    Career wise Drake has had the most success obviously but if you take their three best projects and compare I'd take Cole by a slim margin.

    Plus if we comparing their last two projects Cole is better right now imo.

    Drakes more varied, and consistent with the variety

    But some of my favorite songs from both would be difficult to chose between

    Cole's a great producer, but his writing typically does nothing for me. He just isn't very compelling as an mc, and even on the songs of his that I like I struggle to get into his verses.

    As much as I love cole i'm sorry but Drake takes the nod especially when were comparing them specifically in artistry. When these two were coming up i always thought of cole trying to hard to project singing into his song because thats how Drake was and he was changing the game one song at a time. And no one can argue Cole is better singer then Drake. Drake clearly can sing better nonetheless make a full song where just sings and doesn't rap. Its not knock cole he just cant sing as good as Drake. Both are top 5 in the game though for sure with Drake leading the way though. Cole > Drake though in Jodeci. Drakes disocogrpahy > Coles as well that not really anything to be upset about considering how good Drake's discography is especially since the TC era. FHD is the most underrated tape out these entire catalogs though. Im a huge fan of it i can listen to it non-stop and not skip a single track. This may be premature but FHD could be the best tape out both of the entire catalog of these 2 :colerly::drakelaugh2::jordan::kanye3:

    I don't think Cole's singing had anything to do with Drake tbh. He's almost always done it, just never to the extent Drake did/does.

    Cole. FHD is just the beginning, hopefully, Cole stays in this zone he's been in for well over a year now. He may potentially rival Drake's popularity in the future :coleshh:

    If he plays his cards right he definitely could. He got off to a late start because of the delays for his debut, but no one can deny he's been on fire lately. It'd be a dream come true to see these 2 at the top of the game.

    Nowdays, no matter how much y'all eat, y'all still will ask for seconds. I don't mind him going ghost to take his time, BUT at the same time he can't tease the fans :sad2:
