says it all for me

Adiwana:

I totally disagree.in fact it's the other way round.Cole OS in fact easily understandable&has more mass appeal than Kendrick.There are mixed views from a lot of fans on TPAB Cos it was a complex album.From the first time till today,I still play FHD cos it's a straight album but TPAB took me more time to understand.Cole is more mainstream and less hardcore than lamar

PigMeat:

I see u bro.

Coyotejack:
Kendrick music is influenced by jazz , funk, hip-hop,pop etc and his aggression on the bars are lit ...... While joke 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......
yea true u "thats all folks"
Kendrick is just listen to the album once and repeat his hit tracks

stinggy:
it's a Coleworld for me

Kendrick is more of a commercial rapper.

Y'all dissing Cole need to read up his lyrics, no one comes close to this guy. Lines like he is conversing with you, so real a niqgar.

In songs that has featured both rappers, Cole has been better - T.K.O. by JT, I'm back, Black Friday.

If you're still doubting, try these tracks:
- Born Sinner, Get Free, Apparently, Cole Summer...

---

Colelovers let's keep reminding them that Cole's 2014 'Forest Hills Drive' Album went platinum without a single feature.... Only 4 other rappers achieved that.

donMIG:
Cole made more sense to me
Forest hill drive feb 28
Born sinner

omoISEYIN:
Kendrick is a genius.
He doesn't just rap, he does conscious hip hop.
Listen to his lyrical content and you will know he his way above board.
He is an activist, its solely not about the beats, billboards and platinums
He belongs to skool of tots of the likes of Pac, Nas, Common, Public Enemies, Tallib, L Boogie (Lauryn Hill) and so on.

PigMeat:



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

Slymonster:


January 28 you mean lol

IcemanP:
they are two rappers who gat respect for each other, Cole's rap is easy, he does more of advice on his rap dis days[love yours] Kendrick smashes anything dat comes his way, dat brother can spit to anytin, i like dem both, but i tink for now, Kendrick is on the top of his game

sirfee:

wine4dguy:

Dude don't play yaself. I know what I wrote

leahcimzil:

But i don't...i apologise

PigMeat:
I was listening to this debate and comments from nigerians in "hot fm abuja" when the issue of WHO IS THE LEADER OF NEW SCHOOL RAP was raised, I was amaized by some persons comments on the topic, like someone said j.cole is 10 steps ahead of lamar, which I think such comments was borne of sentiment from a j.cole's supporter.

I have decided to introduce this debate here on nairaland for lovers of new school to, without bias tell us who he or she feels is the leader of new school rap, and why he or she feels so. Feel free to choose others like drake, wale, pusha t, andre, immortal, 2chanz, french montana, big seun, meek mill, etc.

daclint:

Read that again bro , future jadakiss on your track , I aint talking about Future (1 bar )we all know he got a tired ass rhymes

dayowunmi:

Feature not future

whizcartel:
Yeah. I Get you ma nigga. But that was just his Last album (Kendrick) was truly complex, especially God's Gangster. But that's unlike Kendrick. I feel TPAB was an experimental album. What he did there was a fusion of soul, hip hop and whatever genre that nigga added. Its totally diffrent from section 80 or Good Kidd madd city. It just shows that the nigga is versatile. I didn't judge them from they style. because they kinda do the same Sh!t But have got different flows. I judged them on how much features they have done and how much they appeal to the mainstream audience, Not us. FHD not complex. But I smell complexity in FYEO.

TrapSoul:

I disagree with this list tho... How can Drake be on the same level with Cole and Kendrick? Big Sean is even better than Drake, and as for the trash rappers Macklemore shouldn't be On that list the dude is good abeg. Travis scott should be among those thrash rappers what's the difference between him and young thug
