Exactly. It is what it is.

Nah, a lot of peoples' reading comprehension is shyt, which comes as no surprise as all in the booth.

I clearly stated in the first sentence that Cole and Lamar are nowhere near as good as Rakim/BDK and Nas/Jay Z. The comparison is that I'm saying Cole/Lamar are the two most prominent standout lyricists that have hip-hop purist base credentials as well as mainstream viability in today's era.

I never said they are as comparably as good as the other two pairings, and I made it a note to say otherwise and people are still acting like I equated their talent or quality of product.

So to people who deride the thread premise, why don't you fill in the blanks and state who comes closest to filling the roles of a Rakim/BDK or Nas/Jay Z in today's era? If you don't have an answer, My claim stands.

KENDRICK is ibetter than Kane... some of ya'll nikkas just talk to talk. Im from Brooklyn, have met Kane in person, have met Scoob in person and still wil say that. Kendrick is Just as goiod as Nas and Jay and Ra, stop being stuck in the past. what have they said thats SoOOOOOOO untouchable. He's an amazing hip hop artist. Mind u Kdot aint my fave. But I give it up where its due... nikkas hold rappers to standards which are not even fukking realistic now.

Good Kid Mad City, and his first three joints are fukking incredible. hes dope and hes evolving the game. Hes a legend already. U gon say GKMC aint a classic? seriously? yall nikkas micro manage this shyt and squeeze all the fun out the artform.That shyt aint better than Long Live the Kane? for real? Just cuz some shyt old dont mean its flawless. rap is a time capsule. Kdot that nikka,

J cole is for lames i wont even address him, if u like him then i know ur a lame. cuz he aint got a real nikka bone in his body.

Suck a dikk bytch...

Drake would be Kwame from the 80s and Mase from the 90s

Even though Drake has nothing close to good as this

 

[ISO]

Nikkas think Drake is going to fade on some 50 Cent/Nelly/Ja Rule shyt, it ain't happening.

Also GKMC is better than Diplomatic Immunity

J cole .......Im gonna go with no

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

I think some people are losing the point that J. Cole isn't being compared to Jay & NaS so much as he is being measured against the current new talent in the game

Correct. What is so hard to understand about this?

 

[ManBearPig]

Imma go ahead and say it.

Kendrick Lamar >> Big Daddy Kane

Its extremely hard to measure that. J.Cole is what Nas was without being anywhere as good.

Kendrick Lamar >> Big Daddy Kane

Cant be compared until his career is over or at least 10yrs from now whichever comes first

lets stick to current artists

Like Drake, Wayne, Ross, Jeezy etc

OK then

Kendrick is a better writer and song maker. BDK might be a better free styler tho
