I honestly don’t think J.Cooe stepping out of the beef was that bad. He came out with something sub-par, owned up to his mistakes, and let Drake and Kendrick duke out a battle that didn’t need him in it. Smart move imo.

[@chasebingaman]

No definitely not, he saw the writing on the wall that instead of being about the music, it got much deeper and left right then and there

[@Kappap32]

I kinda think people aren't harsh ENOUGH on him. He put himself in a situation that wasn't about him, and from there, sure, he probably made the best decision with tapping out. But to even release it in the first place is a huge L for him imo.

[@muhammadkhokhar4786]

@@Kappap32 yes the like that verse was more aimed at drake but there were subliminals towards cole so i think it's unfair to say that it wasn't about him when there's the argument to be made that he sparked it with the mention of "the big 3" in first person shooter or on heaven's EP when he says "they threw the bronze at me, behind drake and dot"

He can switch between poems like sing about me, and has a great feature run like with baby keem, schoolboy Q, and tde Andre 3000- best group of all time, first and only rap album to win album of the year, 4th or 5th most Grammys from a rapper, amazing feature run since interlude by lil Wayne, very experimental with his jazz album that he dropped Nas- best rap album of all time, top tier flow, came up with biggie and Tupac, been rapping for 30 years and he’s still get nominated for Grammys, kings desease and magic series are great, his first 6 albums are amazing to perfect MF DOOM- most experimental artist of all time, second best rap album of all time (madvillainy) still going until he passed, mm… food and madvillainy being the most experimental albums of that era and you don’t see many people rapping like him anymore

Kanye is slowly losing the number 1 spot as the greatest hip hop producer oat after the releases of Vultures 1 & 2. If Madlib drops Montana, Gunnlib, Black Thought x Madlib collab album and the Pusha T x Madlib collab album and they all deliver he will definitely take the number 1 spot as the greatest hip hop producer oat

College dropout, twisted fantasy and Yeezus are all perfect albums to me. I love new workout plan. Saying the second half of Fantasy drops off is insane bro, while technically true, it goes from a perfect ++ first half to a just perfect second half. Yeezus, is a tight conceptual project, absolutely trailblazing a new sound, sounding immaculate, and no fat to trim. Dude gold digger is an amazing song, I thought it aged amazing bro. Just a banger every time it comes on. It defined a pop era along with songs like stronger. Bro was running hip hop and pop at the same time don’t hate.

[@hoezayyg2066]

I think the perfect and 10/10 argument can be divided between classic and perfect A classic album can’t have a song or two that misses or doesn’t change well but it doesn’t change how amazing the album is and what it does with impact and etc. but when we talk 10/10 or perfect, when curry shoots 7/9 that’s not perfect when he shoots 9/9 that’s perfect

I think that future’s influence, consistency and cultural significance out weighs what cole has done. Future helped boost Atlanta into arguably the top 3 cities in the world for rap. He created his own sound and when everyone copied it, he kept evolving his sound which helped him become one of the most developed artists in the genre. And in terms of the sheer amount of good songs in a catalogue, you’d be hard pressed to find a rapper that would beat future.
