J. Cole and Drake are both great artists. Nearly every track that appears online gets crazy numbers in listens and downloads. But the real question is which one of these talented artists is better? The recent subliminal disses by both have now become the focal point of discussion in the hip hop community, Relevant Mindset will break it down for the fans.
So first, you have their recent mixtapes. J. Cole has two public mixtapes, the most recent, The Warmup, was highly rated, and could have easily been an album. Cole offers motivation, thoughts, crazy rhyme schemes, a broad picture, being a single male, stories, and the track “Dreams” is just impeccable. This is a must download. Then, you have Drake, another talented artist, who just happens to be a decent singer as well. He might just be the fastest blow up of any artist, but with most people its either you are a big fan, or your not. There’s no in between with Drizzy. In the end, about 75% of people f&# wit Drake. The main reason, besides the fact he blew up from a Nickelodeon sponsored network show, is because of the success of his extremely popular mixtape So Far Gone. The facts that it had incredible flows, great songs, a few features, and offered you a new type of good artist is the reason that the mixtape was so great and was released for sale in stores, in fact going gold.
With so many artists getting on tracks with both of the artists, Drake might have the edge. Both have songs with Jay Z, Cole was featured on a verse and Drizzy had a hook on The Blueprint 3. Cole has songs with guys like Jay Electronica, Mos Def, and Talib Kweli. Drake has songs with Eminem, Kanye, Wayne, Jeezy and Alicia Keys. Drake has the edge, but only because of his commmercial appeal. Drake is a great artist, but as a hip hop em-cee, he is no where near J. Cole.
Yet, when you compare Cole and Drizzy, you realize that the two spit about the same things, but at the same time are complete opposites of each other. Cole raps about shorties, and livin’ the life just as much as Drake does. Drake tends to spit about the life, and the Hollywood lifestyle, but Cole raps more about treatin’ girls the way they treated him, and getting rid of em’ before the night is over. In the end, Cole is more lyrical, has better flows and has better rhyme schemes. Drake, has better songs, has better features and more of a commercial appeal
In the end, Relevant MindSet says J. Cole is the better hip hop artist, but Drake is the better commercial artist. Both should be around for a long time, and we need to get used to them. Guys like Hov and Wayne wouldn’t just put their support in any artists. (maybe Wayne) But in the end, all you can do is realize the great music that both the artists produce. J. Cole gets Relevant MindSet’s vote for being the better hip hop artist. Drake will always sell more, but Cole will always be better when it comes down to traditional hip hop.
