    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

    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.

    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

    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

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

    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.

    The definition of a rapper that can hang with a top 3 but isn't the whole package to be up there with them.
