Cole isn’t outrapping Kendrick lol

In terms of pure rapping ability its

Kendrick
Drake
Cole

In terms of the ability to create memorable lines/quotes/songs

it's just Drake

the other two aren't in the same league and Cole is awful at that. Cole's biggest strength is his rhyme schemes but if I want that JID & Eminem are far better. Show me a Cole verse as good as either verse from Fuel or Animals P1 from a lyrical pov.

Cole can't do anything better than either Kendrick or Drake, he's big 3 but he's the weakest one both commercially and ability wise.

I'm ready to argue this is his best album.

Cap

The blueprint got 5 mics and a XXL instantly

“Drake is my favorite rapper, but” is my favorite concession used on this site.

This is just a blatant lie or absolute ignorance

only thing that irks me is its stealing attention away from other slappers that deserve as much listens

Shabang Should be #1 too

All time, yeah Kendrick has him, but there is a valid argument for saying he’s been technically sharper this decade.

It’s the only time that you said you loved me
And it felt so real, had no doubt about it
Definitely love me when you’re on Molly

No there isn’t.

Take a look at the billboard hot 100

Bait used to be good

Cole is a fair comparison but JID? Stop it

Yall really gotta stop glazing bro, show me a single JID verse that is better than any of the Make Them/Firm Friends verses on this album

Ok Jim

Cole and Drake out rapping 2020s Kendrick where are these mysterious lyrical Kendrick verses? His most lyrical verse this decade was probably Euphoria. His storytelling, content, subject matter, substance, flows, delivery, schemes etc are crazy ofcourse so if that’s your metric then yeah you got it but if we talking actual punch lines, metaphors, double entendres, etc Kendrick is last in the big 3

“Niggas want the tea on me well here’s the ginger root” is not f***in with “Feels like I got lie to even TIE so I don’t know if these are wins or not (Windsor knot) based on what’s SUITable now”

That white kids listen to you because they feel guilt bar might be one of his best bars

Why am I seeing a top anything that has J. Cole on it

i can rock with this

Cole raps at a consistently high level but his ceiling is lower than Drake’s

Drake fluctuates he has moments where he is better than everyone and other moments where he’s dumbing it wayyy down almost too far, sometimes in the same song

Kendrick raps at a consistently high level as well but he’s just elite at different things than Drake or Cole, he’s elite with his storytelling his content and substance as well as his vocal delivery, rhyme schemes etc, he’s elite don’t have more bars then Drake or Cole

Nigga said JID
