Define "better rapper"...because honestly, metaphors is something J Cole AINT got.
Metephors dont make you a good rapper...
Don't really see how someone could objectively say otherwise. It's a given that Cole is a better MC than Ye, but the progress he's made as a producer is really impressive.
Born Sinner is full ofshyt
Meanwhile, the last classic beat Kanye made without the help of Mike Dean, No ID, etc is probably the Be Intro.
I'm a fan of both, but the way Ye gets stanned on here while Cole gets slandered just doesn't add up.
j.cole has potential
but kanye west got his discography.
Paid and Full and Follow the Leader vs Late Registration and MBDTFKanyes production fell the fukk off when he started aiming for that "stadium sound around Graduation. All his shyt since has been overproduced. He's trying to do too much.
And Ye is an average rapper, you dudes are delusional. He doesn't even write all his own rhymes and y'all swear he's Rakim on the mic smh. If Ye was flowin like Cole did on Villuminati, you stans would be saying its the best shyt ever
