DJ Akademiks Gives His Interpretation

For Akademiks, Cole is trying to tell people that he doesn't think Drake or even Kendrick Lamar could out-rap him. The big three in hip-hop right now are Drake, Cole, and Kendrick. Most would say Kendrick is on top, then Cole, and then Drake. However, Cole is someone who has gone on a magnificent feature run as of late. If he were to translate that into a full album with The Fall Off, then you could argue his spot as the number-one rapper in the entire world.
