Kendrick Lamar be da king...
Both rappers are not in the same league..

J. Cole's bars are the bomb; his flows are sick 4 your eyes only blew me away it's beautiful now it comes to him easily. Kendrick Lamar is a rap genius his rap is just deep; he talks about politics, black oppression etc but still, Eminem is their boss both in new school and old school

Sleekydee:
i don't think this topic is suitable to ask Nigerians, in depth analysis won't be carries out, because most of us hv been bewitched by listening to wacky songs day in day out, I doubt many pple in naija will undastand wot J.Cole and Lamar brings to d rap world, to many they re just regular rappers..

back to the topic, they re both lit, but personally, am a Kendrickian.

You are on point bro. I think this guys are the saviours of rap. New school rappers with old school(iconic) flows. Most nigerians are used to the poossy, money, weed stuffs from lil wayne, rick ross et all.

men kendrick no doubt, dat guy bad hez lyrics are dope..

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 prefer J Cole though I listen to Kendrick more but I don't feel the originality in Kendrick's line.

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.

And Lupe Fiasco...

Kendrick Lamar is a great lyricist..

I love his "How to p!mp a butterfly " album... When you talk about Conscience hip-hip, neo movement, activism... I give it to K.Dot

omoISEYIN:

Lamar is NAS.... far from been J

I understand your point bro. Talking about the black and race stuff, the hustling etc.

I'm a big fan of both kendrick and Cole. Personally Cole works for me better but the truth be told... Lamar is the best lyricist in the world at the moment.

This comparison is disrespectful to Kendrick Lamar , Lamar ia a god . Cole is good but overrated.

Unending Debates. Almost like Messi and Ronaldo.. Except they are both Rap Geniuses and prodigies.
It only comes down to preferences.

paradigmshift:

Drake = rubbish

Lol, he is good in a way sha.

J Cole...any day any time....if you've listened to lost ones or adolescent... you won't call Lamar here....I love both of them tho...but anytime I hear Cole rap... I just feel like he's in my front talking to me

PigMeat:

Lol, he is good in a way sha.

too wack bro although he's successful. am not talking about success but the guy lyrics no dope at all. if you are addicted to Kendrick n Cole, all other rapper sound like noise.

I like them both, but J.cole's lyrics are much more relatable......so J.Cole does it for me

Kendrick Lamar, J Cole? how did we get here? from ice cube, raekwon, jay z, nas, dr dre, tupac, big, kurupt, snoop, rakim, krs one, warren g, ll cool j, eminem, game, big l, canibus, red man, jadakiss to j cole and k dot.

zoro

Not this debate again.. The way I see it, they are 2 sides of the same coin... You don't have to hate one to like the other.. As a hip hop fan, you can appreciate the different styles and knowledge they drop instead of pitting them against each other.. In this era of chewing gum, mumbling superficial rap, there is vacuum for positive , relatable music free of the misogyny and ignorance associated with rap music. I appreciate them both , I think they cover 2 different sides of the same spectrum.

J Cole obviously.....Kendrick Lamar is more old skool/raw

But I love both of their music

the fact that kendrick won 5 grammies in a nite( most grammies in a nite by a rapper) shows his the best...even obama picked him ahead of crappy drake

The question is not about who raps better Or who you prefer? .. The LEADER of this PRESENT CLASS, their HEADBOY is DRAKE. He has broken records set by ONLY Micheal Jackson & Elvis Presley. He has set his own records and has sold more ALBUMS and singles than any of them. Numbers don't lie

Drake abeg. His lines in f*#kin problem can never be toppled.
I know you love it when this beat is on
Make you think about all of the niggas you've been leading on
Make me think about all of the rappers I've been feeding on
Got a feeling that's the same dudes that we speakin' on, oh word?
Ain't heard my album? Who you sleepin' on?
You should print the lyrics out and have a fucking read-along
Ain't a fucking sing-along unless you brought the weed along
Then ju... (Okay, I got it)
Then just DROP DOWN AND GET YO' EAGLE ON

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...

then u should proly listen to k Dots early works, like
vanity Slaves
night of a living junkies
and determined

Wetin mods see today??

big Sean ft Kendrick Lamar, Jay electronical and the track is called control. go and download it. Kendrick called other rappers out and he said " I will make sure your core fans never heard of y'all nigga. he dissed big Sean the owner of the track and when big Sean got the verse sent to him by Kendrick ,he played it and he said I gat no choice to put it out lol.... many rappers complained that what he said was not good and it was an insult , snoop said that's hip hop, if they don't like what Kendrick said, they should use the microphone and not tweet lol...Kendrick is too good. compare his features with jcole. jcole is good and he is a very good friend with Kendrick. jcole produced some tracks for Kendrick. I play both artist all d time..but if it's not Kendrick Lamar,it can never be..that guy gat his own flavour. even Obama said Kendrick is the best and no wonder Kendrick was always performing in the white house.

Prefer Kendrick.. The guy sabe put passion in his lyrical flow..

And that's what rap should also be about.. Passion, poetic lyrical flow, and delivery..

Kendrick Biggest hypocrite of 2015

Once I finish this ,witnesses will convey jus what I mean

Those r OGs in the game bro, I'll pick an OG anytime any day esp Nas, BIG or X but these 2 dudes r on their way to being OGs couple of years to come. In this era of Lil yatchy and Young thug, they both are lyrically Nice. Cole world for me tho..
