Again the c00ns putting two successful black men against ea other.. only ones HIPHOP we do this fukkery.. since when do u compare ART

ok so jean Michel basquiat better then Andy Warhol?

I HATE when people put artist against ea other.. career ? They’re both multi millionaires respected by their peers for the most part.. I’ve purchased both their albums in real life .. and Sean has a classic tape with DETROIT “the first one” .. you guys just bob your head instead of listening to what their saying.. their both kings in their own right

You don’t have to be this dumb

I prefer wale and think he is a way better rapper but Sean has more commercial success .

Wale had a few good years commercially tho, those first few years with Mmg

This is it

Musicians of every genre have had comparisons to other artists. it just the way of the music industry.

1 had kanye, naya rivera & arianda grande to piggy back off of.

The other had being the only truly successful rapper from DC, ross & meek.

All that other shyt you talking is just your opinion

Everybody cant be drake & have legions of dikk suckers.

They both have had quintessential mainstream success & thats all that matters.

Artist are compared to their contemporaries all the time .

You really gonna act like Haring wasn’t compared to Basquiat?

Sean got more hits and a better studio album catalog

Hits...Probably, Better albums hell no.

 

[JayStarwind]

Sean also had benefits tremendously from public, celebrity relationships.

How visible has Sean been recently because of music?

Sean most definitely has more connections and likeability. That's obvious.

He's been about as visible as Wale when it comes to music. His relationship with Jhene has also helped a ton imo. It reminds me of when Joe said that Wale may need a woman on his side; majority of his class has been linked to one notable woman or they're married.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

The answer can’t be Wale his fall off might be top 5 all time

 

[Paper Boi]

Hits...Probably, Better albums hell no.

Album About Nothing and Shine the only Wale studio albums that i like as full projects.

for Sean i got DSP, I Decided and now Detroit 2 on the great+ level.

they both got albums that i would consider duds-average too.

they both had some classic mixtapes, although there i'd give the edge to Wale on the mixtape front.

Wale also consistently been putting out EPs that i enjoy for years, i like both artists, but i'd say that Sean's career is just objectively a better one as a major artist.

if the question is who has made better music, Wale catalog is really deep given stuff that wasn't on a studio album to where i might rate him higher. but that is not how i interpreted the question. either way they're both two of the best of their generation.

Sean.

Wale got in his own way. Great artist tho.
