Who's Making More Money: J. Cole or Young Thug?

[HearNoEvil]

Can't think of two artist whose approach to rap is more polarizing.

I'm leaning toward Thug. He's constantly featured, constantly charting, and always touring.

Coli A&R's, make a case for J. Cole's anti-social tendencies.

Cole it's not close

I was thinking Cole at first too, but Jeffrey's sheer output made me question that.

You letting that mall jewelry fool you?

Cole had albums going Platinum, tours extensively, has merchandise that sells, has his own imprint with indy artists, self-produces, has a decent publishing deal.

Probably because I like Young Thug's approach better. Social artists are usually more interesting.

However, the only real way to justify one person's method over the other is money, at least in business.

It's sad that the more isolated rapper is reaping the greater reward.

I believe you though. Unless someone can make a strong case for Thug, which won't be me.

Thug probably hasnt made $8.8 mill in his entire career

From his peers. Limited features.

The self-reliance we praise him for is just isolation from a negative perspective.
