Maybe not anymore, but Budden's early career kinda is comparable. They both had that underdog chip on their shoulders. Had to fight to get off of the shelf (Budden never really got off tho)... Joe rapped about everyday personal stuff, relationships etc... like Cole his fans were with him because of how "real" he was yada yada yadaJoe Budden and Cole isn't comparable.
i do respect how the guy has hoodwinked hundreds of thousands of people something lovely.
the connection between him and his fans is the strongest out of this new generation of rappers by far.
Coles the preacher that gets the folk to shower him with money and then leaves in a nice Benz.
he shows his fans exactly what they need to see and they eat it up.
he's a 30 plus now married millionaire and still wants his fans to believe he's falling off his bmx and scraping his knee while later getting weak at the knees when some broad strips down to her mismatched underwear.
he especially did a great job being the go to rapper for reborn again hoes.
as i've said before, some poor sap is going to get trapped by a former hoe because of Cole.
Drake...
Kanye is Vega
Hov is M Bison
I wouldn't want his career though. I'll just say that, he has a fanbase.
I'll leave it at that.
You got to be kidding me.
I went to a J Cole concert last year and there was nothing but cacs and mexicans there with a few black people peppered in. The hood dont even fukk with J.cole only nerds and suburb moms listen to Cole.

In what universe? They're the ones CONSTANTLY telling you how Cole is underrated, how Kendrick is overrated, and how 2014 Forrest Hills>>>TBAP/GKMC. Cole fans are some of the most whiny, obnoxious fans. They're the Middle-Children of hip-hop fans. They're the epitome of "Ya'll don't like JCole because ya'll don't understand REAL Hip-Hop" kinda fans.J Cole fans are pretty lowkey. They might say he's great but it's once in a great while, unlike Drake fans who are constantly posting memes of him and Kendrick fans who are sure TPAB was the greatest album of all time.
After the Meek Mills stuff, and the reference track fiasco of summer 2015, I can't see how anyone can say Drake stans aren't number 1.Kendrick stans are woat.
a long way after them, comes Drake. Then Cole. (if we're comparing the top 3 and their stanbases)

Yeah, I'm on social media, and I live in NC, so it's magnified times 1000!!!It is true from what I saw, but I see that "COLE IS REAL HIP HOP!!!!" hyperbole way less than the kenny and drake stuff.
I mean I see that OCCASIONALLY, we know different people soI also dont use twitter so you probably get it way worse
