Is it arguable that both Drake and J. Cole are better songwriters than Kendrick?

Drake is the best between the 3 at making Pop/Corporate Rap songs
J Cole is the best between the 3 at making Rapity Rap songs
K Dot is the best between the 3 at making fleshed out Hip Hop songs.

It depends on what type of songs you like the most within rap music. I love rapity rap but a lot cats are too one dimensional with it so I prefer a fleshed out song that doesn't pander to the pop/casual listener. So K Dot is my choice as the best songwriter overall between the 3.

The fukk does that mean?

Drake couldn't make a song like Money Trees. To me Kendrick is a better songwriter than them both for the simple fact that he can make socially aware/conscious songs hits, to me this is the hardest skill to do, and even legends like Nas and Jay haven't quite mastered it. When i hear a song like Swimming Pools, or a song like Money Trees it proves to me how good of a songwriter Kendrick is, i think J Cole came close to it on The Warm Up with songs like Lights Please, but he hasn't really pushed himself ever since that release.

Right now Kendrick is the standout songwriter.
