Cole technique rn is elite tier. To think I was the most excited to see him and dot clash but ah well...

no

FNL and FHD are his only projects that are like GKMC/TPAB/TC/NWTS level. And I'm not putting any of them above those. TY great but that's just 2 lil EPs. Everything else is just mid-good

Lmao at Born Sinner

so you named 2 classics each by 2 legends

and admitted he also has 2 classics

again, you got it lmfao. Ask anyone who was in college/high school/outside their feelings on born sinner and you’ll get nothing but positive (classic) reviews off the internet.

Truly Yours is longer than The Offseason

there’s a reason FHD was so huge, he almost outsold Ye on his 2nd album! he literally recovered his career with born sinner

2024 ass thread
just say u like the song

I deny his skills as a rapper.

People really just flip flop with new music, there’s honestly no appreciation for artists catalogues.

What have you dropped for me recently type s***.

And then look at the rest of their discogs. S80, DAMN, GNX (I personally don't fw MM but many do). Views, Scorpion (don't really fw but hits undeniable). Vs 4YEO, BS, KOD, CW:TSS. Like his bad projects are really bad

I was in hs when Born Sinner dropped, thought it was fire first few listens. But looking back, it's mid. I really don't know what you're talking about, you can make a thread asking the consensus on that album. It's not as beloved as you're claiming

And both Truly Yours combined is about the same length as Off Season

I was in 8th or 9th grade when born sinner came out I don’t remember people really fw it like that. You heard crooked smile and some other tracks on the radio but people thought it could’ve been better

Depends on the allegations they make up on one another tbh

Saying this after gnx is hilarious because that’s now the 4th Kendrick project that would unquestionably be Coles best.

I can’t make a thread on the consensus on that album around here and you know that

but if I made a twitter thread, I bet we could QUICKLY see how wrong you are, especially about his discography lmao

it’s okay, you like Kendrick more as an artist and think Drake is ahead as well. I just don’t appreciate disrespecting our legends when they really haven’t earned it, especially when 90% of the project length are PRODUCED by him on every project

the only response to that ever is “well maybe he shoulda been rapping on other beats” like what bruh. where’s the taking a step back and realize how amazing it is he made a lane to be considered top 3 off beats he hand crafted

that alone speaks immensely to me his artistry especially knowing how long a beat can take to cook at the level that they are at

it obviously takes more than just rapping to rap beef.

I believe so but now we will never know

This also

We saw him drop a song and he had very little to say and then literally deleted it and apologized lol

What does going toe to toe entail for him if he can't even be mean or truly diss someone? Its beef for a reason

possibly yea

he’s an amazingly technical rapper

the answer is probably no tho because the internet wouldn’t allow it or take it seriously

Yes

Just like this site has people who hate on Cole too much, Twitter has d***riders who praise Cole too much. Hence the tweet in OP

I've been a fan for years and he's almost always ended up disappointing me. Whether it's listening to FHD and getting to Hello, my first listen of 4YEO, my first listen of KOD or seeing this nigga apologise on stage and pull out of the beef and deleting his diss track (after a week tho so he could still get that tracking in). He's done plenty to earn it imo

"Top 3 off beats" yeah bro, let's just agree to disagree

like a foot race?

idk kendrick runs 6 miles a day

If we're talking lyrically on the same track, who will end with the better verse, then yes

If we're talking beef then we just saw what happened lol

I heard hello and cried cause I saw my first girlfriend with another dude right before I heard it

to each their own gang. have a blessed day

I said he’s discussed amongst the top 3 rappers in his generation with beats that he cooked. Idk why that’s hard to understand or not given a little bit more respect

it wasn’t for that age group, Born Sinner has songs that directly relate to the coming of age of people from his generation which tended to have graduated before 2014

most people in that 29-40 range LOVE Jermaine, often times passionately

Cole couldn't even go toe to toe with Noname she had him backpedaling talking about how he wasn't intelligent
