When Wale pops out in 2025, what will J Cole’s excuse be?

[Westbama Heartthrob]

I know you’re joking but...

Wale is about to hit another prime. I feel it. Wale is no slouch.

Which rapper would you rather be as a 40 year old?

J Cole aint giving me this:



Wale is big in afrobeats at the moment and his feature run is gearing up… yall just not paying attention to what he’s doing out here.

See, how can you listen to this…and tell me Cole’s bar-work can keep up with actually BREAKING shyt down? AND making it dope?

Wale got legit wedding songs. People disrespect Wale’s capacity for lyricism AND mainstream appeal.

Wale is who people think Cole is.

Watch…Remember this thread in at the end of the year...

No hes not. Wales is the better rapper and writer by miles. Better overall artist too

This was 2021 and a lot has changed since then:



So…now we gotta ask… since Cole took that hit…Wale is primed to take that spot...

Wale evaporated after Beautiful Bliss. I would have deleted Cole verse and blamed the engineer if I was him

 

[Big Boss]

Wale underrated

At one point Wale was expected to be part of the big 3 with Kendrick and Drake. He just started making corny moves.

There's a lot of people that could have replaced Cole, the 3rd spot was always very open

Wale run as an mainstream rapper is OVER, and Wale is my favorite rapper from that era and The Album About Nothing is my favorite album from the 2010s. Love Wale, but it's over

Wale had next at one point, but I think he leaned too far into the thot anthems, then his recurring bytchassness behavior off the mic killed what was left of his motion. I still bump some of his stuff from time to time.

This never was the case. He had the potential but his debut album sold badly and reviewed poorly


Wale is definitely a great hybrid of "The big 3" imo. He could do it all and had better songs for the ladies imo. Just couldn't connect with a broad audience (I don't think white people know Wale at all tbh)


Funny that I think about it, Interscope may have killed his career in their efforts to build up Kendrick

Wale had label trouble. The MUSIC was never bad.

Wale has bigger and more hits than J Cole. On every metric. Except, J Cole has Grammys for features.

Wale can kill a club spot right now. J Cole can not.

We getting another Album About Nothing?
