he's never been the commercial force drake is
nor the artist Kendrick is
i think his appeal was always being the mix of both
I'm not even sure Cole can lyrically hang with them anymore. Cole tries to be commercial and woke for twitter, also.
I will never forget how Cole started rapping over trap instrumentals to stop the hate he received during the 4YEO era, bro really compromised his Integrity
What if i told you that i know someone that pulled troys b**** ass card and troy aint do s*** about it
🤔

It’s crazy how Kendrick’s and Drake’s best songs are all very original music, different from basic songs, they have their own style, they display their creativity and skill. J Cole best songs are all basic boom bap songs with normal structures
Crazy how we really got 2 Top 15 rappers OAT with Drake (#4) and Kendrick (#11)
What a time to be alive
Drake #4????

Yup! To know his best album in his fans opinions is FHD. Dude took pride in doing it all himself and fans got what they wanted but I bet that hurt.

That's where he shined on those tapes, samples and was rapping like he had somewhere to be. I think Cole's dressing and acting like he doesn't want fame is a Front
This a setup I swear, watch Cole feed into It and drop his real magnum opus that certifies him. Guarantee he does a breakfast club interview too.

a lotta cole albums has parallels to the kendrick album before it lowkey lol
4yeo the year after tpab, much more jazzy sounding/artsy and lowkey with a big concept
then he deadass said he got inspired to make KOD by going to a DAMN concert and seeing how hype it was
Wish he would go back to casual raps over hard beats like his tapes and FHD, he been trying to do too much on albums ever since and it loses all replay value

Or maybe his perspective changed after getting the fame and not feeling the fulfillment he may have expected prior.
