I’m glad someone else sees it. I think Cole is the best lyricist out of the three. I also think he has the weakest discography.
Not weakest as in bad (tho those albums before Forest Hill were mid). Worst as in someone has to finish third, and it’s him. None of his best work top-to-bottom is anywhere near Kendrick at his best. And he’s never consistently shook shyt on the charts the way Aubrey has for almost 15 years.
Cole reminds me of Kiss. imo the 16s have always carried his reputation far more than the bodies of work. both have at least one great/classic album. Both also have more mid than you would expect from two people I consider “best-of-the-best” MCs.
I don’t know why THAT was the angle he chose. FOH.
Good analogy
