Lyricism us purely subjective tho. Cole has bars and is a better lyricist than Lupe.
This is pointless because the Lupe brigade is gonna just vote up Lupe and downplay Cole.
You can be a fan of both. It isn't unheard of. It's not an impossible task.
Lupe is a better lyricist. Period. You think Cole could make Joe Budden AND Mos Def cop deuces quicker den a bitch like Lupe did?
Smh. I don't think so.
Do better.
