THE BIG 3
THE BIG 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the pantheon of rhyme, where legends intertwine,
Three emcees blaze trails, so divine.
Kendrick, Drake, & Cole, in that revered line,
Emcees crafting worlds, beyond the baseline.4
First, Kendrick Lamar, Compton’s lyrical son,
A poet, a prophet, rolled into one.
His verses, dense forests, where light & shadow play,
Tackling life's contradictions, in a brilliant array.8
Kendrick Lamar, with his lyrical finesse,
With verses that never seem to stress.
"Good Kid, M.A.D City," a masterpiece told,
A journey through streets, where truths unfold.¹²
Second, sail to the North, where Drake reigns supreme,
From "Degrassi" to "God’s Plan," a mainstream dream.
He is a master of melody and flow,
His hits and bangers, all crowds aglow.¹6
A chameleon of sound, from R&B to rap's core,
Crafting anthems of love, loss, & much more.
Views from all round the globe, far & wide,
Drake’s vulnerabilities shows he does not hide.²°
Juggernaut of hits, charts bending to his will,
In the kingdom of music, Drake sits tranquil.²²
Thirdly, J. Cole, the sage from Fayetteville,
Stories woven with wisdom, truths that thrill.
J. Cole, with wisdom beyond his years,
Dropping truths that resonate, calming fears.²6
“Forest Hills Drive,” his opus, pure and clear,
A mirror to the soul, for those who dare to hear.
No feature needed, his narrative alone,
Casting light on shadows, society has grown.³°
Together, these three, a trinity of might,
Their words, their rhythms, set the night alight.
So here's to The Big 3, in all their glory,
Masters of their craft, each with his own story.³4
Though he has so many questionable moments,
From album flops to personal mishaps,³6
But from the consensus, Drake has the hits,
Kendrick is #1 bcos of the albums & the diss,
Cole, 3rd, has the lyrics & the dope flows.³?
Albums are like championships, it holds more weight.
May their verses continue to inspire and amaze,
In rap's grandeur, their names forever blaze.4²
