I like that Cole attempts to be bar heavy more than Drake and Kendrick since 2019. I’ll say that
I think Kendrick just isn't focused on trying to do the type of rapping Cole is anymore. You need to go back to see Kendrick really shine when it comes to wordplay and bars
!https://youtu.be/QXtVw1nUk6E!https://youtu.be/gxr_FgZjkgA!https://youtu.be/JpJzfWzkDHoI think Cole right now can flow better, but lyrically Kendrick even back then is around the same level.
Kendrick still smart with it when he wants to be though. That 69 bar on Auntie Diaries had me like
The difference is Kendrick doesn’t seem to feel challenged by rapping anymore, but more so the musicality of it.
Whereas Cole is challenged by not only rapping, but trying to prove to the doubters why he belongs alongside Kendrick and Drake.

Kendrick back then is not on par lyrically to cole rn man
Cole in his fnl/warm up days was rapping on the level of pre s80 kendrick if not better
KOD was directly influenced by DAMN. think about that for a second when comparing them as artists…
Cole himself will tell you that Kendrick is the superior rapper.
Cole doesn’t respect rappers who use ghost writers though.
if I quote it nigga, I wrote it nigga
Six head shots, I'll erode a nigga
yall tell me who he’s talking about
need an Off Season type mixtape from kendrick next where he has no 5 year wait pressure and can just have fun and bar it up

J Cole told you that personally?

He didn’t need to. He communicated his message through the music

Kendrick is definitely challenged by writing bars, if he was we wouldn’t get s*** like “people with ambiguous favors” on a pivotal verse of the album.
Dude really struggles to make his bars make sense
KOD was directly influenced by DAMN. think about that for a second when comparing them as artists…
the way KOD started with the intro basically exactly how DAMN started off with Blood was ridiculous

after this last album I kinda doubt that
need an Off Season type mixtape from kendrick next where he has no 5 year wait pressure and can just have fun and bar it up
if he can still provide this then I'm in

He has a whole mixtape of that style of rapping. That’s just not what he does

That’s why it’s such a shocking twist for Kendrick to drop MM&TBS which feels like a mix of KOD and the Off Season. Dude bootlegged his own bootleg

the same nigga who he brought out at shows and who literally reposted him yesterday lol
do you think that's because he's genuinely a greater artist or because his fans are unashamed d***riders?
better artist
better vision
better rapper
more interesting character
better discography
better legacy
so yeah the second one

He must hate Kenny then. He only just started crediting Keem on Morale
if he can still provide this then I'm in
drake stans in for a rude awakening when the Kendrick/Baby Keem collab album sells 2 mill first week
the way KOD started with the intro basically exactly how DAMN started off with Blood was ridiculous
Let me go another step further to my argument that Kendrick is way ahead. I give this thread 2 words;
