Thanks bro , this mmm stuff just dey scatter my head

Lol, it was always going to crash eventually. Even all these referral/networking businesses around will also crash, the koko be say be on the look out for new and latest ones, chop your money and leave.

tchaik:


For this post, I owe you one bottle of your favourite drink. Lordy lord, who compares K.dot with J. cole?

"Brother Kendrick Lamar is not a rapper, he's a writer, he's an author!
And if you read between the lines, we'll learn how to love one another!"

I don't drink bro, retired quite early.... Jus sad that HIP HOP is dead and NAS buried it.
thanks bro

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

drake deserves to be there bro.... Listen to 30 for 30 freestyle. You will hear lyrical prowess. drake is just as good as J Cole, Kendrick or chance. it's just that he sounds too commercial. Besides. That list is trash.

Don't Bleep with the white boy Eminem...Why be a king when u can be a god?

Sonville:


I feel you my nigga... you understand Kendrick so well

Yeah nigga.... Not just Kendrick. Music in general... But I fell in love with hip hop first. You also understand music too ma nigga.

nope

Hard to call, no doubt Kendrick is tight but J. Cole does it for me.

He's more classical you just feel the vibe

#4YourEyezOnly!!!

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.

Dammit dude. U just spoke my mind. Like u know what it takes for rappers like dre, snoop dogg and Co to acknowledge him "king of new York" if u're looking for creativity in rap music, think of kendrick. He is d first rapper to rap on a 3/4 bar beat. He has rapped with more white artists than most black rappers coz even white folks relate to his music. His performance at d 57th grammies with imagine dragons was d first time i would see alot of white folks dancing to rap music. Need i say also the first rapper to rap successful on a traditional jazz music (this d*ck ain't free). Kendrick is out of these world. M not taking anything from j cole. He is a dope lyricist but Kendrick knows how to get to ur psyche and attract u better than j cole.

drake all the way

If not for label issue, lil wayne will still be on top of the food chain, but that's right now its kendrick for me

This is my list of rap legends.

1. Eminem
2. Tu-pac
3. Nas
4. Rakim
5. Jay Z.
6. Andre 3000
7. Notorious B.I.G
8. kanye west
9. Snoop Dogg
10.T.I

Eminem is the best but not the greatest. Despite his G.O.A.T track.

Moreover. hip hop is very controversial. What I like might not be what you like. Like Olamide said "Everybody na king for him lane"

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.

He also self produced
Love yours from Forest Hills Drive is motivating

Mine is J Cole...

Chai But Lamar self can spit some mad lines like that...

Anyhow sha there Daddy G.O is still Eminem both new and old school... When bomb no dey there head...

John902:
Do you ever listen to Eminem?

I Fvcks with Eminem anytime any day. He is the best, but not the greatest tho. I had an obsession with him in 2002. And I was just six years old(I'm a really young dude, pls don't judge me ; D) Now the guy just do poetry or spoken word if you will call it that. Have you heard campaign speech?

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.

Lovely convo.... here's my two cents
In as much as I love J.Cole, I still think Kendrick is better.... K.Dot words are deeper and harder to understand. What he does is more difficult - he has made two concept albums( Good kid,mad city and To love-vendor A Butterfly)..... he also has better production.
Yes, J.Cole is probably more relatable and produces his albums by himself but that to me is one of his weaknesses.... he needs to work with other producers to improve the quality of his sound - now some might argue to the contrary......
In summary,
In Hip Hop, what matters most is the lyrics and lyrically, Kendrick is better.

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.

I concur.....most Nigerians dnt even lyk Kendrick cos they fail to undastand wat he says.....luk at songs lyk Mortal man,even These walls wic has a two part meaning

ColeWorld.

Jcole is a better rapper

sleepyeyez:
.kendricks got that complex, fist-in-the-air/rebel flow and content. He's a better lyricist.
Cole is more relatable, also a good story teller, great flow, him being a producer is an advantage. He's gettin Boring tho. (If uv copped his last two albums "2014l and "4 ur eyez", ud get my drift)

drake is more of a pop artiste dan a rapper. Den with all the ghostwritting claims. He's a great music maker tho. N I luv listenin 2 him . If I see a drake album and that of kendrick, I'd reach for drake's frst without thinking.

wale is alright. Not a fan tho. Dats all I'll say.

pusha t has always been dope

Big sean got That lovely cool, laid back flow

But bros why u gotta mention 2chainz and french montana na? But y?

I stopped when you said "Forest Hills Drive" and "4 Your Eyez Only" were boring, seriously man??
Just take your time again and listen to both albums, I beg you. 4YEO will take roughly 45mins to listen from start to finish.
J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar are my favourite rappers. Boring shouldn't be used when referring to J. Cole's work.

Personally it's hard to separate both rappers:
Cole is easily relatable, he's the kind of guy who'll paint a picture with words and get all the details in a track. He's a genius.
Kendrick's flow is second to none. The sweet blend of twists and turns in his lyrics gets me everytime.

I have 3 J. Cole album and 3 of Kendrick's ... And choosing who's my favourite among them both is the greatest dilemma I've found myself in since I became an adult.
Just enjoy both and appreciate the way they've given hope to rap music.

The two are dope but Kendrick rules!

Kendrick is good, always killing me. the real deal... but men jcole is king everyday.. other rappers trail king cole.. the truth is Kendrick came a long way but bad news is he went d wrong way... King COLE

#teamjcole all day.....

omoISEYIN:

Lamar is NAS.... far from been J

Didn't even know how he came about the comparison though, lol.. Kendrick is everything Nas.


For me, Nas is my all time fave.. And ur first analysis on Kendrick, on point, apt.

paradigmshift:


u can check YouTube for confirmation... Obama said Kendrick is d oga. ....

What Obama said is his subjective perspective, Kendrick no doubt is good but Coley is awesome and amazing, and better.

dreezybines:
Mine is J Cole...

Chai But Lamar self can spit some mad lines like that...

Anyhow sha there Daddy G.O is still Eminem both new and old school... When bomb no dey there head...

why be a king
when you can be a God

Drizzy leader of the new school? the bitch ass is not even staying true to his hustle....He is better off singing...lmaoooo!

dharmiedrums:

MaddSkillz:
