J. Cole earned more than Drake and Nicki Minaj in 2015.

[mr.africa]

Maybe over your head, I’m ahead of my time
nikkas scared of my future, I know they dreadin’ my prime
‘Cause I only made classics, now what that take? Timing
Cole under pressure, what that make? Diamonds
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds..)

I ain't serve no pies, I ain't slang no dope
I don't bring no lies, nikkas sang my quotes
I don't play no games, boy I ain't no joke
Like the great Rakim, when I make my notes
You nikkas might be L or you might be Kane
Or you might be Slick Rick with 19 chains
Or you might be Drizzy Drake or Nicki Minaj
But check your birth date nikka, you ain't the God
Nah you ain't the God
nikka Cole the God

Did earn more, just generated more.

Ummm Where's Kendrick??????

I'm sure the aftermath and all the other label higher ups are deep in his pockets from a music/publishing standpoint ....and I don't even think he did like a full nationwide tour...I know he did some "one night only " kinda shyt in like 10 cities, and I'm pretty sure his festival run was the year before last...

lol wow

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Universal > Cash Money > Young Money > J.Prince > Apple > Toronto Raptors > Drake

Too many hands in the pot for Drake to Maximize his wealth

Exactly. This is why he is virtually untouchable and well protected, except for Diddy who is above them all.

So Suge wasn't lying about Kendrick's deal being terrible?

 

[HiiiPower]

well deserved, great to see an artist who's always humble and himself shine like that off the music that he wants to make.

 

[Sauce Dab]

Drake actually earned more than all of them in total earnings. Forbes just reported that earlier this week. You won't see Kendrick on there because he didn't tour the album hard. He went to a couple cities to perform and that was it
And the fact that TDE/Aftermath/interscope is in his pockets as well

I bruise wack rap nikkas severely punish them
Especially those that get fukked for they publishing, heh
Always gotta be the weakest nikka out the crew
I probably make more money off yo' album, than you

[Chip Skylark]

Where's Kendrick

Get Top on the phone

HAHAHAHAHA 5 star post

 

[blizzard man]

This is so forced

Stop trying to make j Cole happen, it's not happening

i mean, it clearly is...

if j.cole wasnt happening he'd be putting up young thug numbers, not running a sold out tour and getting it aired on HBO

he's not happening in 'the booth', which means absolutely nothing.

nikkas is still arguing about ja rule vs 50 cent in here

 

[UpAndComing]

He ain't let Nas down
