what is a black upbringing?
What "intangible" IT factor is J. Cole missing that Drake seems to have?

Drake is literally better at everything.
J cole needs to improve his beat and hook making

Drake has the clubs on lock too.

cole doesn't make an abundance of radio/club friendly songs, that's pretty much it. girls think cole is fine, so he'd easily be "it" if he were making stripper/simp anthems
drake's music is more melodic a la catchy....cole is more focused on lyricism over melodies hence requiring more effort to listen to sometimes if the beat aint jamming...drake clearly has a better ear for beats/melodies....casual rap fans will gravitate more to the 'easier' listen

Agreed...but KRIT's commercial projects suffer because of it.
And Cole's first album is so terrible sonically...but hey...do you
Man when I first listened to his new shyt, it sounded like they used a PS1 to mix that
All the beats sound the same, his new CD sounds like that mixtape Lupe dropped that was one long ass track

Who said that? Drake was raised in a middle upper class Canadian neighborhood by his white family. They probably didn't even have Black dogs by his way. You can tell Cole's Black family had a big influence from the things he speaks about to his music. Drake's upbringing was so far removed from Black culture. Whites look at Drake & see the "Black" kid from Degrassi that would be the token "Black" friend around his white buddies. Drake definitely benefits more from his white privilege more than Cole has or ever will

You take a snippet of my post & twist it. Typical wack poster
All black people don't grow up the same.Stop effing around
Drake is Jay, J. Cole is Nas
Simple as that

Best I've Ever Had was soft ass record...
Find Your Loving was the beginning of the formula....
Take Care itself was a huge soft ass record....
Just Hold On was a huge soft ass record.....
He put on 'The Weeknd' 'PartyNextdoor' 'Majid Jordan' and 'ILoveMakkonen'. The lane he's going for is clearly women.
They buy records and support him. I've seen it myself.... Girls can't get enough of those appeasing soft joints and he knows it.

I never said that but I will say AA's that were raised around their Black family from their youth up behave different than Blacks who weren't for the most part.
