Which trio is better as far as rapping and which Trio is more legendary. I know my answer but I was born in the 80's so ofcourse. But I want to hear what the rest of yall think

Obviously the trio of jay z eminem and wayne

You spelled Nas wrong

Drake, kendrick and cole got the better discography

J Cole doesn't deserve to be mentioned here

This thread makes my head hurt

Kendrick is the only one who can hold his own against the three he going against. Jaynem easily.

Drake has no business on that list of rappers. It’s a slap in the face. Pure rapping right? Yea please take him off

You def smoked crack before you made this post!

Nut-In-Honeys said J Cole doesn't deserve to be mentioned here

yall be sleeping on cole

There should just be a kung fu kenny vs eminem thread made.

By one of they stanleys of course.

Drake is not a rapper. Other side wins by default

Cole Drake and Kendrick because I would much rather listen to any of them over Eminem.

Edit: I should’ve read first but I stand on it still. I think Cole Kendrick and Drake are the better 3. But the odds aren’t in their favor because Bx hates rappers who are popular and younger than them.

Better discography than Wayne and Em. Debatable with Jay. Kdot a legend in his own right but nostalgia is a mental illness so you spend your time trolling instead of appreciating music. Couldn't be me.

The mural that’s in the screencap
I saw it a few hours ago in downtown Raleigh

Jayz and Kendrick the best two...
Then eminem....then wayne...then drake and Cole

i undertand and dont understand that statement at the same time if that makes sense. if you listen you know drake can rap (yes actually rap and write his own sh*t) but he has chosen creatively to not go full rapper and collaborate, but youre out of your mind if you dont think drake could drop a straight rap album and sh*t on the whole game. he just doesn't have that desire or motivation to do so

Cole is the nastiest of his trio Lyrically


Fck is u even talking bout

tough question to ask. you have to be real specific. older heads like jay z and eminem have the advantage because they came first. by default they should be considered more legendary. rapping is tough because they all can rap but today's game doesn't lean on that as much. sh*t look at eminem then to now. he's already tried to adjust to todays climate and failed. everyone is more melodic and the stress isn't on lyrics. i'd be curious to see how a cole, kenrick or drake would of been if they came up at same time. i still lean jay em and wayne cause they have proven they can do it all and still be relevant. need more years to see where cole, kendrick and drake stand

Only Kendrick can measure to those 3 and I already think he's better than Wayne in certain criteria while Wayne has him beat in some others.

The other 2, however, makes the latter the only obvious answer. Cole is good but has no certified classic to his name and is painfully generic. KRIT is a better Cole than Cole tbh minus the commercial success.

Drake is a great crossover rapper: sorta like a modern day Nelly or a watered down Kanye. He's not really a true emcee though and his best albums(Take Care, NWTS) don't compare to Jay or Em's best. Wayne is slightly debatable because his mixtapes are better than his albums but I think C2 is the best album between Drake's and Wayne's so there's that.

Also, the latter 3 reached lyrical highs in emceeing that Kendrick is still learning from to this day.

He can rap but Drake is in that Kanye/Diddy/Dre lane where it's no secret that he's more of a rap vocalist who can deliver dope bars rather than a true writer/lyricist.

Dre has one of the GOAT voices in hip hop imho but I wouldn't compare him to Pac and Biggie just off that.

I think Drake is a GOAT crossover rap star but definitely not one you can put in a GOAT discussion without making a distinction between emcees/lyricists and artists/vocalists.

Dre can be a goat producer with ghost producers

But drake can’t be in the goat rapper conversation because of ghost writers

thats a fair statement based on what he has done but i still think drake has that classic in him. but we'll never get it so you are right in this discussion

FrivolousSports said Dre can be a goat producer with ghost producers But drake can’t be in the goat rapper conversation because of ghost writers

i think people don't realize how much drake actually writes. when he does his crossover sh*t yeah he has a bunch of ghost writers. but when he's just spittin it's typically just him. hes not at a dre/diddy level. im not sure where that puts him in the bigger/goat conversation but people need to at least acknowledge he can write his own sh*t
