    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!

    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.

    Drake ain't nothing but Ja Rule, Nelly,etc imo. As soon as the next pop rap ? 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.

    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.

    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 ? . I'm down with dissing the ? outta Igglo and Wacklemore but you gotta give credit to Marshall hes one of the best to ever do it

    Yea it is and I think K.R.I.T consistently makes better music than cole. It's better than I originally thought and definitely his best work since FNL.

    Lmao @ drake going anywhere. I don't really care about "mainstream success" but that ? makes more hits on accident than ? do on purpose. What lane can't drake succeed in?
