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.
So you'd rather artists don't make what they're interested in and only do new wave experimental s***?

No that's not the point at all. He was trying to compare Nas to Cole and u really just can't do that lol
Cole just boring though...he even got a drake stimulus Kanye diss song where he claims he doesn’t diss people and that s*** came and went
FHD probably a classic though but let’s face it...he ain’t what we thought he was
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
Exactly, considering we've the tracks meant for the album supposedly (Javari, Everybody Dies, False Prophets, The Climb Back) its going to be solid
Edit: thanks for gold

If you're still talking about it years later... did it really go anywhere?
JERMAINE COLE has out rapped Pusha T not once but twice
Reddit wont like this one

Fair
The older you get
The more you realize J cole is great

His flow is more virtuosic he's more versatile. Pusha has one way to rap. Cole is unpredictable he can attack the beat in many ways.

This is the first I’ve thought about that song since it came out...and I only thought if it cause I clicked this topic...was my assessment wrong?

Cool it was fresh in 94 but his sound hasn’t changed much since then
Same way The Warm Up and FNL was fresh during the blog era but Cole sound hasn’t changed drastically
Side note: 4YEO could've legitimately been his best work if those "She's Mine" songs were cut
he's good but he doesn't have the discography to back up the "top3" claim

I don't know you at all, so I can't speak to your thought process and this is just an observation but I see that song brought up on this site minimum once a week. So I do not think your assessment is correct.
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.
For a decade but KTT is bored of Cole right
For a decade but KTT is bored of Cole right
and every time he drops he literally breaks streaming records
but but but nobody f***s with him! KTT said so!

Y’all say that but if Cole announced a release date for his album it would get 100 pages rn

Correct, YB took that spot

I see...well then the burden of proof is on you. You don’t even need to give me an example of it being brought up every week, show me twice in the last month and I’ll believe you.
