Just from a strictly rapping ability pov, Cole and Kendrick are pretty close today

But back then in the Section 80/Friday Night Lights Era…around the time these were recorded..the gap in rapping ability was huge in Kendrick’s favour


This was my most anticipated release at one point, but in hindsight this would of done Cole no favours

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
Hearing these it's pretty apparent why it didn't work. Kendrick doing all the heavy lifting :huhldup:......These tracks feel more like Coles bag than Kendricks. Which tells me Kenny was probably holding back to let Cole keep pace. Dot prolly realized this would only hinder his growth long term. And he was right. Tracks are mid.
The tracks are dope and they compliment eachother well. Yall gotta stop wit all this extreme dikkriding yall be doing.

Cole is better right now from a pure rapping standpoint. Back then Kendrick was better but not like nikkas tryna make it in here.

Dj Hed already said there will never be a kendrick x cole collab, Kendrick doesn't want to be associated with him anymore, so most likely won't give permission for official releases.
These guys like Akademiks, YN, DJ HED, and Budden acting like middlemen or unofficial spokespeople for artists is getting corny. It’s not even clear if the artists co-sign what they say. Instead of letting rappers speak for themselves, they’re making it more about their own take.

I mean Kendrick is still much better when he wants to, regardless of Cole's progression. I really doubt he wants a collab album with him coming out, specially since Cole is still very limited as an artist.
He'd probably wants an Andre 3000 collab album more.

Yeah even Temptation is meh tbh... With that being said, that kind of music would be a highlight for Cole's career, but definitely a lowlight for Kendrick...

Kendrick at this point is better served not really doing a full collab album with anybody

Not saying he's better than anybody, he just wouldn't be able to fully push himself creatively..

But yes Dot was much better than Cole back then.. I'd say they're even today from a pure rapping standpoint.. I think..

Wtf am I listening to? this is wack. never really gave a fukk about Cole, but as a Kendrick fan, I don't want this. Even their chemistry is corny...I swear you can tell they were forcing themselves to collaborate... :heh:
