I don’t see how this is inspired by Drake at all except maybe for Fever. Drake has never in his LIFE rapped as good across an entire project as Cole is doing on this project. Cole as a lyricist is on an entirely different level right now. He’s outstripping Drake in flow & delivery as well. Subject matter is also entirely different than the average Drake project

You don't hear IYRTITL Drake in some of these songs?

A lot of the subject matter in these songs overlaps with Drakes usual content about opp talk, can't trust anyone, I'm bigger than everyone, no one fukking with me bars, etc. Cole clearly left the conscious and self righteous preachy shyt behind here.

I'm not mad at it though. I see Cole getting better with time and he absolutely needed to make more fun music like this than his usual stuff.

Whoa now brother. :whoa:

Bro this man’s improvement is next level. He believes he’s the best and he SOUNDS like it. This is his Nas in 96 moment where he just can’t be fukked with and the more elite the MC the higher he’ll step it up.


He’s the best rapper in the game right now. I love J.Cole but I NEVER thought i’d say that. There was always someone slightly better. I can’t say that anybody outside of Nas is fukking with Cole on the mic and really Nas shouldn’t be included in this convo because he’s a legend.


Blu is dropping music. Cole is better

Ransom is dropping music. Cole is better

Roc Marciano is dropping music. Cole is better

Benny is dropping music. Cole is better

Schoolboy Q is dropping music. Cole is better


This man worked his way into being BETTER than almost everyone

We can agree to disagree. I think Ran can give him a run for his money :hubie: and he's hinted that he's wanted him on verses so he could test that and got declined.

That's not what I said

Kendrick isn't a gangster

Mos Def ain't a gangster

Lupe ain't a gangster

When all you do is grow up in the suburbs and wanna be a rapper, we get dudes like J Cole, Logic, and Jack Harlow

And I think Logic is incredibly corny....but I imagine he sells, and I think he's better at making songs and raps his off, but why isn't he included in the big 3?

Because dudes just started running with it

I don't like Logic as a person, but I
Jack Harlow and J Cole make boring music

I think Drake does the same shyt, but he's shown the capacity to make memorable music out of his mundane experiences

breh this shyt has had the whole crib shaking...."monotonous" he says :why:
and they talking THAT SHYT on every track :wtf:
I mean it was cool. Cole just has a certain type of sound that he comfortable with.

But I listened to it on an hour drive and the only thing that really stood out production wise was ready 24 and 7 minute drill :manny:

Ain't nothing about J. Cole better than Roc Marci or Benny 🤣...Ransom ehh debatable MAYBE but IDK.

The issue I and many others used to (or still do) have with Cole is that either his production is lacking or he tries too hard to be “deep/conscious” in the most transparent way that turns people off from his music.
