    Facts. When Drake was coming up there were so many relatable quotes and songs. Name a song or project that Wale has that's touching So Far Gone, Trust issues, I'm on one etc. Drake was in his bags. Not gonna lie I use to f*** with old Wale, but my group of friends and everyone we hung out with related to Drake's music more.

    thwmebalbum ebaotu nothing.

    listen to any wale/cole collab and youll see he is simply not on that top level

    Was trying to coddle my wording but this tbh

    most people agree his best songs are the ones everyone knows, which isn’t what you want for longevity

    clams Casoni

    I dont know who that is.

    Drake has 40. Kendrick has Dre.
    Cole has Cole.

    Wale does not have Clams Casino as his producer

    There are some people who bring up colorism as a reason as to why Drake blew up more than Wale despite them making similar "rap music for the chicks" tunes. But I really think it's simply because Drake had the co-sign of Lil Wayne who was at the time one of the biggest rappers in the world. Also being recognizable from his years as a childhood actor also helped give him a boost.

    tbh ppl do forget the latter part you brought up

    the fact he was a major character on degrassi, which was popular in both the U.S and Canada, really helped get his career out there

  • He let his emotions get ahead of business

    Absolutely, dude was making hip-hop that appealed to teenagers and young adults who grew up on Degrassi. Dude came into the game with a base of people who knew who he was already.

  • How many rappers are or have ever been the level of Drake? Sometimes you just don’t get there but it doesn’t mean people don’t appreciate your work or that you’re a failure. Wale is a decade plus in still culturally relevant to rap and has legitimate hits to his name

  • MARNILIFESTYLE ATT

    he can rap as well and sing even better
    also has women fanbase
    and classics albums (attention deffecit, folariaan, and shine)

    he won't be a pawn in the industry. he's never been afraid to be abrasive and that personality trait keeps him from building relationships that could push his admittedly great music to new heights.

    Drake himself used to say in songs how he has to maintain fake relationships with people he doesn't like at all. Wale got sick of the bullshit too early in his career, before he really had the game in a chokehold.
