as bad) and DNA. (it no longer having its original punch) which cause the album to now be seen more as a 6 for him.
@@Verziroo even so he put the cut together I'm not saying he shouldn't give credit but if we judged people for stealing content half of youtube would be eviscerated

According to one man… There both great artists and Drake has put out multiple albums that are just as good if not better than the latest album Kendrick had out at the time
@@Zzzzzzzzz280 Love Yourz is a great song but is a little flawed when it comes to J Cole’s vocals. Same thing with Apparently. Needless to say, still an amazing album. Just no perfect
Musically Drake is not horrible. The man is talented, he’s just not as talented as Dot and he’s way past his prime. Dont let the beef cloud your judgement

@@James-sj1us 3 is ridiculous, 21 songs on the deluxe and only 2-3 skips (born sinner and maybe viluminati). Albums at LEAST a 6 and that’s judging in comparison to ALL his work
Out of all the albums rated 7 or above, Kendrick has 6 of them, drake has 1, and j cole has 2. Out of all of the albums rated 6 or under, 1 of them is Kendrick Lamars, and too many to count are J Cole's or drakes. It is truly just big him.🐐
@@hopebbq but most of the time the credit of the album is given to Kendrick, he's on 5 songs and I'm pretty sure was involved in some way in the other ones.
Studio Albums only: Kanye = 10 Albums (4 Rap Grammys Won, 4 Album OTY noms) Kendrick = 5 Albums (3 Rap Grammys Won, 4 Album OTY noms) D-Rake = 9 Albums (1 Rap Grammy Won, 1 Album OTY nom) J Cole = 6 Albums (2 Rap noms) Kanye also won 1 Christian Album Grammy

Since when was this guys opinions considered valid? I think it’s very clear he has a specific type of taste in rap which is fine but it’s so clear when he hates it when artists explore other genres. Honestly Nevermind/CLB/Views/More Life is aging amazingly, So Far Gone, something that’s considered one of the best mixtapes oat and top 3 in the modern era, was rated awfully low. Don’t even get me started on J Cole, there is so much to unpack there. His opinions are aging so poorly and he has a huge sense of ignorance. Not all of the music in the video are for his ears. He’s into conscious rap that’s fine but he pretty much rates anything that isn’t that as below a 7.
The Big 3 is name given to the 3 biggest rappers to Prevail out the 2010s, which is Drake, Cole and Dot( undisputedly ). The term was literally coined for them 3 specifically 💀. Cole ain't start shit, y'all reaching heavy. In a fews years we may also have another big 3( Like Wayne, Kanye and Em for the 2000s).
2:36 Fun Fact! When Fantano Says "Underground Hip-Hop," He Is Pointing To Madvillainy By MF DOOM And Madlib, Drake Said In Multiple Interviews That He Is A MF DOOM Fan, So Fantano Is Just Reminding The Potential Viewer Of Drakes Love For MF DOOM, Pretty Cool Right?
@@tateihuhwa9089contrary, don’t think he “misses” a lot. Just feel like he doesn’t really meet expectations. Like 2014 FHD is alright but the way some people talk about it you’d think they discovered the Rosetta Stone when it’s kinda… meh? Not a complete miss but not groundbreaking or anything like that at all
It's kind of half and half. He's got some amazing hits on there like apparently and no role modelz, as well as love yourz. I love a lot of the songs on the album, but it's not my favorite album of his
Giving Forest Hills Drive a "Strong 5 to Light 6" is pretty much where he lost all my respect for his opinions lmao. Some of the other albums he ranked lower I enjoyed but I could understand why some people dont enjoy em, givng 2014 Forest Hills Drive that low is either clear bias or lack of knowledge on hip hop.
He knows a shit ton about hip hop, this guy is very knowledgeable about so many genres, honestly what tells me whether someone is really for the culture is if they don’t think fhd isn’t mediocre, some yall just got ears that are way to easy to please and that’s how we end up with drakes and gunnas
@@Angel_3kidiotic statement. For clarity, kendrick only has 1 album to date that gets more streams weekly than FHD. What makes cole so appealing is his relatability, he’s become probably the most relatable rapper in history, we can all relate to him and part of the reason FHD is so good, that’s probably one of the only albums in hip hop that you can listen to on the way to work, on the way home, smokin a blunt? whatever tf u doin u can bump fhd and chill. Tpab u can’t do that (it’s a whole ass lecture hence why fhd gets more streams today)
@@adzappin_2567 dunno why you brought up streams but that’s just a whatever point. And now we’re judging quality off of whether I relate to this rapper or not? I can relate to dozens of other songs and rappers and they outrap him and out produce him, hell I relate to more Kendrick songs then I do Cole. And adding onto that, fhd is an easy listen like so many other albums. Smoking a blunt, walking to work, at work, you could listen to the college dropout, good kid maad city, black on both sides, Aquemini, enter the Wu tang, low end theory, they can be enjoyed thoughtfully and casually, fhd isn’t special and neither is cold. He’s good, a great rapper in fact, but if his talents stem from his relatability and when he’s allowed to be played I think there’s something to be questioned about with his praise. Also, tpab has songs that aren’t study necessary, alright, king kunta, Wesley’s theory, these walls, like I listen to many relatable songs that have way more interesting production and writing then fhd, and I used to listen to that a ton 2 years agk
@@Angel_3khe definitely knows his stuff, I sometimes think he's a bit hard on cole. But he usually makes good points. Imo 2014 fhd isn't cole's best album it's like his 3rd or 4th best imo. But people have different music taste, and even though I like cole's music more than kendricks, I still see kendrick as a more talented artist
Even though no one should treat the rotten cantaloupe's opinions as gospel- when your "weakest" album listed is the Black Panther collab soundtrack, *you know you're on a whole other level.*
It's the difference between McDonald's, to a chain restaurant like Olive Garden, and then you got the premium restaurant that you can only have in one place in the world
I disagree with this guy about many things, but I honestly can’t disagree with him on most of these ratings and that’s a great thing in my eyes. It shows that mediocre or trash or whatever isn’t going to get praised or appreciation, the bare minimum isn’t celebrated, which is perfectly shown in his Drake reviews and some Cole reviews.
Thanks for doing this bro, but if you were to do something like this again, you should put album titles and year in the video when they show up. Just a little critique. I couldn’t care less about the watermark, jsyk
Tbh j cole is in the middle of the three he’s obviously second, the thing that makes him better than drake is that’s his calm Andy humble he doesn’t like drama, and he has more iconics than drakes and even if drake has more iconics j cole still has harder songs and hard work, even tho I’m a Kendrick fan I still take some time to appreciate this mans work, he went from underrated to overrated because of the j cole fans that never maid j coles picture look good, but if you add Kendrick’s work compared to j coles work Kendrick just has better albums.
You think Cole is overrated? I understand a lil, but to me it always seemed like Cole's discography doesn't really paint his true picture, like someone once said to me "Kendrick is more of the prodigy and Cole is the guy who put in 10000 hours of work into his craft." Now on top of that Dot has put in his 10000 too, but it is also the reason Cole has shown more growth. Dot is one of the true GOATS, but Cole sits with the all time greats. He truly is our Andre 3k
So let me get this you put a watermark on someone else’s content because you what? Consumed it and clipped it? Not cool homie, make your own takes and create your own following instead of leeching off others
Yall give drake too much credit, he is only a commercial success because he makes universally good generic music lol so much so everyone loves, hes an artist you can depend on to be the same fr, the only thing he ever changes is the beats which he doesnt even make 😂
I still don’t understand the hate for might delete later vs the love for the off-season. MDL felt like Off-season part two or maybe the tracks that didn’t make it onto off-season. It gave me more of what I wanted from Cole. He’s just mad because of the anti-trans bar.
@@Ty-oe4dr I think I enjoyed it because of my expectations. The Off-Season is my 2nd favorite J Cole project. I do think it's his best performance overall. The off season felt like more of what I already like about the last 4 years of Cole.
How you give DAMN a worst note than Untitled Unmastered, I like both but UU is literally musics that were not good enough or didn’t fit well on TPAB. Also, DAMN is extremely underrated
Also, he said basically said that The Off-Season is better than 2014HD AND 4YEO, like, how you listen to 4YEO and says that this is not his best project?
uu definitely has a case for being better but both great projects, i feel like fantano sortve rates albums based on the artists discographies so a 7 for kendrick might be like an 8 or even a 9 for another artist
DAMN is literally his most streamed I never understood people who say it’s underrated bruh u can’t just say that cuz u see it get hate once a lot of people rank DAMN very highly imo it’s slightly overrated even tho FEEL, FEAR and PRIDE r some of my fav songs
@@skyrrmish6207 Without saying songs from Damn I can say this is a criminally underrated project, cause is has two ways to listen, that is the original order and the collectors edition order, and like, the story a new meaning depending on which order you listen to it!
Calling 2014 forest hills drive a 5 or 6 makes this entire video completely irrelevant. Sure Kendrick’s music does stand above the rest but most of Anthony Fantanos opinions have been pretty garbage overall imo
@@SJ-Lakui you’re saying that like i don’t have an opinion of my own. was simply stating that coke and drake have convinced people that they are top 3 which they are no where near to that imo
@@adzappin_2567 ur goat just hopped on a track called grippy lil g. j cole had the most corny bars and wack tracks for the longest you guys just gass the same 10 songs
Care package isn’t an album, to be fair. Also, most of those songs got a lot of love when they first came out. It got put on streaming platforms for the people like me who were still in school when those came out. They’re products of a different era
More than halfway through and he hasn't even mentioned Kendrick yet

J Cole only puts out "7s". No better, no worse. I like that guy, but Cole has NO Classics.
Since when was this guys opinions considered valid? I think it’s very clear he has a specific type of taste in rap which is fine but it’s so clear when he hates it when artists explore other genres. Honestly Nevermind/CLB/Views/More Life is aging amazingly, So Far Gone, something that’s considered one of the best mixtapes oat and top 3 in the modern era, was rated awfully low. Don’t even get me started on J Cole, there is so much to unpack there. His opinions are aging so poorly and he has a huge sense of ignorance. Not all of the music in the video are for his ears. He’s into conscious rap that’s fine but he pretty much rates anything that isn’t that as below a 7.
Fr
At 8:53 he finally mentions Kendrick
6:39
Fantano is too harsh, my guy really giving actual classics sixes and sevens
the gap between strong 6 and light 7 is miles lol
Light 6 on FHD is crazy
Full of filler
Such as? The only filler song is Hello, the rest are amazing@@alel3882
Bro, there's no "big 3", isn't it clear by now?
Exactly it’s just something Cole said to make it rhyme with "league" and "Muhammad Ali" 😂
Nah there is a big 3, but Drake and Cole ain’t in it. No disrespect to Cole
The Big 3 is name given to the 3 biggest rappers to Prevail out the 2010s, which is Drake, Cole and Dot( undisputedly ). The term was literally coined for them 3 specifically 💀. Cole ain't start shit, y'all reaching heavy. In a fews years we may also have another big 3( Like Wayne, Kanye and Em for the 2000s).
@@tateihuhwa9089No.

Not at all can’t discredit everything drake has done you can try but you just can ifytitl is a incredible mixtape
Before knowing about fantano I thought drake's music was bad, really bad, now I know I wasn't wrong

Never listen to to guy that gave a lil pump album a 7 while also giving Tha Carter 4 a 3 and MBDTF a 6.

oof
No overly dedicated man
2:36 Fun Fact! When Fantano Says "Underground Hip-Hop," He Is Pointing To Madvillainy By MF DOOM And Madlib, Drake Said In Multiple Interviews That He Is A MF DOOM Fan, So Fantano Is Just Reminding The Potential Viewer Of Drakes Love For MF DOOM, Pretty Cool Right?
Kendrick Still Better Tho
4:00 lol this describes Hearts P 6 so well

It really is just big Kendrick
Some of what Antnee said really aged like fine wine, Drake stepping on a rake, that struggle bar about coating things in sugar 😂
he loves giving 2 of the big 3's a lot of 3s
They are held to a high standard and miss the mark a lot
J Cole had one 3
@nickpeterson2424 You think Cole misses alot??
@@tateihuhwa9089contrary, don’t think he “misses” a lot. Just feel like he doesn’t really meet expectations. Like 2014 FHD is alright but the way some people talk about it you’d think they discovered the Rosetta Stone when it’s kinda… meh? Not a complete miss but not groundbreaking or anything like that at all
It's kind of half and half. He's got some amazing hits on there like apparently and no role modelz, as well as love yourz. I love a lot of the songs on the album, but it's not my favorite album of his
In the average: Drake is usually 4-5/10, Cole is 6/10 and Kendrick is 8/10
Giving Forest Hills Drive a "Strong 5 to Light 6" is pretty much where he lost all my respect for his opinions lmao. Some of the other albums he ranked lower I enjoyed but I could understand why some people dont enjoy em, givng 2014 Forest Hills Drive that low is either clear bias or lack of knowledge on hip hop.
Honestly I think FHD is a bit overrated but it’s definitely atleast a 7-8 I also thought he was too harsh on might delete later
He knows a shit ton about hip hop, this guy is very knowledgeable about so many genres, honestly what tells me whether someone is really for the culture is if they don’t think fhd isn’t mediocre, some yall just got ears that are way to easy to please and that’s how we end up with drakes and gunnas
@@Angel_3kidiotic statement. For clarity, kendrick only has 1 album to date that gets more streams weekly than FHD. What makes cole so appealing is his relatability, he’s become probably the most relatable rapper in history, we can all relate to him and part of the reason FHD is so good, that’s probably one of the only albums in hip hop that you can listen to on the way to work, on the way home, smokin a blunt? whatever tf u doin u can bump fhd and chill. Tpab u can’t do that (it’s a whole ass lecture hence why fhd gets more streams today)
@@adzappin_2567 dunno why you brought up streams but that’s just a whatever point. And now we’re judging quality off of whether I relate to this rapper or not? I can relate to dozens of other songs and rappers and they outrap him and out produce him, hell I relate to more Kendrick songs then I do Cole. And adding onto that, fhd is an easy listen like so many other albums. Smoking a blunt, walking to work, at work, you could listen to the college dropout, good kid maad city, black on both sides, Aquemini, enter the Wu tang, low end theory, they can be enjoyed thoughtfully and casually, fhd isn’t special and neither is cold. He’s good, a great rapper in fact, but if his talents stem from his relatability and when he’s allowed to be played I think there’s something to be questioned about with his praise. Also, tpab has songs that aren’t study necessary, alright, king kunta, Wesley’s theory, these walls, like I listen to many relatable songs that have way more interesting production and writing then fhd, and I used to listen to that a ton 2 years agk
@@Angel_3khe definitely knows his stuff, I sometimes think he's a bit hard on cole. But he usually makes good points. Imo 2014 fhd isn't cole's best album it's like his 3rd or 4th best imo. But people have different music taste, and even though I like cole's music more than kendricks, I still see kendrick as a more talented artist
If Drake had named his album “To Pimp A Minor” I think Fantano would have given it a 10/10
Even though no one should treat the rotten cantaloupe's opinions as gospel-
when your "weakest" album listed is the Black Panther collab soundtrack, *you know you're on a whole other level.*
It's the difference between McDonald's, to a chain restaurant like Olive Garden, and then you got the premium restaurant that you can only have in one place in the world
For all the dogs is not in the same level as K.O.D 2014 FHD💀💀💀
I disagree with this guy about many things, but I honestly can’t disagree with him on most of these ratings and that’s a great thing in my eyes. It shows that mediocre or trash or whatever isn’t going to get praised or appreciation, the bare minimum isn’t celebrated, which is perfectly shown in his Drake reviews and some Cole reviews.
Kendrick is better than Drake and J Cole but his treatment of drake’s classics and Cole’s great albums is absurd and disgusting.
Fr well said
Thanks for doing this bro, but if you were to do something like this again, you should put album titles and year in the video when they show up. Just a little critique. I couldn’t care less about the watermark, jsyk
Tbh j cole is in the middle of the three he’s obviously second, the thing that makes him better than drake is that’s his calm Andy humble he doesn’t like drama, and he has more iconics than drakes and even if drake has more iconics j cole still has harder songs and hard work, even tho I’m a Kendrick fan I still take some time to appreciate this mans work, he went from underrated to overrated because of the j cole fans that never maid j coles picture look good, but if you add Kendrick’s work compared to j coles work Kendrick just has better albums.
hence why hes the middle child
You think Cole is overrated? I understand a lil, but to me it always seemed like Cole's discography doesn't really paint his true picture, like someone once said to me "Kendrick is more of the prodigy and Cole is the guy who put in 10000 hours of work into his craft." Now on top of that Dot has put in his 10000 too, but it is also the reason Cole has shown more growth. Dot is one of the true GOATS, but Cole sits with the all time greats. He truly is our Andre 3k
“He constantly sounds silly”, damn did fantano say it first?
For all the dogs better than nothing was the same?? 😂😂😂😂
Nothing was a the same gets way more credit than it deserves
If Dot made NWTS melon would have rated it higher than TPAB

Not cool homie, make your own takes and create your own following instead of leeching off others
I never understood why fantano says kendrick has at least 3 better projects than damn when kendrick only had 3 ALBUMS
He’s including the TPAB untitled album
Did you loop the video? It's just Kendrick reviews all 3 times.
Just to say 6:33 is the first mention of kendrick which tells you whos the best out of them all. AND 9:48 to the end is all kendrick
TPAB the goat as usual 🔥
The fact we see a yellow flannel significantly before the last red flannel is Wrinkling my brain
I don't understand why he dislikes Might Delete Later so much
Its really good
It is booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring
This is all good but putting might delete later that low is crazy
Does Melon not age?
Hes a god, he cant age
Yall give drake too much credit, he is only a commercial success because he makes universally good generic music lol so much so everyone loves, hes an artist you can depend on to be the same fr, the only thing he ever changes is the beats which he doesnt even make 😂
I still don’t understand the hate for might delete later vs the love for the off-season. MDL felt like Off-season part two or maybe the tracks that didn’t make it onto off-season. It gave me more of what I wanted from Cole. He’s just mad because of the anti-trans bar.
it sounds like offseason outtakes. just worse in every way
@@Ty-oe4dr I think I enjoyed it because of my expectations. The Off-Season is my 2nd favorite J Cole project. I do think it's his best performance overall. The off season felt like more of what I already like about the last 4 years of Cole.
@@Ty-oe4drexplain how ??
A light 3 for might delete later is insane
How you give DAMN a worst note than Untitled Unmastered, I like both but UU is literally musics that were not good enough or didn’t fit well on TPAB.
Also, DAMN is extremely underrated
Also, he gave Certified Lover Boy a 3, but said that it got older better than Donda did
Also, he said basically said that The Off-Season is better than 2014HD AND 4YEO, like, how you listen to 4YEO and says that this is not his best project?
uu definitely has a case for being better but both great projects, i feel like fantano sortve rates albums based on the artists discographies so a 7 for kendrick might be like an 8 or even a 9 for another artist
DAMN is literally his most streamed
I never understood people who say it’s underrated bruh u can’t just say that cuz u see it get hate once a lot of people rank DAMN very highly imo it’s slightly overrated even tho FEEL, FEAR and PRIDE r some of my fav songs
@@skyrrmish6207 Without saying songs from Damn I can say this is a criminally underrated project, cause is has two ways to listen, that is the original order and the collectors edition order, and like, the story a new meaning depending on which order you listen to it!

Yes actually
Almost 2 minutes from the end before Kendrick appears.
And it's literally the one he got the Pulitzer for.
Let's be honest here Kendrick is the only solo rap artist ever to put out an album that has 0 skips.
theres others but i get your point
now y'all glazing fantano, but remember he said mbdtf is a 6:))
Did he ever rank Thank Me Later by Drake?
according to his rym he gave it a 4/10
Cole is a better rapper and Kendrick is a better storyteller I love em both this my opinion
Makes sense. Drake is trash.
It shouldve just been Kendrick, there is no big 3, its just him, see?
Your doing jumping jacks on it
Your corny asf
Giving DAMN a 7 is…….weird.
It’s a good rating honestly. It’s glazed a ton rn. For me it’s an 8.5, but 7 isn’t as bad
It’s a 6 but the songs that hit for me really hit
Calling 2014 forest hills drive a 5 or 6 makes this entire video completely irrelevant. Sure Kendrick’s music does stand above the rest but most of Anthony Fantanos opinions have been pretty garbage overall imo
