Inspectah Deck says that among some of the newer artists he listens to are J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar.
“I’m not really bumping nobody’s mixtape or nothing like that but I did listen to J. Cole’s new album,” Inspectah Deck said during a recent interview with VladTV. “I been listening to Kendrick Lamar’s new album.”
The Wu-Tang member was then asked to choose between J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar.
“I like them both,” Inspectah Deck explained. “I like Kendrick because Kendrick is keeping that spirit alive of trying to educate and teach people, man. I feel in the next couple of years, he’s gonna be one of the top dudes because just the attitude he got. [It’s] the same thing [with] J. Cole. I put him a little over Kendrick because he’s been doing it for a little longer. It’s soul music, man. I listen to their music and I feel myself. I listen to their lyrics and what they write and it reminds me of me, to just go deeper than the average emcee. Salute to the younger generation, man. I didn’t like y’all at first ‘cause I thought they were just about a bunch of stupid shit.”

Kendrick Lamar>>>J.Cole
Kendrick Lamar >>j.Cole
Well, he’s stupid.
How he gonna say J. Cole been doing it longer tho? Anyway J Cole is cool, but he dont have 3 undeniable classic albums.
Section 80 don’t count and TPAB is overrated. If your gonna count section 80 then I gotta count Fiday Night Lights… Even still I’d say they’re both at an even two…
The Warm Up>Kendrick Lamar EP
FNL>Overly Dedicated (Albeit slightly)
Cole World
How does Section 80 not count? What a stupid comment. TPAB is not overrated. Look at Kendrick’s lyrics then look at J Cole’s elementary ass lyrics. J Cole is for the average man who can’t think.
Change article title to “Irrelevant rapper from once great rap group that hasnt had a worthwhile album in about 10 yrs gives worthless opinion”
at least they want to hear his opinion… nobody knows who you are or gives a fuck about your commentary..
czarface is pretty good….wu might not have had a great album in years but some of their solo and joint efforts have been good..
Mmm I dunno.. Its up for debate,
I agree. I used to think K.Dot was better but But J. Coles body of work is much more impressive & the stories, the way he tells them are so vivid and detailed.
the stories; the way he tells them are so boring
J Cole better than K Dot aka Kendrick Lamar…… Negro please…….
hhdx loves inspectah deck sooooo much!!! only hip-hop site i know that has this many articles about dude……
Hmm, maybe because he recently dropped an album with Czarface, or maybe he’s a part of a legendary hip hop group. I don’t know, just throwing a few things out there.
ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER BUNCH OF POSTS WITH THE NAME “KENDICK LAMER” IN THE TITLE. SMH HHDX IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE.
I don’t see “Kendick Lamer” in the title.
YOU MUST BE BLIND THAN YOU DUMB NIGGA
Nah, my eyes are perfectly fine. You’re just being a hater.
Who would I choose between Vanilla Ice and Iggy? Hmm that’s a tough one. They both make great records, but Vanilla has been around a lot longer, so I gotta give him the edge.
man what the fuck
Kendrick Lamar is the best rapper alive right now nobody can deny it. J. Cole to me is boring….
J cole are good, but kendrick’s got more of that metaphor. both are fine
J. Cole would be okay-ish, if he didn’t have so goddamn emotionless voice. Hard to try to listen to him, Kendrick at least makes things sound interesting.
Agree lets see kendrick make a beat and cole has more bangers Forest hill drive was insane
Jay Elctronica >>Kendrick Lamar>>>>>>>>>>>>>J. Cole. True, Jay Elec still doesn’t have an official LP out there yet. But in my opinion he’s one of the dopest lyricists that started to get some attention and buzz around him @ the same time Cole & Kendrick did…
AAAWWWWW stupid comments system. Obviously I meant that Jay Electronica ranks way over Kendrick and J.Cole. Although Kendrick Lamar is pretty amazing in his own right…
i agree, i already thought that born sinner was da 2013 album of the year behind good kid maad city
Ey k.dizzo hz undeniably burnt Cole ,in creativity clearly shown in mkn GKMC a short film n innovation ,c’mon ppl
Ey k.dizzo hz undeniably burnt Cole ,in creativity clearly shown in mkn GKMC a short film ,c’mon ppl even lyrically K.DOT is superior
Maybe if Cole stopped rapping about everyone hating on him for going to college and how he has fucked up teeth that he won’t fix, then I’d actually take him seriously. Kendrick the King over Cole, no contest.
