We can start both now if we really wanted. Drakes $$ is well taken care of. He also has his OVO movement. No need to branch out when hes still working on self. Ross been in the game 2wice as long as Drake. <br /><br />Remember hes 1/2 Jewish. Sleep if you want but his money bubblin somewhere it dont need to be seen.<br /><br />He signed to young $ and still kept indy distribution. Went Platinum in like 3-4 mons, and was on a Nationally syndicated show as a teenager acting before rap! I dont know man... to call him horrible is a misstep. If you want to say he should place his disposable income in Fubuesque Canadian wears and 5 rappers with struggle lyrics from Toronto, than say that.Streetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530252589712115697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016378587242424045.post-3135058889766167412011-07-15T22:10:48.358-04:002011-07-15T22:10:48.358-04:00@Dj Jay

Does he have a brendas got a baby or a black girl lost. Does he have a through the wire or anything like that? I doubt it<br /><br />@ATL I could say the same thing about love for outkast being that you clearly are from ATL. If you read my comment, I said I wouldnt really fight a outkast > Wu as a group. Its subjective. But if we're going to analyze lyrical content, what do Outkast really be rappin about other than their life in ATL, funk, dungeon family, and random stories? We can do this all day.<br /><br />I took my ny bias out and made objective points. Im still waiting on a Dre 3k SOLO album. Its seasy to drop classic verses when you only have to drop 1.5 a track. No shots.Streetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530252589712115697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016378587242424045.post-70811206287780945652011-07-15T18:58:44.010-04:002011-07-15T18:58:44.010-04:00I disagree with the Meek vs. J Cole assessment. Co...I disagree with the Meek vs. J Cole assessment. Come on, you can't judge a guy for having a college degree. Having a degree goes nowhere toward his lyricism, his storytelling, and just skill. Put up any Meek mixtape against J.Cole's and he beasts. Check out Friday Night Lights, joint was album classic.<br /><br />I agree with the Lil B point though. Dude is wack, but folks listen to see if he can go any lower. You pretty much got everybody else right though.King Jasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16065787424332640467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016378587242424045.post-90500031159015159622011-07-15T16:22:09.123-04:002011-07-15T16:22:09.123-04:00Seriously...only a NY cat would ever say that they...Seriously...only a NY cat would ever say that they are better than Outkast. Every album (even Idlewild) went platinum. Speakerboxx/The Love Below is the biggest selling hip hop album EVER.<br /><br />Only Idlewild was even questioned as less than a banger and the most underrated crew album of all time could be Dungeon Family's Even In Darkness. I won't ever question Wu Tang's dopeness, but it's Outkast BY A MILE. Critically, commercially, and culturally (meaning the entire South's rep for non-bass hip hop rides on them dudes). <br /><br />Streetz, I hear you, but the cult following for Kast is basically everyone outside of NY. The only reason you don't hear it anymore because Outkast hasn't been Outkast for 5 years, but the South, Midwest and the West all ride for Outkast, so I'm not sure I'm agreeing with your cult argument. I'll give you Big Boi as someone that is in the middle of those Wu cats on the skills side, but if you're talking pure skills - then, I'm saying no one in the Wu can touch Dre's versatility, flow, creativity on any subject. Well, except talking about dope, NYC, and marital arts. As for longevity, they both been in the game the same amt of time, made the same number of albums (as a group, not splinter cells), and still are doing things in hip hop. Not sure it's even close, but I'm with Dr. J - it doesn't need to be debated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838862137960043254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016378587242424045.post-41972651090287970822011-07-15T16:15:30.244-04:002011-07-15T16:15:30.244-04:00As a group not individuals on that Wu Tang thing.
...As a group not individuals on that Wu Tang thing.<br /><br />As a businessman, Drake didn't do anything to market himself. That's what I said, marketing genius. Drake got those sales off talent. But now look at him, his appearance is lacking, he's not really putting out anything for his next album. He's been rolling with the wrong crew, not really concerned with how to get to the next level. But look at Ross, he starting a label, clothing line, he's doing appearances, and the way he brands himself is crazy.<br /><br />And Ross used to not say nothing, but that's different now. If you listen to John, I was proud because that's the first time in a while he's actually came out and spit fire. He went hard on that, concrete. If you listen to Deeper than Rap and Teflon Don is mad tracks that show versatility. However, if you just listening to his radio cuts and the Lex Luger tracks that's just something to keep the registers blinging. That's my opinion though. Maybe wrong, but I doubt it.Dr. Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04539594257560675395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016378587242424045.post-83268380529078545952011-07-15T15:42:52.510-04:002011-07-15T15:42:52.510-04:00J.

I don't k...J. Cole went to St. Johns, Not NYU.<br /><br />I don't know how you can call a dude like Drake a horrible businessman. What has he done business wise for you to base this on? Son makes bread, went plat off his album (has ross seen any parts of plat yet?). Also, to say hes gotten worse vs ross is hard when ross shows no diversity.<br /><br />If you really listen to what Ross is sayin, you'll see he aint saying shyt, it just sounds DOPE! Drake is way more versatile and will have his songs playing in the same set as Ross.<br /><br />Do this assessment in 2 years and I bet its no contest.<br /><br />THe Outkast vs Wu Tang is interesting. I would say Wu Tang has a way bigger cult following, but in pure skills? think about it.. You Got Andre and Big Boi vs Ghost, Rae, Meth, Gza, Rza, ODB, Deck, Mastah Killah, and yes ima leave off U-God, lol. Son, Im not even showing NY Bias... To dismiss it without backing is a little short sided. I think overall outkast could get the nod, but if we talkin longevity... i mean...<br /><br />Rae Meth and Ghost all put out classic solos... Dre 3K Still doesnt have one, and dont bring up the love below!<br /><br />Thats a harder argument than you make it out to be.<br /><br />J.Cole should be runnin hip hop. Damn shame yo.<br /><br />Good Comparison list.
