I don't like his music but he has something goin for him that most other rappers don't. He's a GIFTED songwriter, that shyt goes a long way. And he never came in with some hard image so even when he gets older his core fans won't move away from him because of his superstar status (50 Cent,Lil Wayne,TI etc..) kinda like a Kanye-lite situation.

OK...I gotta ask, no diss to you, but remove what you think about him as a person...you're feeling NONE of his songs?

I mean have you listened to only whats on the radio from him or have you given him a real listen?

I'm not going to convince you, but I'm just curious what one means when they say this.

Tell me Cole dont got more talent than Drake? :diddyiseeyou: He's just a bum who doesnt know how to promote his music correctly.

His problem is that he tries too hard to have "the right sound"..thats why Drake is selling more albums.
He writes better songs, but he's not a better lyricist than Cole.

Lyrics alone don't create good songs.

Good songs create good songs.

OH...and Drake is a better lyricist than J Cole. I wholeheartedly stand by this. No diss to J Cole, but dudes are drawn to his sound but none of them talk about how underwhelming he is talent wise. Kendrick Lamar mops the floor with him.

I dare anyone say that when it comes down to it, Drake is one of the REALEST rappers out there.

Dude even makes fun of himself. You can't pull secrets on that guy or pull his card. Its all there in his music.

Dude is on his music who he is as a person. THAT IS HIP HOP. Is it not?















































And because I said that, Kanye West is one of the GOATs. He made it possible for dudes who weren't necessarily street/urban to have rap careers...AND be open about where they came from. Mind you, a lot of 90s rappers didn't grow up street/hood but they HID that aspect of their lives. Thats the difference.

Kdot wipes the floor with BOTH


I dont agree bruh..J Cole is def a better lyricist..Go look up his shyt.


Drake is a way better song writer ill give you that..but as far as technical ability goes he aint seeing him.

J Cole doesnt have Drakes charisma and mic presence...thats one of his biggest problems.

1. I've listened to every J Cole song he's ever released. EVERY ONE. But you know what? I've also listened to every Drake song. Drake wins. EASILY. Especially when we talk about So Far Gone and Comeback Season. Throw in the run of songs before Take Care. Also don't forget those features from 2012...Drake is the fukkING TRUTH on the mic. But I guess you think hes just a simp for women on his R&B tracks...WHICH have better lyrics than (at this point) 80%+ of R&B singers.

2 .Drake IS a better song writer. Glad you agree...but technically, Drake can run a multi-metaphor/syllable verse WITH EASE. Don't confuse "content" with "capability." Drake doesn't talk about what a lot of underground fans like in the sense that he doesn't touch on compared to J Cole...but before So Far Gone, thats ALL he was about. Thats the thing. Drake WENT through that on wax. He's just not there in his life now. I'll bet you that if Drake wanted to talk about Abortion, or Obama, or...whatever that he'd DO IT BETTER than J Cole. And you know it too. So all you can do is say Drake doesn't talk about political topics...well yeah nikka thats cause hes getting invited to do concerts for Bill Clinton and shyt.

3. J Cole not having mic presence? His fault. J Cole not having charisma? His fault. Get his team right and he'll garner that sort of presence.

Examples and I'll show you the difference

Its a reason why

TI
Wayne
Ross
Jay Z

will NEVER EVER not be relevant

:what:

All those rappers have a chance of being irrelevant, Wanye is already showing signs of it, Ross could just simply fall off, same goes for T.I.

Jay has the highest chance of staying relevant because of the Roc Nation deal. Without it, If dude stopped making albums & guess features here and there Jay would be irrelevant.
