J. Cole is rapping better than everybody right now. I'm talking strictly about rapping.
Flow. Cadence. Breath control. Rhyme schemes. Storytelling. Wordplay. Beat selection. Versatility.
Nobody is putting all of it together at the level Cole is right now.
You can argue Kendrick is a better artist.
You can argue Drake makes bigger records.
But when it comes to pure rap performance, I don't think anyone is touching J. Cole at the moment.
The Fall Off only strengthened that belief.
Quantum physics could never show you the world I was in. When I was 10, back when 9 ounces had got you ten. & 9 times out of 10 niggas don't pay attention & when it's tension in the air, 9s come with extensions 🙂↔️
J. Cole: "I love both Drake and Kendrick Lamar"
Kendrick Lamar: "Fuck J. Cole"
Drake: "Fuck J. Cole"
