      @@DrewEvans9 I can’t help but think that when Control dropped Cole might’ve been the only person mentioned that didn’t feel a way about it and actually understood what Dot was asking from them. On top of that he is the only person on that list that actually rose to the occasion and executed. The only one that maintained substance and has improved. I still see him and Dot as 2 sides of the same coin but Cole is the head on that coin right now no question. I can’t wait for the Fall Off because this could be the album that is the undeniable classic he really doesn’t have yet. Thank you for speaking on it.

      @@DrewEvans9 a moment such as finding an artist like J Cole comes once in a blue moon. As a fan you get to hear an artist's mixtape, and you start to believe in them in a time when they don't have a big following but you still listen aggressively to each and every release. When the recognition finally comes and everybody joins in, i feel good because more and more people can listen to what I listened to and enjoyed all along.

    COLE definitely has the number one spot, as we are 50 years into the genre, we are seeing a sort of gray spot where nobody is evolving the game with their flows.. everyone is just kind of sitting and releasing without actually trying to do anything new, Kendrick only released a year ago or so and there’s been nothing, drakes been shit for years and hasn’t evolved since mid 2010s. “Big” names in the game are just sitting around unlike J Cole, we have seen his music turn from “boring” and “mediocre” to consistently evolving. Getting better each and every feature and song he drops which is something I can’t say for really anybody in this game. with him dropping his final album soon enough, this album has MAD potential to be album of the DECADE. he has the chance to show his final work, his ever evolving skills and flows to make one last great piece of art that no doubt will be his best, it will all come full circle and he will be marked as one of the greatest… COLE WORLD 🙏

    I think J Cole BEEN ahead of Drake but this year he created separation between himself and K Dot. Kendrick could drop tomorrow and show that he still deserves the top spot but replay value is super important. Also, Cole is outta his mind with these verses lately and I think we still will continue to be in awe of what Cole releases for a while.

    The thing is, you’re trying to give the crown to a newer artist at all cost. An older artist could still sit on the thrown. The crown is indubitably Nas’ this year. Nas has put every rapper to sleep with his latest KD and Magic releases

    • @DrewEvans9
      @DrewEvans9  Год назад +1

      This is a good take, Nas has been killing things lately. He’s just not as hot as he use to be, so i guess I chose Cole cause he’s more hot/relevant in a certain way to the public, so his releases hit different. Not discrediting Nas in no way at all, if this makes sense.

      Both artist are great in their own ways, Kendrick is the bigger act with more accolades as you say. But in the Year 2023 Cole has been the best rapper, hands down IMO.
      Example: Lebron has more accolades than KD and is ranked higher overall but there has been some years KD has been the better player or has had a better year compared to Lebron.
