Who's The BEtter Rapper/Lyricist: Kendrick Lamar or J Cole

[(ob)Scene]

I see some of y'all not getting the point. Cole's buzz wasn't generated off of his music. It wasn't generated off of him being blogs b/c the blogs didn't even know who he was until after Jay had signed him. The blogs didn't even know Cole until Roc Nation pushed that very video I posted virally--thus allowing everyone else to find him whichever way they did. And don't front like no matter where you found him you didn't first know and see that he was a Roc Nation signee which helped peak your interest. No matter how you slice it he was catapulted up alongside the other freshman of the time b/c of his Jay/Roc Nation affiliation.

how you going tell people what peaked their interest

I haven't listened to one Rita Ora or J Elec song and they both Roc Nation

Damn dog, reading comprehension not your strong suit?

I said there would have been no J. Cole on blogs for fans to check if it weren't for Jay & Roc Nation b/c he wasn't on any blogs before getting signed.

Here's a timeline.

1.) Cole makes the right connections (possibly stemming from him going to college awhile w/ Vanessa Simmons; thus why he's always going on about shorty) and gets an opportunity to try out for Jay.

2.) The little nigga from the Ville got a deal.

3.) News breaks that Jay-Z has signed the first artist to his new Roc Nation imprint.

4.) That in the studio footage I posted earlier is pushed out to all the major video sites (payola in action; this is when I first heard of Cole. I thought the video was hilarious and searched him & found The Come Up)

5.) The Warm Up drops... takes some time to pick up steam. (This is where he picks up the first of his fanbase... more people catch on later as the months pass on)

6.) Cole finally starts picking up some major steam leading into his big arrival on "A Star Is Born" & the Friday Night Lights mixtape.

7.) Fast forward to his album and then where we are now.

All this stems from the Jay-Z connect whether you personally are aware of it or not. There was no J. Cole pulse, let alone a buzz, before the Jay-Z signing.

IMO Cole is bad, but Lamar is worse. Cole is the better rapper since he carries a song better, while Lamar forces his flow on the song and rhymes with himself. Lamar has the nerdy white boy flow, so on the surface he's probably the better technical lyricist, but Cole paints better pictures.

In sum, the winner between these two is Cole hands down.

He was in school at the time you dumb ass nigga....of course his buzz wasnt that big before jay

He wasnt doing it full time

I'm the dumbass but that was the best response you could give? lol J. Cole had already done graduated by the time Warm Up dropped. And you still missing the point... but like I said reading comprehension is not something everyone possesses so I understand.

Obscene sonnin this thread. It's not hard to understand but they're not grasping it. J. Cole is one of the few new generation rappers who didn't have to build a buzz to get signed. He was already on Roc Nation before anyone heard of him and that was the original reason he got placements on blogs. When he was first out he was touted as the first signee to Roc Nation and that information was included any time Cole was brought up for the first couple months. This is accurate history.

Yet these same people talk about nobody knew about Kendrick before he was signed to Dre while many people knew about him before Dre did. It's the same thing with 50... If you were in the tri-state area in the early 2000's you knew who he was before he signed with Shady because his mixtapes were all over the streets.

I have all his projects and he has some really good songs but I also think he's overrated and boring at times.

I first heard about Cole on here actually. It was the Warm Up thread, i dont remember if it was stickied or if the title mentioned he was Jay-Z's first artist. But the thread was a hot topic and in there I found out he was Jay's first artist. I never seen that viral video til just now.
