Yes he does. Love Hate Thing is fire but be real here. Lol.
Also love hate thing is great because of the hook

the issue with wale is that his solo music has no appeal

even French Montana was able to get a solo song to pop off

You wouldn’t know about great lyricism and soul in a song because your fav doesn’t have any .

My fav bar in the song is no where near the hook .

The whole song is full of gems .

What do you consider forced word play? I think Cole forces punchlines a lot more than Wale forces word play but I guess that's subjective.

J.Cole def has a better voice and enunciation. Storytelling is a strong disagree.

If you think Cole washed Wale on this then we clearly take in music very differently.


I neva heard that song

Now keep it a back Cole smoked him on Beatiful Bliss

Cole is NOT a better rapper than Wale :mjlol:

And I'm a fan of Cole, but c'mon now :francis:
Tf are y’all smoking Cole is better for the simple fact he sounds better rapping

Cole=soulful, raspy voice with Southern relaxed Carolina drawl

Wale=cocky, slurry, nasal voice with D.C. area/urrea accent

Cole has superior vocal tonality and enunciation therefore he pockets flows better, conveys emotion better, and is more coherent and enjoyable to listen to

If you talking lyrics Wale has some cool concepts and clever wordplay but that doesn’t put him above Cole :comeon:

:laff: :laff: :laff:

This why I can't be bothered with y'all, y'all too focused on the voices rather than the actual rapping :dead:

His music don't have a high enough production value to be fun to listen to post MMG. Dude is still a mixtape rapper in that way and the game has moved on from under produced music even from mixtape rappers.

His best beats are just "smooth", hooks don't be that catchy, never really had a " lane", never had a style thats friendly to cac fans but wanted to be "different" for black fans which comes with its own disadvantages. nikka just be rapping. It's just another example of how being a good rapper in itself is worthless in terms of success in the current game.

He shoulda got into the afrobeats scene a few years ago, maybe he could have revived a career there.
