It means you acting like a hoe or prolly a hoe. Synonyms are "thirsty bítch" "pigeon". See urban dictionary for comprehensive translation.

Oh! that?

So cliche.

J. Cole’s third studio album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, sold 353,538 copies in its first week out. That’s about 47,000 units more than Kendrick Lamar’s first-week sales (324,000 units) of To Pim.p a Butterfly.

Cole any day for me. He's something else.
Sales is not exactly a yardstick to measure art (in this case music). Using ur argument, Drake is a beta rapper than Cole and Kendrick......:->

I don't listen to rap songs or secular songs anymore but anytime J Cole drops a single or an album, I will definitely find it, download it, listen to it and cherish it! that said, there are so many very very very good rappers out there, y'all should stop calling Kendrick Lamar the best rapper in the world based on some control verse he dropped and called every one out! there are just too many very very very good rappers out there; the crew in slaughterhouse, Hopsin, j Cole etc. jeez..

You guys are very sentimental. I'm not even a DRAKE fan but facts are facts. Do you know that Future / young thug are classified as rappers? Drake raps and he sings. You cannot in all honesty say he Isn't a rapper. He has broken and set records on billboards, Grammy's, spotify, iTunes, cutting Major deals left and right. You think that happens to any Tom dick and Harry? Drake is in a League on his own NONE of these guys can do the numbers he's doing NONE. when J Cole and Kendrick Lamar are going 1x platinum , Drake is already 6x Platinum. I watch Interviews, podcasts and periscopes and if JOE BUDDEN- who is feuding with Drake can confess on HOT97 to Ebro and later Chalamange Tha god, that Drake is the Biggest rapper in the Game to the acknowledgement of these HIP HOP HEADS then I don't think your opinion is OBJECTIVE enough. CHEERS

I'm not a fan on the new rappers but numbers don't always mean you are the best. Sometimes your lines might be too hood to be commercialised. Jay sold more albums than some old rappers but he wasn't actually the best even tho this is subjective.

Drake lines are as cheap as sluts found in slums.

This is a tough choice ma nigga.

Both are into conscious rap,

both are conservative,

Both uses their lyrics to address social issues (a lot), But J Cole does it more.

Both Have entered the mainstream industry.

Kendrick gets more features.(Because Cole will always air his views it doesn't matter what the songs about)

They both have lyrical prowess

Cole is like Nas, Kendrick is like Jay Z.
ETC.

So in my own opinion

Kendrick is the leader. Because Kendrick is still ready to conform(although not entirely), He will still say that thing that you want to hear and still take a jab at you. So anybody can really listen to Kendrick.

Its mostly hardcore hip hop heads (like me). That usually listen to Cole. Mainstream fans can't Just Fvcks with J Coles music.

So for that Kendrick Wins. For creating a style that appeal to both the mainstream and Hardcore rap fans.

I can go on and on about these two.

but y'all should listen to ab-soul though, That dude is underrated. Even Kendrick admitted he was a better rapper than him.

I didn't mean to quote you ma nigga. It was a mistake.





No hard feelings. U have done a good job bro. Nice write up.

Re: Kendrick Lamar Or J.cole?: Who Is The Leader Of New School Rap? by Coyotejack(m): 1:20pm On Dec 13, 2016
Kendrick music is influenced by jazz , funk, hip-hop,pop etc and his aggression on the bars are lit ...... While jcole is just a cool Joe that tells story so well that we can all relate to (wetdreams) ..........



But jcole is a rapper that is on repeat.......full album......

Kendrick is just listen to the album once and repeat his hit tracks

Nobody said drake is the best. The thread is NOT about who the best rapper is.. It is about who is the LEADER of their Pack. And Drake is. I'm tired. don't phucking Tag me. Good afternoon.

j.cole is talented no doubts, his word play is top notch, buh kendrick's lyrical content is way more to superior.... Its an healthy competition buh i think kendrick wins this......
ps.... this is the kind of comparison i want to see not some phyno and ycee sh*t

I don't think cole beats Kendrick when it comes to word play, Kendricks word play are so deep you gotta use genius. Com. Go listen to Kendrick U.O.E.N.O freestyle, his verse alone has got some serious word play I.e "Tell 'em I need my credit when it's due.
Tell 'em I need my lettuce when it's new.
Tell 'em I got a fetish for fine fabric Franklins and saying, "Fück you"
