King Los better than JID? Fans hail rapper in viral debate: 'There’s a difference between lyricist and artist'

Many King Los fans feel the subject shouldn't even be open for debate but JID fans aren't as easily convinced

Rappers King Los and JID were the two names trending on social media after fans wondered who is the better MC. The subject even drew the attention of Los himself who wrote, "Hahahahaha I’m the trending topic right now. Let that sink in..." Regardless of their comparative skills, the topic has been debatable enough that fan comments are still pouring in.

Many King Los fans feel the subject shouldn't even be open for debate. We'll list out their tweets first. "Lmao King Los would murder 90% of these industry rappers. Stop the disrespect," said a fan. One fan wrote, "Need to listen to some King Los then reconsider your position. You are headed for a hard L with no breaks on," in reply to a JID supporter.

"We put both individuals in a room A cappella or with a beat no time to prepare(writing) and have a freestyle battle King Los wins with ease! There’s a difference between lyricist and Artist," said a fan while another shared, "King Los is great at rapping freestyles. I think people don't talk about him much because his studio album wasn't on the level of his freestyles."

JID fans aren't as easily convinced as the aforementioned fans. "King Los amazing but let’s not act like JID a minor rapper," said a fan. On JID's Twitter, one fan wrote, "Bruh they really think King Los can rap with you? WTF wrong with these people smh."

Another fan said, "King Los Is A Demon, But Let Me Just Say This, JID Can Go Toe To Toe With An-E-Baah-DEE! PERIOT." "JID wins easily, King Los arguably a better writer and lyricist but he can’t transition that to making good music like JID does," added another fan.

If we're going by trending numbers, it looks like King Los has the majority votes on Twitter. There are a lot of factors that come into play when comparing who is a better rapper, and as seen by many of the above-such comments, King Los is favored as the better freestyler while JID creates harder music. We can also take a look at their discography and their respective accolades.
