Better Career: Wale or Big Sean?

[CrimsonTider]

Haven’t checked but I’m sure his highest charting song is Bounce Back and that doesn’t have a feature. Plus Wale’s hits have been more due to the feature hook (Rihanna & Jeremih) more than anything

Like other have said as far as aging quality I probably favor Wale but careers on paper Its Sean and he has one less studio Album and thats with not knowing there contract or money flow situations from side deals

Sean
Finally Famous Plat,
Hall of Fame Gold,
Dark Skys 2x plat,
I Decided Plat

Wale
Ambition gold,
The gifted Gold


And its even worse when glanced at charted singles numbers

A lot these Sean albums are filled with super high profile features that push them compared to Wale tho.

That is one song out of how many singles?

As far as Wale, "Bad" was a hit before Rihanna was placed on the remix. The original song had a chorus from a singer that no one had really heard of before that song.

Big Sean easily

Just looking at his wiki Wale probably has more released singles with features then Big Sean

Gotta go with Sean even tho I prefer Wale

This Big Sean has way higher highs and way higher lows. Also Big Sean sells out arenas in Detroit. Wale can’t and has never done that in DC.

But like y’all said Wake discography is better.

Outside of bounce back how many real hit songs does Big Sean have solo? We know Wale biggest flaw is that he doesn’t have a single hit record that’s solo

but how many hit records does Sean have since 2016?

Yup. Wale’s problem is he could never get out his own way. While he burned bridges Sean built solid industry relationships. That goes along way when it comes to marketability. Wale is definitely the more talented of the two if you ask me

Wale is more of a metaphor rapper than a punchline rapper

 

[Paper Boi]

Sean got more hits and a better studio album catalog

 

[JustCKing]

Just looking at his wiki Wale probably has more released singles with features then Big Sean

Sean has like 17 singles that have at least one feature.

You sure he has more hits?

 

[Paper Boi]

You sure he has more hits?

yes. he got at least 5 singles that were bigger than any wale single at least...

Music wise. Wale. Everything else Sean. Sometimes being boring and likeable is the way to be. Wale is also farrrrr from being a punchline rapper. He’s witty

 

[Will Ross]

Wale has had the better career. Big Sean is just more liked by the fans. Wale actually had a very good career for not having a white fan base

Career? Probably Sean.

Discography? Wale, easy.
