Future is definitely a legend and top 5 millenial rapper no matter how you look at it. Influential as hell and sold like crazy, outlasted guys like Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, Young Thug and ASAP Rocky who also saw massive success but not Big 3 level.
Future “as a artist” > Drake, J.Cole & Kendrick Lamar

That’s actually a good take bro and im not knocking nobody who feels K.Dot is the better artist its what you prefer at that point.
We know Kendrick gon get his props, as well as J.Cole and Drake but Future always the one left out for some reason.
That’s kinda what was this thread is mainly about

I think future gets his props when people talk impact and sales - like the big thread we had on here about 10’s mt Rushmore most people had him or nicki as the 4th, he’s not forgotten. But future really ain’t a good rapper, I be trying to listen intently to his shyt and very few verses does he put together a coherent story, just a bunch of lines punched in, one or two may be clever. So when we have the convo about being a top artist in sales and actually ability to rap, then yea, he gets left out.

Yes the hell it is
Let’s go down the list Nas has 11 projects in the time it took Kendrick to drop 6
Jay Z released all 13 of his albums in the time it took Kendrick to drop 6
We don’t even gotta bring up Pac
Drake has 9 albums since 2010
Cole is the only one who has as low of an album count with 6 since 2010, and to his credit he’s developed a fairly successful label and put out four posse cuts since 2014
If people can disqualify 3 stacks cause he didn’t record enough we can say the same for Kendrick
And skill and lyricism matter but so do hits. Eminem can’t be the goat if no one actually hears his music outside and it’s the same for Kendrick. Same thing with Hov and Nas, Nas def a better rapper based on pure ability but he could never make hits like Hov. That versatility matters
real shyt…
was his connection to dungeon family known early on in his career?…regardless, it makes sense why he outlasted his peers…
future from legendary soil…

i'm glad you are categorizing him as an artist
because as a rapper, he is absolute poo stain

Been a future fan since day 1 (can check my post history) but naw …
Fear can arguably be one of the greatest songs ever created
March madness IS one of the greatest songs of all time

Remove the mainstream audience all of these artists have, and its obvious that Future is the one who is the biggest out of all of them when it comes to purely hip hop.
Hes the one you will consistently hear more than any of these artists outside, and its been like that for over 10 years.
