Kendrick isn't an "elite bars" rapper. He's my 3rd favorite rapper of all time and even I can admit this. It's not a knock.

It's just a different approach....and it doesn't lessen an artist IMO.
Kendrick isn’t an “elite bars” rapper?
Are we just saying words now!
Kendrick’s got lyrics but he doesn’t have bars. Cole and Drake can out bar him
Cole can you are lying about drake, drakes idea of a bar is him imitating ye's spontaneous and sometimes awful imagery, but he's not ye tho so it always falls flat, case in point 8am in Charlotte
I can’t name a guy top 10 with “about 40 songs total” who is consistently rapping at a high level
But yall can only give a handful of songs of kendrick barring up and get to claim he’s no 1.
It’s crack.
Well you have to also make good songs combined with bars, these niggas ain’t battle rappers for a living

8am is a classic and better than anything Kendrick has released in the past five years
not even a kendrick stan but cole will never be near him. bro's overall discography is weak as hell
I was just saying yesterday how I think Cole doesn’t have a single album that cracks Kendrick or Drake’s Top 5, but I think that acknowledging what all 3 artists bring to the table is important if you want to make sense of this whole debate. All 3 are worthy. If they weren’t, then we wouldn’t be talking about this right now.
Yeah Cole may have benefited from timing but there’s a reason why he gets to be grouped in with the other two while rappers like Wale, Meek, and Sean just sort of existed in their own space.
honestly this all i respond to him with at this point

Wait you punched me tho, my bad

i swear only on ktt would someone say this
I just farted so bad at work I put hand sanitizer all over my hands and arms to mask the smell
Sounds like the FATD creative process
It is pretty crazy how good of a rapper Cole is but somehow doesnt have an album better than some more underground guys like Freddie, Danny, Vince or Boldy James
Cole is just in such a weird place
Freddie can talk his s*** with him, I'm not sure why he decide to jump to dot cause that's a no Brainer
i swear only on ktt would someone say this
Just a way to discredit Kendrick cause he usually goes for double/triple entendres and storytelling over IG captions

This that mainstream/pop mentality.
Sonics vs lyrics

Quick. Quote a fire double/triple entendre from kendrick

Finding a happy medium is key and I think all 3 have done that, some lean more one way than others of course
