I never called him meh. I named 3 of his projects that I fuck with heavy af. I also named 3 that could have used a LOT more. Those were meh I fucks with his features also. More often then not, they are great verses

I mean digest as in he ain't been out long enough and his music hasn't set long enough for me to know if it's gonna stand the test of time. I remember being the biggest Juelz fan in the world. Yrs later I can barely spit the verses I thought was so good.

Again, I fucks with FHD. Front to back it slaps. Same for FNL. I'd put FNL against any album that came out post 2010. Def top 3 in the last 7 years. Maybe 4 lol.

I'm just saying, 1 or 2 great albums ain't enough to push the needle

Is cole better than Fab or Jada?

Lyrically, no

But I prefer him over them both

Fab need another Soul Tape, that’s his lane imo
 
So Cole got demoted in your book?

He's a fire rapper, but he hasn't mastered song making yet. Him not working with different producers is fucking up his catalog.

Kendrick is one of the few niggas from this era who makes great MUSIC. His shit will sound good 30 years from now. Cole's shit borderline sounds like mixtape songs. This nigga's the new age Nas.
 
Yeah...he ain't got enough and it ain't set long enough for me to honestly rank him higher than 40...maybe 50

And I'm a fan. His best projects however is Warm Up, FNL, and FHD. His debut was meh, BS was meh, and the last joint is great for a concept but overall it was meh
FNL
FHD

KOD

Move him to top 40

^^^This

I bought his KOD album and I liked it. But having grown up in the 80s, I can name 20+ rappers/MCs that had an album I liked that peaked before the 90s.

I understand that it's a new generation that J Cole appeals to, but it's difficult for me to compare the new generation to the old generation that I grew up on.

I haven't voted yet.
