Drake is Drake and J. Cole is for casuals

Why are y’all fake surprised

If this was 2013 everyone would choose J. Cole to go. Cole still feeds his fans pretty often, ROTD3 just came out

Why not 2014 or 2015? Why 2013?

Outside of Cole being for casuals, this.

GKMC was his most accessible project, came out late 2012 and bled into 2013, i was in like 7th-8th grade during that time and Kendrick was HUGE to everyone

TPAB was too different for mainstream listeners, it had acclaim and real fans loved it but the casuals ain’t rock with it

Edit: and Cole ain’t become a phenom til FHD came out, EVERYONE hopped on that bandwagon and he’s been going strong since

Fake surprised as in y’all already knew the outcome but wanna talk about it like it’s topic worthy, anyone could’ve guessed people would choose Kendrick, it’s 2019

Exactly, if this was 2017 when damn dropped they would be saying Cole
don’t really care about what brehs born in 2000 gotta say about rap. most of them are casuals

I was born in 2000 but I’m a music head

These dudes ain’t really fans of the music they just listen to what’s hot, they’re teenage athletes

Kendrick ain’t drop a solo since 2017, and DAMN was HUGE, but people just wanna try an run wit an anti Kendrick narrative

Which is why I asked why 2013 specifically. Cole dropped 2014 FHD and has been favored since then.

FHD imo wasn't for "casual" listeners yet its revered.
