Palestinian OoziI feel Cole is a great technical rapper but the two things that I think separate him from Kendrick and Drake…Drake in his prime has an iconic cult of personality that makes him a giant and a knew how to communicate this in different ways. Kendrick has better thought out themes and narrative styles to me that make an album work better.
So I’ve never found Cole as interesting as the other two. But I won’t deny that he can bar out at higher levels but not necessarily all the time.
Fair and I agree wit this

notbrockThe thing is Kendrick doesn’t do a lot of bar heavy raps but when he does it hits as we saw with the beef. Cole attempts more bar heavy songs way more than Kendrick but ends up missing a lot
NLU obviously isn't some masterclass in lyricism but the energy and flows are great. It also has more quotable lines than every song Coles done in the last 5 years combined, Objectively
I’m not saying Coles a bad rapper by any means, I’m not even saying Kendrick’s better. I just think it’s a little ridiculous the way y’all act like Cole is the greatest to ever touch a pen
With all dat being said why yall act like drake ain’t like dat 2

ValentineI mean all the legendary hoopers agree that 30 years of All Star game 4th quarter seriousness was taken away when Bron passed the ball being guarded by Kobe
Cole choked, it was WIDELY noticed and noted. denying that is just gaslighting and conflating s*** that ain’t what happened in the moment lol
Lmao and those same legendary hoopers know Bron surpassed them all in every single conversation because he's put up quality consistently for decades
And how are we still pretending this wasn't something between people that hated each other, not some friendly sport...

Ghostwriting s*** forever removed that convo from Drake
Gosh 😹Jan 28·2 repliesv003Ghostwriting s*** forever removed that convo from Drake
And the fact Drake doesn’t drop full rap projects
Why would I compare a nigga who raps part time to Cole da Gawd
Jan 28Black SmokeKendrick got more quotables in not like us alone than j Cole’s entire career
Nigga using hits and he still wrong lmao

Drake also has never written from a perspective other than his own, made a real storytelling song etc
Like there's real measurable s*** that seperates Drake from most rap convos

So quote some of these great Cole bars
The best bar I’ve heard from him in the last 5 years was the no mc equal line on Johnny Ps caddy
I also liked that draft king bar on port Antonio but for every good Cole bar there’s like 7 terrible ones
That’s so vague. Sht can be said about like every rapper

Can you answer the question or not
Damn near the whole thing is a reach
It’s a very simple bar that you’re adding like 65 different meanings to that don’t even make sense
1.whip(car) and traffic
-yes those are 2 words that he says2. people rather move d****(traffickin’ pounds) than
work(whippin’ work)
-this is just a reach lmao like what, How is this even wordplay?3.Traffickin’ pounds(traffic impound) at a traffic stop your car can be impound for d****
-ridiculous reach4. Slave trafficking/slavery (whippin work and tratticking)
-bro5.whippin’ work (whip and work), meaning either whip in to shape/work out or to whip in(get in) some work to lose weight (trafficking pounds)
Next line
-Do you think Cole invented the phrase “whippin work” or something? Like dog this is laughableI’m not even going into the my jack jumpin part cause it’s even more ridiculous

NLU doesn’t even have hard bars that would shake a room of MCs like stop it’s following the drake hit formula which is fine but I’m talking about actual bars

The shoe fits was his attempt at a story telling song but it was just alright. Plus the song was some red pill s*** too.
I dont think he has it in him to make a For Your Eyez Only or Sing about me type track

I dont think he could do it either but it's not needed to be a goat or anything but when it comes to penwork how could you not

These are the most on point reasons for why most people feel the way they do.
People having different conversations at once.

I'm not arguing about his ability to write hits or nothing just saying why most ppl don't include him in those convos, same as Kanye
- Jan 28·2 repliesv003
"this is a reach because I say it is"
Okay
Because it’s absolutely ridiculous
“Trafficking pounds” has been said in a million songs but when Cole said it he actually meant it to have another meaning because it kinda sounds like “traffic impound”
