May 17, 2021 I don't know how to rank Cole because he doesn't have a classic but he does have a really solid discog. He's sounding great at album 6, and never really dropped the ball. Not a lot of rappers could say that. Kendrick has him beat atm but he's a couple behind at this point. Drake is Drake. Who cares.
May 17, 2021 Kendrick is in a tier above Drake and a Cole in my opinion, but I still enjoy all three. I know Drake is polarizing, but Take Care, NWTS and IYRTITL were prime Drake for me. I stopped getting excited for his projects after Views. Coles latest project was great and he has a solid discography, but I agree he’s never had a classic album.
May 17, 2021 Voted J Cole. I like Kendrick, but I do find him a tad overrated. His studio albums always deliver tho. (I kinda think he’s due for a dud) Sometimes the “critical darling-ness” of Kendrick masks whatever type of thing he puts out, if that makes any sense. Drake is just a humongous pop star. Who doesn’t like drake? I find Cole to be a happy medium between the two. He’s also my fav so I’m bias lol
May 18, 2021 Kendrick for me. Nearly flawless discography. Easily the most talented rapper of the three. Used to like Drake but he's been incredibly boring since Views. I had massive hopes for Cole, but since FHD his albums have all been let downs for me Any ways, I'd take future or thug over these dudes any day.
May 18, 2021 Drake has always felt like the soft-core p--- of rap. He's undeniably talented but I can't bust a nut to him. Need something harder.
May 18, 2021 You could literally throw on a drake only playlist at a pregame or some s--- and no one would bat an eye. Like, it’s fair to criticize Drake, but, like, if you straight up don’t like his music you’re a dork
May 18, 2021 A lot of Ja Rule and Nelly's old hits could be played in a lot of settings too compared to a lot of rappers so that doesn't say much. Drake obviously has more mass appeal than the other 2 but that doesn't say much about his rapping or music quality.
May 18, 2021 If people don’t like Ja Rule’s and Nelly’s hits either then they’re also weird! I was strictly talking about the people who dismiss Drake completely. Nobody should be listening to him looking for a Sing About Me type of song anyway.
May 18, 2021 People who want to enjoy music. If I need some sleep, I play TPAB or Cole. I don't care if they rap better than Drake if their music is not sonically pleasing or enjoyable.
May 18, 2021 It’s actually hilarious that you think Drake isn’t boring but Cole & Kendrick are. Drake been doing the same monotone delivery talking flow for half a decade & saying NOTHING.
May 18, 2021 Drake has been switching his style, dude even tried different genres, that's what he's known for. And he also sings, so it's not just straight rapping like Cole's last.
