J. Cole confirms joint album with Kendrick Lamar

real_hh_rep · May 2012

Fuck who's better. Instead of arguing you should be happy two dope MCs make a record together. Chemistry between rappers is sorely lacking these days. Those two talented guys can prove other way.

southernmade · May 2012

this should be dope....I'm coming around to Cole more and I fuck with Lamar....just need to make sure the production is on point....we all know the lyrics will be....

BlackGerald · May 2012

I'd actually prefer Cole ad Wale

rip.dilla · May 2012

It'll be cool if it happens

Sideline Story and Section.80 were both solid projects

R.D. · May 2012

lolololololololol @ Kendrick outperforming Cole

Cole is the only thing thats going make a album full of Kendrick bearable

I dont listen to shit with Kendrick by his lonesome

hopefully it comes out though so i can finally hear an impressive Kendrick verseand feel the hype for the 2nd best Black Hippy member

should be a good collabo, they will balance each other out imo. As superlyrical as some of you people might think Kendrick is over J Cole, J Cole is easilly the better artist and have more range beyond a underground sound. Ya'll acting like J Cole can't spit, like he wasn't getting off on The Come Up, The Warm Up and FNL. Sideline Story was just to make sure he didn't put up Joe Budden type sales, you can't hit the consumers over the head with nerd raps all the way on the album.

Section.80 is better than anything Cole has ever put out, so exactly how is Cole "easily" the better artist?

The Warm Up is right up there with Section 80 imo. The reason why J Cole is a better artist is because he can do the underground lyrical (as seen on his mixtapes) and he can do the commercial records. He is easily a better song writer than Kendrick imo, what has Kendrick done other than show he is a mixtape and underground rapper?

First of all, no @ bolded.

Second of all, what did J. Cole do to show that he wasn't just a mixtape and underground rapper prior to his major label debut? Kendrick is just now starting to make a commercial push so it's too early to say that.

I told you 2 years ago that Kendrick was nicer than Cole before anyone knew who he was. Now I doubt everyone in this thread is delusional. Kendrick is a better lyricist, technical rapper, has more different flows, better production, more creative, non-redundant topics (unlike Cole), better stage show (I've seen them both), and he got his buzz without a cosign. Cole is NOT a better songwriter than Kendrick.

You can put Kendrick Lamar EP OOORRR Overly Dedicated OOORRR Section.80 against ANY project that J. Cole released and they're all shitting on his shit.

Yo marin3 you know how you always loved to bring up the college demographic, touring, and artist development shit when talking about Cole? That's exactly what Lamar is on right now. I'm in college and Kendrick did a packed show at my school 3 days ago.. I saw a crowd full of attractive girls that were singing along with all his lyrics. Just WAIT.

Kendrick Lamar will be commercially successful without making wack songs like Work Out.

What did J Cole do to show he wasn't just a mixtape rapper, lets see. He put out a mixtape that manage to cross over into the mainstream with FNL, IN THE MORNING happened to turn into a hit record on the radio, he developed a fanbase beyond underground hiphop fans all with his FNL mixtape. I mean seriously, who the fuck is checking for Kendrick Lamar beyond back pack and underground fans, have you ever in your life heard a mainstream music fan checking for Kendrick Lamar?

I agree Kendrick is a better lyricist, but being a grear lyricist don't really mean shit when it comes to being a complete artist, word to Joe Budden, Ras Kas, Canibus, and all them other superlyrical rapping ass niggas. If you can't construct songs and make music outside your comfort zone then you're just another mixtape rapper who can't make records.

When Kendrick puts out his debut album and it puts up piss poor numbers you will get this in your thick skull. Bitches ain't checking for that nigga and the typical music lover ain't checking for none of that super rapping shit. Tell that nigga to stop rapping on those Enya beats with his old man voice.

Not really a fan of Cole but since it's a joint effort with Kendrick ill listen.

I have never heard In tHe Morning on the radio.
Youobviosuly don't listen to Kendrick Lamar
I know plenty of young money/drake and game fans who are checking for Kendrick.

Kendrick can create songs and has various different approaches. And if only backpackers are checking for him why was he on MTV, why is he doing songs with Mack Maine and Birdman.

I'm a big fan of both artists but I have yet to hear Cole make a street record like Michael Jordan, verses like "His Pain" with BJ tha Chicago Kid, flow like Kendrick did on "Blessed"

I didn't say women dictate music, but women are the taste makers of what's hot typically and it's the average none die hard hiphop fans who buy music. You don't sell gold or platinum off die hard hiphop fans alone.

Sales is a direct result of quality, but it's a indicator of your impact. If you don't think sales matter then how do you explain Pac, Jay, Big, Nas, Outkast legacy compared to niggas like Ras Kass, AZ,etc.

I have Section 80 and O.D. on my itunes, what i am saying is K Dot's music won't reach outside the niche audience of hiphop. Dude hasn't shown any indication that he is commercially viable at all.

usmarin3 · May 2012

* sales isn't a direct result of quality

R.D. · May 2012

People be hyping the most average of average Kendrick songs and verses and convince everybody those verses was written by God himself

and if his verse on "Blessed" was one of his best, J Cole is far better than him

J Cole might not have a street record but Kendrick dont have a

Lights Please
Lost Ones
Killers
Show Me Something
Losing My Balance

LOL 14 year old Becky from the burbs ain't checking for no Kendrick Lamar

LOL at not hearing IN THE MORNING on the radio, what fucking world were you living in.

I obviously do listen to K Dot, i was one of the first niggas on this site talking about K Dot, Wale, and J Cole. Try again!

The average ignorant YMCMB fans ain't checking no K Dot, you think just because he got on a collabo they'll run out and buy his album. Tyga got a top 10 Billboard single right now and the nigga can barely crack 200k in sales, what you think Kendrick gonna do with less popularity. lol

LOL at being on mtv meaning anything, Yo Gotti was all over MTV and the nigga sold less than 10k copies his first week.

LOL at Cole not making street records, so what THE COME UP, THE WARM UP, AND FNL were nothing but pop songs? lmfao J Cole's verse on LOOKING FOR TROUBLE alone generated more buzz than anything K Dot has done to date and that wasn't a pop verse.

Why would you give a fuck? When you listen to music do you wonder who else likes it? Who cares what other people like.Women listen to music with their vagina for the most part. They'll find a guy attractive or his voice attractive and like the music no matter how bad it is. They'll listen to simple melodies as long as it gets drummed into their skull a dozen times at the club. You really believe they are indicators of good music? Sales matter to the labels who have them signed and for the artist to leverage bigger show and feature money. Does not have shit to do with how good the music is. Why are you making an argument with invalid points? You seem to just be typing just to type bro.

You mad nigga!

The only people that says sales don't matter are people who don't sell. They're usually the first ones bitching about how the label didn't promote them too, but why does promotion matter if sales don't matter.

All the great rappers have had a female fanbase too, you can't just dismiss womens contribution. Pac had the bitches, so did Jay, so did Big,etc and it's not for none of those superficial reason's you name either.

TB.Boy · May 2012

Only on the IC people say things so wrong give it a bout a year and Kendrick will be next up kids mad talented and is young. Young with his shit together he is going to kill the game and no kendrick doesnt have to dumb down and hes not you forget cole can rap Dead president 2,Just Begun, rise and shine, the badness there going to make a great album/mixtape and the most of you will be made in to fools again for speaking on things you know nothing about. They had a song together awhile back called temptation it was actually really good considering the quality.
