And everyone is going to be bias and stick to their personal favorite or their favorite feat.Д¬ole is dope. There are so many rappers that accomplished great things. Is it the one who was the most charismatic? Is it the the one who is still undefeated? Is it the one who captured the attention of the world, even if it was for just a moment? Is it the boxer who had one amazing year where he was everywhere? Is the guy who had that one match that people talked about for ages? Is it the boxer who had the most matches? Or the boxer with an amazing winning streak? Etc etc etc. Mike Tyson said that itвЂ™s difficult to name the greatest boxer of all time because there are so many Goats for so many different reasons. Which leads me to something I bring up about arguments concerning Top 5вЂ™s and GOATS. KDot fans always want to bring up the fact that Kendrick won a Pulitzer.Д«ut when has Kendrick ever released an album all by himself and gone platinum? Cole on the other hand has done this multiple times. They are both different but they are both great. But Cole plays instruments and can produce an album all by himself while Kendrick works with others. Kendrick can write way better than what Cole can write. ItвЂ™s why a joint album would be amazing to get to hear.ДЇor me, Cole is the superior musician. However, as time passed, the most dedicated fans can see that they are very different despite having overlapping similarities. This might be because of the nostalgia of how they came up together and the rumored Aquenemi II. After all this time, they are still being compared to each other. They each were able to create a wide variety of songs.ДЄgain, the comparisons continued. While people want to debate, when they were both coming up they had very similar styles, conscious but aggressive, laidback but energГ©tic. This is why they were compared all the time and viewed to being similar. They quickly became friends and being young artists that they were (meaning less business minded, more focused on the craft) they played around with the idea to make an album together (LAMAR/Aquenemi II/you make up a name). They wanted to meet their вЂњrival.вЂќ Since each of them were being called Hip HopвЂ™s Savior. They knew they were going to be at the same festival. They still heard about each other though. This was being said in their own respective bubbles. KDot was being called the West CoastвЂ™s and/or Hip HopвЂ™s savior, the new protege for Dre, and Tupac reincarnated. While they were both coming up, around the same time, Cole was being called Hip HopвЂ™s savior and the new protege for Jay. Cole and KDot were on the come up around the same time. II.) IвЂ™ve typed this before, IвЂ™ll type it again. that don't make Cole overrated, that just means that his objective as a rapper doesn't align with your interest in the genre (maybe, just spitting a thought) He has his lane, yea alot of people don't like it but millions of people who simply don't want to go deeper into lyrical rap love that they have an artist who can still get into interesting topics through their lyrics at a simpler level. I really like J Cole, I don't think he's the greatest in his lane but I don't see why someone who places Cole in their top five is inferior lol I think it's great that people who are more unfamiliar with lyrical rap get introduced to the genre through a guy like Cole who introduces concepts of the genre in a pretty simple to digest formatДЄnd I guess to add on to that, I don't think Cole needs to make his lyrics more deep or delve into complex concepts. I mean music is at the end of the day subjective, like some rappers who I see people putting in their top 5 lists aren't really what I like to listen to.
