Who’s the New Big 3 of Rap? | Billboard Unfiltered

In this episode of ‘Billboard Unfiltered,’ Billboard staffers Carl Lamarre, Trevor Anderson and Kyle Denis debate who the new big three of rap are, why Tommy Richman’s debut album failed, the current state of R&B and more!

Carl Lamarre:

Uzi was in those conversations, I feel like Lil Baby was in those conversations as well.

Trevor Anderson:

You know, A&R Twitter, PR Twiiter, management Twitter is sitting there thinking “what?”

Kyle Denis:

The artists are the issue, because there have been major R&B moments I feel like in recent years.

Carl Lamarre:

Hey, what’s going on guys. Welcome to a fresh episode of ‘Billboard Unfiltered,’ and we have the gang here. Trevor Anderson, Kyle Denis.

Kyle Denis:

Yo, yo, yo.

Carl Lamarre:

No Damien Scott. He is on the mend but will be back. We want to start the show because I know you were out.

Trevor Anderson:

I didn’t want to say it, but…

Carl Lamarre:

We got to do a quick “happy birthday” seg, you know, a little sing-along. 

Trevor Anderson:

What, a little two-part harmony?

Kyle Denis & Carl Lamarre:

*singing*

Carl Lamarre:

I could’ve gone all the way in. Wow, we gave you a little something, something.

Kyle Denis:

We’re giving you a little tease. We’re thinking of all the viewers right now.

Trevor Anderson:

Yeah, first show was, you’re old, and yeah it was a really good one. There was no crazy sort of all in one, but there was a couple events throughout a couple different days. Got to hang out with a lot of different friends.

Keep watching for more!
