FERG has proclaimed that he belongs in the upper echelon of rappers in the game today alongside the likes of Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole.
The former A$AP Mob member makes the bold assertion on “DAROLD,” the title track from his new album which was released Friday (November 8).
“Who the top rappers, hmm? / Kendrick, J. Cole, any list, I’m on that,” he raps over airy, ominous production from Kash Beats, Powers Pleasant, Tweek Tune and Manny Laurenko.
Elsewhere on the song, FERG namedrops a number of other rap legends while revealing his biggest influences: “I’m a bit of Busta, Common, Hova, Dark Man X, put ’em all in a bag.”
FERG isn’t the only player in the game to have thoughts on the so-called “Big Three” of Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and Drake.
At the height of the high-profile battle involving all three earlier this year, Doja Cat jokingly proposed a drastic revision to the lineup, asking her X (formerly Twitter) followers: “HOW is Pitbull not in the big 3?????????”
When then asked who her “Big Three” is made up of, she replied: “Pitbull, Chingy, and Baby Bash.”
Taking a more serious approach, Vince Staples criticized streaming companies for seeking to capitalize on the tension between Kendrick, Drake and Cole.
“We have every songwriter that we’ve ever had in Hip Hop music complaining about their publishing splits, but we kind of don’t pay attention to that,” he said on The Joe Budden Podcast.
“But once n-ggas get mad, the whole internet is activated and we got billboards from streamers talking about, ‘Hip Hop is a sport.’ But we ain’t never seen a billboard from a streamer that said, ‘Give that n-gga his publishing back.’”
He added: “Why are we at war with the n-gga that’s making a song and not the motherfucker who owns the whole thing? We don’t say their name at all. We quiet when they do some fuck shit.”
On his chart-topping collaboration with Future and Metro Boomin, “Like That,” Kendrick rubbished the very idea of a “Big Three,” confidently rapping: “Motherfuck the big three, n-gga, it’s just big me.”
Haha no. “Ferg” sucks
Nobody even knows who he is
Cole is definitely nice. Ferg and LAMEr are absolute doo doo just like the entire corny, cringy, pathetic, embarrassing, wannabe, pretending, laughable, fraudulent, non-credible DuncecapD/X SHIT staff
Ironically enough, this is one of the first times you’ve ever expressed an opinion on here that’s hip hop related without directly trolling/harassing the godforsaken staff. How does it feel? You should voice your opinions about the music more often. It’s far more entertaining. Might even be liberating and cathartic for you. It’s mad hypocritical to bitch about no articles being hip hop related when all you do the majority of the time is mercilessly criticize and troll this site’s employees whilst talking about nothing remotely related to hip hop.
Hey New Order, Castor Green, Scarfys Mom and your other 150 corny names but as we all already know better known as the 47 year old virgin and delusional sewer rat Bernadett Giacumazzo I didn’t post that. Someone very intelligent just copied my lines about this atrocious azz staff and commented that and I love all my fans. My posts about you and this azz staff are growing like wildfire Bernie 🔥🔥. It’s a gigantic b0ulder rolling down a hill that you have tried (and of course failed to stop) for over three years😭😭 But Bernie you still ain’t answer my question. Have you peeped that LSA thread about you yet? It’s monumental material 😭😭
God, You’re sick.
@Helen aka Karen aka Scarfy aka New Order aka Casor Greener aka your other 150 corny names but as we all already know bka Bernie the G00FY Giacumazzo….I’m not as sick as you tho Bernie. Nobody is. You’re the ultimate basketcase, the mental case of all mental cases and your 5 suspended X accounts and numerous freelance firings are sure fire proof of that. I’m playing chess Bernie you still on the checkerboard you gotta catch up. You’re fully unemployed (as you have been for the majority of your useIess pitiful 47 year existence since freelancing a bunch of irrelevant bullshlt that everyone laughs at and never reads isn’t real employment)
and got ran off X for the umpteenth time so I know you got plenty of time to catch up to my level. The wildest part is that as much as I’ve been lighting your delulu, ugly azz up for years now it’s actually very small compared to how they do you on X and on that LSA thread. They really OBLITERATING you on those platforms Bernie it’s the most entertaining and FACTUAL shlt I have ever seen 🤣🤭👀👀
You are insanely paranoid bruh. You really think the people who work here would bother dignifying your dumb ass with a response. Sounds like they fired you huh? Get over it. It’s not the end of the world. UPS is hiring.
