Is J. Cole the G.O.A.T. of Features? | Apple Music

@@johnluke9036 you may be delusional if you think he has been consistent for 20 years straight. Wayne’s infamous run was from ‘06-‘12 there was a huge break in him absolutely killing it until about 2020 (still was releasing music but not too many memorable songs/verses) and only within the last 2 years did he read start snapping like he used to

I like Kendrick the most but i think I agree. We shouldn’t penalize Cole because he’s a man of integrity and didn’t want to fight someone he was friends with. We didn’t really get to see him in real battle mode when he really has an issue with the person

[@aldialad]

when you put a diss out and the majority didn't feel it, it's easy to turn around and say it's my homie I didn't wanna do it. Bet it would have been different if the reaction was positive and the record was gunning for top 10 on the charts, guess it's time to make excuses and try to rewrite history

[@luisrossjr]

I'm glad Ebro outwardly told Nadeska she sounds defensive lol. Over the years it seems she's generally incapable of having a remotely contentious stance/thought without starting to either whine/be defensive in some way. Shoutout to her but I think it's a major point of opportunity that puts a ceiling on her, in terms of range/ability/flexibility.

[@thegarbageman3491]

Giving my opinion to the question in the title without watching first. When it comes to raps, bars, great rap verses, I would say there is an argument for Cole being one of the/a/THE GOAT on features. When it comes to really bringing a whole song together, turning a good song into a great song, in my opinion, nobody is better at that through features in hiphop than Nate Dogg.

[@thegarbageman3491]

The conversation happening around 8:45 about standards, give or take a couple minutes.. It won't stop. The cultural "standard" or "expectation" for the culture CANNOT exist when the culture does NOT control the distribution(Record Labels). It being a social media issue is minor. The abundance of people that can just upload music to KZbin, SoundCloud, Spotify, etc aren't the issue. Nor are they the artists you(hiphop media/journalists) report on. It's the artists who have major distribution.

[@Osama_bin_Gaming]

Haven’t tuned in to this in a long time. Good watch today. Salute to Nadeska. She is consistent as day and night. She is on a clear path to GOAT status. Reminds me of Angie Martinez position in this culture. I also wonder if artist/athletes etc used the GOAT phrase as Greatest of A Time not All Time. Hear me out. Great Artist/Athlete etc seemed to be in tune with the history of their field. They also seem to respect it, pay homage to it. So why use a phrase like GOAT to place themselves above it. First time I heard GOAT phrase was from LL Cool J. When he said it I was too hype off the rappers I listening to ( DMX & Ruff Ryderz crew, Jay Z & Roc a fella) but he made me go back, dig in the crates and realize LL did it all. He sold records, tours and merch, number 1 hits, won rap battles, crossed over, flow and lyrics at a high level, bodied features. His body of work and ability should be the standard of claiming any Goat status in Hip Hop. IMO.

[@kevingrayer2878]

This Top 5 guest verse list without having Jay-Z and Andre 3000 on there is insane. Hip hop has become only about quantity not quality.
