January 28th is my shit. Up there with sideline story to me

This album is better than any Drake CD whether its a classic or not.

 

[R.D.]

BS was better than any Drake project

 

[usmarin3]

So Kendrick and Cole made a classic before Drake.

This isn't a classic. This isn't even better than Krit album

To each is own, but when it's all said and done Cole will have the commercial success and the critical acclaim to cement a classic album. Krit won't commercially!

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

I feel Cole can do what Drake can do but Drake can't do what Cole can.

Cole has the ability to relate to people, speak on certain topics like Ferguson, growing up poor, abortion etc.

He's also a better story teller. Drake is kinda lacking in the substance area

However, Drake has hits for days and is a global superstar BUT in today's game hits are very easy to come by if you align yourself with the right people.

I think Drake COULD, step his content game up, he just hasnt yet. The same with Cole, he has superstar potential , he just hasnt reached the level Drake has.

NWTS>>FHD ,imo

Drake ain't nothing but Ja Rule, Nelly,etc imo. As soon as the next pop rap nigga comes along he will be replaced. The great rappers know how to survive the changing scene in hiphop, Drake don't strike me as that.

Its goin on 6 years that Drake's been killing the game lol

You been saying that since 2009

 

[YoungChamp]

For the record. Nothing was the same might be better selling wise. but as far as content And substance, 2014 forest hills drive is far superior . Drake can't describe things like Cole. Two different lifestyles.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

their subject matter different but the same all the time

How long was Ja's run? How long was Nelly's run? 7 years

 

[_Goldie_]

Ja's was from 99 to about 03

Nelly 00 to 04

lol @ nelly being hot in 07

 

[Nah Son]

Havent listened yet cause I'm finna buy the joint and didnt read the thread but did he really put Em next to Iggy and Macklemore and dissed him with them? If so thats wack cause even if I'm not a fan of his Eminem put in a crazy amount of work and been down with hip hop I dont think hes a culture vulture at all

I remember Redman talking about how Em was in his hood in the nineties tryna make a name as a rapper and shit. I'm down with dissing the shit outta Igglo and Wacklemore but you gotta give credit to Marshall hes one of the best to ever do it

 

[R.D.]

their subject matter different but the same all the time

Don't do this to yourself mikey

I'd hate to spam this thread with premeditated murder, lost ones, killers, 3 wishes, Kenny loftin, be free, etc

I'm saying that they both rap about different shit. But they stick to their lane.

 

[ShottaDaBeast]

[HustleThaDon]
