drake no doubt got some songs that you can chill with and what not and listen on any day. it's certainly enjoyable music that you can just let ride.
but from both their current discographies mixtape wise, wale tops drake, bar none.
he has a a lot more substance and a lot more to say. just even The Mixtape About Nothing has more to offer that what all 3 mixtapes drake has combined...
drake makes catchy punchlines and rhymes, but wale got down making the songs...
and to whomever said production, Boi-1nda is incredible, but don't underestimate The Best Kept Secret. they're great at what they do.
I feel that Drake says a lot more in his songs than Wale does
pardon me i had to laugh at that. its quotes like thesethat make drake fans less than credible. first of all, drake has very little depth.. in fact, i compare him to a glorified lil wayne (with less charisma, moreABAB verse configuration, and no drug problems).. just because you UNDERSTAND more of what drake is saying doesnt mean drake is SAYING more than the averagepunchline rapper. wale is on another level with the wordplay/double/triple entendres when compared to these other upstart MC's (top10freshmen, drake, etc)i know, i know ppl are gonna come at me with the "you're just d-riding blah blah", but seriously my dude have you LISTENED to Artistic Integrity? have you UNDERSTOOD wale's mixtapes? like that @+@+ has so many layers i seriously find myself thinking about a new line of a certain song on the 20-30thlisten. okay, i concede that dude does string his words together on ocassion and sometimes it seems like son is just intentionally spitting saliva into themicrophone daffy-duck style for fun, but to say he is not lyrically better than 99% of the up-and-coming acts out there is stupid, straight up.
dont get me started with the flow... ive heard some ppl say they love Wale's flow and some absolutely despise it.. to each his own i guess. This topic isabout lyricism. Peace.

^lol i see where you're coming from, i'm not saying his flow is great or anything, just that I personally like it. But trust me i know i'm alone on that one. lol

I have, as well as So Far Gone and Heartbreak Drake. How many Drake fans have listened to Paint a Picture, Hate is the New Love, Voice of theCity, Mixtape About Nothing, AND 100 Miles and Running?Originally Posted by OptimusPrimeAPhiA
How many of you have listend to ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT or COMEBACK SEASON ?
I consider Comeback Season a classic mixtape.
I don't.
Wale got flow and I went to his show in ATL at the same venue Drake performed at and i'll tell you that Wale didn't fill that place anywhere NEAR how drake had people hanging on to whatever real estate they could find on the floor.
Drake has a MAJOR Lil Wayne cosign, the same person who happens to be the hottest rapper out as of today. Also Drake draws much of his fanbasefrom his singing. Nevertheless, both of these facts are irrelevant to the topic and having fans has nothing to do with lyricism either. Can Nas packstadiums?
He may have a faster flow and you feel like hes not saying the same thing but the gist is the same.
This is just a generalization.
Like I've said before, I mess with Drake as much as the next dude on NT, but NT has a bad way of making me find faults in certain artists just because somany dudes put them on a pedestal. (eg. hov, ye, etc, etc)

wale
drake got the hype though, cant front on dudes good music. but when it comes down to it, wale is pound for pound the better rapper
How is Wale pound for pond the better rapper? Drake has a better flow, better delivery, more complete sounding records. Even if Wale was morelyrical(which he isn't) it aint like he on some Pun !@++ where he's that much of a lyrical genius that it's all he needs to be great. All Wale hasover Drake is creativity and that don't mean much if you can't deliver musically.
yeah...cause if we're talking about better rappers, rap success isn't defined by how many syallables you fit in a bar...its how you reachthe tier of popularity and how many people ride with you...Originally Posted by MrWavez

Think about Jay-Z...dude isn't the best person to make rap music...some of his rhymes are down right elementary..

Way to generalize...dudes can't have a real convo out here without getting the "fanboy" label put on him. I just asked a simplequestion. I never said that he didn't have any mediocre raps...I just asked him what he thought was "elementary". If you can't answer thequestion why bother?Originally Posted by TheBachellor

Hov fanboys still out in full effect.
Hov can't have ANY mediocre raps on here, he can't lose ANY battles, can do NO wrong
