Didn't mean to make this a hate thread anyway, I just wanna see how that post "aged" in 2021. Btw you have a great point, I don't think Cole is interested in being "experimental" or left field or whatever, just simple but great raps for his audience and there's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes we need rappers like him and Omen in the game

This simply isn’t true and very biased.

Freddie been wanting to get a Cole verse

No

already held his own with Elec, Talib, Pusha (more I'm forgetting I'm sure) too

Nas made songs like One Mic and Made You Look

He made an album with Damian Marley

I'm tired of the ignorance. He is one of the most versatile performers in hip hop

Actually think it's the other way around and you're being biased as a Cole stan lol

Exactly, the way he spazzes out on the features is great and I prefer him over those Reddit rappers too

Cole overhated fr idr listen to him anymore but he does his thing

worst thing u could accuse him of is being a bit smug in his songs but even then ehh

I’m not biased at all!!

I agreed with all the critiques @02Shaq said I just think that applies to other legends in hip hop too, and used Nas as a example.

Reddit posters need all the opinions to be handed to them, they can't think for themselves

They need Fantano to go out on a limb and say "The song you are currently listening to is experimental and amazing. You are supposed to like it" or some s***

Ok then who’s great right now?

Other than drake...

Lil Baby

He's a big fan, ppl don't wanna hear it but lbr Cole would most likely get his ass.

logic is at the absolute bottom of the originality spectrum, no disrespect

cole, even if you dislike his s*** offers something to the 2010s

Lock thread

being serious here

!!!

Comparing him to Logic is disrespectful

Rap nerds not gon like this post

Is it a valid comparison tho? Nas made something fresh at the time. It wasn't "real hip hop" because that's what hip hop was at the time. So Cole trying to call back to a time of the past automatically invalidates the comparison.

idk why we're referencing a six year discussion

Cole's voice is lowkey better. He's more charismatic.

The next Cole era will probably be his best cause he’s been working on it the longest and it seems like he’s gonna have a lot to say.

He might prove me wrong

If he wasn’t great in some form or fashion then yall wouldn’t still be talking about him. It’s not like he out here clout chasing. You know you legendary when people still speak about you and you haven’t even asked em to.
