This is subjective so I will move on....
Do you think Gucci is a better lyricist than J Cole?
Gucci mayne is way better a lyricist than j cole.
not to mention, has a higher grasp of technical skills and intangibles.
j cole will never be able to match Gucci on.
j cole, doesn't even have an actual point to rapping.
he is a biter, and is not an emcee.
he doesn't have any actual story.
no real technical skills or mastery, besides biting nas.
which mean he has no technical rubrick as a rapper.
no great use of charisma, and his delivery and ability to be convincing is severely lacking.
to the point of non-existant.
duke has a college degree, but real talk...
he only used his smarts to bite nas,...
so, he can't be that great or that smart, either.
as I have heard a highschool white dropout named Eminem make more prolific songs, and lyrics.
almost twenty years ago, on infinite bite nas, and do it better.
shyt, fatjoe made a classic lp.
so,...I really don't give duke any credit at all.
biting nas, was wack nineteen years ago.
yet, j cole nineteen years later, is not even a noteworthy nas biter.
just to put in proper perspective how wack duke is.
at least when Gucci does bite, project pat.
like pretty much the entire south does.
he offers some technical advancement to the skillset.
plus, actually makes higher quality records.
that can be put side by side with some of pat's definitive work with no tail.
j cole, has not once,..made a nas style record or rhyme that rivals nas.
to put it in proper perspective and comparison between Gucci and j cole.
