Y'all nikkas stay buzzing with this pick one or the other....

...Just be happy there are artists who will carry this shyt forward for a cool minute

They can't.

They grew up in an era where Jay and Nas stans took sides, and 50 told them that they had to hate who HE hated.

It's in their DNA. :manny:

I can't believe people are putting Drake ahead of Kendrick Lamar in a topic about who is a better RAPPER

Not that "more complete artist" shyt and "who has easier lyrics for me to understand" shyt, or "who's cuter and more popular to the girls" shyt, but a RAPPER.

Reading someone try to defend why they think Drake is a better rapper than Kendrick Lamar would be Coli entertainment at it's finest. Drake is good, but that's blasphemous.

There's VERY few rappers ahead of Kendrick lyrically, and none of the aritsts being discussed in this topic have a case with the exception of Wale.

They are A/A+ lyricists who are only beneath the S class of the likes of Nas, Lupe Fiasco, Jay Electronica, etc...

nikkas like Cole and Drake are B-/B+ range. You can have your preferences for who you LIKE TO LISTEN TO more, but it's let get crazy.


You can make the claim that Kendrick is an even better musician than drake. The way he constructs hooks, manipulates his voice etc. You definitely can't make the claim that Drake is the better rapper though cause he simply isn't and a track like 'Rigamortis' proves that.

Kendrick is a better rapper and musician than drake, i really don't want to hear hjim in conversation with these new generation cats. Out of all these cats, hes the only one you could say could potentially be top 5 GOAT, the rest of them aren't of that calibre.

When i first heard Warm Up i though J Cole could be in that conversation, but his albums haven't come anywhere close to that effort.

Despite this he is still a much better rapper than drake though.

Lupe should have been ahead of all these nikkas but he wants to be a weirdo.

Wale is better than both, but he's not light skinned and has a reputation for being a "diva" so most of ya'll dont wanna hear it.

More About Nothing is better than anything I've heard from Drake or J.cole, Ambition was better than Take Care or Sideline Story, and I'm hearing The Gifted is great too....

:ctfu: you musta got on that Wale wave late, his whole steez is a faux poetic rapper. Since Mixtape About Nothing, his whole style has been forced to seem deep.


Illest bytch :childplease: :usure:

Rap fans want so bad for their favorite artists to "compete" and compare whose better, but since Nas and Jay squashed their "beef," rappers have been openly friendly with each other (outside of a few cases of 50 v everyone/Jeezy v Ross).


It's good to have a favorite of who you like better, but stop trying to force your opinion on others and pose it as fact and just enjoy the music. (Drake > Cole IMO)

Napoleon has issue where everything he cares about, he's entirely obsessed with it. Like he won't let you hear the end of it, this dude is a weirdo. I don't get why people can't just not fukk with artists they don't fukk with. I like all of those new cats and just want to hear good music. FNL is probably better than anything Drake has done (while we're here), but Drake is a better pure emcee than Cole from a technical standpoint. Better with wordplay and he's more witty and is more sound in his flows. Cole is arguably the better artist due to his subject matter though he exaggerates (all that walking through evil shyt on Let Nas Down :comeon:). But they all have their qualities.

Whats the surprise?

Songs like 'bytch don't Kill My Vibe' 'Adhd' 'Swimming Pools' prove that Kendrick can pen hits as well, but when he pens hits he can also add social commentary that drake doesn't offer in his tracks.

Musically GKMc is better than any Drake album.

Is J Cole a better rapper than 2pac? :mjpls:

I didn't answer that question because A) it has nothing to do with J.Cole being a blatantly superior emcee to Kanye West and B) I said I wasn't going to engage in said blatantly obvious argument with you. Stop trying.

How's that amazing lyricism on Yeezus btw? Much better rapping than Cole's bars on Born Sinner right? :pachaha: :pachaha: :pachaha:

That'd be why Drake shytted on Kendrick on BOTH songs they've been on... right? :comeon: :duck: :ohhh:


And Kendrick ain't even on the range of Lupe. Thats just disrespectful.

Kendrick's verse on fukkin' Problem was horrific, as was the rest of the song. Worst verse of his career. Drake's verse on Poetic Justice fantastic, but I've never been absolutely blown away by something Drake has said on a song while Kendrick has done that multiple times on all his projects. I don't think Drake has a Sing For Me, The Heart part 2, Real, Rigamortis, etc in him
