His music is No where near as classic either. Remember, Nas made his classic Illmatic at a time where almost everybody had to have rhyme skills to get a deal. Now, rarely do you find a new mc with skills so so-called classics of today aren't compared to much. There is a shortage of TALENT
It's crazy how closely Kendrick & Drake is mirroring Jay-Z & Nas

loc, Kenny got some shytty lyrics... but none as shytty as "Nacho cheese I'm Castro" or "I unfold the scroll" or a multitude of other shytty ass bars from naS. Illmatic was the blueprint to the industry plant shyt.
He was 3 times platinum and 2 times platinum while other artists like Em, 50, Mariah, some rock groups, pop groups etc were doing 5-6 million or Usher 9 million.
To compare over time we need a relative scale, anyone with half a brain can comprehend that. Since today millions of people play Kendricks shyt on various streaming services and illegal downloads. How do you think Wiz Khalifa can make 10M in a year if his album is doing Yung Gunz #s.

How? Kendrick and Nas both dropped classic debuts, they are more comparable skill wise than Cole. In terms of subject matter they are more comparable.
Cole in no ways stacks up to Nas, just because he's a stan doesn't mean he's Nas.
This thread is very on point I've said this many times.

I aint gon even lie I mustve skimmed your original post like a mafuka
...After I actually read it I agree almost 100%
...But you don't think Nas kinda fell into the background with all the commercial rap that we had at the time?the window I think was short after Ether where I think you could say Nas was definitely at the forefront.Heres another parallel I'll add though,I think Nas had his chance to take the game completely right after Ether dropped when he was on his cocky shyt dissing everybody
...but then he apologized for his actions and kinda fell back.I think Kendrick had his chance after Control when everybody was going crazy,and he too kinda fell back failing to instead of work the hype train.
Dap because I been saying this for a minute. The comparison is undeniable.
It's always someone that lets the whole point fly over they head tho, like this:

How can anybody in these current times where people listen to an album and then move on.
The Hip Hop scene has changed.

This is laughable, Kendrick's pro-black and conscious songs shyt all over Cole's...

I never forgot Kendrick saying this tho:
"when we don’t have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us?"
As if we all dont respect ourselves. Lowkey it also gives racist whites a pass.
Also with him giving Iggy Azelea a pass. Saying "God wants" here to "do her thing,"
