    Kendrick clearly the better artist but Cole more accessible/relatable.

    I like Cole more, but I can't deny that Kendrick is the better artist.

    Cole is all around the better artist. Relatability, production skill, storytelling, dedicated fanbase.....

    plus Cole has more quality music than kendrick by far

    GKMC>anything Coles made.
    FNL and TWU both better than section 80 imo.

    Section 80 is overrated, The Warm Up is underrated

    If I want some casual listening, i'll more than likely throw on Cole. Cole's catalog is pretty easy listening to me and has a lot more bangers than Kendrick IMO. But, GKMC>>>>J.Cole

    Accessability and relatability is a skill in itself though. Doesnt that contribute to Drakes success as well. That's part of the reason he's running the game.

    No way lol I love Coles earlier mixtapes, especially The Warm Up but the uniqueness of Section 80. & how well the album flows together as a whole completely puts it on another level. I said this earlier but it'd be hard for me to say either of those mixtapes have a song as good as Poe Man's Dream or Ronald Regan Era.

    I'd put 2Face and I Get Up up there with either song but to each his own.

    Kendrick has 3 classics. Cole struggles for a good album.

    Kendrick won't even perform songs from TPAB on his tour, that's how bad that s--- flopped. Nobody wants to hear him flowing off beat and eating up half of the words on stage. Quit acting like that s--- didnt flopped, dude was supposed to go platinum within a few weeks on his next s--- after the aclaim world gave him. Everything he does in last 2 years is uninteresting and average as f--- for his standards. I gave Cole s--- for it during CW:TSS and BS era, now Kendrick is in that boat too.

    Supposed to go platinum? Says who? Lol he randomly released the album with no radio single. As for him not performing the songs, that's simply not true. He performed These Walls on Ellen like a week ago. He did this whole street performance in LA on a moving truck the week TPAB dropped. As for why he's not performing them on tour, I don't know.

    GKMC over all Cole albums/mixtapes
    But I think I'd choose FNL & TWU over Sect. 80 and OD..
    Also FHD>TPAB
