If Cole doesn’t exist, who do you think is the greatest rapper of all time and who would be your favorite.
For me I think the goat would be nas, even though I haven’t heard all of his discography, but from what I heard he has it all. Longevity, lyricism, classics, great features, great diss track and even made a comeback with multiple releases.
For my favorite it just has to be Kanye, there’s a funny story to this one so I’ll tell it real quick. Basically I only actually started listening to music like 3 years ago, it was when I got my car and I started listening to music while driving which is my favorite time to listen to music. I started doing deep dives and watching music reviews channels on YouTube like the needle drop and NFR podcast, and any time Kanye was mentioned they were talking about him in a very positive way and saying he has the greatest discography, I didn’t even know what that meant at the time lol, but basically I was thinking to myself “ there’s no way this Kanye guy is as good as they say he is “ and that was when I decided to listen to all of his discography top to bottom. Obviously I started at the very beginning with the college dropout and one of my favorite moments in all of my music listening history is when I heard all falls down on the college dropout, basically there’s a lot of Kanye songs that I knew before and that I knew they were by Kanye. But all falls down was a song that I heard before and I knew was fire but didn’t know it was Kanye so when I heard it I was wowed. And so the same feeling happened to me a couple of times more with songs like spaceship, dark fantasy, bound 2, father stretch my hands, follow god and praise god. And so after I finished the discography I understand it now.
