The man is just sooooo talented. Like goddamn! I was just listening to note to self and even that shit sounded good and he was just thanking people. It just sounded good. This man is talented. He's one of the top in the game right now. Not money wise even though he has more money than weak ass tyga who only has a 5 million net worth and Jcole has a 14 million net worth and hasn't even been famous as long. Jcole is a great lyricst. I don't think anyone can match his genuine that is his music. After him, it's Kendrick. Jay electronica definitely is like tied with the two of them. Yes he's in both spots. What's your opinions of Jcole? Good or bad, I wanna know your opinions.

he's the best rn imo. kendrick's good too but j cole's mixtapes like FNL can be a very good album. he should get even more money and recognition than he does right now. Born sinner is my favorite album and it deserved to go platinum. he is as talented as you say lol

decent. Far as mainstream goes i'm comfortable declaring him among top five in lyrical ability.

Also, keep in mind Net worth =/= how much they actually have. It's an estimate of how much they've accrued over their course of their known history. You also have to consider taxes, wealthy spouse/family member support, contract agreement, marketing, wasted expenses, mismanaged finances, Debt & legal expenses etc. When it's all said and done it's quite possible Tyga does have more walking around money... though he doesn't look all that intelligent too me so i could image he blows money on BS more so than J.Cole.


Edit: Also, shouldn't this be in the Music section?

I like Kendrick better but there's no reason to compare because I see them as pretty different from each other

Didn't think about it. Didn't even know there was a music section because I don't go to it or look for it , but it can be a general discussion too

Yeah he is pretty good. I think FHD was his best, very creative all around.

Favorite rapper behind Drake. He provides great substance, shit that I can relate to. Dude is too nice.

Dude is way overrated as a lyricist. Just because you like his content doesn't mean he is this dope ass lyricist. He and kendrick talk about similar topics, yet you can clearly see the lyrical talent in kendricks work.

If you look objectively, and disregard topic biases, drake is just as good if not better lyrically

Nawww, no way. Drake is easily underrated lyrically, but he ain't quite on par with Kendrick and Cole in that category.

Edit: Drake snapping on this new tape with Future though, my goodness. That 30 for 30 freestyle. **** it, he the GOAT again.

I think he and cole are of similar skill lyrically (you may or may not like what cole actually says better), but kendrick is on a different level.

As far as lyricism, id take Wayne (no ceilings) over most too including cole and drake

IMO, it goes Kendrick>Cole>Drake if we're talking strictly lyricism. I only prefer Cole and Drake because I can actually relate to their music, and their sound is more appealing to me as well.

Let's not even get into prime Wayne man... Dude was on a whole other level back then.

Track for track, album for album, mixtape for mixtape, J. Cole is more lyrical. Not even a debate.

Kendrick is easily better lyrically. But J Cole is really smooth with his delivery, he's up there with Kendrick overall.
