“Do I think I’ll beat Kanye numbers wise? I have no clue, but I’m nervous. For me, though, I already won. I know the album, and I know that I’ve won.”
"I don’t know. I will say that there was a point where they [Kanye, Nas, Jay-Z] seemed far out of reach. Now everybody feels like competition to me.”
“I think me, Kendrick, and Drake need to stop acting like no one can do better than Jay, Ye, or Nas. We’ve got to step up to that plate as the new legends.”
it's nice to be confident but don't gas yourself Cole.

Drake?
Why you hating on aubgod?
he better than Cole. shit it's amusing as hell to even think about Cole in the same convo as Kendrick and Drake. Cole is more Wale level.
edit: i think Wale's a better rapper than him too.

I'll give Cole credit for not including Wayne in the legends discussion. Dunno how I feel about Kanye being compared to Nasir Jones though.

this is indeed dope as fuck
Kanye's a legend. He's in that category now. but it aint so much about comparing Kanye to Nas as it is comparing himself to Kanye w/ the new = old parallels.
Cole = Kanye (top rapper/producer)
Kendrick = Nas (top lyricist)
Drake = Hov (super popular, dumb down my lyrics to double my dollars)
and Cole is seriously lacking in his comparison.

To put it lightly. I laugh at Drake all the time but it's clear he'll be around for awhile, and is pretty much the only "new" guy in hip hop I can see consistently going platinum. Kendrick...remains to be seen. He has the talent and movement to stick around but I want to see how he follows up GKMC; unlike Drake or Cole's first albums, Kendrick pretty much blew everyone away with his debut. Will he go for a more conventional album next? It's hard to imagine he coming up with a more compelling concept than GKMC, which is the definition of the "you only get to make a debut album once" mantra.
Perhaps the Nas comparison is fitting. I'm not comparing GKMC to Illmatic, but both albums challenged the artist on what direction they'd go in next. Nas went more commercial with IWW, to initially mixed reactions.
Cole...doesn't strike me as special or potentially special though. Maybe he'll surprise me. FNL is amazing as are his other mixtapes.

I wonder how old the Jay Electronica verse on Mac Miller's album is. Same question about his verse on Yeezus; I bet that's the verse he was supposed to send for Cruel Summer.
That Yeezus tracklist is fake.

What was the final word on the Drake tracklist?
Real or fake?
Definitely seemed plausible to me.

I see your inner boxden shining through :jayhah:
While I'm also not sure where Kendrick will go next, it's worth noting that GKMC is not his debut album and was a pretty clear development of a lot of the stuff he was playing round with on Section.80. To me the main surprise was that they continued to explore that sound rather than the expected "Look out for Detox" style stuff he was dropping in between (which I'm also not made at).
