Murs > Kendrick and J Cole :lupe:

[SirBiatch]

I've listened to everything from F'Real to Murs for President, and I'd still rather listen to Section.80 or the Warm Up in full than any of his albums in full.
He's definitely a good artist but Kendrick is lightyears ahead of him and Cole is miles ahead.
That being said, he did push me along in backpack rap and introduced me to Aesop Rock.

how?

like I said, you can prefer Kendrick/Cole sonically to Murs. Live.Love.ASAP is better than anything Murs has or will ever release as a full project.

But lyrically? Murs is better than Rocky, no question. Lyrically he's better than Kendrick and Cole. No question.

If you said Phonte or Blu I would have actually entertained your opinion breh. But, I fukks with Murs new albulm with 9th heavily.

It becomes no contest and obvious at that point.

I checked the Murs.

First impression, he's not as good as Cole. Murs actually sounds like a regular guy rapping, and was clearly targeting the black backpack market. He had very good production but what he says isn't that that interesting. Cole has stronger song concepts although the themes may be similar. Coles cadence is also better than this dude. Cole is sharper and "snaps" better imo.



Not if it's due to when they were made, but Murs rhymes are very "I'm gonna rap over bro soul" type style. Although phonte is similar in a way, he is much better and clearer, he seemed to wash him on the animal joint

I would say Cole is closer to a nick grant, although not as good. Grant is like a B+, but without a catalogue as yet. Issue is only a few rappers in each category are allowed to shine in the Internet era, whereas traditionally a lot more ate from the pie. E.g. Female rappers only 2 max can really thrive at one time. These "ordinary guy rappers" only 2/3 can be on top, and the prize for being that top spot is huge, Cole n duck take most of the spoils. FHD was good but not 2015 double plat good :drakelaugh1:
Murs wouldn't cut it to be the top 2/3 even with the Jay co-sign, being light brite, n stimulus package.

His album with mayday was dope and the one on Strange. Hopefully he stays with Strange for a while I think he makes good music with Mayday

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Murs is hands down better than J Cole..

 

[Yoda]

most, if not all, people who disagree with thread title- havent heard a lick of murs catalog.

Murs got this easily.

 

[Grand Conde]

I can't listen to Murs and Talib's new shyt, something about their voice and flow or whatever the fukk. Both of them remind me of each other for some reason.

Brother Ali though >>>>>

 

[Grand Conde]

Yea he's dope.

2 of the most POWERFUL songs I've heard in recent memory were off his albums:






2nd song could legit be a black power movement anthem or some shyt

Dope songs. He got killed by both Rhapsody and Propaganda on the first one though.

 

[Sukairain]

Murs is quality



Way better than Kendrick, who is basically a robot or a computer program for writing rhymes. Murs' music has soul

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

Murs catalog is legit been solid since End The Begging and really hasn't had a "shytty" album. Kendrick and J Cole need to put out more albums before they can be directly compared.

Murs is better than Kendrick live, that's for sure. At least since the last time I seen them both.

 

[southpawstyle]

One time Murs came to the roller rink I work at so I played You & I and got down. He seems chill

Murs trash

Just Below The Heavens in terms of regular dude rap, the rest of his discog is hit n miss in my opinion. That "Dancing In The Rain" track basically spoke to me when I was a rapping while working a regular job, before I quit to do music full time.

Look, it's six o'clock, I'm hoppin' outta the bed
Rain fallin', callin' X, but my phone line's dead
I guess my bills ain't paid, no ride to work for the day
Second option, hop the bus, but there's a traffic delay
My boss trippin', ‘cause I'm runnin' late and ain't no excuse
When I'm about to be 22 without a whip I could swoop
Feel like I'm finna shoot my own dome with chrome to escape
Zonin' out ‘cause working-working out ain't worth what I make
My lady callin' buggin', always fussin'
Just because we ain't ballin'
But it's hard because her cousin's fukkin' rich
‘Cause her husband's hustlin'
And I ain't fukkin' touchin' nothin' but a mic
Five o'clock and off the work, ready to go home and write
But I ain't got a buck to catch the bus, chillin' at the stop
Rain fallin' hard as ever and it's soakin' my socks
fukk it! Kicked my kicks off and took off my jacket
Rolled my jeans up, beat up, and my headphones blastin'
Blazed some weed up and started laughin'
While I'm splashin' in puddles
Like, "Mothafukk a struggle! We dancing in the rain."

Spoiler: This my latest

None of those seeing me when it comes to bangers & I can do everything they do.

That song is terrible. Legit shyt, u also have a horrible rap voice. Go get a job
