This is a very hot take but I think Cole would body Kendrick in 2021

No it would be boring

Would've needed a Kendrick only version

Nah

I’m at peace with it never coming out. Would have been amazing back in 2010/2011.

Collab albums are only good when the artists are super close and they lock in and take their time to make the project

Cole and 21 Savage needs to join the list of fantasy collab albums tbh

Keep

its just that it had so much hype that people will be disappointed with it. the message, the sound. people will be disappointed.

No

Yeah bro, when was the last time Kendrick rapped his ass off on a beat with another rapper? 2016?

Cole been killing all his features and collabs with other rappers for 4 straight years, he has that hungry competitive mentality. KOD era and The Off Season showed how focused Cole is on his rapping bag, Kendrick wasn’t even rapping like that on DAMN and BP except for DNA.

the definition of "very hot take" tbh

Not on Kendrick's worst day.

Stigma wasn’t the right word, just the fact that it’s been beaten down into oblivion to the point a Kendrick x Cole album is almost meme status, you know? Something with that level of hype and anticipation is bound to be a letdown if it’s not EXACTLY what people wanted

It would probably be pretty good.

Gonna need a Kendrick only version if this ever gets made

Not happening bro, lol

Y’all really overrate Kendrick’s rapping lmao, bar and delivery wise he doesn’t touch Drake and Cole if we are talking about classic competitive rapping. Drake and Cole are much more reminiscent of 90s rappers (Biggie, Hov, Pun, Pac, Big L, etc) if we a***yze punchlines, delivery and flows. Kendrick at his best is more reminiscent of rappers like Nas and Lupe, where the focus is the writing and concepts.

Dedication with Nipsey

Wouldn't even make sense at this point Cole is waay to out there ironically and Kendrick has this hidden thing going on which I find cool because who knows what he's gonna come with but even what he we have now I think after GKMC and TPAB Kendrick was waaaay out of Cole's league it would've made sense when FNL was out and Kendrick was coming off of overly dedicated or s80 I think

Lol I promise you that nothing Cole has done in 2021 touching a thing Kendrick has done since 2018.
It doesn’t matter. The only argument Cole has is Kendrick hasn’t been rapping.

Kendrick gonna eventually drop again and then people gonna realize how elite he is

Only if they release what they’ve been working on for 10 years and not force together some new s*** just to fulfill that album happening

That s*** wouldn’t even be top 15 post 2017 Drake or Cole verses lmao and I’m being generous
