Hell nah

I can actually follow the references here

But yeah Cole killed this shyt..

Lupe been using AI for his verses, and was using SP in 2007...nothing really impressive about that lol. Thats why a lot of his verses sound disconnected

Cole: skill
Drake: songs
Kendrick: art

I guess I’m not respectable then, I have to strongly disagree


Maybe it is the nostalgia for me being that I view GKMC and Section 80 in such a high regard. I was 19 going on 20 at the time and even today hearing some songs on those albums like Poe Man’s Dreams, Real, Sing About Me, etc. still make me a lil emotional cuz that shyt really resonated with what I was feeling at the time. Plus the lyrical content and value was there.

That version of Kendrick is who I thought was untouchable, not the guy I see today.

It’s not just nostalgia. It’s better music. People are acting like Kendrick was dropping 100 bars Canibus style tracks. Nah he was writing great songs then. Dumbing down doesn’t make you a better song writer. A more assessable one? Sure, but not better. In a song for song battle give me Section 80, GKMC and TPAB to go against DAMN, Mr Morale and GNX. The 2nd half of career would gets washed and rinsed. Wouldn’t even be close.

Cole: skill
Drake: songs
Kendrick: art

Skill to Cole is clear. When you say songs though what do you mean? Overall quality? Quantity? Range? Cause depending on criteria Kendrick could take songs. Art is clearly Kendrick

Cole changed around 2016 when he was rolling out 4YEO, bro locked himself in a room and just started dedicating himself to becoming a rap demon. This is when he started to make the leap and now he’s lapped everybody. I think even Drake realizes this. He became my favorite of the three at that time. His only weakness is his lack of a killer instinct that Kendrick has and it has hurt him.

Kendrick doesn’t make things I want to listen to. I respect his attention to his craft but it comes off as art to me, not entertainment.

Cole almost never tries to aim for sacrificing lyrics for the music in the way Kendrick does.

Cole is 40. He’s never gonna have the mainstream so he tapped into the one skill he could exhibit over his peers.

Kendrick is the best outta the big 3. Bruh has all the credentials for a GOAT.
