Drake is the most commercially successful, J. Cole is more of a true Mc but Kendrick is actually the more talented and better overall artist. Honestly, it’s really between Kendrick and J. Cole. But thats like comparing bob Dylan to Freddie mercury. Obviously bob Dylan had a reputation for his song writing but it’s pretty obvious who was more talented between them. Kendrick is way better even if he’s had co writers on some of his tracks
But because Kendrick’s name honestly isn’t as big as Cole and drake they are known amongst all populations not just die hard rap fans a lot of people haven’t hear this
Will Smith sold 12 million Copies of his album in 1997, so he defenetly was the most popular at that time, but i never hear nobody ever put him in his top 5. If you ask people who has the most impact in 97 probably they will say Biggie or Wu Tang and they didnt sell nearly as much as will that year. No hate to will but just sayin.
Ik art is subjective but seeing j cole and Kendrick’s lyrical work using literature and historical Moments and people it makes Drake’s music look like kids bop shit
They’re all goated in their own way but I can’t see Kendrick losing something like this. He’s not the most popular of the “big 3” but imo he’s the best. Plus idk how they’re gonna diss Kendrick.. the only thing they can say is that he isn’t as consistent with dropping as drake and cole. But when Kendrick does drop, what cole or drake are doing doesn’t matter anymore if we’re being honest. And cole was lying about Kendrick’s albums. Regardless of how you feel about them, neither cole nor drake have a TPAB or even a DAMN level album. They really don’t.
Yeah not too mention GKMC which is um arguably his best album tbh. Although DAMN and TPAB were exceptionally great albums as well. Of course TPAB is really regarded his best album but you can’t talk about DAMN and TPAB without mentioning GKMC. Really is most replayed album tbh
Well… im here after J Cole just apologized to Kendrick live on stage… Cole fans yall can hold this L together cause we told yall he really didn’t want the smoke 😂😂😂
Bro Cole is a legend even if you think kdot is better. You can say shit about drake all you want, but the worst you can say about Cole is that he’s a carebear with bars
@@Khalilneverhated you do not understand rap . He is rated because he is so talented that even DRE JAY NAS ETC all respect how good his pen is . Kendrick is that good. You can’t argue with that. Drake doesn’t write all his raps. J Cole might be his only rival. After what Cole just said on stage aswell ✌️
The big 3 is on fire shots are getting thrown on the mic it's a game of thrones Cole is the Hardest MC right now , All My Life went N1, Bigger Than What went N1 7min Drill probably gotta go N1 bro drop an album while being on tour with Drizzy and still Working on two others albums including the highly anticipated project The Fall Off right now he's like Muhammad Ali, Dreamville festival is OTW Cole is on his prime
Drake has 200 hit songs though these guys both got like 10 a piece if that , ken and Cole better though talent wise but if it’s a about hit I think drakes has more hits than anyone in any genre ever look it up
0:45 And this is why LeBron James was ejected from all serious GOAT debates…..not to mention that LeBron is referred to as LeBalco nor that LeBron James was swept in the 2007 NBA Finals….even AI got one in ‘01. Year 2007 was LeBron’s 4th season and 2001 was only Iverson’s 5th season. No wonder Allen Iverson wanted to be “like Mike”.
*THIS IS VIDEO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH* LeBron James (LJ) and for the record LJ got the Triple Crown in 12,13 NBA MVP, Finals MVP and Champion and was arguably the DPOY in 2012 & 2013 while playing with D Wade & C Bosh. Stay or leave nobody wins Championships alone, nobody. Warning shot
The kid from Degrassi, and a Military Base Baby. Rap Debating. Are we looking at what matters (Lyrics) or are we looking for Sales. Compton, Birth of Gangsta Rap. Not hotline bling, or no role modelz. It's M.A.A.D. City🤫
There NEVER was a BIG 3. That was a narrative created to help legitimize DRAKE as a true MC. Which he NEVER WAS. 💯💯💯 Wale write’s all his rap and NEVER backed down from a challenge. Don’t believe me check ouy ‘Ground Hogs Day (video extended)’ where he responds to J Cole’s ‘False Prophet’ song. And check out the classic ‘Winters scheme’ track where Wale SMOKES COLE! 🔥🔥🔥
This is a hilarious take 😂😂. Drake being apart of the "Big 3"??? Get real, he definitely is the most notable in terms of popularity bc he copies the flows, lyrics, and style of other rappers who've garnered coin. No real hate, just an astute observation, and that's not to say his music isn't listenable or known. I enjoy his features and some songs of his. BUT Kdot and Cole are both more influential. No Role Modelz & DAMN. are both known in rap & hip-hop communities as some of the best albums to be released in our time today. Both of them have a notable and extensive discography. And I don't mean in terms of streams or sales, but down to the artistry of these rappers. Lyrics for lyrics, bar for bar, entendre for entendre. If we were to go for a popularity contest, Kendrick has the most Grammy's, but let someone start Wet Dreamz with no music playing, the song is like encoded in DNA. But the same could be said for B**ch Don't Kill My Vibe. I personally don't even think that Kendrick was throwing real shade towards Cole, but the fact he was in cahoots with Aubrey? He caught a stray shot. That's just my take on it, I listen to all of them so idc what the deal is with the beef. Just like some people listen to 50 and Jadakiss, or KRS-ONE and Marly Marl, or a more known one like Pac and Biggie. Stop dick riding celebrities who wouldn't do the same for you bc at the end of the day, the day gotta end ✌🏾
On another note, who tf is considering Jay Z as the BIG 3 of the 90's?? Seek help lmao. The only song known by that man is Hard Knock Life and his verses on Bey's Drunk in Love and on Run This Town. Pac and Biggie are def on there, but I feel that's only bc of the beef between Pac and Bad Boy Records. There should be a real deep dive into just how extensive the game got with East and West coast influences came about. Bone Thugs N' Harmony? Warren G? NWA? Dre? Eminem? Pac? Niggas from the Louisiana-Florida Scene?The Atlanta scene? Yeah, just to compare the most conversed about doesn't make them a part of any Big 3 lol.
This generations Big 3: Kendrick, J Cole, and Drake Last Generations Big 3: Eminem, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne 90’s Big 3: Tupac, Biggie, and Nas Don’t get twisted this is law
Only to whites. I know yall don't like youngboy but yall will be on his nuts 10 to 15 years like yall was on wayne. Three propped up dorky backpack rappers shoved down while shiesty had niggas wearing masks. No one copies thsm for a reason. Why do you think drake gotta be rapping with guy like lil baby, to get niggas to bump him as a feature.
Kendrick and Cole hands down better rappers but Drake is the king of music he’s got more hits than anyone in any genre ever and that’s a fact. Ion like Drake though but he’s got more success than both Cole and Kendrick.
this whole beef got old already it’s getting annoying now ive been listening to 90’d rap all 3 of them have now got old and annoying to me and i was a heavy kdot fan but now its eh
Literally just more bs rap drama being made because there is no rap drama right now 😂😂Kendrick has nowhere near the skills of Drake or J. Cole but that's completely besides the point.
Lyrically... J. Cole is waaaaay ahead of them... only Eminem can beat J. Cole lyrically. Drake has the best sound and international image Kendrick has more styles and best clash/battle image.
The big 3 of what? Goofy Town? Drake is the Canadian Diddy, J Cole is a weirdo and Kendrick is a straight up goofy. This is rap for tik tok 14 yr olds. "3 Most Overrated rappers of all time" could be another title to this video.

yuno miles
Wendy’s McDonalds and Burger King
Tekashi69, Lil Pump and YBN Nahmir🙌🏼
Big Sean,j.cole, kendrick lamar
Lil Wayne, Mac Miller and Kanye
Competition is good, each one of those rappers should feel like they are number 1
this is what we need in hip hop right now. good healthy comp and with REAL RAP and lyrics bars all of that. Im here for it.
Kendrick has the best discography, Drake has the most hits, J. Cole has the best features
Jcoles biggest songs dont have features + a lot of his albums are really underrated to the point i would argue about cole having best discography

😂😂 I'm Weakk
Even Obama knew Kendrick’s on top
😂😂😂
The industry build drake ...kendrick and cole build them selfs from the ground up
Underrating drakes pen, makes no sense since he’s the most battle tested of the 3. J Cole and Kendrick never been in direct rap battles
Let's wait for Drake response Disstrack it might be hard like back to Back and Duppy Freestyle
Well… im here after J Cole just apologized to Kendrick live on stage… Cole fans yall can hold this L together cause we told yall he really didn’t want the smoke 😂😂😂
You owe j cole an apology. Dude didnt have any enemies
Kendrick really makes Coles and Drake penmanship look like toddlers in comparison to his
Eh Cole has some clever bars and multiple double entendres that are pretty nice
Not just that, also flow, tonality, voice control, rhythm and musicality all superior
Stop it
