If only more people used your logic. Kendrick is just straight up 20x more lyrically than Cole will EVER be, period. That being said it's ok to like Cole more. Liking something means you have the balls to admit their flaws and accept it. Cole is more accessible and relatable, I can't hate on that.
Lmao this just sounds like Cole trying to say you can't compare because they're different. If we just cut the bullshit, you can compare them and Cole loses in every aspect
@@user295.Cole wins in creating sonically better listenable songs while Kendrick takes more of a writing/lyrical side of rapping, both Legends at their own game which is what makes them different.
Ngl, I like Kendrick but the 1 thing I can't stand is the fact that me personally, I always have to search up a video explains what he's talking about in his songs. Especially Mr morale. Maybe it's just me but it was so deep and lyrical I didn't know what he was saying
@@natem2461 yeah Kendrick can definitely have a lot of hidden meaning in his art. I like that about him though. I will say that cole has some of the cleanest and easiest to understand flows in the game though! Both are amazing 🤝
The Big difference is in subject matter and primarily how they portray/view them. Kendrick always seems to look at the problem as a whole and how it affects EVERYONE and disects it's brutally. Cole seems to look at his experiences and relates it to him and will pierce the problem from how he's known it himself. Depends on how you look at it too. That's why I belive that Kendrick is more "liked" in the sense that because he is portraying problems in a universal matter, it means that EVERYONE can understand it, whereas Cole goes so interpersonal that when the subject matter clicks with yiu you can swear to Jesus that Cole is in your room rapping TO YOU. Also mat be why Cole fans will DIE on that hill, because he really clicked with them. (This also isn't to say that either of them can do the other side. Kendrick has really clicked with me personally and Cole can show problems in a universal matter, it's just that this is the commonality)
Lol I literally think of it the other way around. GKMC is Kendrick explaining his experiences as a 17-year old and the way he is able to fit a lot of small details into the songs on that album speaks of his greatness, whereas I usually get the impression that Cole speaks from a more general view/perspective or speaks from a different perspective than his own. With that said, I’m not claiming that they exclusively do the aforementioned and like the original comment said, they both tend to switch between personal experiences and general view. I would also like to mention that Cole has a handful of (very well-executed) “I’m the chosen one/better than your favorite rapper”-songs (MIDDLE CHILD, the feature on Johnny P’s Caddy, etc.), which I don’t remember Kendrick ever doing/don’t remember hearing a song of his like that. Both are great artists and I respect them both very much for their work, and they are without a doubt my Top 2 of this/their generation and in the end it basically just comes down to who you like the most/prefer to listen to.
I love Cole, but he doesn't have a project on the level of GKMC, TPAB or DAMN. in his catalogue. Cole is an amazing rapper, but Kendrick is making movies. Simple as that.

@@impyasad okay to be honest I didn’t think about the sideline story, I would agree that that’s not an 8- although I would argue that kod is still and 8 but that’s just me I guess 🤷🏾♂️
I 100% enjoy listening to Cole more, and I've prefered his music for years. He feels more relatable and down to earth, but Kendrick is 100% better when it comes to storytelling, catalogue, and artistry. It's just too deep to compare
To be fair to Cole TPAB and GKMC were Never his story to make. The man grew up in Fayetteville NC to A single white mother. His lack of rich Hiphop worthy experience is the only thing Keeping him behind kendrick. His life just was never a catalyst for that type of discography. skill wise I honestly think Kendrick has nothing over Cole. Cole has the pen he just never seems to catch that Career defining inspiration.
Kendrick’s the better story teller (Sing About me, Tammy’s Song, Keisha’s Song, Art of Peer Pressure, Auntie diaries. Kendrick is more diverse: From Making songs with eminem, Taylor Swift, SZA, Rae Shemmurd, Kodak and Jay Z. Kendrick directs/creates better music videos. He also puts on some of the most talked about live performances . Has multiple flows. The only skill Jcole out does Kendrick is in punch lines.
@@herivaldoagostinho1694 you cant be a better lyricist then someone really unless its like cole vs lil pump theres a point where two people are top tier lyricists it just becomes who do you like more
I agree with you. People are just sleeping on him and just saying Kendrick is better because he's the most popular. Just because he won Grammys for these albums doesn't make them insane I think they are really overrated
@@dreadlord1265 The warm up released when I was in highschool and it spoke to me, I seen myself in most of the songs. Friday Night Lights came out and it was even better, That’s 2 classic mixtapes. Friday Night Lights is possibly a top 5 mixtape of all time. The sideline imo is a classic debut album. Is it a Gkmc? No but it’s still a classic. Born Sinner is probably the most underrated project. 2014 forest hill drive is a classic, 4 your eyez only another classic, The only miss you can say Cole have is maybe KOD. But it still was an extremely good album. Lewis Street Ep was even great. Section 80 is a classic but had highs and lows, Gkmc is the closest thing to Illmatic imo definitely a classic, Tpab is a good album but the replay value sucks, I listen to it twice a year. Damn is a solid album. And Mr. Morales is very very overrated Imo. Me personally I believe J cole have more projects with no misses when you dig deep into his discography. Kendrick released 5 projects in 14 years.
@@wooskionehundred1788 um have you uh listened to any kenny albums or sre you just saying that? Tpab has lots of replay value and it’s literally the best album of the 2010s break that shit down word for word beat by beat j cole never has anything even close to that. How tf is mr morale overrated everywhere i go i see people hating on it just cuz it wasnt as good as tpab. But i do understand where your coming from just still im talking about word for word what it means not just ok it sounds good i guess
@@dreadlord1265 I’ve been listening to K dot since 2010, just my opinion Tpab doesn’t have much replay volume. And it’s better albums that are similar stylistically than Tpab for example The Patents of Nobility. Cole doesn’t have a Gkmc not many rappers do. But imo he’s still the better rapper. Nas dropped Illmatic which captured New York in the 90’s brilliantly, but I still have a few rappers that are better in my opinion, lyrics more relatable, more soulful, more intricate records, and also sonically good. I feel like it shouldn’t be a argument because Cole checks all the boxes. 3 stacks is in my top 5, but doesn’t have a Tpab or Gkmc. But Kendrick also doesn’t have a Speakerboxxx or Stankonia or even Hey Ya! It’s all opinions.
J Cole he is The King of Features and Lyrics his Rapping it's Top Tier his Pen and Pad it's something serious The Goat Legendary Artists at least you can understand him The way he Put words Together it's very Impressive
Cole is a whole different lane of music Kendrick is a whole different lane of music Kendrick is more preachy and lyrically talented and oriented Cole goes for feeling and esthetics then the more preachy lanes and when he does do preachy things there not to the kendrick level anf he stays in his lane as does kendrick stay in his own they dont diss or argue they both agree one another is a goat
He has a damn imo but I do prefer fhd and 4yeo to good kid but they’re all in the same level for me in terms of my favorites. As a concept good kid > fhd but I’m not sure imo
Clearly you havent even listened to kendricks discography. Even though music is subjective its unfathomable for someone to consider any cole album better than TPAB
@@doublea4012 no it doesnt not. Certain aspects of art are objective. For examole saying born sinner is better than tpab is like saying ben simmons is better than lebron james. Objectively wrong
I’m sticking with J Cole. Him and Travis mainly got me into rap. I still appreciate Kendrick and what he’s doing but Cole gets disrespected a lot more than he should
All I got to say is J cole 4your eyes only is on of the best albums ever and for me that album and the story telling in it make him better to Kendrick to me
All I’m saying is that in 2023, if we got a Kendrick song ft. Cole, Cole is WASHING Kendrick on it. Hands down. You know it, I know, Fantano knows it and these two know it.
@@retnuh_art listening to everything Kendrick dropped in 2022 and listening to all the stuff Cole dropped and was featured on, how could you not. Kendrick doesn’t have a verse anywhere near Johnny P’s Caddy.
coles been going crazy on tracks in recent years, his rhyme schemes and word play are on a level far superior to kendrick’s, at one point in time kendrick may have been better tryna cole but all of coles 2022 verses were far better than kendricks
Kdot can go out and rap his ass off if he wants. I think every hip-hop fan knows that, but we also know he never been one for the hits and shit (except for damn). Kendrick could probably match Cole if he wanted to , but Kdot music been moving in a different direction. He not making music for the ears, he makin music for the mind and the soul, and that's the difference between Cole and Kendrick. Kendrick doesn't need to drop a Johnny P's Caddy or a London to remind people, because nobody will forget what Kendrick can do rapping wise, so that's why I think your take is horrendous
Huge Cole fan I relate to his music more he’s my fav modern artist because of that. It’s just that Cole doesn’t have a Good kid mad city level project let alone a to pimp a butterfly level album. Cole speaks of a topic then usually moves on to the next bar about something else. Or maybe he just isn’t as detailed idk what I’m trying to say…. But Kendrick dives into a subject with so much detail it’s really incredible. They both can rap in sense of cadence, delivery, wordplay even melody. I just think Kendrick really takes that deep deep dive and it’s crazy cuz Cole can get deep just not as detailed with his deepness hahahaha if that makes any sense idk.
It's arguable if we are talking who is the best mc (even though I prefer Kendrick I can respect the argument). But if we are talking overall artistry and discography Kendrick is miles ahead.
It depends on what you’re looking for. Kendrick is the kind of emcee whose works would be appreciated by academics. The diction, complexity and hidden layers. J. Cole, on the other hand, is more of a rap technician. He has more (and better) multisyllabic rhyme schemes, punchlines and wordplay. J.Cole is the type of lyricist who might hold his own in a rap battle. Again, it boils down to preference and what moves you. I’d choose J. Cole any day, anytime
1. She gives it all to her daddy but she don't know her father 2. The whole Nosetalgia verse is huge ass punchline 3. I've got it in my genes You probly think I'm talkin 'bout a pistol but I'm talkin 'bout a blood of a warrior 4. Until I see Big, Pac, see Pun but this ain't Eazy. I can't take a Big L - my city needs me 5. Grown man never should bite their tongue unless you eatin pussy that smell like it's a stale plum These right of the bat, no genius, no google, just memory. I bet he had something sicker than these but I can't remember
J cole has more accessible discography which is relatable to most of the people. Im not black. So.... I can't relate to most of the things Kendrick says. I can visualize but can't relate. So I'd prefer Cole for an easier listen always. But, When it comes to culture impact then obviously its Kendrick .
@@word562 nah man, maybe for Americans. I appreciate Kendrick as an artist but I can't listen to a full Kendrick project in one sitting. I can't relate to what he's saying. Cole speaks more to your soul. He's got the deeper meaning for those looking to dissect each bar but also sounds good on the surface. They could have the same subject matter but it sounds better when Cole does it because he makes you feel like you're going through it with him. GKMC is still Kendick's best album to me because it's more personal. But hey maybe I just can't get the American perspective of things
Cole debatably doesn’t even have a classic album. He has quality records but nothing that has pushed the envelope or influenced the culture like Kendrick has
I can see FHD not being a perfect album, but let's wait for The Fall Off. I think Cole has been working on that album for probably 5 years already. And if a song like The Climb Back didn't even make it to The Fall Off, I give it a real shot at being his best and even a perfect album.
Do people just forget how big 2014 Forest Hills was? not to mention the run of features he’s been on, I do love Kendrick but if we’re talking who’s the better Rapper it’s Cole in my opinion but Kendrick does make better music overall
ADHD, Poe Mans Dream, Money Trees, Sing About Me, Ignorance is Bliss, These Walls, Opposites Attract, You Ain't Gotta Lie, Wanna Be Heard, Recipe, Hair Down, Silent Hill, The Heart pt2, Rigamortis.. I can do this all day
I’m taking Cole though fr. It’ll take too long for me to explain why, but that’s where I stand. I’d never tell anybody they’re wrong for picking Kendrick though
Kendrick's albums are collectively better than J. Coles discography, however I still think you can argue for J. Cole here. Kendrick is very dormant, only dropping an album 5 years after his last one. J cole however has a much bigger discography and is very active within the community, espically with his label.
The socio-political messaging on KDots albums after GKMC, limited the replayability of Kendrick's music for me. I enjoy his other projects (he's a great artist), but I have to be in a mood to listen to it. J Cole tackles similar subject matters as well as other things such as infidelity, self love, etc. J Cole also performs his music in a more relatable and "common man" way. Both are great artist.
@@poetryismyting8854 nah Kendrick's style just doesn't sound as nice. They could both be complex and have all the double, triple or even quadruple entendres but Cole's just got better delivery to me. Lyrically they're actually very close in talent but Cole's just better at laying it out for the audience.
@@MrVinjex Okay but lyrically Kendrick is better, and more importantly musically he is FAR superior. Cole can’t release a TPAB, he just doesn’t have the same musical talent of Kendrick. TPAB is a mixture or funk, jazz, rap, even a bit of soul to make one of the best instrumentals on any album ever. Kendrick has consistently showed an ability to push the rap genre into new areas, with a diverse range of instrumentals and structure that Cole can’t come close to replicating
@@dustinmartin6524 no MOST IMPORTANT would be that the music listeners can relate to you and what you say and how you say it, Cole has that easily. It’s not about simple, it’s not about dumb. How the hell you want your message to truly get across if you keep talking over the people’s head the message was intended for? Would wouldn’t explain a particular process to a 5 year old the way you would someone 25, sometimes you have to make the message more easily digestible. Coles balances that perfectly, Kendrick at times is on some other sh*t…
Kendrick is my bias as well but I feel like from kod onward, J. Cole has entered his prime and is dropping fire albums and killer features. I still love his earlier stuff as well but right now, he’s untouchable.
The best example as to why these two should never be compared is because with J Coles music you get everything out of first listen, he’s a commercial rapper, it’s surface level and easy to understand. Where as with Kendrick, there’s still stuff in finding in Section 80 & GKMC over 10 years later…
Y'all think J Cole penmanship is like simple or something. His wordplay goes over your head and he makes feel good music. Kendrick is a little more political than Cole is and he is more messy with his writing. J Cole has perfectly organized bars and multi syllables and is just structured a lot better. Talk shit in the comments.
I’m a true Cole fan since his Born sinner album . I don’t care who is better between them . Cole a humble guy already said it on Heavens Ep “Some people say that I'm running third, they threw the bronze at me Behind Drake and Dot, yeah, them n*****is superstars to me” So i think the comparison should stop. Kdot is widely accepted than Cole because of his GKMC album. Cole has played a role in the career of Kendrick at eay stage . Let them be Because of this comparison we can’t even get the Joint Album . I’m sure they’ll release it when they retire!!!!!! #COLEWORLD
He’s just recognizing his own because he’s probably listened to him for longer, he’s probably implying that someone else could have a J cole bias if they listened to him longer
Kendrick is a poet very similar to how Pac was, whereas Cole is in a realm of a Nas or Jay Z where he’s more of a bar spitter. I’d say Cole is better if we’re looking for bars and punchlines, but Kendrick is where it’s at when it comes to concepts and messages from the music
I always describe J.Cole as a Honed and Trained Skill. You can become J.Cole if you practiced hard enough. But Kendrick is a Generational Talent, you cannot imitate Kendrick Lamar
Bro u damn delusional, anybody can become kdot but j. Cole, I mean if u look at Coles features, intellect, producing, bars,wordplay and lyricism then there's no one who'll be as good as cole or even him, cause he always gives u something new and creative and double entendres, mixtapes and albums, j.cole is honestly a once in a lifetime artist you'll ever see or witness
@@GototheluiI’d argue you’re off here. Because there are a TON of rappers that “sound” like Cole. So many emulate him already. So then the question is, why is no other big mainstream act like Cole? Like, there are big rappers that are kind of in that Kendrick lane (And even KDot has aped a lot from YE). Like Vince Staples, is definitely in that Kendrick lane (especially with his SELF-TITLES record). But how may ppl actually sound like Cole that has big records? What other artist is making. Albums as radically subdued as 4YEO? Nobody. Joey Badass is closest but even his stuff wasn’t as intimate.
To write Cole off this fast is insanity! Fuck what these dudes and Fantano talking about I grew up up with Cole and Kendrick. They are elite craftsmen at what they do. But to say Kendrick eclipses him is crazy… that’s comes with not listening to Cole with the same intent as Kdot. I’m not gonna lie there’s too much bias when discussing this because people role with narratives instead of listening for themselves. Most people not even listening to either KDOT or Cole but will vote KDOT simply because it’s the majority. Cole isn’t a better rapper than KDOT but he’s a better writer without a doubt. And if it came strictly down to pen work, Cole with dismantle KDOT, end of discussion.
There's really no debate though... I think maybe in like 2011 you could have this discussion but after 2015, Kendrick just blew past Cole in a way he can't really compete anymore. I think you can compare Cole and Drake cause they're discographies are about at the same level although the kind of music they make isn't similar
As you Said yourself “Their Music isent that similar”. I Think its hard to compare j Cole and drake. Drake has made fantastic hits, but at the same time he has dropped medicore albums after medicore albums. With j cole theres always a guarantee for atleast a quality album.
@@Bucheria i Said mediocre albums not bad. I Think take Care, nothing was the same, if your reading this its too late are all great projects. Views scorpion and more life has really good songs, but all have Way to many fillers. Still enjoyable though. Certified loverboy and honestly nevermind did nothing for me. Not more than 2 tracks i like. Im not even saying i have j Cole over drake cause drake has made a whole lot of good songs aswell. I prefer kendrick easily to both of Them though
Cole and Drake are not in the same league and Cole raps way better than Drake. Kendrick never blew past Cole lyrically. You making it seem like Cole sucks as a rapper.
Are u actually fucking serious comparing J. Cole to Drake? That is so laughable because J. Cole is definitely the best rapper now period with his growth over the last 9 or 10 years! Drake is just more of an R & B/ Pop Artist that happens to occasionally rap.💯🤔
@@iansmart4158 In what world is 4YE0 on par with GKMC, fuck TPAB, just GKMC? 4YEO for me is a classic album, but there's levels to that and no one is putting that on the level of any legendary album.
Kendrick might have the better catalogue, but doesn’t bring artists together like Cole did with for example the revenge tour albums, all the rappers surely had an amazing sesh on those. He brings fans together yearly on dreamville festivals, he is also producing songs and is killing it on most features and appears quite more often on them. Kendrick better rapper Cole better artist Nonetheless enjoy both because it’s stupid to choose only one of them.
Nobody wants to talk about that though, I be saying he the rap Jesus. He is actually an artist of the people fans and contemporaries. He reaches out and forms unions and makes 🔥 in the process with some unlikely pairs like 21 Savage and Lil Durk. He actually calls out the youth on KOD that leads to a positive one on one conversation with Lil Pump (youth). Not to mention music is just far more relatable and you feel what he’s saying. He’s the 🐐 for sure gifted, real, humble and wants better for his people. People get consumed with Kendrick’s takes on social issues, but Cole really at the White House, at Ferguson, Missouri, protesting in NC, making songs about society issues and others addressing his black queens maaaaan stop it, it’s Cole all day!
Let’s not act like Cole can’t hold his own weight. Kendrick might be the better artist but Cole consistently puts out fire on every verse, hook & feature
Love Cole, but Kendrick is just better at making songs, albums, song writing, voice manipulation and writing. Only thing Cole has over kendrick is his ability to produce. Cole doesn’t even have a better project than Untitled Unmastered besides the Off Season but even that’s debatable.
No way you said 2014 is worse than Untitled lol. Imo I'd put 2014 and The Offseason solidly above Untitled, and 4YEO slightly above simply because it has 4YEO.
Lmaooooooooo. I swear god kendrick have the worst fan base ever. Kendrick only 2 amazing albums that you can argue being better than j cole discography imo 2014 fhd is better than both cuz its wayyyy more relatable than tpab and gkmc. Damn is mid mr.morale is mid-trash untitled is pretty good imo but 4yeo fnl the warm up are better than kdot discography except tpab and gkmc.

The thing about Cole is that even after all these years his pen and flows have gotten even better. Kendrick while great, his pen kind of peaked around GKMC-TPAB era. Maybe because Mr. Morale was a personal album and Damn was personal, Kendricks pen and flows have actually kind of been declining, where as Cole has been pumping out classic verse after classic verse for the past 3 years. Can't say the same about Kendrick. Even though Kendrick does have the better overall body of work, right now if I'm judging bar for bar, flow for flow; I'm choosing Cole.

The Big difference is in subject matter and primarily how they portray/view them. Kendrick always seems to look at the problem as a whole and how it affects EVERYONE and disects it's brutally. Cole seems to look at his experiences and relates it to him and will pierce the problem from how he's known it himself.

(This also isn't to say that either of them can do the other side. Kendrick has really clicked with me personally and Cole can show problems in a universal matter, it's just that this is the commonality)
More people relate to Cole more than Kendrick. Kendrick is seen as a sculptor of conceptual albums despite Cole attempting to with 4YEO and KOD
Lol I literally think of it the other way around. GKMC is Kendrick explaining his experiences as a 17-year old and the way he is able to fit a lot of small details into the songs on that album speaks of his greatness, whereas I usually get the impression that Cole speaks from a more general view/perspective or speaks from a different perspective than his own.
With that said, I’m not claiming that they exclusively do the aforementioned and like the original comment said, they both tend to switch between personal experiences and general view.
I would also like to mention that Cole has a handful of (very well-executed) “I’m the chosen one/better than your favorite rapper”-songs (MIDDLE CHILD, the feature on Johnny P’s Caddy, etc.), which I don’t remember Kendrick ever doing/don’t remember hearing a song of his like that.

I 100% enjoy listening to Cole more, and I've prefered his music for years. He feels more relatable and down to earth, but Kendrick is 100% better when it comes to storytelling, catalogue, and artistry. It's just too deep to compare
To be fair to Cole TPAB and GKMC were Never his story to make. The man grew up in Fayetteville NC to A single white mother. His lack of rich Hiphop worthy experience is the only thing Keeping him behind kendrick. His life just was never a catalyst for that type of discography. skill wise I honestly think Kendrick has nothing over Cole. Cole has the pen he just never seems to catch that Career defining inspiration.
Kendrick’s the better story teller (Sing About me, Tammy’s Song, Keisha’s Song, Art of Peer Pressure, Auntie diaries.
Kendrick is more diverse: From Making songs with eminem, Taylor Swift, SZA, Rae Shemmurd, Kodak and Jay Z.
Kendrick directs/creates better music videos.
He also puts on some of the most talked about live performances .
Has multiple flows.
The only skill Jcole out does Kendrick is in punch lines.

Cole will never get the recog he deserves. And it’s hard to respect a musical entity who doesn’t get that.

Don't care if it's funny. That's the truth@@dreadlord1265
I’m definitely choosing Cole over Kendrick.
Ong
Give me reasons why like honestly there is no debate
@@dreadlord1265 The warm up released when I was in highschool and it spoke to me, I seen myself in most of the songs. Friday Night Lights came out and it was even better, That’s 2 classic mixtapes. Friday Night Lights is possibly a top 5 mixtape of all time. The sideline imo is a classic debut album. Is it a Gkmc? No but it’s still a classic. Born Sinner is probably the most underrated project. 2014 forest hill drive is a classic, 4 your eyez only another classic, The only miss you can say Cole have is maybe KOD. But it still was an extremely good album. Lewis Street Ep was even great. Section 80 is a classic but had highs and lows, Gkmc is the closest thing to Illmatic imo definitely a classic, Tpab is a good album but the replay value sucks, I listen to it twice a year. Damn is a solid album. And Mr. Morales is very very overrated Imo. Me personally I believe J cole have more projects with no misses when you dig deep into his discography. Kendrick released 5 projects in 14 years.
@@wooskionehundred1788 um have you uh listened to any kenny albums or sre you just saying that? Tpab has lots of replay value and it’s literally the best album of the 2010s break that shit down word for word beat by beat j cole never has anything even close to that. How tf is mr morale overrated everywhere i go i see people hating on it just cuz it wasnt as good as tpab. But i do understand where your coming from just still im talking about word for word what it means not just ok it sounds good i guess
@@dreadlord1265 I’ve been listening to K dot since 2010, just my opinion Tpab doesn’t have much replay volume. And it’s better albums that are similar stylistically than Tpab for example The Patents of Nobility. Cole doesn’t have a Gkmc not many rappers do. But imo he’s still the better rapper. Nas dropped Illmatic which captured New York in the 90’s brilliantly, but I still have a few rappers that are better in my opinion, lyrics more relatable, more soulful, more intricate records, and also sonically good. I feel like it shouldn’t be a argument because Cole checks all the boxes. 3 stacks is in my top 5, but doesn’t have a Tpab or Gkmc. But Kendrick also doesn’t have a Speakerboxxx or Stankonia or even Hey Ya! It’s all opinions.
Cole goat
I love Kendrick, but I think J.Cole is the best rapper who is currently active
J Cole he is The King of Features and Lyrics his Rapping it's Top Tier his Pen and Pad it's something serious The Goat Legendary Artists at least you can understand him The way he Put words Together it's very Impressive

Honestly I used to say Kendrick but in recent years I've actually been fw Cole more
Cole is a whole different lane of music

Kendrick is more preachy and lyrically talented and oriented
Cole goes for feeling and esthetics then the more preachy lanes and when he does do preachy things there not to the kendrick level anf he stays in his lane as does kendrick stay in his own they dont diss or argue they both agree one another is a goat

Kdot can go out and rap his ass off if he wants. I think every hip-hop fan knows that, but we also know he never been one for the hits and shit (except for damn). Kendrick could probably match Cole if he wanted to , but Kdot music been moving in a different direction. He not making music for the ears, he makin music for the mind and the soul, and that's the difference between Cole and Kendrick. Kendrick doesn't need to drop a Johnny P's Caddy or a London to remind people, because nobody will forget what Kendrick can do rapping wise, so that's why I think your take is horrendous
Coles my vibe, Kdot is a certified lyricist
Huge Cole fan I relate to his music more he’s my fav modern artist because of that. It’s just that Cole doesn’t have a Good kid mad city level project let alone a to pimp a butterfly level album. Cole speaks of a topic then usually moves on to the next bar about something else. Or maybe he just isn’t as detailed idk what I’m trying to say…. But Kendrick dives into a subject with so much detail it’s really incredible. They both can rap in sense of cadence, delivery, wordplay even melody. I just think Kendrick really takes that deep deep dive and it’s crazy cuz Cole can get deep just not as detailed with his deepness hahahaha if that makes any sense idk.
Love the redveil record in the back
It's arguable if we are talking who is the best mc (even though I prefer Kendrick I can respect the argument). But if we are talking overall artistry and discography Kendrick is miles ahead.
Lol nooo ..hahaha Cole is miles apart sounding far more epic. Kendrick has annoying voice.
@@johnnybrix5308* beautiful voice
J COLE 👏WILL NEVER 👏RELEASE AN ALBUM 👏AS GOOD AS 👏TPAB 👏AND GKMC👏. Let’s stop comparing these two.
not even as good as damn
My answer is I rocks with both of them there style goes hand to hand they are and will always be the Tales of Two Kings.
It depends on what you’re looking for.
Kendrick is the kind of emcee whose works would be appreciated by academics. The diction, complexity and hidden layers.
J. Cole, on the other hand, is more of a rap technician. He has more (and better) multisyllabic rhyme schemes, punchlines and wordplay. J.Cole is the type of lyricist who might hold his own in a rap battle.
Again, it boils down to preference and what moves you. I’d choose J. Cole any day, anytime
Lol
Always trust corny j Cole loving children to do some stupid shit like spelling out MC 💀
Cole is not Better Technician Than Kendrick Buggin Lol
@@herivaldoagostinho1694 can you think of 5 punchlines from Kendrick, right off the bat?

2. The whole Nosetalgia verse is huge ass punchline
3. I've got it in my genes
You probly think I'm talkin 'bout a pistol but I'm talkin 'bout a blood of a warrior

J cole has more accessible discography which is relatable to most of the people. Im not black. So.... I can't relate to most of the things Kendrick says. I can visualize but can't relate.
So I'd prefer Cole for an easier listen always.
But, When it comes to culture impact then obviously its Kendrick .

They could have the same subject matter but it sounds better when Cole does it because he makes you feel like you're going through it with him.

I love both, both are top 2, It's them 2 and then after a wide gap everybody else
Kendrick's albums are collectively better than J. Coles discography, however I still think you can argue for J. Cole here. Kendrick is very dormant, only dropping an album 5 years after his last one. J cole however has a much bigger discography and is very active within the community, espically with his label.
Notsure if being active in the community has anything with being agreat rapper though
The socio-political messaging on KDots albums after GKMC, limited the replayability of Kendrick's music for me. I enjoy his other projects (he's a great artist), but I have to be in a mood to listen to it. J Cole tackles similar subject matters as well as other things such as infidelity, self love, etc. J Cole also performs his music in a more relatable and "common man" way. Both are great artist.
Ahhh You like it basic . Okay gotcha
@@poetryismyting8854 nah Kendrick's style just doesn't sound as nice. They could both be complex and have all the double, triple or even quadruple entendres but Cole's just got better delivery to me. Lyrically they're actually very close in talent but Cole's just better at laying it out for the audience.
@@MrVinjex Okay but lyrically Kendrick is better, and more importantly musically he is FAR superior. Cole can’t release a TPAB, he just doesn’t have the same musical talent of Kendrick. TPAB is a mixture or funk, jazz, rap, even a bit of soul to make one of the best instrumentals on any album ever. Kendrick has consistently showed an ability to push the rap genre into new areas, with a diverse range of instrumentals and structure that Cole can’t come close to replicating
@@dustinmartin6524 no MOST IMPORTANT would be that the music listeners can relate to you and what you say and how you say it, Cole has that easily. It’s not about simple, it’s not about dumb. How the hell you want your message to truly get across if you keep talking over the people’s head the message was intended for? Would wouldn’t explain a particular process to a 5 year old the way you would someone 25, sometimes you have to make the message more easily digestible. Coles balances that perfectly, Kendrick at times is on some other sh*t…
You can argue J Cole is a better feature artist but albums and overall artistry it’s Kendrick easily.
Kendrick is my bias as well but I feel like from kod onward, J. Cole has entered his prime and is dropping fire albums and killer features. I still love his earlier stuff as well but right now, he’s untouchable.
The best example as to why these two should never be compared is because with J Coles music you get everything out of first listen, he’s a commercial rapper, it’s surface level and easy to understand. Where as with Kendrick, there’s still stuff in finding in Section 80 & GKMC over 10 years later…
Y'all think J Cole penmanship is like simple or something. His wordplay goes over your head and he makes feel good music. Kendrick is a little more political than Cole is and he is more messy with his writing. J Cole has perfectly organized bars and multi syllables and is just structured a lot better. Talk shit in the comments.
Cole only has punchlines and producing when compared and Kenny takes the rest
I’m a true Cole fan since his Born sinner album . I don’t care who is better between them . Cole a humble guy already said it on Heavens Ep
“Some people say that I'm running third, they threw the bronze at me
Behind Drake and Dot, yeah, them n*****is superstars to me”
So i think the comparison should stop. Kdot is widely accepted than Cole because of his GKMC album. Cole has played a role in the career of Kendrick at eay stage . Let them be
Because of this comparison we can’t even get the Joint Album . I’m sure they’ll release it when they retire!!!!!! #COLEWORLD
J cole is the best of all times dead or alive!!!!!
There both beast mode but Kendrick is on another level of lyrical flow. IJS
Again you must include the mixtapes
Real
No like it would help Cole
Kendrick has has still better mixtapes than Cole
Why does ant constantly call any pro kendrick opinion bias
He’s just recognizing his own because he’s probably listened to him for longer, he’s probably implying that someone else could have a J cole bias if they listened to him longer
well every opinion is biased for example cole is my favorite rapper ever so id pick him
Because they are biased. Everybody says Kennedy better just because they like it more My favorite rappers aren't the best
Kendrick is a poet very similar to how Pac was, whereas Cole is in a realm of a Nas or Jay Z where he’s more of a bar spitter. I’d say Cole is better if we’re looking for bars and punchlines, but Kendrick is where it’s at when it comes to concepts and messages from the music
Cole world baby ain’t nothin sunny

Like, there are big rappers that are kind of in that Kendrick lane (And even KDot has aped a lot from YE). Like Vince Staples, is definitely in that Kendrick lane (especially with his SELF-TITLES record).
But how may ppl actually sound like Cole that has big records? What other artist is making. Albums as radically subdued as 4YEO?
Nobody. Joey Badass is closest but even his stuff wasn’t as intimate.

True. Jermaine Cole doesn't have a To Pimp a Butterfly level album. 🔥
To write Cole off this fast is insanity! Fuck what these dudes and Fantano talking about I grew up up with Cole and Kendrick. They are elite craftsmen at what they do. But to say Kendrick eclipses him is crazy… that’s comes with not listening to Cole with the same intent as Kdot. I’m not gonna lie there’s too much bias when discussing this because people role with narratives instead of listening for themselves. Most people not even listening to either KDOT or Cole but will vote KDOT simply because it’s the majority. Cole isn’t a better rapper than KDOT but he’s a better writer without a doubt. And if it came strictly down to pen work, Cole with dismantle KDOT, end of discussion.

Kendrick might have the better catalogue, but doesn’t bring artists together like Cole did with for example the revenge tour albums, all the rappers surely had an amazing sesh on those. He brings fans together yearly on dreamville festivals, he is also producing songs and is killing it on most features and appears quite more often on them.
Kendrick better rapper
Cole better artist
Nonetheless enjoy both because it’s stupid to choose only one of them.
Nobody wants to talk about that though, I be saying he the rap Jesus. He is actually an artist of the people fans and contemporaries. He reaches out and forms unions and makes 🔥 in the process with some unlikely pairs like 21 Savage and Lil Durk. He actually calls out the youth on KOD that leads to a positive one on one conversation with Lil Pump (youth). Not to mention music is just far more relatable and you feel what he’s saying. He’s the 🐐 for sure gifted, real, humble and wants better for his people. People get consumed with Kendrick’s takes on social issues, but Cole really at the White House, at Ferguson, Missouri, protesting in NC, making songs about society issues and others addressing his black queens maaaaan stop it, it’s Cole all day!

@@arch1vst i’d listen to 2014 FHD over any Kendrick (mid) album any day of the week lmao. he’s not bad but jeez mfs think he’s the next coming of christ with his mid music. his voice is also hella squeaky
@@kevdes honestly lmao, Ant goes wild for TPAB as if it’s the bible like relax bro it’s just a mid album
Kendrick has a cult like following
Cole is if you want to hear true rap and bars, if you want deep shit, Kdot, thats the end of the convo but inna vs? Cole swipes
J coles music is more mainstream and popular among more ppl but kendricks audience are more serious hip hop fans
The thing about Cole is that even after all these years his pen and flows have gotten even better. Kendrick while great, his pen kind of peaked around GKMC-TPAB era. Maybe because Mr. Morale was a personal album and Damn was personal, Kendricks pen and flows have actually kind of been declining, where as Cole has been pumping out classic verse after classic verse for the past 3 years. Can't say the same about Kendrick. Even though Kendrick does have the better overall body of work, right now if I'm judging bar for bar, flow for flow; I'm choosing Cole.
You don't rate 'Damn'? I can't take u serious
The best thing J. Cole ever did was the beat to Hiiipower
@Nikita Muntean wut? You're delusional. Cole is not half the artist kendrick is. Also Im not knocking on Cole,the beat of Hiiipower is super dope
😂😂🤣🤣😭😭
They may sound different but they do tackle the same subjects, basically personal life, traumatic events, anything that happened.
Kendrick and Cole are equal they are the greatest and I'll top them some day
Im sure Kendrick picks Cole before him and Cole picks Kendrick before himself.
