This is absolute facto

It’s still Kendrick & it will always be Kendrick

Bar for Bar, Cole has the best album out of all three

No debate. Killing s*** left and right. Getting the love he deserves too

He didn’t deliver the smoking on top 5 album. Sorry but he don’t have the crown rn

I gotta fan myself off (Fan me off)
I gotta cool down, heated

When Kanye got back with Drake, I was slightly confused
Guess I'm not mature as I think, got some healin' to do

On the night I was born, the rain was pourin', God was cryin'
Lightnin' struck, power outage, sparks was flyin'
The real one's here, the young boy that walk with lions
Around the outlines of chalk where the corpses lyin'
Of course I'm tryin' to revive a sport that's dyin'
But the guns and the d*** bars that y'all rely on
Got these nerds thinkin' that you niggas hard as I am
But that just mean I ain't as comfortable as y'all with lyin'
Stretchin' the truth, know I never stress in the booth
They feel the pressure, me I feel like I just left the masseuse
Effortless, how I'm skatin' on these records is proof
I put your favorite rapper neck in a noose, never lettin' them loose
Cole World, the heat'll blast through your speaker
He the last of Mohicans, no weaklings last in my sneakers
Nigga want me on a song, he gon' see the wrath of the reaper
I'm prolly gon' go to Hell if Jesus ask for a feature
I'm higher than niggas and don't need a bag full of reefer
Some see the glass as empty, I see a glass full of ether
Collectin' his bread en masse like he a Catholic preacher
Just to count a nigga cash, you might need a calculus teacher
Eureka, Einstein on the brink of the theory of relativity
Really, no MC equal, feel me?
Cole pen be lethal, crib like an old MTV show, uh
On God, the best rapper alive
Headshot, now go and ask the best rappers that died
They'll tell you he never lied, nigga

I’m a big cole fan but never loved his projects so much to point out a classic. They have great songs but collectively none are as great as Kendrick/Drake’s best. I think KOD is his best project

You know, I was SO ready to dismiss this until I realized that, bar for bar, Kendrick and Drake ain't seeing Cole.

On popularity and "concepts"/"hits" they got that advantage, but on just the skill of rapping, then Cole.

4YEO is better than anything Drake has dropped since Views if we talkin about substance.

Cole knows Drake is the truth, I think cole thinks drake is better than him. That story from the cover artist of KOD is really interesting. He said Cole constantly big upped drake in the studio and said if he could pick one rapper he’d be Drake.

And a few years after that, cole remixed drake’s track and put himself third behind Kendrick and drake. I know he is a humble guy but still….

Drake and Kendrick are still better. Just cause they didn't want to show off their rapacious like Cole in off season doesn't mean they lost it

Jimmy cooks and Churchill downs’ raps are bulletproof… drake and 21 usually sounds good together but hate the tone shift of the song.

the off season is what people wanted mr morale to be when kendrick said he was ready to smoke our top 5s

look how everybody clapping when your 30 song album do a measly hunnid thou :colelaff:

I wonder when J. Cole's album "The Fall Off" is coming. When are we thinking? 2024 maybe?

Kendrick the only one really saying s*** out of the big 3 at this point

Cole had bars on Off Season but I'm not 15 years old getting my mind blown by Death to Mumble Rap so that's not really my priority at this point

Mr. Morale was great the way it was man.

I’d say Cole is rapping the best right now but when it comes to dropping the best music it’s Kendrick as usual.

Rapping-wise? Tyler isn’t in the same stratosphere as Drake, Kendrick, or Cole

u must be talking about dancing or something and not rap 🤣🤣

Tyler is a great artist but him being brought into the conversation with these 3 is hilarious fr.

the thing is cole verses like this are the exception and not the rule

if he rapped like this every time there'd be no debate

drake pen is better than coles

Didn't Kendrick Lamar drop his fourth classic recently? He's tied with Drake for #1

listening to off season rn OP
