Cole Is The ‘Only Competitive’ Rapper"},"content":{"rendered":"
Royce Da 5\u20199\u2033 has claimed that J. Cole is the \u201conly competitive\u201d rapp<\/a>er active today.<\/p>\n

Appearing on his old Slaughterhouse groupmate Joe Budden\u2019s podcast, Royce was asked about the state of the rap game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u201cRock City\u201d rapper answered: \u201cI haven\u2019t taken a real deep look out into the landscape but from where I\u2019m sitting it looks like J. Cole the only one being competitive. He\u2019s the only one who\u2019s rapping with the kind of conviction that says I still value the number one spot as a lyricist.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see a lot of the younger generations not really hanging their hat on just the lyrical part of creativity at all. They\u2019re finding different ways to impact and resonate with people which is fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when the elder statesmen like myself start learning,\u201d he continued. \u201cI wanna make myself understand why is this touching people like that. I can\u2019t even understand what they\u2019re saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely moving away from lyricism being the caveat, which I\u2019m cool with \u2019cause there\u2019s a lot more things I can do without being lyrical-lyrical.\u201d<\/p>\n

Royce Da 5\u20199\u2033\u2018s sentiment was recently echoed by Joe Budden himself who put J. Cole at number one over his \u201cBig Three\u201d peers Drake and Kendrick Lamar.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got Cole as my one,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m hoping that Kendrick\u2019s next album could try to fix that for me. Drake is doing his Chuck E. Cheese shit. Good for him. That\u2019s it now. Yeah, that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to Cole\u2019s upcoming album, he said: \u201cWhen I heard The Fall Off<\/em> and with him hinting at maybe retirement, I thought that would be the marriage between concept and title.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut after watching some of these vlog clips where he\u2019s just in the restaurant talking to the older lady that doesn\u2019t know who he is. Classic J. Cole. Perfect rollout shit again. This n-gga\u2019s the best at this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Royce Da 5\u20199\u2033 has previously given his \u201cBoblo Boat\u201d collaborator props and also put him at number one.<\/p>\n

\u201cReady to talk about EarthGang now? Matter of fact\u2026The WHOLE Dreamville \u2026They ready for the Zombie Apocalypse out this bitch,\u201d Royce wrote in 2022 following the release of the crew\u2019s D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cCole as an Executive separates him from that 3 headed monster convo y\u2019all been having for the last 10 yrs\u2026 Put some respek on my brother\u2019s name.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
