J. Cole might be simultaneously one of the most
disrespected respected rappers of all-time. Folk
will really do the most to discredit and overlook.
I fucking love him and respect him as one of the best to do it but i do not think he breaks top 10 for me personally
@@swimsvg1855 how many people from 2010 to 2022 have been better than JCole??
@@TheRealSpaghettini kendrick 100%
@@TheRealSpaghettini kendrick Lamar, eminem, tech n9ne
@@errwhaaaaaa Not even gonna start with Em and Tech but hey, it's almost like in the 2010's, there aren't 10 rappers better then Cole that's crazy
Saying Drake hasn’t made a bad album and also saying Dark Lane Demo Tapes is ‘fire’ is way hotter of a take than he hasn’t made a good album since IYRTITL
The first take is facts. Drakes dropped a lot of good songs, but all the albums after 2015 have been just ok or trash🤷
@@sleep6837 the first take being the MGK one? Cause he’s definitely not one of the best rappers from the new gen🤣but I agree with the Drake I think he has 3 maybe 4 good albums
@@adamhancox2188 LMAOOO hell no the original take about Drake not making a good album since 2015🤣
@@sleep6837 oh haha was going to say🤣no I agree with you
Cmon more life and views were at least good but yeah the decline started at iyrtitl
my friends and i always thought of creating a podcast channel for HIP HOP facts and personal opinions. im glad to see we were not the only ones with this brilliant idea. you guys deserve my full respect
Kanye got the most timeless albums out of any artist 🙂
Facts
Not a hot take. Kanye a legend
We know this bro
His first 3 and MBDTF definitely. Everything else after is debatable for "timeless", but all were still great. Kendrick might catch em tho if Ye keeps fucking up with this Donda 2 stem player 🤣 biggest blue balls my ears have had yet
I wouldnt say the most but hus discography is solid
J Cole's biggest compliment is being compared to kendrick. I don't even understand why people would encourage such a conversation.
He's great, but definitely on the level of Kendrick
Because are few rapper that are popular, and Cole its the only that early 2010s was the second new school rapper most popular after Kendrick that its the reason. Of course, is not better than Kdot, but still dope.
Cole is great! Kendrick has more reasons to be respected including depth of lyrics but Cole is very very good. Better than most
Cole biggest compliment is not being compared to k dot 😂😂 I get it you hate Cole so does 20 million people but bro stop it he is a legend
j cole is good but hes not on the same level as k dot fr
its amazing how far you both have come, I am proud of yall
I would say that there are as many, if not more classics in modern Hip Hop compared to the late 90s to early 2000s era of Hip Hop due to the sheer number of releases happening nowadays. The late 90s had a better batting average because there were less official releases from rappers, but the 2020s era gets too much disrespect. I will say that the mainstream of the late 90s was much better than today's mainstream, but the underground of the 2020s can go toe to toe with 90s underground Hip Hop
The last sentence it’s the true point. The new mainstreet rap music is not better than 90s and 2000s, but the underground in other hand is better than 90s and 2000s.
I could agree with this one
I think you mean 2010s right? no way there are more classics in 2 years than 2 decades lol
did you guys peep that polo g’s linking up with southside for all of his next album? the snippets are pretty crazy so far, this could be his opportunity to bounce back from hall of fame and establish himself as one of the leaders of this generation.
and W video as always, a free smoke on section 80 vs damn would also make for a fire video :)
Polo g is so bad
@@julianmorrow5640 he’s not a bad rapper his production is just dogshit. southside will change that hopefully
Polo g been linking with south side
The internet would have you thinking that J. Cole is one of the worst rappers to ever touch a mic😭😂
Y’all are really sleeping on Abstract hip hop. Armand Hammer and Billy Woods are gonna go down as legends 🔥🔥
Yeah their underrated
Be honest I think they need to delve deeper into underground rap I mean they like Griselda but their totally missing a whole side of music that is happening in abstract and in that area of rap
Skyzoo
Cool series! Hope y’all keep doing this
been here since ur 5-10k subs, hip hop getting stronger this year.
if you saying having a good album means having good engineer and production then u have it wrong quality album means good song arrangement good writing good execution a storyline that makes sense . and drake hasnt had that since if you reading this
THANK YOU. When i heard that i had the biggest face of confusion ever. Justin Bieber has access to the greatest producers and mixing engineers too but that doesn't make him fire. Its such a ridiculous defense of drakes music i just dont understand it.
Was gonna say the same their points of defending drake boiled down to good quality in terms of simply how the album was made not what is being done or said on the actual album lol
Yeah thought the same. Spending alot of money on album doesn’t mean it’s good. If you like drake cool but the cop outs are lazy.
I agree, a little bit. I think Views was Drake's best album (either that or IFYRTYTL) and Views definitely was very cohesive. Once again it's just my opinion, but if you listen to the album front to back it's so seamless in my opinion. Especially with the whole "seasons changing" being one of his inspirations.
Views is great. Wft are u on about?
i read a lot of the community post responses, this is gonna be a good video
I haven't watched the video yet but i know it's going to be pure heat 🔥🔥🔥 You guys always deliver
especially this format
NFR NEVER misses on videos and content ideas
Love this type of video!
Trippie Redd is so underrated. His lyrics are mid-good but his vocals are fantastic and his beats are Amazing.
My favorite artist
Fax bro one of my favorite artist over these past years, I can’t wait until ALLTY5.
I like him but it’s the voice that I thought was the worse
He doesn’t make the beats. Credit the producers instead
@@ordinaryrapfan definitely up there for me
my hot take is Freddie Gibbs´s Piñata is one of the best rap albums of the last ten years and is slept on to this day
It's arguably the best gangsta rap album of all time, MadGibbs were incredible.
They sleep too much on Madlib.
@@ptyten9718 lol not even close. Ready to Die is the best gangster album
We need more videos like this !!!
Fire viidd boiisss. big smoking from san diego CA big love ☝🏼
as for the album cover thing they definitely haven't gotten worse, donda is ye being ye and clb is drake being corny but otherwise u have:
God don't make mistakes
TT4
Melt my eyez
Simbi
DRDD
I never liked you
I'm not a fan of DS4Ever but the album cover is amazing
Kendrick just announced his and it's fire
and more
Honestly I’m not really a fan of most of these covers, even though the albums are great.
I’m so glad y’all know you’re shit. I love this channel cause you guys love real rap music. Much respect to y’all
I’m loving this channel tho, keep it up
Just started my lunch break, you boys are always right on time 🙏🏻
bro same here haha
bro same here
bro same here
bro same here
Bro same here
I can’t get enough of this channel. By far my favorite on CZcams. Keep going boys ✊
I will say one thing though...When Wayne was on his prime feature run no one got tired of his verses or felt it was overused..goat shit
Loved this do more
People love to overlook the 3 album run Cole gave us with born sinner, 2014, and 4yeo 🔥 he literally went 3/3 then gave us KOD right after. Idk how he gets put anywhere other than top 3 of the decade 🤷🏻♂️
What’s your fav song from Mr.morale? My favs are Auntie diaries and Savior
I love you Ant for saying keem is the better new generation rapper over Lil baby and Polo G. Such a W people be buying into the lil baby hype too much
Polo G is releasing a single for his new southside collab project in May. Can we get an album review for it, cos a whole album of quality beats for Polo might be amazing
The j cole slander will not be tolerated the man literally a top 3-5 rapper of the decade and putting on his own crew with Dreamville musician and producer
there are so many rappers that can actually spit in todays era of music (refering to the ability) but their subject matter overshadows it too often.
Anyone else think J Cole’s verse on A Star is born is underrated and amazing
"'Drake hasn't made a good album since If You're Reading This It's Too Late'" It is a fact
thats cap views is good
Views More Life and DLDT are dope Only saying that because he was trying different music after if you're reading this y'all just want him to make the same ass music
@@EazyRocko he DOES keep making the same ass music
@@swimsvg1855 so views & More Life is the same as if you're reading this and nothing was the same really
@@EazyRocko everything after if you're reading this sounds more or less the same
idk if hyperpop will be the next RAP mainstream, tho I see some artists already leaning towards it, but it will definitely be the next big mainstream in general. already starting
y'all gotta dive more into hyperpop!
I like the versatility of the label but I wish they would take the time to distinguish rap leaning Hyperpop and more og Pop leaning Hyperpop even though I like both it feels weird to bring up hyperpop and not talk about or mention the other side of the coin as if that's all the genre is
@@MichaelTurner856 hyperpop takes from numerous genres. just like rap is. lot of modern rap hits are literally just pop songs. it's hard to distinguish between anything anymore. good music is just good music
Free Smoke needs to come back I miss it😭
my hot take : "or noir" by kaaris is the best trap album ever but its french so you guys dont know it even if its top 3 frenchs albums all time
W reaction commentary
W channel, W podcast
Damn might be a little better than Good Kid madd city. It incorporates a lot of the same cohesive storytelling throughout the album, it’s just in a more subtle way. The fact that every song title is the theme of the song and the way the themes tell a story starting from blood to reaching crescendo at duckworth. Also some of the best production in his entire catalogue, with songs like DNA, FEAR, LUST
Lets go boys
I agree with the Drake take. Drake was my favourite rapper ever since Best I Ever Had but after NWTS and IYRTITL all his albums have been unenjoyable
Gonna give the hot take again but NFR never misses with a video
Not a hot take… all facts
“Knocks you off your socks” lol
NEED ANOTHER FANTASY DRAFTT
You guys should review the Free 6lack’s Album :)
It’s kinda old but I dig your takes, curious on your opinions.
The A Side of Scorpion is a classic. That's my hot take.
New Kendrick album cover🔥🔥🔥 Are you going to be reacting to it?
Listen to Knucks - Alpha House. One of the best projects of the year 🤞🏼
all of the artist you mentioned for hyperpop aren't hyperpop.. YEAT???? HOW LOL
My hot take is that lil skies is one of the best in the game and life of a dark rose is a future classic which competed with a stacked 2018 year
The Heart Part 5 is better than every new generation rappers career
Extreme W take by NFR on the second take.
Jpegmafia dropped the best album of the year last year and is a top 2 rapper of all time (especially when you look at his devon hendryx stuff he dropped back in the day)
bro chill i love jpeg but his not top 2 all time 😂
Once Ed Sheeran featured Lil Baby, I knew it was an overused feature.
1: "MGK is over-hated"
This one is an L.
2: "J. Cole isn't Top 10 of the decade"
Also an L.
3: "Trap music is almost dead"
I may get this one.
4: "Lil Wayne and 21 Savage have been on better feature runs that Lil Baby over the past year"
Yes for Lil Wayne, no for 21 Savage.
5: "Album covers are getting worse with time"
Agreed.
6: "Polo G is the best new generation rapper of all time and dropped 3 future classics"
I'm all for Polo G praise, but he simply is not the best new generation rapper and 3 future classics is pushing it.
7: "Drake hasn't made a good album since If You're Reading This It's Too Late"
Views and CLB are ass, but More Life and DLDT are great. I do agree that he's been inconsistent since IYRTITL, though.
I personally think Views is amazing
viewss is a classic lol just had to be there what a time it was
More life is boring asf. Views decent tho
Views and More Life underrated as fuck
@@gc0837Disagree heavily. I'd say that More Life is underrated, and Views is ass.
Hot take: 21savage is the best and most reliable artist for a feature. I haven’t heard a song from him that’s a feature that wasn’t good.
Honestly I think Cole not being top 10 is a valid take. Personally I’d have him in the top ten but I can definetly see where they’re coming from. He raps good, but he’s not like on a Kendrick level or anything. Plus his style isn’t really anything new or innovative, which is fine but I think that kinda puts him below other rappers or artists from the decade
What 10 rappers are better then Cole this decade
@@Will-ko5qb Bro there’s not even 3 rappers from this generation better than Cole ppl hate on him for no reason.
Personally I would probably have him too 10 but I don’t have him top 3. I have K Dot, Future, Drake. If Future or Drake drop another mid album I would say Cole would be over them but based on creativity and album quality what Drake and Future did early 2010s was crazy. Also I might put Travis right around the same level as Cole because he’s more creative but Cole has been at it longer and he is the better rapper by far. Also I feel like some other rappers might get overlook in this conversation like Rocky, Chief Keef, Joey Badass, or Tyler. I personally would probably say pretty much all those guys have an album better than Cole’s best album but one could argue Cole’s consistency and features are what put him ahead which is a valid argument but we’re not arguing Gunna as top 10 based on features. Not trying to hate on Cole I’m a fan but I just think that if we look back 10 years from now albums like NWTS, Monster, TPAB, Finally Rich, or Flower Boy will be more memorable and have influenced the culture than anything Cole has done. Also these albums are all just amazing albums and as good of an artist as Cole is I would say he only has 3 really good albums unless we start talking his mixtapes
@Will Kendrick, Tyler, Danny brown, future, Kanye, jpegmafia, Mac miller, drake, young thug
@Will + Travis + Denzel curry
That taking baby keem over lil baby take was steaming hot but I agree with it
hyperpop is definitely not a subgenre of hip hop. its pop music not rap.
they put yeat under hyperpop lmfao
Rappers like Yeat, Ken Carson, SSGKobe are not really hyper-pop, they are hyper-trap if anything; actual hyper-pop artists include artists like glaive, 100 gecs, ericdoa, etc.
Can’t forget midwxst
Either way i feel like they actually are gonna be the next wave, all of them hyper-trap and hyper-pop.
@@abreckless751 crazy how she is on Kendricks Album!!!!!
@@dez-m uhm…. she?
I don’t see how people can hate on J Cole… he’s immaculate
I love j cole, he is fantastic, but i really dont think he's in my personal top 10
He's an inspirational quote rapper with mediocre production all throughout his discography. He's not very good.
He has insane potential but can't never carry out a good thought or message throughout a full project. His music is really nothing special. Once you dive into rap and hip hop more, you see how cole is really average.
@@ptyten9718 KOD is probably the only album I can tolerate by him.
@@cyb3rism636 if he was really average then how the fuck did he manage to be at the top of the game for 10 years? Eminem said he was one of the best new gen rapper, then you get to include Cordae obviously biting his shit, and also him getting referenced by other rappers out there in songs. Pretty sure you can't see a rappers impact outside from production, lyrics, and bars
my hot take: denzel curry is the greatest rapper alive. He can be introspective, has great songwriting, clear and coherent albums (without making any bad ones), and can bring so much energy to his songs, and has so much variety. Only thing he could arguably be missing is his influence on other artists.
Relax
that's not even an opinion, it's a fact
He's top 3 rappers of the 2010's forsure
@@Lankzino w
i love curry but u can’t put him above kendrick
About the drake thing at the end there, sure theyre not bad albums but you cant tell me with a straight face that they are good albums when theres a total of 3-5 good songs on each album
Hyper-Pop is the next SoundCloud era
MY HOT TAKE IS LIL WAYNE IS THE MOST TALENTED RAPPER TO WALK THE EARTH AND NICKI MINAJ IS TOO SLEPT ON WHEN IT COMES TO THE POTENTIAL THAT IS LITERALLY IN YOUR FACE THE MONSTER VERSE ALL THE FETURES WHICH GO ON TO BE HITS THE VERSITILITY FROM DOING A SONG WITH EMINEM TO DOING ONE WITH TREY SONGZ SHE FIT IN EVERY WHERE
that wayne take is straight facts
Alex we got beef for that cole comment
On God Bro Tweaking😂
the guy who said the drake take is right lol, even drakes best albums are like a 8/10 at best, and people act like hes some god
MGK is so crazy slept on it's not even funny. He never stopped rapping, even after he switched to pop punk, which by the way, was way before the Eminem diss.
We can't sleep cause MGKs vocals are that grating. To me anyway.
Of the decade, yes he's top 5. But KDOT on top by a mile.
man said yeat & ken are hyper pop😭
Southern rap is the most underrated. It is an unpopular opinion to have any southern rapper as the goat that isnt named Andre 3k or Wayne
I have an actual hot take… Certified Lover Boy’s album cover is really good.
I hated the album btw.
L take, the album cover is meant to give you a visual aid, something to almost relate to the music, and the clb cover doesn’t do that at all. you could literally chose a random picture from online and it would have the same effect
@@mtv_levus you’re overthinking it so much. I like what I like, I happen to like the cover. It ain’t that deep.
Here’s mine: the roots are the greatest hip hop group of all time, even better than wu tang. They have one of the greatest discographies of any rapper or group ever, with classics, one of the greatest rap albums ever with things fall apart, and no bad albums, which is rare from a rapper or group with over 9 albums. Black thought is arguably the most talented rapper of all time, with the greatest bars, flows, etc ever. They made 2 amazing boom bap albums, and when that wave started to die out, they changed their sound, and transitioned to more jazz rap style, and were even better, while all the big boom bap rappers of the 90s were making bad albums. Black thought still has it, and still makes amazing music, and has amazing features. Wu tang are obviously amazing, but they only have a few great albums, and most of their best stuff comes from the members’ solo work.
Hot take: Rodeo top 10 or top 5 rap album of the decade
Hyper pop isn’t really yeat Ken Larson or any of those types of artists you’d look at people like ericdoa, glaive, angelus etc
Honestly i think most underground production is better and more creative than mainstream rappers
This one
Yeat, Ken Carson and SSG Kobe are not hyperpop 💀 hyperpop is more ericdoa Glaive and midwxst
Yo they were right about Yeat 😮
Meek Mill is the most motivational rapper of all time
Trap music not going anywhere but I am surprised that future lasted this long tho.
j cole is top 5 of the last decade:
-friday night lights
- 2014 FHD
- 4YEO
- the off- season
- ROTD 3
not to mention his crazy feature run from 2017 till now. literally bodies any track. he can rap on almost any beat and has proven to outrap the best of the best (jid, benny the butcher, etc)
And none of these are 10/10
And agreed with the guy who said drake is flopping since iyrtitl
My hot take is that clb is a good album and will be like views.
Baby Keem over Lil Baby, yes! So true imo
2:31 JUST WANNA ROCK BY UZI
I didn’t realize you guys were such Drake Stan’s haha
I just can't fathom the hate and disrespect J. Cole gets all the time. There are literally no reasons for it. All dude is rapping about in his projects revolves around the struggle of the black people and his projects always remained true to real hip hop elements. He is a real one. Imo, J. Cole is just as good as Kendrick as an emcee. Whether we're talking skillset, bars, rhymes, flows, diversity, and storytelling, they're just as good. I do understand that J. Cole's writing is simpler, but that doesn't make it any less good than Kendrick's imo. What gives Kendrick a slightly upper hand imo is his discography. Gkmc and Tpab may easily be the best two hip hop albums in the past 10 years. J. Cole has A LOT of great projects but imo he still needs to drop atleast one album that can match k dot's gkmc and tpab. But overall, I place them at the same level at emceeing. And let's not forget how J. Cole has balanced the competition between him and K dot in two ways. First being an executive and for what he did with Dreamville and how he brought some names to the game like Jid Bas Cozz Earthgang and Ari. Second his producing skills. Behind them is Drake as both an emcee and an artist with well crafted, conceptual, and meaningful projects. Drake has the upper hand if we're talking hits, numbers, popularity, and commercial success. A simple disclaimer: If Dot and Cole decided to go towards the hit making route they would've gotten Drake's numbers but they just stayed true to themselves. So to sum this up
As an emcee:
1- Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole tied (K dot has a slightly upper hand if you consider complexity an extra point)
3- Drake
As an artist:
1- Kendrick (best discography among the three)
2- J. Cole
3- Drake
Hits, popularity, numbers and commercial success:
1- Drake
2- Kendrick Lamar
3- J. Cole
Personal preference:
1- J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar tied
3- Drake
Final note to all those hating cornballs, stop hating on artists for clout and followers, whether it's Kendrick Cole Drake or any other artist. Also try to compare less and enjoy more because comparison is the thief of joy.
Mf wrote a whole ass essay crying about j cole
Agree 💯, I feel people really don’t truly appreciate these 3
Cole got boring for me when I realized that the issues he talks about are much more nuanced than what he's able to explore. Just mentioning important topics does not make you deep or smart. He's a surface level conscious rapper with bad/mediocre all throughout his discog and a disappointing incapacity to execute good concept albums. He's a talented emcee, but he falls short as a complete artist.
@PTYTen it's how you choose to describe him. Even Cole himself said multiple times he wouldn't call himself "smart" yet people like to believe he thinks he's that guy. To me he's just thoughtful and authentic, just like Kendrick. They stayed true to themselves and never sacrificed their artistic integrity to make hit records. That's how I choose to describe them, not just "conscious" and "smart". Also 4yeo and kod are great concept albums, I would argue they're his best albums to date, wym he's weak with concept albums.
Letssss goooooooo
It’s funny how everyone rates Kendrick as the modern goat, but the closest thing to him in jcole is always disrespected
Although critics aren’t everything, 2014 FHD isn’t critically acclaimed. Has a 67 on Metacritic which is a D. I don’t think it’s can be considered a classic given critical acclaim is often an important category, but it’s definitely a cult classic and I love the record.
2014 FHD is not a cult classic lmao. I don’t like it that much but the reception of actual people matters way more than that of critics.
@@loverboyclement6767 not when deciding a classic in the landscape of music though. I feel your point as far as everyday society, but it won’t go down in magazines, critic picks and lists talking about the greatest albums of all time.
@@AdamAdam-md4mi I guess what I’m saying is that with the internet now that stuff matters less in the music landscape than the opinion of the people. Plus, critic consensus opinions change retrospectively over time.
@@loverboyclement6767 great points man. Love having a civil conversation about hip hop. Much love man.
@@AdamAdam-md4mi Aw thanks man! Me too.
Keem over Baby is CRAZZZZZYYYY
There are so many artists that have more range than drake for example gambino
Trap not dying anytime soon.
Take: Futures music has had a negative impact on the youth who listen to his music, many end up addicted to drugs at a young age as they listen to their favorite artist praise this shit all the time.
If you do drugs because future does that’s natural selection
@@julianmorrow5640 nah that’s just the influence it has on younger people
If listening to future makes you want to try drugs you’ve got bigger problems.
The guilt is on alot/most rappers not just future.
Future fan & the worst thing future has ever influenced me to do is playing girls lol
Lil Wayne is on two song called forever
The first being with drake Eminem and Kanye
The second being with lil baby
Due to the fact that the song with lil baby is better
Lil baby is better than drake Eminem and Kanye combined
Keep in mind Lil Wayne carried forever with drake Eminem and Kanye
While Lil Baby carried his song with lil Wayne
I’m 100% right about this
The reason this won’t be featured in a video is because it’s not debatable
The reason this won't be featured in the video is because it is completely dumb logic
@@hks2378 knew this would ruffle someone’s feathers
so ur saying lil baby is better than lil wayne?
Hot Take: Wayne at his peak (06-08) will kill ANY rapper you put in front of him
Carti has legit goat potential if his next projects are as good as the previous
Carti is only liked by a really insular community who, no offense, dickride him really hard
Oh hell nah
I say all it takes is Two more concept albums as good as any of his latest projects
@@dystopianinc. why would PLAYBOI Carti make a concept album?
@@kodyokeefe3212 have you listened to his albums?
