Just cause they both have boring voices and are from North Carolina don't mean he is influenced by Cole

plus his entire debut album was mixed by tde's ali

Using beats from other rappers doesn't make you influenced by them. And I never said Cole had a boring voice. You are d***eating right now.

Cordae's content is closer to Cole's. Cordae's style is closer to Cole's. Cordae uses the same lay man approach that Cole adopted from Pac.

"tde's ali" I didnt realize Kendrick was named Ali

his verses follow kendrick's verses structure on faith and he says that kendrick is one of his biggest inspirations but ok bro keep living in denial

I never said Kendrick wasnt an inspiration to him. Cordae is influenced by a s*** ton of rappers. Pac, Big, Nas, Jay, L, Meth, Red, Wayne, Kendrick, Cole, etc. That's what happens when you a student of the game.

It's obvious you a 17 year old Kendrick d***rider because you can't grasp a rapper taking from multiple people.

All I said was Cole is his biggest influence because his music is far more similar to his than Kendrick's. Kendrick was more intricate with his rhymes and his content incorporated gangbanging and west coast culture more even before GKMC. Cordae does none of this s***. He's the simple relatable black man in the U.S. with struggles such as poverty. Cole is exactly this. Neither use intricate rhyme schemes often although Cole can when he wants to and Cordae attempts it and will probably grow more with it.

I'm not surprised a song sampling an older song uses the same structure. That doesnt mean all of his s*** is like that holy f***

The Lost Boy is literally a s***tier version of Sideline Story and mixtape Cole lmfaooooooo

a minute ago u said that cordae wasn't influenced by him tho?
and it's not just the sample kendrick used, like i said the verses are built in a similar way it's obvious that kendrick's song inspired his verses plus he cites kendrick as a big inspiration for a reason
and yeah rappers are influenced by many different artists that they listen to, no s***

I said his biggest influence is Cole, not Kendrick. That doesn't mean he isn't influenced by Kendrick.

Cordae is sampling an old Kendrick song. It makes sense the verses are structured the same. This happens all the time.

When Jay Z sampled Me and My Girlfriend, he sounded like Pac. Doesn't make Pac his biggest influence

Y'all love reaching so much

man only has copycats like Carti tbh

they too good to just be a influence, people need to jack everything

and this is trap era, good luck finding Kendrick influence in all of that

next decade

Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud

Which is why I said he is still part of this era, give it time, em blew up in 98, and we didn’t start to hear his influence until 05 to 07

Which is around the time he was ready for retirement, we won’t see he influence of Kendrick until he is almost done.
