[@sykrss9534]

In my opinion he will go down as the greatest rapper of all time, some people may say I'm stretching but that's just my belief.

[@deaireusholder4127]

Tragic Bronson he isn't better than Kendrick it's close asf but Kendrick gotta slight edge

[@jorgemadrid645]

DeAireus Holder kendrick is over rated dude

[@Luey-E]

DeAireus Holder Kendrick is better lyrically but I think j Cole got more soul and charisma. Cole songs are deeper cuz he uses music as an outlet vs Kendrick who is in love with the music itself. Kendrick uses it as an outlet too and lyrically, I think he's over Cole but I can prolly listen to Cole back to back music more than anyone

[@Luey-E]

Tragic Bronson he's very similar to Pac. They both one of the biggest emotional rappers of their time and have some of the realest music. I don't agree that popularity means you have good music but when you rap about real things that would usually make people uncomfortable and are able to put it in a way attracts a lot of attention and people truly feel your music, you are now a true artist. Kendrick, Joe Budden, Joey badass, Andre, Cozz, old lil Wayne, etc. fall in this category as well as underground rappers like Brother Ali, Immortal Technique (tho, I think he tries way too hard to be hard and seem heartless, he speaks a lot of truth and actually fights against all the wrong in the world), Locksmith, etc.

[@dengmandang]

DeAireus Holder Kendrick does have a slight edge. He's proven he has the ability to tell a great story too. Plus his many voices and greater word play L, among others.

There were good neighbors too that I’m sure were pissed about the whole situation because now they look like shit too.

Cole is so real about examining himself, our communities, and the world as a whole. He not only gives you his perspective but a relative perspective of how other people view the world. I’ve seen him live 3 times in my life and he is easily one of the greatest at crowd interaction and structuring his shows to make you listen to his words with a different feeling. He has this ability to make you feel what he’s saying and let you know he’s just like you. Legendary.
