As someone who is fan of both Cole and Kendrick I love how both of their music are somewhat of a contrast. Kendrick making turn up music meanwhile Cole making laid back music. Both of them are the pillars of this generation of rap.

Drake, Cole & Kendrick are equally great but just in different ways. Cole is the most relatable out of the three for me. He gives you flows and bars that make you think and then rethink some things. Drake's consistency is unequalled. He's having a once in a generation type run. And Kendrick's alien flow is so cosmic he's really in a class of his own.

For my taste in music J. Cole will forever be on top. Drake is commercial asf and that’s cool, but not me. Kendrick is a pillar to the rap industry but J. Cole was far more consistent. When Cole drops music it is music that it’s already considered classic. However, with these other artists we need more and more and more hits almost like a high. But I can listen to Coles new and old music and i will forever have a different frequency. He’s the best. Undisputed.

Drake can always drop music and people would like it but when you listen to the lyrics drake don't be saying a lot of stuff like cole or dot. But J cole has been relaxed back and he is an artist that has so much variety in his music like Forbidden Fruit and For Whom The Bell Toms. I agree that drake can release more than Jcole at times but when cole releases it's more special then when drake releases and got everyone hyped for the cole. Drake songs don't always play on repeat it's ite most of the times. but no disrespect of course all great in their own ways.

how hard is it to realize both dot and cole are two goats and their music cant be compared, just like pac and notorious were 2 diff beast living in the same era , u cant put down one and say other is better.

He is not saying he thinks they are better, he saying he sees the people trying to throw Bronze on him, that’s it, him saying they are superstars is not saying they are better, it’s just speaking facts and being real. They are superstars, he’s also called them both goats and legends. That is giving props to your peers who you respect, nothing more. Not even a minute later he says I’m the best breathing it just failed to hit you, you couldn’t tell because you fell for the bells and whistles. He don’t live the celebrity life style, which is why he says he piss in the celebrity tea. He also won’t be out here starting false beefs and selling bundles for streams and sells. He just gone rap and let that speak for him not doing all the extra shit. I see a lot of people showing their age or lack of comprehension in the comments and on Twitter, making up there own narratives about what he meant. That shit so wack what lame ass nobodies will do for attention.
