This happens everytime with their albums lol it isnt a new phenomenon

Gkmc vs born sinner
Tpab vs fhd
Damn vs 4yeo
Now this

Its always been a stan war on twitter since 2012/2013

Mr. morale disappointed but it’s not even fair to compare Off-season to that, one listen throw away — maybe KOD is in the convo.

Cole has gotten better and Kendrick has stood still and it shows.

who cares, that s*** aint working for him like that.

Cole's best work dropped 8-12 years ago, depending on where you stand on 2014 FHD vs his mixtapes

Maybe his bars have gotten better but his songwriting hasn't

You’re right but I think that was just Cole’s best work in the same album. I can see Cole improving though - he’s just not very consistent in general.

I definitely think his feature game has gotten better, or at least more consistent. The hate has led him to put in more effort in that space.

Kendrick is better

Lol...by what metric?

Cole's decade long run? Cole's going Plat on every album? Cole selling out MSG twice in a row? Cole having a Diamond(eligible) single? Cole having a solid feature run that's still going today?

How is it not working for him?

Mr.Morale is a very mature album and stands out hard in todays rap climate. Cole is just familiar and The Off Season is what people want from him. Kendrick is better by default btw,i don’t even knowwhy this is being argued,only way this opinion exist is cause Cole is easily digestible and social media friendly.

J Cole doesn't have a single project as good as Kendricks worst

You mean like how it's always been for the past decade?

Or because people have different taste. Wtf is better by default mean lmao

That was probably the most tame “f word” drop in hip hop history lol compared to what I’ve heard

never in my life would i imagine cole being better than kendrick but here we are

As crazy as this is this is true.

off season > mr. morale & the big steppers

kendrick discog > cole discog

Of course,people can like what they like and have different but skill set wise,Kendrick is undeniably better then Cole.

The Off Season >>> Mr. Morale

I wouldn't say Cole is better than Kendrick but people keep going to the extreme of claiming Cole is trash/mid just because he isn't as good as Kendrick.

And I have a problem with that. Kendrick has an exceptional catalog. Not being a good as him doesn't automatically make you trash.

Cole is one of the most disrespected legends in hip hop.

Y’all really hate Mr. Morale like that?

Did you guys even give it that second listen? Mr. Morale gets better every play. The Off Season is the same 7.5 you heard from the jump.

Judging off their last efforts Cole is a more skilled rapper while Kendrick has declined
