The nominees

In for the shambles. Nas should’ve won but love J Cole too

XXL Awards

King's Disease II and Magic out now. F*** The Awful Season.

If Nas just dropped KD2 and kept it at that I would’ve given it to Cole but Nas hit us w Magic at the buzzer

Should I blast myself?

very fair

should’ve been nas tho

Finally Lil Baby is acknowledged as the lyricist he is, shoulda won tho

lmfaaaoooooooo right on cue

Should’ve been JID When he said “heeba juhbeeba geneeba hibbity bebbedity shemabeggebaydee” whew

Let's be real, if they didn't just nominate the biggest lyricists, Mach should've won.

No hate to Cole.

Had the best album on that list

Nas Gun and arguably Tyler are all above Cole. Especially if we’re basing it off most recent album

Don’t get me wrong, I love Cole but come on

kiLL Edward snubbed smh

tyler the creator is not a better rapper than j cole

lyrics, punchlines, entendres, flow only Nas rivals Cole here

Nas > Cole

Westside Gunn snub

Nas should've won.

Aye J. Cole, you let Nas down again.

Applying Pressure one of my favs lyrical displays last year so not mad at all, but Nas shoulda got it.

Overall I agree but if we talking most recent albums - I was very disappointed with Coles lyrics as a whole on his latest project

shoulda been lil baby
