I lean more towards Kendrick Lamar. Mostly I like him more lyrically than J. Cole.

I am a fan of both J. Cole and Kendrick. They are both great rappers but I would pick Cole over Kendrick anytime. The depth and poetic style in his lyrics appeal to me more.

I literally agree with PhantomP, but I do have to say that Kendrick is my favorite one between the two. I say that based on his visual interpretation of the songs (music videos, album covers, etc.) J.cole is an awesome artist.

I have to pick Kendrick Lamar on this one. That dude is great. Whenever releases music, it promises to be good. That guy is the real deal. j Cole is also undoubtedly good at what he does but I just like Kendrick more. I have been listening to his music for a long while and he does it for me.

I don't compare. I choose to enjoy both of their crafts. They are both top notch storytellers.

For me J.cole is the best. He has a wonderful voice and the lyrics from his songs are in different forms such as story- telling about real life situations

J Cole is probably the most talented rapper right now but; Kendrick is much more than a rapper; more like a poet or a revolutionist. After i listened to the blacker the berry i started seeing him as something more than just a rapper. So it's Kendrick for me.

Hmmm, I think both have different styles and also different rap delivery so at least I can't compare them. I enjoy both.

J cole is on the top currently. He has been hot for quite a while and I love his songs. However, I don't write Kendric off. I think he will be coming with a hit soon.

Pitting this two lyrical giants against each other is not too fair. The two of them are too good. But if I have to choose one, I would choose J Cole because he is more mainstream than Kendrick. Kendrick is a tad too hip-hop
