I don't know about that. I don't think we've gotten what Cole is truly capable of from a goin in lyrical perspective.

I listen to snow on the bluff and I'm mind blown by the level of detail and rhyme patterns he's doing from just pure introspective standpoint.

I don't think it's definitive that Drake is better

They’re equals after The Climb Back it’s hard for me to put Aubrey over Cole...and vice versa

J Cole and Drake are both above average lyricists

I agree with this. Above average, but not elite

For sure. Both have shown their skills but their ability to convey a message to a wide audience is both of their strong suits not being overly lyrical

jokes aside, is no one gonna post a cole song that can match tuscan leather?

Too deep for the intro

doesn't work in a lyrical exhibition. that's more of a personal track

YES OP

drake is top 5
off the strength
of his raps

what puts him over
the edge is his songwriting

nobody even comes
close to drake as a songwriter

but if we're just talking raps

drake has one of the
greatest ears for the pocket ever

if you rap, you know what i mean

cole is no slouch
but he's had some missteps

not nearly as many as drake imo

That nigga was snappin but ok you can put Tuscan up against the climb back

this isn't even close to being debatable lol

Talking Pure lyricism , Cole is witty. He might have a slight edge penning bars and rhymes but drake makes better songs. I think that makes lyrics more relatable and just hit differently. He does more with less in my opinion

Most versatile rapper ever? Lmaooo

Flow was godly

Too bad the bar is trash

That's how you know when someone is reaching to hate. Song is nice but let's focus on a bar

Used to have to hit my tees with Febreeze

Yeah I’m hating for being real about a line in the song
Never said that song was trash. Just the bar
That’s how you know someone is d***riding when they call a reasonable critique hate

Bar ain't trash though
