    No doubt , but I think Cole's producing abilities offset that. :colerly:

    Absolutely bro, I honestly didn't think he could ever get a whiff of Drake's popularity, but FHD has changed that. Now, it's on Cole to deliver again and if he does then :whew:watch out Drizzy

    X factor is Kendrick tho :kanye: can't forget homie too

    Thats true Cole is a underrated as a producer but Drake doesn't really produce though the little he has done has been very good

    If you told me back in 2008 that Cole would sell out MSG, I would've had a hard time believing you. I agree Kendrick is the X Factor, but as of right now he lacks that mass appeal Drake & Cole have, not to mention he hasn't dropped nearly as much material as they have.

    From my knowledge, Kendrick hasn't had a hit since his first album, and TPAB was not set up to have any hits.

    But back to the topic, I still can't believe he sold out MSG. Cole should feel vindicated by his recent success

    I'm sure he does. It's been a long time coming for him and it's well deserved. He seems like the type to be motivated by all the love he's been getting, so I'm hopeful the FHD follow up will be just as good if not better.

    Drake better career and wiser decisions. Cole the better rapper though. Drizzy the better artist.

    Drake has the better career so far. But I think Cole's mainstream career is about to pop off. I can see him taking that number spot sooner or later. Also can't discredit the fact that Cole writes his own rhymes, produces most of his songs.

    I'm surprised it took that long for someone to mention writing.

    Cole definitely gets points because of how good a producer he is. I'd love to hear them collab over a Cole beat.

    I didn't f--- with Cole before but to me he makes some singy songs that remind me of Drake and personally I think he does it better. People sleep on his mixtapes. Never thought I'd be bumping a J Cole mixtape from 09 (The Warm Up) in present day but that's the gift of sleeping on him. Drake just never clicked with me, Cole has.

    I'm probably a bigger fan of Cole, but Drake is more successful.
