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

[DMTxTHC]

Can Kendrick do what J Cole do though, make those commercial records and still lyrical.

Work Out was lyrical?

 

[StillFaggyAF]

with poetic justice, Kendrick has a change to break into the mainstream

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~US US R&B US Rap



"Swimming Pools (Drank)" 61 ~~14 ~~~~~~11

up 10 spots from last week

Nobody's Perfect peaked at 61 for context

Even J Cole fans admitted his commercial Singles Work Out & Can't Get Enough were wack Songs and were generally recieved poorly by even his own fans. These were typical R&B/Pop Singles that everyone has heard a million times before a type of Song that's been made over and over by so many Rappers.

And how can Kendrick not do what J Cole did on those Singles? anyone can get Trey Songz to make them a Hook for the Song and feature on it doing the Hook for them on their own Song and Rap about women and hoes on the Verses. Everyone been doing that forever a million Songs like that exist an R7B Singer featuring doing the Hook for them while the Rapper Raps about women.

Kendrick Lemar does his own Hooks himself not only just does them himself but actually Harmonizes them too so watchu talkin bout

I fuck with Kendrick a lot more....Cole is cool though if he didn't produce he'd be a lot less entertaining

Poetic Justice > nobodys perfect> cant get enough and work out

Doesn't matter what you think, just know that Work out went platinum, Can't get enough went gold, and Nobody is perfect went platinum.

Ya'll going to be in for a reality check when Kendricks album sales comes in.

Nigga you went from j.cole being a better rapper that will have a better debut album to j cole has way more upside as a artist (don't even know what that fuck that means). You sounding like a theist that believes in science.

I do believe J Cole is a better rapper, to me J Cole can do what Kendrick can with spitting that lyrical shit, he did with The Come Up and Warm Up. Can Kendrick do what J Cole do though, make those commercial records and still lyrical. To me what made all the great rappers great is their ability to walk the line between commercial and underground, i don't think Kendrick has any mainstream appeal at all.

As far as straight spitting right now, i do believe Kendrick is spitting better.

yeah you right ... kendrick needs to make a dope track like "workout" ... that way he can really be down with dat "mainstream"

Usmarine is lost or is just a plain stan he don't get the fact anyone can get and R&B Singer to make them a Hook and feature on their Song/Single doing the Hook that's why most Rappers Jay Z, J Cole, Kanye, Nas, Rick Ross, 2pac etc get R&B Singers to do the Hooks on their Songs or Singles.

But there is actual Artists those who are Artists not just Rappers that craft, perform, sing, harmonize the Hooks themself. Do the Hooks themself being Artistic and creative these are the dope Artists opposed to just spitters

Stop being fucking stupid nigga, i didn't say it was. I said he can still be commercial (platinum singles) and be lyrical (see Rise and Shine, Looking for Trouble, Sideline Story).

You must be slow though none of the Singles mentioned featured an R&B Singer doing the Hook, he did the Hooks himself in all those Songs

You just don't get simple points about anyone can get an R&B Singer to make them a Hook and feature doing the Hook on their Songs you act as if what J Cole did by getting Trey Songz to give him a Hook for a Single is hard or something everyone aside from those good Artists who compose their own Hooks don't do

Drank is a stupid song though. I've heard better tracks from K. Dot

But cos J Cole is on Roc Nation and under Jay Z Usmarine will automatically ride his nuts same with anyone who was signed by Jay Z to the Roc Uncle Murda, True Life, Memphis Bleek, Peedi Crakk

Theres only 1 Roc Nation Rapper signed to Jay z he doesn't stan over and hop on his nuts K Koke

What makes it "stupid", just curious

 

[R.D.]

Song # 1


verse 1= raps from standpoint of young dumb nigga who made a mistake and shot the club up

verse 2= raps from typical young lost bird's viewpoint

verse 3= narrative making points on both sides and explaining from outsider's viewpoint

cant explain how i felt when i 1st heard it....one of most introspective songs i ever heard

so vivid and real
