The pain I feel on my frame gets transmuted to a dangerous flame
I spit fire at the devil while the angels sang
The flow changed, but Jermaine's the same, I'm Plain Jane
Not a chain on my neck, but shine like baguettes
A shame, not a flex, to rhyme like the rest
My mind's quite depressed if I don't write these




Ain't nothing great about these bars. J Cole is a black Eminem. All technical with little substance. If these lyrics move you on any level than you got a trash ear :yeshrug:



Reincarnated is better than anything Cole has written in his whole career. That's a fact :hubie:

This is disgusting behavior breh.

This is a very disgusting attempt at trying to make it seems like theyre all amazing when clearly kendrick clears in every category. Dont try to lower his talents when hes the best artist, rapper and song maker... it takes art to make better songs.

And dont try to come with that subjective bullshyt, you lacking knowledge doesnt mean this shyt is subjective. You can like whathever you like but these dudes are not equals.

Tell drake and Cole to make an album like s80 and then well talk...coz right now, it is still kendrick worst album and that shyt is still better than Cole drake entire discographies

I really think yall discredit Drake because of his efficient with language Drake is. Drake can say the same thing Cole does in 40% fewer words. And make it catchy.

Kendrick doesn’t make better songs TO ME. I hated “humble” since the first time I heard it and I looked down on anyone who loves that song as intellectually basic for falling for fake piety and puritanical preening. Same reason I hated swimming pools.

Now when Kendrick gets off I can’t front. He can do that with the best of them. But many of his songs do absolutely nothing for me.

Nas still dope but his pen is nowhere near Kendricks at this point. But he's 30 years in the game. It's to be expected. He can't sit around writing rhymes all day. He's already the GOAT. But far from the best in this day.
I can;t say he's out of the conversation though. He dropped 6 albums in 3 years so he was writing rhymes all day. KD3 and Magic clear a lot of music that's been released in the same timeframe

Imo kendrick is the Best rapper and makes better art. Drake is the most versatile and hit maker (although recently thats kendrick, but drake did that for years)

Cole is just trying to follow their steps...hes nowhere near as good as kendrick is as a rapper when kendrick wants to rap rap, and is nowhere near as good as drake when it comes to make hits, sing, crossover etc

I said Kendrick made better art but Kendrick rarely makes the sort of stuff I want to consume and not project that “ah yes I am also an Intellectual”… I don’t need that branding to show I like quality all the time.

Cole is scared to piss people off. Again, he feels the same way about Kendrick that Drake does. You can hear it all the time. Imagine Cole really calling out Kendrick’s playing of the race card and light skinned rage bait. BODY BAG. BUT…Cole doesn’t have that heart in him. Drake has been willing to spar on all levels and for that reason alone of not backing down garners him a level of respect that Cole can’t achieve.

Key phrase is when Kendrick wants to rap rap. Half the time kendrick is swagging it out yelling slogans, and being lyrically ineficient.

Overall I think Kendrick is the best, but J Cole is just way more consistent as a writer and lyricist. Along with that, J Coles best verses can stand with Kendricks.

If both of them drop songs, im gonna check for Cole forst because I know there is a mich greater chance im gonna get solid rapping.

Woa Woa nikka... Kendrick wins skill, there's no fukking denying that LOL. Kendrick has pretty much mastered every fukking aspect of mceeing, probably the first rapper to master it all since Andre 3000, from the rythmic transitions to the sentence structure, Kendrick is way ahead of his peers in that aspect. nikka they're fukking writing books about Kendrick's rapping. This dude has perfected almost every style.

And what even is "songs" and "art"? kendrick is indeed a better artist because he makes better music, so that means "songs" goes to him too. But now if you're talking about "hit making abilities", I'd have no issue admitting Drake has crafted more hits through his career than Kendrick, who has himself crafted more hit songs than Cole.
