There has been an ongoing debate within the hip-hop community for years now regarding who is more lyrical, J Cole or Kendrick Lamar. At this point no one can deny that J Cole has been consistent in separating himself from Kendrick and many other top-tier hip-hop artists. He is featured on so many recent hits by other acts that it is hard to keep up.

As if that was not enough, J Cole‘s own records are always on point (lyrics, flow, melody etc.). Click here or on the image above to watch his latest video, released approximately a week ago, for his song Middle Child.
