Joe Budden puts Tyler, The Creator ahead of J. Cole sparks a fresh debate among fans.
- During a recent podcast, Joe Budden shared his thoughts on Tyler’s album ‘Chromakopia’ and re-evaluated its impact.
- He believes Tyler has the edge in creativity, video direction, and overall heart.
- J. Cole is now challenged to up his game in certain areas, according to Budden’s controversial remarks.
- Despite Budden’s high regard for Cole earlier this year, his opinion has shifted.
On his podcast, Joe Budden shook the hip-hop community by suggesting that Tyler, The Creator surpasses J. Cole in several categories. Discussing Tyler’s latest album ‘Chromakopia,’ Budden assessed Tyler’s creative prowess, particularly in video direction.
Budden pointed out Tyler’s influence in reshaping rap videos since the release of ‘Yonkers,’ highlighting how it marked a shift in the direction and style within the genre. According to Budden, Tyler’s creativity and willingness to speak his mind give him an edge over J. Cole.
Furthermore, Budden praised the accomplishments of Tyler’s former group, Odd Future, which launched influential artists like Frank Ocean and Earl Sweatshirt. He emphasized the crew’s impact on current hip-hop trends.
He also noted that while J. Cole agrees with Tyler on many points, Cole often holds back whereas Tyler is more vocal and daring. Budden believes these qualities make Tyler stand out.
Earlier this year, Budden viewed J. Cole as a dominant force, even placing him above his ‘Big Three’ peers before Tyler’s recent rise. However, the recent Kendrick Lamar-Drake beef and Cole’s response—or lack thereof—have shifted Budden’s perspective.
Budden referenced a podcast episode from February where he lauded Cole’s upcoming album ‘The Fall Off,’ implying hope that it might reconfirm Cole’s status. However, Budden now challenges Cole to reinvigorate his image and surpass Tyler.
Joe Budden has sparked a lively discussion, challenging J. Cole to step up creatively in light of Tyler, The Creator’s bold moves.
