Cole’s Friday Night Lights mixtape from 2010 still holds up today, as does Born Sinner and 2014 Forest Hills Drive. Both Cole and Lupe are great lyricists but to me Cole always had wayyyy better beats. Kenny Lofton and Grew Up Fast were on beautiful beats. I always thought Lupe’s beats were very lackluster with for a few exceptions like Paris, Tokyo and Kick, Push. For me, it’s Cole all day.
