Seriously, do people REALLY think Cole outdid Drake on Jodeci's Back? Please explain

[blackslash]

Came in this game never frontin’ on you nikkas
Gave you heart and soul, stories of my pain
Feel naked cause I laid out all my glory and my shame
Caught fire just to have nikkas ignore me and my flame
‘Bout to burn down the house, they tryna put me in the rain, no

Who gives a fukk about a poker face when you jokers showed me your cards?

Trenchcoat flow, bottom line
To these too cool for school nikkas I’m Columbine
Flow dumber than your projections
This makes twice now, I doubled what you expected, yet
Your covers keep complexin’ me
Maybe it’s too complex for me
But is this ’bout skills or is this ’bout sales?
Cause either way, all them nikkas is less to me
You legends know that we rap
bytches screamin’ like Jodeci’s back


These are real complex lines with multiple meanings and a bunch of soul. Drake just spit simple, empty, braggadocios, cookie cutter, rhymes that could apply to any rapper.

You're tryin to sound intelligient in ur analysis but essentially what ur saying is that J Cole..spat like an underdog and u like that because u strive to be an underdog ur whole life

Drake was hip hop with it and spat that bragodocious shyt with ill wordplay, better flow and top of the notch mic presence

While J cole was sounding like dem cigs fukked his throat up

Uninspired ass delivery and no mic presence whatsoever from that nikka

Like I said before you nikkas just like to be sold a fantasy

 

[Professor Polo]

Drake a grimey nikka for real though

Drop the video of you buying your boy's CD like its nothing

Then you drop 4 crazy songs to let nikkas know its not a game...

Then you drop the video of you getting your grammy to let people know you're in this shyt to win it...

props to the boy

sounds like some passive aggressive hoe shiit to me

 

[blackslash]

Like I said before you nikkas just like to be sold a fantasy

Nah i like rappers to be entertaining

You know..same way nikkaz felt nikkaz like Big and Pac?

Because they had that top of the notch mic presence and delivery

But it seems we have come along way when someone like J Cole who has no mic presence and trash delivery can be considered nice

 

[SuburbanPimp]

4 crazy songs

The Versace verse was dope (not a song)

Jodeci back was cool song, more for a mixtape though

Those other two songs were trash.....

I thought Cole did better. The first half of his verse was nothing special, but the second half

Roof top, hoes turnt up
Lookin' for your bytch, bet she won't turn up
Wonder where she is, fukk could she be
She's a ho, she's a slut, she's a freak
Heard a couple nikkas hatin' but them fukk nikkas weak
Count a hundred thousand dollars like it sucks to be me
Ain't that what you wanted? Stuntin' on you nikkas
Came in this game never frontin' on you nikkas
Gave you heart and soul, stories of my pain
Feel naked cause I laid out all my glory and my shame
Caught fire just to have nikkas ignore me and my flame
'Bout to burn down the house, they tryna put me in the rain, no
fukk your list you lame nikkas and doubters
I'm undoubtedly the hottest and that's just me bein' modest
Go check the numbers dummy, that's just me gettin' started
I'm artistic, you nikkas is autistic, retarded
Started, hold your applause
Who gives a poker face when you jokers showed me your cards?
David and Goliath, takin' on the giants
No need for pause when I tell you my balls bigger than yours
No false gods, young Mike playin' against the Monstars
Tappin' into '94 Nas
Or that '96 Jay, or that Chronic shyt, Dre
Which is really just Slim Shady, I'm silly, my pen crazy
Today I'm out in Philly, my fans waitin' for twelve hours
Just to get their dollar signed
Thoughts stream like I'm Spotifyin'
Trenchcoat flow, bottom line
To these too cool for school nikkas I'm Columbine
Flow dumber than your projections
This makes twice now, I doubled what you expected, yet
Your covers keep perplexin' me
Maybe it's too complex for me
But is this 'bout skills or is this 'bout sales?
Cause either fukkin' way, man all them nikkas is less to me
You legends know that we rap
bytches screamin' like Jodeci's back

[msims]

Can't we just like both, J.Cole and Drake?

​

 

[vaudevillevillain]

Drake bodied Cole on this. Cole been subpar since The Warm Up.

[bangedher_wholesquad]

I seen better rappers and singers in a damn high school.

tis all.

Classic, ____________ hasnt been hot since____________.
The Coli life.

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

Do people even listen to this shyt, it's so wack.

 

[Ronald]

It wasn't even close, Drake bodied him

and his verse on Over Here

the day those 4 Drake songs dropped >>>>>>>> June 18th

 

[blvckbieber]

J. Cole verse sounds better at first but then drags on while Drake is nice thruout

So id say its pretty much equal

IRS all in my books getting they Matlock on
All this capitol it's like I left the caps lock on
It's like every time I plot a return I seem to shift the game
See I can still talk keys without pitchin' cane


Better than anything cole said

nikkas REALLY ain't get that shyt either...

but "return" is not a key
